Plastids: Drop sources, locations, and probabilities

Tips

There are many ways to get Plastids in Warframe, but my recommendation for optimal efficiency would be to try one of these missions (in this order):

  • Eris/Naeglar : It's a Caches mission (level 30-34). The item is dropped on rotation B (15.49%).
  • Uranus/Desdemona : It's a Caches mission (level 26-28). The item is dropped on rotation B (15.49%).
  • Void/Marduk : It's a Sabotage mission (level 40-45). Probability to get it: 6.25%.The item is dropped on rotation B (15.18%).
  • Lua/Plato : It's a Caches mission (level 25-30). The item is dropped on rotation A (12.91%).
  • Ceres/Ker : It's a Caches mission (level 14-16). The item is dropped on rotation B (12.65%).
These recommendations are based on the usual missions lengths, and the probability of getting the resource dropped.
Only mission rewards are listed here. Enemy drops are not taken into consideration, there might be more efficient options available in some cases.
