How do you get Ash in Warframe?

Ash parts drop at Pluto/Obol Crossing (Skirmish), at up to 13.33% per reward roll. You need 3 parts, then build the frame in your Foundry.

How long does Ash take to build?

The finished Ash takes 72 hours in the Foundry and costs 25,000 credits. Each component has its own build time on top of that.

Should I farm Ash or trade for Ash Prime?

Base Ash is not tradeable, so farming is the only route to it. Ash Prime is tradeable and its set currently sells for around 70p on warframe.market — often the faster option if you only want the frame rather than the mastery.

How to Get Ash

Behold the patron saint of the Orokin school of political assassination. Ash specializes in stealth. The edge of his blade is sooner felt than seen.

Other frames to farm

Farm it, or trade for the Prime

Base Ash cannot be traded — no player can sell you one, so the drops above are the only route to it. Ash Prime is tradeable, and its set goes for about 70p. If you want the frame rather than the mastery rank, buying the Prime is usually quicker than grinding the base.

Drop locations, chances and enemy levels come from the official drop tables and the regions export, re-read daily. Where a mission node could not be matched to a level band we show the node without levels rather than guessing a range — sending you into content you cannot clear would be worse than saying nothing.
