Warframe Jade Acquisition: Farming Tips & Parts Guide

<p>The Jade Warframe is an exceptional hybrid-spec addition introduced in the Jade Shadows update. If you’re interested in acquiring it, this guide has all the essential information you need.

Jade caters to players who prefer versatility instead of extreme specialization. It combines ally support, healing abilities, and high-impact damage seamlessly for a well-rounded gameplay experience.

This Warframe stands out as an excellent choice for endgame players and fits well in group compositions across various activities. As the anticipated Warframe 1999 update approaches later this year, Jade is a prime candidate for the next stage of gameplay.

Ways to Obtain Jade

The Jade Warframe — Digital Extremes/dexerto

You can acquire Jade directly from the in-game marketplace for 325 Platinum.

For those who prefer earning it through gameplay, you’ll need to complete the Jade Shadows questline, which is a one-time mission yielding a guaranteed reward from Hunhow at the story’s conclusion.

Newer players should note that completing The New War campaign is a prerequisite for unlocking the Jade Shadows quest, so some effort will be required to reach this point.

The Jade Shadows campaign comprises nine missions:

The Lair
Anything But That
Mistreatment
To Catch A Tenno
The Ancestor
The Impossible
Escape
Past and Future
Unfinished Business

Finishing this quest grants you the blueprint for Jade and also unlocks the Ascension game mode on Uranus, which is essential for farming the necessary component blueprints thereafter.

Farming for Jade

The Jade Blueprint cost in Warframe — Digital Extremes/dexerto

To secure the components, you’ll need to gather 3x Orokin Cells and farm in the Ascension activity, where each item has a 5% drop rate. Upon acquiring the three blueprints, here are the resources you’ll need for crafting the respective parts:

Component Name	Resources Needed
Jade Chassis	15000 Credits, 600 Alloy Plate, 6 Morphics, 4000 Nano Spores, 1500 Plastids
Jade Systems	15000 Credits, 10 Control Module, 600 Ferrite, 600 Plastids, 1100 Rubedo
Jade Neuroptics	15000 Credits, 750 Bundle, 1000 Circuits, 3 Neural Sensors, 4 Neurodes

The low drop rates may delay your ability to gather all component blueprints, so be prepared for extensive gameplay in Ascension if you opt for this method.

Acquiring Jade Parts

You can also purchase missing parts from a specific vendor. Go to the Larunda Relay on Mercury, walk through to the main lobby, then take the elevator on your left down to the lower level. Proceed through the door on the opposite side to enter Mission Control, where you’ll find Ordis.

Ordis offers all component blueprints and Jade’s main blueprint for Vestigial Motes. Each Ascension run nets you 8-12 of these currencies, and you’ll need a substantial amount to complete your set. Here are the costs to keep in mind:

Jade Blueprint: 450 Vestigial Motes
Jade Chassis Blueprint: 150 Vestigial Motes
Jade Neuroptics Blueprint: 150 Vestigial Motes
Jade Systems Blueprint: 150 Vestigial Motes
