Once you’re at the stage of farming Prime weapons and frames in Warframe, grinding for the supplies you need can get grossly time-consuming. Not only do you need to trust in the RNG of getting Prime parts (unless you purchase them from another player), but you also need to farm up many materials to make said Prime item.
Nearly every Prime item in the game needs Orokin Cells to be crafted, so farming these as quickly as possible can help a lot. Here’s how to farm Orokin Cells in Warframe.
Where to get Orokin Cells in Warframe
Orokin Cells are found on Saturn, Ceres, and Deimos as a possible drop from most Grineer or Infested enemies, albeit with a low chance. Orokin Cells can also drop from any boss in the game, though the rate of this can vary. With all this in mind, missions where you kill many enemies or deal with bosses quickly can be a great source of Orokin Cells. A personal favorite farming spot of mine is Piscinas on the planet Saturn, since it offers Infested enemies in droves and has plenty of rooms for you and your squad to sit in.
If farming a boss is more your speed, the easiest way is to farm the Captain Vor and Lieutenant Lech Kril dual boss fight on the node Exta on Ceres. Both Vor and Lech Kril are easy to kill once you understand their mechanics, and no other fight in the game has you fighting two different bosses in the same mission. I tend to average about one Orokin Cell per run doing it this way.
How to speed up Orokin Cell farming
If you’re feeling extra desperate, then there are ways to speed things up further. If you’re in a full squad, running a Nekros, Nova (with Speedva build), Khora, and Wisp on Piscinas can net you a lot of kills quickly, thus giving more Orokin Cells. If you’re running it solo, then you should play either Khora or Nekros. Otherwise, running Steel Path and having a Resource Booster + Drop Chance Booster can give far more Orokin Cells.
