Nidus Prime
Prime Warframe Farming Guide
Mutation is endless. The ravening plague-bearer returns in a long-unseen form, seething with a primal strain of the Infestation.
"Market forces dictate that you need to evolve or die."
Nidus Prime is Vaulted. Players looking to obtain it have to trade with other players for the relics or the parts. For more efficient runs, you can purchase the rare relics and run a radiant group.

Warframe Abilities
Virulence
Rupture the ground with a damaging fungal growth that steals energy from each enemy it strikes. For every five enemies hit, the Infestation mutates, multiplying its destructive force.
Larva
Spawn an Infested pod that erupts with tendrils, latches onto nearby enemies and pulls them in. Enemies killed while held have a chance of generating a Mutation stack.
Parasitic Link
Bind to a target with parasitic link. When cast on an ally, both the host and Nidus have their Ability Strength increased. Linked enemies take some of the damage inflicted on Nidus.
Ravenous
Gluttonous maggots swarm nearby enemies, feasting until they are hit with Virulence and burst with Infestation. The maggots benefit from Mutation and each enemy hit adds to the Mutation stack.

Optimal Approach:
- Focus on rare items first as they are the hardest to obtain. Use groups to increase chances.
- Accumulate Void Traces and run upgraded relics for better rewards.
- You can use recruitment chat to find "Radiant Share" groups.
Refinement Tips:
- Always refine relics to Radiant for the Rare items.
- Exceptional is a good balance for Uncommon (Silver) items.
- Save Void Traces by keeping relics Intact for Common items. Use the drop percentages to decide what to do.
