Don't have platinum? Farm Aya now (it drops from normal relic farming missions), then buy Zhuge Prime relics from Varzia in Maroo's Bazaar when the prime comes back in rotation. Rotations change every ~28 days. See the current Prime Resurgence rotation.

Zhuge Prime Relic Sources

The hardest part to farm currently is Barrel. It is Rare in all 5 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 18p 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 Zhuge Prime

Optimal approach

  • Go for the Barrel 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 its 5 Rare relics, such as Neo Z3, Neo Z5 or Neo Z6 (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: Receiver from any of Axi B3, Axi D1, Meso W2 or Neo N14 (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 its 5 Rare relics, such as Neo Z3, Neo Z5 or Neo Z6 while going for the Barrel. 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.
