- Ukko, Void Capture Farming
warframe added a new resource called Aya with the Prime Resurgence program. All wells of vaulted relics have been replaced by this rare well. Vaulted Relics can now be purchased from Dax Varzia, a seller in Maroo’s Bazaar. All the Vaulted Relics can be purchased for Aya, allowing you to target whatever Vaulted Prime items you want.
Of course, a new source means a new grind. Aya’s drop rates are a bit low and this resource only drops in amounts of one. Fortunately, there are a few activities you can engage in that have a much better chance of gifting Aya. This guide covers some of Warframe’s best Aya farms so you can get the relics you care about much faster.
Updated September 14, 2022 by Charles Burgar: Prime Resurgence is back and here to stay. In addition to the return of Aya herself, Digital Extremes has updated the drop rates for a few activities, and Aya is now dropping off Zariman bounties. We’ve updated this guide with up-to-date drop rates for all strategies, and we’ve added a strategy for growing Aya from Zariman bounties.
All drop rates were obtained from Warframe PC Drops, a website hosted by Digital Extremes.
T5 Deimos bounties
| Level 40 – 60 Cambion Drift Bounty | |
|---|---|
| Aya Yield: Average (~5/h) | |
| Phase 1 | Doesn’t lose weight (0%) |
| Phase 2, Phase 3 of 4 and Phase 3 of 5 | Sometimes (28.57%) |
| Stage 4 of 5 | Uncommon (22.22%) |
| Final stage | Often (43.48%) |
If you manage to collect the level 40-60 Deimos bounties on the Cambion Drift, we highly recommend that you grow your Aya during this activity. Deimos bounties are fairly easy, don’t take much time, and your chances of getting an Aya drop are decent. The other open worlds are also solid options, as we’ll discuss later in this guide, but Deimos is the smallest open world of the bunch and has fewer buggy bounties. You’ll also get a ton of Entrati reputation and a solid chunk of Endo with this farm – perfect if you want to unlock the Helminth system.
In terms of raw Aya per hour, Deimos is slightly above average and requires very little input from you. Most of these bounties don’t require much effort from a skilled player to complete, allowing you to multitask or casually complete this farm. This is quite a popular Aya farm, so getting a team of four players together through public matchmaking shouldn’t be a big question.
If you really care about min-maxing, here are some Warframe recommendations:
- mesa: Deals a massive amount of damage when properly modified and can stun near Infested with Shooting Gallery.
- grove: Polishing up your squad with fire rate, HP, and even a damage buffer via Helminth can make this mission much easier if you’re a newer player.
- Octavia: If you want a quiet farming experience, Octavia’s Mallets will take care of most of the Deimos enemies for you. Let the beats flow to increase your kill count.
- voidrig: OK, this isn’t Warframe, but the Necramechs hit like a truck and are much easier now. Deploy your mech, activate your fourth ability and watch everything die.
If you’re struggling to complete the bonus goal against Garv and his Grineer crew, bring a Warframe with Banish. Banished Grinner cannot kill the Infested, making the bonus target a guarantee.

T5 Fortuna bounties
| Level 40 – 60 Orb Vallis Bounty | |
|---|---|
| Aya Yield: Average (~4-5/hr) | |
| Phase 1 | Doesn’t lose weight (0%) |
| Phase 2, Phase 3 of 4 and Phase 3 of 5 | Sometimes (25.00%) |
| Stage 4 of 5 | Uncommon (21.43%) |
| Final stage | Often (50.0%) |
Fortuna bounties are another good source of Aya, albeit not as good as Deimos bounties due to the size of the Orb Vallis. You will either want to earn T5 bounties here; T1, T2, and T4 have a faint Aya drop percentage. Your goal is to fully complete each bounty and bonus objective. A clear run gives you an extra chance of achieving an Aya. T3 runs are slightly shorter than T5 runs, although T5 bounties have a double Aya drop chance (the final target has a drop chance of 50% instead of 25%). If you own an Archwing or fast Warframe like Volt, give this farm a try. For newer players, it may be better to use a different farming method.

