How do you farm Nitain Extract in Warframe? Nitain Extract is a rare resource that often turns out to be the limiting factor in crafting various Warframe components. You only get it from a few limited avenues, and even then, it is impossible to amass enough of it to never run out (looking at you, Aura Forma!).
So, if you are strapped for Nitain Extract in Warframe, here’s how you efficiently obtain this scarce resource.
How to Farm Nitain Extract in Warframe
Nightwave Cred Offerings
The most straightforward way to get your hands on Nitain Extract is Warframe’s Nightwave Cred Offerings. Among other items and resources, Nitain Extract is always available to purchase here, granted you have enough Nightwave Creds to spare. You can purchase 5x Nitain Extract with 15 Nightwave Creds.
You can gain these Creds throughout the Nightwave reward track by completing various daily and weekly challenges. If you are wondering what happens after reaching rank 30 in the reward track, fret not! You’ll continue obtaining prestige ranks, with each prestige rank-up awarding 15 Creds.
However, I’ll recommend also spending some of those hard-earned currencies on Orokin Reactors and Catalysts. As I have mentioned earlier, Nitain Extract in Warframe is an evergreen offering that you can always buy from the Nightwave Cred store. So, there’s no need to hoard them when you can buy potatoes instead, which will power up your Warframes, companions, and weapons.
Ghoul Purge Bounties
Ghoul Purge bounties are given out by Konzu in Cetus during the recurring Ghoul Purge event. Both Tier 1 and 2 bounties have Nitain Extract as one of the rewards for the last rotation – Stage 4. It has only a 4.72% chance of dropping, so I’d suggest only running them if you are after the other Ghoul Purge event-specific rewards. If you are solely looking for Nitain Extracts, this RNG isn’t worth it.
Other Sources
You can technically get Nitain Extract in Warframe from the following sources, however, given the abysmally low drop chance (thanks Warframe wiki), I’d suggest not wasting time on them.
- 0.67-2% (planet-dependent) drop chance in Resource Cache Rotation C reward (i.e. finding all three caches) in Reactor Sabotage and Exterminate.
- 0.129% drop chance by the Zealoid Prelate.
- 0.129% drop chance by the Wolf of Saturn Six.
