Welcome, Tenno! Are you ready to harness the power of the Monkey King, Wukong? Whether you're a fresh recruit or a seasoned veteran looking to expand your arsenal, getting your hands on this mischievous and immortal Warframe is a rewarding journey. This guide will walk you through every single step of the process, from joining a clan to crafting his final component. So, let's dive in!
Step 1: Get Clan-Worthy!
Before you can even think about acquiring Wukong, you need to be part of a Clan and have access to a Clan Dojo. This is the most crucial first step, as Wukong's blueprints are exclusively found within the Tenno Lab.
What's a Clan and a Dojo?
A Clan is a player-run guild in Warframe.
A Dojo is the Clan's home base and a central hub for research, trading, and crafting.
How do I join a Clan?
The easiest way is to use the in-game recruiting chat. Just type a message like, "LF a clan to join for blueprints!" You'll likely get a few invites in no time.
You can also check out the official Warframe forums or Discord servers for clan recruitment threads.
Engage with your new clan! Don't be shy. A good clan is a community, and they'll be happy to help you out with questions, resources, and missions. Ask if their Tenno Lab research for Wukong is complete. If it is, you're one step closer!

Step 2: Gaining Access to the Dojo
Once you've been invited to a Clan, you can't just teleport there right away. You need to build a Clan Key first.
Tip: Read slowly to catch the finer details.
Go to your Foundry: Open your in-game menu and navigate to the Foundry.
Blueprint for the Clan Key: The Clan Key blueprint is automatically given to you when you join a Clan.
Craft the Key: You'll need some basic resources to build it. Once you have the necessary materials, start the crafting process. It takes about 12 hours.
Pro-tip: If you're impatient, you can spend Platinum to instantly complete the build, but for a free-to-play player, waiting is the way to go!
Step 3: The Tenno Lab - Your Blueprint Heaven
With your Clan Key in hand, you can now enter the Dojo!
Navigate to the Dojo: Go to your Navigation console and select the Dojo icon.
Find the Tenno Lab: Once inside the Dojo, use the "Fast Travel" option to instantly teleport to the Tenno Lab. If your clan doesn't have it, you'll need to work with them to build it.
The Blueprints: Inside the Tenno Lab, you'll find the console where you can purchase the blueprints for Wukong and his components. You need to purchase four blueprints:
Wukong Blueprint
Wukong Neuroptics Blueprint
Wukong Chassis Blueprint
Wukong Systems Blueprint
Each blueprint will cost you a small amount of Credits.
Step 4: The Scavenger Hunt for Resources
Now that you have all the blueprints, the real grind begins. You need to gather the resources required to craft each part. This is where your knowledge of the star chart comes in handy!
QuickTip: Reading carefully once is better than rushing twice.
Sub-heading: Wukong Neuroptics
Required Resources:
15,000 Credits
1,400 Circuits
1 Neural Sensor
2,600 Polymer Bundle
2 Nitain Extract
Where to find them:
Circuits: Commonly found on planets like Venus and Ceres.
Neural Sensors: Best farmed on Jupiter or from Rotation C of the Formido mission on Deimos.
Polymer Bundle: Found in abundance on Uranus and Mercury.
Nitain Extract: This is a tricky one. Your primary source will be from Nora's Nightwave Cred Offerings. You can also get them from Reactor Sabotage missions or Ghoul Purge bounties, but the drop rates are very low. Stock up on Nightwave credits!
Sub-heading: Wukong Chassis
Required Resources:
15,000 Credits
1 Morphics
900 Ferrite
50 Rubedo
4 Nitain Extract
Where to find them:
Morphics: Found on planets like Mars, Mercury, and Europa.
Ferrite: Common resource on Earth, Mercury, and the Void.
Rubedo: Farmable on Earth and Phobos, among other places.
Nitain Extract: Same as above - Nightwave is your best bet!
Sub-heading: Wukong Systems
Required Resources:
15,000 Credits
2 Argon Crystals
2 Neurodes
8,000 Salvage
4,000 Plastids
Where to find them:
Argon Crystals: Only found in the Void. They decay after a certain amount of time, so use them quickly after farming!
Neurodes: Farm on Earth, Eris, and Deimos.
Salvage: Easy to find on Mars and Jupiter.
Plastids: Abundant on planets like Saturn and Eris.
Tip: Train your eye to catch repeated ideas.
Step 5: The Final Assembly in the Foundry
Once you have all the resources for each component, it's time to build them!
Go back to the Foundry.
Start crafting the components: The Neuroptics, Chassis, and Systems will each take 12 hours to build.
Craft the Warframe: After all three components are complete, you can begin crafting the main Wukong Warframe. This will take a full 72 hours (3 days).
Important: Don't forget that you'll also need an Orokin Cell to craft the main blueprint. You can get these from various bosses or in the Orokin Void.
Congratulations, Tenno! Once the crafting is complete, you can claim your new Wukong from the Foundry and start causing some mayhem with his unique abilities. Enjoy your new immortal trickster!
