Yareli rides a water board called Merulina and shoots straight off it. Sea Snares catch enemies in bubbles, Aquablades slice everything around her. On the board she barely takes damage, so she plays fast.
Can you buy Yareli for platinum
Buying is simple here, yes, Yareli costs 325 platinum in the Market and arrives fully built with a free slot.
- Price. 325 platinum for a built Yareli with a slot for it.
- Mastery. It ticks the same whether the frame was bought or built, so buying saves time, not rank.
There is a second route people forget about. A full Yareli Prime set on warframe.market goes for around 29 platinum as of 29 August 2026, which is 11.2 times cheaper than the 325 the shop wants for the regular version. The difference is what you get: 325 buys a finished frame with a slot, while a market set is blueprints that you still have to build and feed with resources. Platinum but no time, use the shop. Time but little platinum, buy the Prime set, which is the stronger frame anyway.
Is there a Yareli Prime
Yes, Yareli Prime exists and is available right now. Parts drop from Void relics the usual way: farm relics, crack them in a fissure, collect four blueprints. Trading works too, built parts sell for platinum.
The Prime recipe is its own thing and noticeably heavier: it eats 4 250 Alloy Plate instead of 1 750. Components cost 15,000 credits and 12 hours each, the final build costs 25,000 and sits for 72 h. The regular version takes exactly as long for its final build. Do not toss the spare parts, Baro Ki'Teer takes them for ducats, prices are in the table.
| Blueprint | Relics it drops from | Ducats | Resources per build |

| Main blueprint | Meso D8 Relic, Meso P17 Relic, Neo A14 Relic, Neo T11 Relic | 45 | Yareli Prime Neuroptics x1, Yareli Prime Chassis x1, Yareli Prime Systems x1, Orokin Cell x5 |

Where the blueprints come from
The main blueprint comes from The Waverider, a quest built out of K-Drive trick challenges, one per day. Components are researched in the Ventkids' Bash Lab in a clan dojo. A repeat main blueprint costs 50,000 standing at Cephalon Simaris.
This is where most people get stuck: the blueprints sit in a clan dojo, and a new player has no clan. It takes one evening to get past.
- Find a clan. Open the Recruiting chat in game and say you are looking for a clan with the Tenno Lab researched. There are almost always open spots and joining takes a minute.
- If the research is not done, any member with research rights can start it. Pick the frame in the Tenno Lab, the clan chips in resources, then a timer runs.
- You cannot buy the blueprints from another player. Clan lab blueprints are not tradeable. Only Prime parts are.
- If you would rather not hunt for a clan, two routes remain: 275 platinum for the finished frame in the shop, or a Prime set from the market.
What it is built from
It builds like every other frame: three parts, then the main blueprint over them. Components run in the Foundry at the same time, so from the first click to a finished frame it is roughly 84 h: twelve for the parts and 72 for the Warframe itself.
| Blueprint | Credits | Time | Resources per build |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chassis | 15 000 | 12 h | Tellurium x2, Venerdo Alloy x20, Circuits x350, Nano Spores x1 500 |
| Neuroptics | 15 000 | 12 h | Argon Crystal x2, Plastids x150, Salvage x875, Heart Noctrul x10 |
| Systems | 15 000 | 12 h | Nitain Extract x2, Cryotic x350, Scrubber Exa Brain x5, Alloy Plate x1 750 |
| Yareli | 25 000 | 72 h | Yareli Neuroptics x1, Yareli Chassis x1, Yareli Systems x1, Orokin Cell x3 |
Where to farm the resources
There is exactly one bottleneck here, and it is Nitain Extract: the recipe wants 2 and it will not pile up on its own. Nightwave Cred Offerings, 15 creds a piece. It does not drop from enemies any more, so this one is bought weekly and cannot be rushed. Second heaviest is Tellurium at 2. Archwing missions and Empyrean. Salacia on Neptune is the usual pick because the runs are short and repeatable. Everything else accumulates while you play and needs no special trip.
| Resource | Where it drops |
|---|---|
| Orokin Cell | Ceres, Saturn, and Deimos |
| Tellurium | Archwing Missions on Uranus |
| Venerdo Alloy | built from Venerol ore, blueprint from Smokefinger for 2,000 standing |
| Circuits | Venus, Ceres, and the Kuva Fortress |
| Nano Spores | Saturn, Neptune, Eris, and Deimos |
| Argon Crystal | Missions in the Void |
| Plastids | Phobos, Saturn, Uranus, Pluto, and Eris |
| Salvage | Mars, Jupiter, and Sedna |
| Heart Noctrul | built from Noctrul ore, blueprint from Smokefinger for 1,000 standing |
| Nitain Extract | Nightwave Cred Offerings |
| Cryotic | Excavation Missions on Venus, Earth, Phobos, Europa, and Neptune |
| Scrubber Exa Brain | Scrubber servofish, Orb Vallis caves |
| Alloy Plate | Venus, Phobos, Ceres, Jupiter, Pluto, and Sedna |
Is Yareli worth building
Yareli fights from a board: Merulina carries her, blocks most damage and never lets her stand still.
The numbers look like this: no mastery rank requirement, roughly 84 hours from the first foundry press to a finished frame, and 70 000 credits across all the builds together. A finished Prime set on the market runs about 29 platinum.
Divisive and genuinely good once you accept that you will be riding, not walking.
Every other frame is broken down the same way, the full list lives in the guide to all Warframes.
