How to farm Aya in Warframe

When it comes to most resources in Warframe, it’s a straightforward deal. You get the resources you need, then use them to craft what you want. However, not all resources are so simple. Some contribute toward things that could lead you to craft what you want. One such resource is integral for the Prime gear-grinding loop of the mid-late game. Here’s how to farm Aya in Warframe.

Where to farm Aya in Warframe

Aya is earned through either completing Bounty stages or through Void missions. Void missions are arguably the worst of the two options since these can take longer and give fewer chances at Aya. Instead, you should focus on Bounties across Cetus, Fortuna, the Necralisk, and the Sanctum Anatomica. Each Bounty has a chance to include Aya, so you may need to check a few vendors before a Bounty has Aya as a possible reward.

When choosing a good Bounty, you should select the lowest level Bounty that includes Aya as a possible reward. All Aya rewards from Bounties give one Aya, so there’s no benefit to completing higher-level Bounties unless you want another reward. Once you have one in mind, simply farm it endlessly until you have as much Aya as you want.

What is Aya used for?

Aya is used at Varzia’s shop in Maroo’s Bazaar (found on Mars) to purchase Void Relics. These Relics are different from the usual ones you get as mission rewards since they contain the Prime parts of frames, weapons, and other gear that have been temporarily unvaulted.

For example, the previous Prime Resurgence event saw Inaros Prime, Ash Prime, Carrier Prime, along with various weapons and cosmetics become part of these Void Relics. You should get as many of these Relics as you can and open them since there’s no telling when they will return.
