The latest Warframe update introduced numerous features, one of which is the Anomaly Shards, however, these Shards can only be used for 2 things.
Overview
Warframe is a fun online game that is set in a futuristic, fictional world. It invites players to control members of the Tenno, which is a race of powerful ancient warriors who have awakened from a very long cryosleep. However, they now find themselves at war in the universe with various factions.
While completing quests and exploring the world, you will come across different types of resources. It is believed that the resources can be obtained in any mission, and they have numerous uses. That being said, you should remember that resources are divided into different categories.
This means that common resources can be found very easily and are generally inexpensive. Rare resources, on the other hand, are very expensive, as they are hard to obtain.
Why are resources important?
It is clear that resources have multiple uses in Warframe. Although most resources are generally used to craft items with blueprints in the Foundry. You should remember that the Foundry is the section of your Orbiter responsible for the crafting of Warframes, Sentinels, weapons, equipment and Archwings.
You will have to obtain various resources before you can craft one of the above-mentioned items. Resources thus play a crucial part in the game, as you will not be able to craft anything if you do not have any.
It is advised that you save your resources, as you never know what you might need. However, you may want to sell your rare resources to obtain some in-game currencies.
Warframe: Anomaly Shards
Warframe’s latest update, The New War, introduced Caliban, who is a Sentient-Warframe hybrid. However, he requires very rare materials to craft, one of which is Anomaly Shards. It is alleged that this resource is very hard to obtain if you have not invested time or resources into your Railjack.
Railjacks can be seen as large Orokin-era interceptor spacecraft used by the Tenno. This spacecraft consists of amazing weaponry and defensive systems, which allows them to face large capital ships in direct combat. It is important to note that you have to own a Railjack in order to craft Caliban.
As mentioned above, you will also need the Anomaly Shards, which drops from the Murex Sentient ships. You can find these types of ships in the Veil Proxima. You should remember that the Veil Proxima is a Railjack region that is relatively high level, as it starts at level 80.
How to obtain Anomaly Shards
It is clear that you have to own a level 80 or higher Railjack before you can start a mission to obtain Anomaly Shards. It is alleged that every 30 minutes, one mission in the Veil Proxima will begin to flash with a red Sentient icon, which indicates that a Murex Sentient ship is present.
When this happens, it is recommended that you start the mission and make your way through the Murex ship. You will have to defeat 20 Sentients inside the ship before completing the Railjack mission as usual. Once you have completed your mission, you will receive an Anomaly Shard.
Anomaly Shards’ uses
You should remember that the Anomaly Shard only has 2 uses. This means you can either use it to purchase rewards from Little Duck, or you can use it to craft Caliban. The Little Duck is a vendor in Fortuna that sells Sentient-themed vanity items for Anomaly Shards. While the Caliban requires 9 Shards to be crafted, which is 3 for each component.
The following table indicates the items you can purchase with Anomaly Shards:
| Item | Cost |
| Tenebrous Ephemera | 15 Anomaly Shards |
| Sentient Balcony Scene | 10 Anomaly Shards |
| Sentient Fountain Scene | 10 Anomaly Shards |
| Sentient Basin Scene | 10 Anomaly Shards |
| Sentient Concourse Scene | 10 Anomaly Shards |
| Sentient Alter Scene | 10 Anomaly Shards |
Crafting Caliban
Before you can craft Caliban, you have to obtain various blueprints for him, and for his components. Caliban’s main blueprint can be purchased from the Market. Moreover, his component blueprints can be obtained after completing The New War on the Plains of Eidolon’s Day cycle. However, you can also collect the blueprints on Orb Vallis during the Plains’ night cycle.
