There are various ways you can obtain the Jade Warframe, including its own 'pity system' if you get unlucky with the RNG. Since Jade is the titular Warframe of the Jade Shadows update, it makes sense that getting her parts is tied to Ascension, the new game mode.

Jade can be purchased from the Market for Platinum, the premium currency - but there is no need to use up your resources for this. In this guide, we will go over all the normal ways you can get Jade, the new Warframe.

All the ways to get Jade in Warframe

To get the Jade Warframe, you must complete the Jade Shadows quest first. This will reward you with the main blueprint. However, you cannot get additional copies of Jade Blueprint by repeating the quest. As for Jade's Warframe components, you have two ways to get them:

Jade's component blueprints have a 5% chance each to drop at the end of Ascension mission on Brutus, Uranus.
You can purchase the component bleuprints from Ordis in Larunda Relay, Mercury. These cost 150 Vestigial Motes each.

Farming the Ascension Game mode in Warframe

Each of Jade's Warframe parts have a 5% chance to drop as the completion reward for an Ascension mission, the Brutus node on Uranus.

These are all the components that you need to craft Jade:

Jade Systems Blueprint
Jade Chassis Blueprint
Jade Neuroptics Blueprint

As with all Warframes, the component blueprints must be crafted first, which will then let you craft Jade from the main blueprint. The following table shows which resources are required to craft each component:

Component Name	Resources Required
Jade Chassis	15000 Credits 600 Alloy Plate 4000 Nano Spores 1500 Plastids 6 Morphics
Jade Systems	15000 Credits 600 Ferrite 600 Plastids 1100 Rubedo 10 Control Module
Jade Neuroptics	15000 Credits 1000 Circuits 750 Bundle 3 Neural Sensors 4 Neurodes

The mission itself has some unique mechanics, but it is easy to clear within a few minutes if you bring a Wukong or a Titania. To learn about this mission in further detail, check out our guide on Warframe's Ascension game mode.

Note that the Ascension mission is gated behind a few prerequisites - including the Jade Shadows quest itself, as well as The New War. Given how versatile and useful Jade's toolkit is for the end-game, her being inaccessible to newer players seems fair.

Unlucky Tenno who keep getting the same Jade component drops over and over again can always complete the full set with help from Ordis in Larunda Relay, Mercury.

A unique resource called Vestigial Motes drops at the end of each Ascension run (7-12 per run). By selecting the 'Release Vestigial Motes' option with Ordis, you can use this resource to buy any Jade component:

Jade Blueprint can be acquired for 450 Vestigial Motes.
Jade Chassis Blueprint can be acquired for 150 Vestigial Motes.
Jade Neuroptics Blueprint can be acquired for 150 Vestigial Motes.
Jade Systems Blueprint can be acquired for 150 Vestigial Motes.
