Protea Prime Relics (2026): Where to Farm Every Part
Last Updated on September 18, 2026
Protea Prime needs 4 relics: Lith W4 for the Blueprint (Common slot), Meso P17 for the Chassis (Rare slot), Lith D7 for the Neuroptics (Uncommon slot), Lith P9 for the Systems (Rare slot). None of them are in the drop tables right now, so the set is vaulted: open relics you already own, watch Prime Resurgence for Varzia’s Aya offer, or buy the parts for platinum.
Relic tables from DE's Public Export; drop locations and vault state from the live drop tables, checked 2026-09-17.
| Part | Relic | Slot | Intact / Radiant | Best place to farm it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Blueprint | Lith W4 (also Meso K7, Meso V10, Meso V14) | Common | 25.3% / 16.7% | not dropping right now |
| Chassis | Meso P17 (also Neo P7, Axi P7, Axi P8) | Rare | 2% / 10% | not dropping right now |
| Neuroptics | Lith D7 (also Lith O4, Meso T8, Neo D9) | Uncommon | 11% / 20% | not dropping right now |
| Systems | Lith P9 (also Meso P15, Meso P16, Neo P9) | Rare | 2% / 10% | not dropping right now |

What Protea Prime is made of
The frame needs a blueprint and 3 components, 4 relic drops in total. The Rare slot is the bottleneck: farm that relic first.
Where each relic drops
None of these relics are in a mission drop table right now: Lith W4, Meso K7, Meso V10, Meso V14, Meso W4, Neo C6, Axi N13, Axi V13, Meso P17, Neo P7, Axi P7, Axi P8, Lith D7, Lith O4, Meso T8, Neo D9, Neo P6, Axi S16, Axi T12, Lith P9, Meso P15, Meso P16, Neo P9, Axi P9. Any of them still opens in a fissure of its era if you own one, the parts trade on warframe.market, and Prime Resurgence brings vaulted relics back for Aya.
How to get a vaulted set
- Check Prime Resurgence: when Varzia lists this set, the relics cost Aya and the whole set costs Regal Aya.
- Search your relic inventory (Esc, Void Relic Refinement) for the relics above; old relics still open in any fissure of their era.
- Trade: the built parts sell on warframe.market, and the price check shows what a full set goes for.
- Build once you have everything: 12 hours per component, then 72 hours for the frame.
