How to farm Tellurium in Warframe

Crafting the mightiest weapons in Warframe often requires rare materials, and Tellurium is no exception. This rare, radioactive rock is crucial for building some of the game‘s most formidable gear. Here’s how to quickly farm Tellurium in Warframe.

Recent changes have made acquiring Tellurium more challenging in Warframe, pushing players to revisit traditional farming methods. 

Getting Tellurium can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. The nerf to the Spare Parts farming method has left many Tenno scratching their heads, wondering where to turn next. 

Let’s explore the most effective ways to get Tellurium in Warframe.

Neptune and Uranus are the primary locations for Tellurium farming in Warframe.

How to Get Tellurium in Warframe

Among the many locations to farm Tellurium, Uranus emerges as the premier destination. This planet is uniquely equipped for Tellurium farming, offering a mix of Archwing and land-based missions where Tellurium has a chance to drop. The combination of space and underwater missions on Uranus enhances your likelihood of finding this rare resource.

Uranus’s Ophelia is the standout mission for Tellurium farming. The Grineer Sealab tileset, filled with submersible areas, is ripe with enemies that may drop Tellurium. Though Salacia on Neptune provides an Archwing mission alternative, the pace of Tellurium acquisition may be slower. 

For those venturing into Fortuna/Orb Vallis Bounties or Orphix Missions in Proxima, be prepared; these options exist but depend heavily on fortune.

To make your Tellurium hunt more successful, consider these strategies:

• Nekros or Hydroid: Bringing along Nekros enhances loot drops from enemies, thanks to his Desecrate ability. Similarly, Hydroid, with the Pilfering Swarm augment, increases loot drops with his tentacle attacks.
• Resource Boosters are effective for Tellurium farming, doubling your loot haul.
• Engaging in Steel Path missions might be more challenging, but the increased difficulty leads to better drop rates.
• Farming with a squad amplifies your chances, especially with multiple Nekros or Hydroids in play, significantly boosting loot drops.

Following these recommendations should help accumulate Tellurium more swiftly, propelling you closer to crafting the powerful equipment.
