Every Prime Warframe (2026): Release Dates, Which Are Vaulted, and What Each Set Costs
51 Primes: released, vaulted or not, and the set price, live
Last Updated on September 18, 2026
The short answer
There are 51 Prime Warframes, Excalibur Prime being Founders-only. A new one lands roughly every three to four months and each is vaulted about two years later, after which it only returns through Prime Resurgence or trading. The table is live: status comes from the relic drop tables and Varzia’s current stock, prices from warframe.market.
Reviewed September 10, 2026, current through Update 43.5. Iceblade of Narin lands September 23 and is not reflected yet; this page is re-checked after every major patch.

Table of Contents
What you need first
| Requirement | Why |
|---|---|
| Relics | Every Prime part drops from a relic; the Relic finder shows which, with the odds. |
| Void fissures | Where relics open. Four Radiant relics in a squad is the fastest route to the rare part. |
| Prime Resurgence | Varzia at Maroo's Bazaar sells vaulted relics for Aya on a rotation. |
| Trading | Any Prime part or set trades for platinum; the price column is what sets go for today. |
How to get any Prime
- Type the Prime into the Relic finder to see which relics drop its four parts and whether they are dropping now.
- Farm the relics (Void Capture and Survival for the tier you need), refine the rare part's relic to Radiant.
- Open them in the matching fissure with a full squad and pick the best of the four results.
- If the Prime is vaulted, wait for Prime Resurgence or buy the set for platinum at the table price.
- Build the parts, then the frame: 12 hours each part, 72 hours for the frame, or rush with platinum.
How the Prime cycle works
- Prime Access brings a new Prime Warframe with two Prime weapons and accessories; its relics enter the drop tables that day.
- About two years later the frame is vaulted: its relics leave the drop tables, and existing relics still open.
- Prime Resurgence rotates vaulted frames back through Varzia for Aya (relics) and Regal Aya (the built frame and accessories).
- Prices follow the cycle: they fall while a Prime drops, climb while it is vaulted, and dip again the week Varzia lists it.
Tips that save runs
- Buy vaulted sets right before their Resurgence rotation ends, not the day it starts.
- Sort your relic inventory by the finder; you probably already own half of a vaulted set.
- Excalibur Prime never comes back; Excalibur Umbra is the closest thing.
Mistakes that waste runs
- Farming a vaulted Prime's relics from mission drop tables; they are not there.
- Paying set prices for a Prime that is dropping right now.
