Become the Ultimate Trickster with Loki Prime: A Step-by-Step Guide to Crafting

Hey Tenno,

So, you’ve set your sights on Loki Prime? Brilliant choice! He’s the trickster Warframe, and Loki Prime takes that to a whole new level. Let’s walk through what makes Loki Prime so special, where to find him, and how to craft him. Just a heads up, though, things might get a bit tricky (pun totally intended).

Loki vs Loki Prime:

What’s the difference? As you might expect, Loki Prime is an upgrade to the basic Loki in every way. He’s got more shields (75 to Loki’s 50), a higher energy capacity (175 to Loki’s 150), and an additional V polarity slot. These all make Loki Prime a more powerful, durable, and versatile choice. Basically, Loki Prime = Loki, but fancier.

How to get Loki Prime relics

Now, let’s talk about “Vaulting”. When a Warframe is Vaulted, it means that the relics needed to get its parts stop dropping from in-game missions. In other words, they’re locked away in the Vault. Loki Prime has been Vaulted and Unvaulted several times in the game’s history, so at times it might be harder to get his parts.

But fear not, fellow Tenno, there’s always a way. Even when Loki Prime is Vaulted, you can still get his parts through trading with other players. It might cost you a bit of Platinum, but hey, some things are worth the price, right?

Alternatively, there is also the Prime resurgence, a new feature to Warframe where older/ vaulted Warframes and weapons are made available in game, either for purchase using Regal Aya, or for relic farming through Aya. This means you can simply farm Aya until the Loki prime is available in the resurgence, then trade all that Aya for a whole bunch of relics.

Materials to build Loki Prime

After this process, when you have the blueprint for every Loki piece you need. Now you need to farm the resources to actually build him. Let’s break that down:

1. Loki Prime Blueprint: 25,000 credits, 1 Loki Prime Neuroptics, 1 Loki Prime Chassis, 1 Loki Prime Systems, and 1 Orokin Cell.

2. Loki Prime Neuroptics: 15,000 credits, 150 Alloy Plate, 1 Neural Sensors, 150 Polymer Bundle, and 500 Rubedo.

3. Loki Prime Chassis: 15,000 credits, 1 Morphics, 1000 Ferrite, 300 Rubedo.

4. Loki Prime Systems: 15,000 credits, 3 Control Modules, 1 Gallium, 500 Salvage, and 220 Plastids.

These materials can be found in various locations throughout the Solar System. Grind them out, gather what you need, then head to your Foundry and start the crafting process. Each part takes 12 hours to craft, but the whole Warframe needs 72 hours. No shortcuts here, but patience is a virtue, Tenno. Well, you can spend platinum to rush this, but that’s an extortionate price.

Remember, Loki Prime is a stealthy and evasive Warframe with a high skill ceiling, which makes mastering him an exciting and rewarding endeavor. He’s got some amazing abilities like invis, and radial disarm that make him super fun to play.

Keep in mind that if you’re struggling to find the necessary relics or parts, there’s always the Warframe community. There are loads of players out there who might be willing to trade with you or even help you out in your farming efforts. See if anyone in Trade chat is up for a Radshare.

Good luck out there, may the RNG gods be ever in your favor.
