Vestigial Motes is a resource that was added to Warframe with the Jade Shadows update, which included the addition of the Ascension game mode.
This resource is valuable for those who need another way to obtain certain items introduced in the Jade Shadows update as well as available other items.
Obtaining Vestigial Motes is not that difficult since all you need to do is complete the Brutus mission on Uranus, also known as the Ascension game mode.
How To Get Vestigial Motes?
Vestigial Motes are primarily obtained by completing Ascension missions found on Brutus, Uranus, which serve as the main and most consistent source of the resource.
Each completed Ascension mission rewards you with around 11 to 14 Vestigial Motes on normal difficulty, while Steel Path increases the amount to 16 to 18.
During these missions, you can also summon Sisters of Parvos by collecting Sister Beacons scattered around the map, which triggers an additional encounter.
Defeating a summoned Sister of Parvos grants 5 to 7 Vestigial Motes in normal mode or 8 to 10 when playing on Steel Path, providing an effective secondary farming method.
Vestigial Motes Uses
Vestigial Motes are used to purchase certain items from Ordis in the Larunda Relay, which can be found in the Mercury System.
The following are the items that may be purchased from Ordis with Vestigial Motes:
- Jade Blueprint (450)
- Jade Chassis Blueprint (150)
- Jade Neuroptics Blueprint (150)
- Jade System Blueprint (150)
- Evensong Blueprint (300)
- Cantare Blueprint (300)
- Harmony Blueprint (300)
- Arcane Ice Storm (10)
- Secondary Surge (10)
- Arcane Battery (10)

Verdict
With the Jade Shadow update now in play, many players are collecting Vestigial Motes to complete their purchases before time runs out.
Players who are unable to make purchases will need to resort to doing Ascensions to get the rest of the items that they need.
If you wish to find Ordis quickly in the Larunda Relay you can open your main menu and select fast travel, which will allow you to teleport to him.
