Where to Farm Tellurium in Warframe

You won't need to tell(urium) where to find any more of this material.

If you’re looking to either increase your Mastery or upgrade and craft new weapons in Warframe, you’ll need plenty of Tellurium. This article will outline where you can find it and the best places to farm for it.

Best Tellurium Farms in Warframe

If you’re hoping to get plenty of Tellurium quickly, I would recommend running either Ophelia or Caelus on Uranus, or Salacia on Neptune. These three missions have the highest chance of dropping the material, and Steel Path Ophelia with the proper Lootframe can quickly bring this farming session to a close.

If you’re just looking to get in and out with as much Tellurium as possible, run Steel Path Ophelia until your fingers bleed. It’s the fastest way to unlock as much as you could ever need, and while the mission may be difficult to complete even with a full squad, you’ll learn the ins and outs quickly to become a farming master.

Tellurium can also be received by partaking in Conclave challenges or purchased for 10 Platinum a piece. If you’re willing to spend real-world cash, this is the easiest way to obtain more of this precious material.

Which Frame Should You Use To Farm For Tellurium

I would strongly recommend using Nekros for missions where you’re farming Tellurium. Out of all of the Lootframes, Nekros is one of, if not the absolute best that you can use for such missions.

If you’ve gotten the Ore Gaze upgrade, obtaining more of this material in Warframe is going to be a piece of cake. With petrified foes having the chance to drop even more loot, you’ll find that getting your hands on the materials you need is going to be cinch. There is a 25% chance to drop extra loot at Rank 3, so use your Endo wisely and upgrade this augment before heading out.