T5 Cetus premiums
| Level 40 – 60 Ghoul Bounty | |
|---|---|
| Aya Yield: Average (~4-5/hr) | |
| Phase 1 | Doesn’t lose weight (0%) |
| Phase 2, Phase 3 of 4 and Phase 3 of 5 | Uncommon (33.04%) |
| Stage 4 of 5 | Uncommon (25.68%) |
| Final stage | Common (38.76%) |
The Plains of Eidolon saw some drop-rate buffs with the return of Prime Resurgence. While the first phase cannot drop an Aya, the other phases have an unusual chance of dropping one Aya. Since Cetus bounties are quite easy to complete, this is a solid alternative to growing Deimos or Fortuna. Most of the bounties on the plains are fairly straightforward, although they are usually timed. If you want to make some bounties easier, consider bringing the following:
- New: She can teleport drones and VIP targets for some bounties.
- grove: Accelerates certain NPC related objectives.
- mesa: Makes the kill targets much faster.
Why would Farm Ghoul not purge Cetus bounties?
Ghoul Purge bounties no longer drop Aya during the first phase, so they are no longer worth running. Only the last two stages can drop Aya and their failure rates are about 15% for both stages. You’d better grow normal Cetus bounties or some other open world.

Ukko, Void Capture Farming
| Void/Ukko (Capture) | |
|---|---|
| Aya Yield: Average (~5/h) | |
| Completion | Rare (6.77%) |
Capture speedrunning saw a nerf from the original Prime Resurgence event (about 20% drop rate nerf), but it’s still a fantastic farm if you want a relaxed farm. You play Titania, Volt or Wisp as you try to complete the Capture mission in less than a minute. We recommend Titania for this, but feel free to use any quick Warframe in your arsenal.
The aim is to reach the target, catch them and immediately clear your way to evacuate. Each mistake by Ukko has a 6.77% chance of dropping one Aya. That sounds low, but you can cut your Capture runs down to just under a minute with a good build. With up to 50+ odds of Aya per hour, this is a decent farm if you’re a solo player who can’t stand open world bounty farming.

Zariman premiums
| Zariman premiums | |
|---|---|
| Aya Yield: Varies (~3-5/h) | |
| Level 50-55 Bounty | Rare (8.70%) |
| Level 60-65 Bounty | Rare (8.47%) |
| Level 70-75 Bounty | Rare (8.73%) |
| Level 90-95 Bounty | Sometimes (12.34%) |
| Level 110-115 Bounty | Sometimes (12.34%) |
Zariman’s bounties are renewed every two and a half hours. Check back regularly.
Zariman bounties have a slim chance of dropping Aya in all but the last two levels. Unfortunately, the Zariman’s premium requirements can vary drastically. Watch out for T4/T5 bounties that are Exterminate missions with a simple goal. Some easy goals are:
- Complete the mission in less than six minutes.
- Defeat X enemies.
- Find and activate X Lohk Surges.
These bounties can be quite heavy due to the high enemy level, so be prepared. Extermination missions can be worked on quickly with a good AoE weapon with an ammunition mutation mod and a fast-running Warframe, e.g. Volt or Wisp. You can also try Titania with Thermal Sunder, although we only recommend this for lower bounty levels. Complete the missions and you have a small chance of getting Aya after each completion. It is slightly slower than a Capture farm, although it is possible to get more Aya per hour with this method if you can get Exterminate runs of two or three minutes. You need a min-maxed build or team to make that happen.

Passive Sources of Aya
We’ve rounded up the best farming resources for Aya for the Prime Resurgence event, but here are a few passive Aya resources we’d like to mention:
- Relic Packs
- Login Rewards
Relic Packs
It appears that vaulted relics obtained from relic packs have been replaced with one Aya. When you buy a Relic Pack, there is a pretty slim chance that you will receive one Aya instead of a Relic. Hypothetically, it is possible to receive up to three Ayas from a single Relic Pack, although the chances of this happening are slim.
You can obtain Relic Packs from:
- syndicates
- Steel Essence (steel path)
- Market (20 platinum each)
- We do not recommend purchasing Relic Packs for Platinum.
Both Syndicates and Steel Path have daily missions that award Standing and Steel Essence respectively. If you’re a casual player or a veteran looking for an alternative to open world crafting, completing your Syndicate and Steel Path diaries is a good resource from Aya.

Login Rewards
Reddit user u/MaKTaiL discovered that Aya is a potential login reward. It can appear during any login reward day. As with rare resources, the amount of Aya you receive from your login reward is determined by how long you play Warframe. The game uses the following formula to determine how much Aya you get:
It is unknown if Aya is a common, uncommon or rare login reward.
