Foundry

The Foundry is the menu to craft warframes, weapons, and sentinels in Warframe using blueprints, resources, credits, and time. The Player's currently collected Materials can be seen in in the column to the right of the Foundry Window. It is important to note that duplicates of the same item cannot be built at the same time. Foundry build time continues to countdown even when a player is not logged in. It should be noted that the platinum cost to "rush" construction does not decrease with time and remains fixed throughout the forging process

Forging Warframes
Forging a Warframe requires you to buy the frame blueprint, and then gather three blueprints to craft the components(helmet, chassis, and systems) of the Warframe itself, in addition to the required materials. These are typically dropped from bosses, with each frame having a specific boss - however Banshee, Vauban, and Volt do not come from boss drops. Warframe forging time can be rushed by paying the required amount of Platinum.

Each Warframe Schematic requires a Helmet, Chassis, Systems, Orokin Cell and 25,000.

When a Player claims a newly built Warframe from The Foundry, the Warframe will occup a Warframe slot. Additionally, the four abilities Mods of that Warframe will be added to the Player's inventory.

Forging Weapons
Weapon blueprints require raw materials, credits, and have a build timer (this can be rushed with platinum). The build timer varies from weapon to weapon. Some blueprints are only available as alert rewards, boss drops, or as Orokin Void reward drops.
