Shade Prime Relic Sources
The hardest part to farm currently is Carapace. It is Rare in all 4 of its relics, so any of them is an equal source: 10.00% per player at Radiant, or 34.39% when four players open the same relic. It currently sells for 30p on warframe.market.
Every relic is vaulted and none is in the current Varzia rotation, so trade for them or check your inventory.

How To Farm Shade Prime
Optimal approach
- Go for the Carapace first. Getting the required prime part takes the most runs at the given refinement making it the hardest to farm. Even then the part is not guaranteed (Pray to RNGesus!).
- Best Relic to focus on is any of Axi S16, Axi S19, Lith S15 or Neo S18 (This Prime is currently vaulted: Trade with a player for the relics or wait for Prime Resurgence Rotation).
- With all four players opening the same relic at Radiant, you have a 34.39% chance per run vs 10.00% when running solo. So opening the same relic as a squad is always better.
- After that: Blueprint from any of its 7 Uncommon relics, such as Axi A17, Axi H8 or Axi W3 (20.00% per-player at Radiant). Repeat farming and opening the relic until you have everything you need.
Refinement and radshares
- Use Radiant (100 Traces) on any of Axi S16, Axi S19, Lith S15 or Neo S18 while going for the Carapace. For squad odds, all four players must open the same relic at Radiant. This increases your chances of getting the part.
- As per the game odds, you can expect roughly 2 Radshare runs for 50% odds of getting the required prime part, compared with about 7 solo runs.
- Keep relics Intact for Common rewards. Radiant gives the highest chance for Uncommon and Rare rewards; use the refinement listed for each part in the farming plan. Never open Axi relics for rare parts solo, it's not worth it.
