All Kestrel Prime relics in Warframe and how to farm them

Kestrel Prime has been released in Warframe as part of The Old Peace Update, and the unique melee open can be yours by farming the correct relics.

You can immediately gain access to this melee by purchasing the latest Prime Access Weapons pack (or the Complete pack). However, that method involves spending real-life money. If you want to opt for the free-to-play route, your best bet is relics.

This guide will help you figure out the exact relics that have to be farmed to gain the parts of the Kestrel Prime.

How to obtain all Kestrel Prime relics in Warframe

The Kestrel Prime has the following parts that you’ll have to craft in the Foundry.

• Kestrel Prime Blueprint
• Kestrel Prime Blade
• Kestrel Prime Grip

Here are all the relics that you need to farm.

• Kestrel Prime Blueprint: Meso P17 (Uncommon)
• Kestrel Prime Blade: Lith D7 (Common)
• Kestrel Prime Grip: Neo K9 (Rare)

Compared to Alternox Prime, the Kestrel Prime has fewer parts to find. However, getting the Grip can be quite expensive as it’s a Rare component that you can obtain from the Neo K9 relic.

Here’s a quick rundown of how you can farm all the relics required for making the Kestrel Prime from scratch.

• Meso and Neo Relics: The best spot for finding these Relics is the Ukko node in the Void. You’ll find a capture mission, which is pretty easy to complete. The map is short, the enemies are pretty weak, and you can finish a complete run in less than a minute with frames like Titania. Every complete run has a 50% chance to drop a Meso Relic, and 50% for it to be a Neo. Other nodes remove this randomness, but Ukko is where you should farm.
• Lith Relics: My favorite spot is the Olympus node on Mars, which guarantees a Lith relic on every rotation. You should farm this spot repeatedly if you’re also looking to farm Gyre Prime pieces.

You can also obtain these relics from Relic Packs. You can trade for unlimited Relic Packs from various traders based on your Syndicate standings. You can also exchange Steel Essences from Teshin to get more Relic Packs. This method is completely random since there’s no guarantee of what relic you’ll obtain from the packs.

Ashes of Creation has a pretty extensive class system that determines how you play the game and clear different content, and it will largely depend on whether you’re engaging in PvP or clearing all the content solo.

The early access version is available on Steam and offers eight classes for you to try out. All eight classes have their own unique playstyles, strengths, and weaknesses. However, the best choice will vary based on whether you’re going for solo play or PvP.

I will list down what I believe to be the two best choices for both modes.

Best Ashes of Creation classes for Solo

Solo play in Ashes of Creation is slightly tricky in my experience. While all eight classes can work well in the correct hands, there are two of them that just work very well for me.

• Cleric: Much of your problems disappear if you don’t die at all. The Cleric’s kit makes it very hard for you to die if you’re using the abilities well. Both Divine Flare and Deliverance provide massive heals, allowing you to survive the deadliest of attacks. Smite and Juggernaut add enough damage potential for you to damage enemies at will. This is arguably the safest choice you can make if you’re playing Solo.
• Summoner: The reason is quite simple. You play on your own, but you’re never alone. Most of the work will be done by your summons, aka pets. They will tank, do damage, and even heal based on what you’re summoning. You can serve every role possible with the Summoner class, which makes it a decent choice.

Best Ashes of Creation classes for PvP

Compared to solo play, you’ll have to be more strict with your class choices if you want to stick with the meta. Here are my top two choices when you’re facing other players.

• Fighter: The good old Fighter class is an excellent choice for PvP. Its biggest strength is excelling in close-range combat. It will be immensely beneficial if you can close down on enemy players before putting them down. The Fighter can also heal itself with the help of Blood Fusion. The kit also offers a stance-swapping feature, allowing you to change things up based on the situation of a battle.
• Cleric: No surprise that what I consider to be the best class in Ashes of Creation is amazing in PvP. If you’re fighting in a team, the importance of heals rises further. In PvP, you’ll want to use the Cleric in a sustained role, and your job will be to keep the team alive (unlike Solo, where you’ll also have to do damage).
