Shade Prime Relics (2026): Where to Farm Every Part
Last Updated on September 18, 2026
Shade Prime needs 4 relics: Meso B9 for the Blueprint (Uncommon slot), Lith S15 for the Carapace (Rare slot), Lith C12 for the Cerebrum (Common slot), Lith A6 for the Systems (Uncommon 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 |

| Carapace | Lith S15 (also Neo S18, Axi S16, Axi S19) | Rare | 2% / 10% | not dropping right now |
| Cerebrum | Lith C12 (also Lith F3, Lith M9, Meso W5) | Common | 25.3% / 16.7% | not dropping right now |

What Shade Prime is made of
The item needs a blueprint and 3 components, 4 relic drops in total. The Rare slot is the bottleneck: farm that relic first.
Shade PrimePrime setWhere each relic drops
None of these relics are in a mission drop table right now: Meso B9, Meso N14, Neo Z11, Axi A17, Axi H8, Axi W3, Axi W4, Lith S15, Neo S18, Axi S16, Axi S19, Lith C12, Lith F3, Lith M9, Meso W5, Neo F2, Neo N22, Neo W1, Axi G11, Lith A6, Lith L6, Lith X1, Meso F5, Meso P14, Axi B6. 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 for the item once you hold the blueprint and every part.
