How to Farm Scintillant in Warframe

Get back on the grind

Despite being a rare resource, Scintillant is a must have resource for players of Warframe. Used in the crafting of mech and frame parts, as well as weapons, Scintillant is needed for all of these. To make matters worse, this material can not be bought in stores, so players can’t buy their way out of this problem. To craft most of the items requiring Scintillant, players need about thirty of this resource. Being hard to find, this is a tall order for players. Luckily, there are a few methods to farming this material. And with the right frame mods, it’ll be impossible to miss drops in the map. All it takes is just a bit of patience on the player’s end.

Finding Scintillant in Warframe

To get started on the most optimized way of farming Scintillant, players need to travel to Mother, who can be found on Deimos. Once inside the Necralisk Enclave, acquire bounties from Mother. From there on it’s a matter of completing the bounties, then reaping the rewards. Scintillant has a chance to be dropped from these bounties among other materials. It’s important to note that different bounties have different chances for Scintillant. While tier one bounties have a small chance to drop the material, tier two bounties have a much greater chance of granting Scintillant.

From there it’s simply rinse and repeat: get bounty, complete bounty, and hope for a Scintillant to drop. Though when players are able to, be sure to get bounties that can be completed in Isolation Vaults. Not only can Necramechs have a small chance of dropping Scintillant, but it can also be found naturally in the area. This is why mods such as Loot Detector, Thief’s Wit, and Animal Instinct are vital. They make it easier for the player to find, locate, and collect any Scintillant that may be there and possibly respawns.


This quick and concise way of farming Scintillant should hopefully help players out.
