Mesa Prime, Queen Gunslinger
Update (4/2/19): Mesa Prime Access has ended. We have a new guide on farming relics for Equinox Prime (the new Prime Access). This page may become obsolete and will not be updated. We recommend using the Wiki to identify the locations of existing Relics that provide Mesa Prime parts. You can still use the tables below to get an idea of what the fastest methods are for obtaining relics.
Mesa Prime Access is finally here! Mesa is one of the best Warframes in the game, easily earning the title of “S-Tier.” She can deal heavy damage, buff her squad, protect herself and crowd control enemies. What else could you ask for? If you’re looking to hunt down this legendary Warframe along with the Akjagara Prime and Redeemer Prime, look no further. We have provided tables below that show which relics you need and the best places to farm them.

Our Favorite Farming Spots
Tier 1 (Hepit) and Tier 3 (Ukko) Void Capture missions are by far the best methods of farming Lith, Meso and Neo relics. You can complete them in under 2 minutes consistently and farm over 30 relics an hour with a good chance of getting several Mesa Prime relics. You can also consider Exterminate if you have a solid build for Equinox / Saryn that can run through the map quickly, but it is less consistent than Capture.
For Axi relics, we recommend doing Hieracon on Pluto since it’s faster than other methods and has decent rewards including Endo and Neo relics. This is a popular node on the Star Chart so you can easily join a squad and grind as long as you please. We suggest bringing a Stasis Limbo with max duration and slightly positive range. Max duration lets your Cataclysm last long enough to protect Excavator the whole time it’s powered. The slight amount of range is necessary as Mutalist Osprey power carriers are capable of damaging the Excavator through Cataclysm if they get close enough.
If you are in no rush to farm Relics, you can obtain Meso and Neo relics through Helene and Hydron respectively. These are popular areas to level gear so if you are looking to increase your Mastery or Forma some gear, consider these Defense missions so you can also get relics at the same time. We hope this quick guide and tables helped you with farming Mesa Prime. Once you have her, make sure to check out our Mesa Prime build guide so you can get the most out of your new Warframe. Good luck with those relics!

10 Feb 2019Sorry but Ukko is TERRIBLE for Neo Relics, you only get Meso there sure you can do it solo but it’s super rare meanwhile Xini will give you 2x neo Relics in the first two rounds almost 100% of the time so people are right. Xini is way way WAY better then what you have listed.
Lith M3
2 Feb 2019Lith M3 is pain on hepit XD LOL zer0 relics

1 Jan 2019Are the lith m3 relics still dropping from Hepit?
I’ve been running it for a few days now without a single drop.
Managed to get it to drop the day Mesa Prime was released and not a single one since.

20 Jun 2019Lith M4 drops the Mesa Prime Neuroptics too. And that is a common drop

29 Dec 2018Just got an Axi H4 on rotation B Hydron, might need to update your table.
Frame Mastery
29 Dec 2018I understand it’s a bit odd, but the table already reflects that you can get it into Rotation B as well. The assumption is if you go to Rotation C, it provides you the accumulated chance of getting Axi H4 relic. If you’re going to go past Wave 10 (which few people do in Public Matchmaking), then it’s best to go to Wave 20 since Rotation C has a 9.68% drop rate while Rotation B only has a 6.25% drop rate.

20 Dec 2018“Queen of DPS”
What a joke… She might be one of the best, but she is nowhere close to Queen Saryn; The Toxic Hyacinth; The Flower of Many Names. Your “queen” is my lifeless mannequin. Your queen will rot long before she can begin to hold a candle to The Poison Kiss.
Should have called her “Queen of Guns”.
That’d be accurate.
Frame Mastery
20 Dec 2018Look you’re gonna have to cut us some slack – we weren’t being creative when making this post. Let’s say… Queen Gunslinger. Because like you, we are people of fine taste that enjoy the luxuries of Saryn wiping entire maps. Although we’d still take Mesa over Saryn once you get into insanely high levels…

Frostsoul7755
19 Dec 2018Try Mars Arval Grineer spy mission just get A or C done BUT do not fail B coz thats the vault hack that drops the Lith B6 or Lith M3
Whimp-Lo
19 Dec 2018Neo Relics: Void – Ukko or Sedna – Hydron (A rotation)
Axi Relics: Pluto – Hieracon (C rotation) or Sedna – Hydron (C rotation)
Lith Relics: Void – Hepit
Void – Mot is also good
Capture is faster but I have had more luck with defense as hydron drops 3 of the 4 relics. Also don’t forget your syndicate relic packs.

18 Dec 2018Axi and Neo Relics are Best gotten on Xini, Eris
Meso Relics are Best gotten on Io, Jupiter
Lith Relics are most reliably earned in the Orokin Derelict Defense and Survival Missions.
Frame Mastery
18 Dec 2018Xini is great, but slightly slower than Hieracon (about 5 – 10%). Although it’s much more consistent so if you get a bad squad at Hieracon, Xini will be faster. Tier 2 Defense (Io, Jupiter) is great for leveling + Relics, plus Io in particular has tons of Oxium but it’s slower than Void Capture. Void Capture is also faster for obtaining Lith Relics, although they don’t provide much benefit other than relics.
riup
18 Dec 2018eeeh no…5 min rounds will never be faster than a 2 min capture.

18 Dec 20181 1/2 minute each run if you don’t get the change of plan to exterminate them.
Xadow
18 Dec 20181 min with Speed Volt
Zack
19 Dec 2018The fastest speed run I had with Volt, from the moment I launched the mission till the moment I pressed “repeat mission” was 1:35. And that was a perfect run with a good tileset, turning every corner correctly, not getting knocked down, etc. I’d say the average speed run over the course of an hour, which inevitably includes the occasional objective changing to exterminate, is closer to 2:30 or more per run. Still faster than 5:00, but certainly no where near 1 min.
tukib
24 Dec 2018With a 337% strength volt (2.68x speed multiplier) it is trivial to get a sub 1 minute time. Even less when you have a full squad with sprint boost.
This is what I use for capture runs: https://totally-not.a-sketchy.site/63ec3f.png
TRThorson
29 Dec 2018I think they meant in-game time. Obviously when you factor in loading time etc, time is closer to what you experienced. My best mission time so far is 52 sec, plus about 25 sec of loading/restarting.

19 Dec 2018Loki and sprint it almost as fast as speed volt
