Warframe players know the grind is real, but some resources are trickier to find than others. Tasoma Extract is one of those elusive materials that can leave even seasoned Tenno scratching their heads. If you’re trying to build Oraxia, Kullervo, or certain Incarnon Geneses, you’ll need a decent stash of this rare plant. The good news? It’s not impossible to farm—you just need to know where to look and how to optimize your runs.
Tasoma Extract is a rare resource found exclusively in Duviri, Warframe’s surreal open-world zone. This twisted, dreamlike landscape is packed with hidden caves, and that’s where you’ll find Tasoma growing. The plant itself looks like something out of a sci-fi horror flick—tentacle-like stems with bulbous, eye-like growths that glow faintly in the dark. Creepy? Maybe. Useful? Absolutely.
You’ll need a fair amount of it for crafting, especially if you’re working on Oraxia’s Systems (which requires 75 Tasoma Extract). Since it doesn’t drop in huge quantities, farming efficiently is key.
Where to Find Tasoma Extract
Forget about open fields or enemy drops—Tasoma Extract only spawns inside Duviri’s caves. These aren’t always easy to spot, especially if you’re new to the area. Here’s the breakdown:
- Duviri Experience Mode: This is your best bet for farming. The caves here are plentiful, and you can take your time exploring without being rushed by objectives.
- Isleweaver: While you’re busy with this update’s content, keep an eye out for caves. The one under the King’s Palace is a reliable spot, though it doesn’t have as many deposits as other locations.
- Specific Cave Hotspots: Some caves are better than others. Farbreeze Hamlet, Primrose Village, and Titan’s Rest are known for having multiple Tasoma nodes. If you’re flying around on your Kaithe, check under floating islands and near waterfalls—these often hide cave entrances.
Tips for Efficient Farming
1. Go Solo
Playing in a public squad can backfire. If someone else has already cleared a cave, you might walk into an empty room. Running solo ensures all the Tasoma Extract is yours for the taking. Plus, you won’t have teammates rushing you to extract before you’ve hit all the caves.
2. Use the Smooth Path Intrinsic
The Kaithe riding intrinsic “Smooth Path” (unlocked at Rank 5) is a game-changer. It marks plants on your minimap, making it way easier to spot Tasoma in dark caves. Since the plants blend into the environment, this perk saves you from running in circles.
3. Look for the Double Drops Decree
Decrees are temporary buffs in Duviri, and “Bountiful Harvest” (which doubles pickups) is the holy grail for resource farming. If you see it, grab it immediately. If not, reroll your decrees or complete side objectives for a chance to unlock it.
4. Fly Under Duviri
Some of the best caves are tucked underneath the floating islands. Hop on your Kaithe and explore the underside of the map. Waterfalls and rocky overhangs often hide entrances to caves packed with Tasoma.
5. Complete an Objective Before Leaving
Here’s a neat trick: Your loot is saved as soon as you earn a decree. After you’ve gathered enough Tasoma, finish a quick side objective (like finding a Lost Item) to lock in your progress. Then, you can leave without losing anything.
Best Caves for Tasoma Extract
Not all caves are created equal. These are the top spots where Tasoma Extract tends to spawn in decent quantities:
- Farbreeze Hamlet Cave: Usually has 3–4 deposits, and enemies rarely bother you here.
- Primrose Village Cave: Hidden near a ridge, this one typically holds 2–3 nodes.
- Titan’s Rest: Check the lower areas—this cave often has 3–4 deposits.
- Moirai Crossing: Flying beneath this zone reveals a large cave with a couple of Tasoma plants.
- Fort Wyrmsoul: Another solid option with multiple nodes.
