To make Warframes, weapons, and other items, Orokin Cells are necessary components only found on a limited number of planets. It is crucial to have enough Orokin Cells, so we have created a guide that lists the best locations to farm them from the available planets.

What you will need to get Orokin Cell

To farm Orokin Cells, you should visit planets where they are dropped during missions. You can defeat enemies in these missions or focus on specific bosses with Orokin Cells in their drop tables. The fastest methods to farm Orokin Cells are to beat General Sargus Ruk on Saturn or finish missions on Ceres, like Gabii or Seimeni.

If you want to obtain Orokin Cells by farming, concentrate on Ceres, Saturn, and Derelict planets. Among these planets, Ceres is the easiest one to access initially, and then you can move to Saturn to fight against General Sargus Ruk, where you can get more chances of obtaining Orokin Cells.

If you prefer, you can continue farming on Ceres. Although Orokin Cells can be obtained on Derelict, it could be more popular among players as it has simpler missions than Ceres and Saturn.

Orokin Cells can be purchased:

Tethys (Saturn)

Tethys is a mission on Saturn where players can complete an assassination objective by targeting General Sargas Ruk. Players commonly use this mission to farm Orokin Cells, which have a high drop rate when the General is defeated. Many experienced players consider Tethys the best location for Orokin Cell farm.

Besides, you may come across Orokin Cell Arrays that contain Orokin Cells, making it an efficient farming method for players who can complete the mission quickly. Remember, General Sargus Ruk is an excellent choice to obtain Orokin Cells since he always drops them with a 100% probability rate.

Gabii (Ceres)

If you want alternatives to farming Sargus Ruk in Warframe, visit Gabii on Ceres. This location can be a good choice for Orokin Cell farm, particularly if your Warframe has abilities that can increase your chances of getting loot drops.

Although the Orokin Cell drop rate is lower than other resources, you may still get some drops while farming in this area. For those looking to obtain Orokin Cells early on in Warframe, a good strategy is to concentrate on Ceres.

This planet follows directly after Mars and is easily accessible in the beginning. Gabii, a Dark Sector mission on Ceres, has a higher rate of Orokin Cell drops than other missions on the planet.

Seimeni (Ceres)

Seimeni is a defense mission in Dark Sector located on Ceres. Despite being a challenging mission, it’s a good place to obtain Orokin Cells. The Infested will relentlessly attack the defense target, providing ample opportunities to defeat them and obtain Orokin Cells.

A helpful tip for obtaining Orokin Cells is to use a resource farming Warframe like Nekros to increase the chances of getting the component. Although it may not be the quickest method, it can serve as an alternative Orokin Cell farming option for beginners and provides players with Credits.

Titan (Saturn)

When you farm Orokin Cells on Titan, you must fight against Grineer forces. While exploring the map, you may come across Cell Arrays. However, staying for a short time is recommended, as the Grineer will become increasingly armored. You can still collect a few Orokin Cell drops before leaving.

Early in the game, the Grineer are relatively easy to defeat, and taking advantage of this and defeating as many as possible before they can swarm you is recommended. Additionally, it’s a good strategy to explore the map for a while, and this may lead you to find Cell Arrays which can drop Orokin Cells.

Orokin Derelict Survival (Derelict)

While there are more efficient options for farming Orokin Cells, acquiring them in the Orokin Derelict is still possible. This location also provides Nano Spores, Neurods, and Mutagen Mass during missions.

Farming the survival mission in Derelict is a good idea because many enemies will spawn, and you can leave whenever you want after the first rotation. There may be a more reasonable way to get Orokin Cells, but it’s still a viable method, especially considering the other resources you can acquire.

Orokin Cell farm tips

1. Orokin Cells can be obtained by farming them in small quantities on Saturn and Ceres. You can choose the mission that suits you best.
2. As many blueprints require Orokin Cells, farming them from time to time is recommended, especially when you have boosters.
3. Although Orokin Cells can be purchased in the market for Platinum, it is not recommended since they can be obtained easily through farming.
4. It’s more efficient to farm on missions like Gabii and Seimeni with a squad to increase the number of enemy spawns.

Saturn is the preferred planet due to the abundance of Cell Arrays that can be found between missions and the Tethys mission. If you cannot farm General Sargas Ruk, you can try going to Gabii or Seimeni on Ceres, as these missions offer a good chance to get Orokin Cells.

If you’re looking for other variants to Orokin Cell farm, it’s worth noting that the Derelict doesn’t have any Dark Sector missions. While the Derelict has Orokin Cells in its drop list, it’s only recommended to farm there if you also need other resources from that planet.

For the best Orokin Cell farming, either repeatedly kill General Sargus Ruk on Saturn or farm Gabii on Ceres. You can buy an Orokin Cell blueprint from the market for Platinum, but it’s not recommended since Orokin Cells can be farmed easily.
