Blueprints

Blueprints can be purchased in the Market with credits and be used in the foundry. They can be used to construct weapons, sentinels, warframes, helmets, and Orokin Reactors and Orokin Catalysts that are otherwise only available to purchase with platinum. The primary difference between buying a blueprint and the regular version of equipment is the time and resources required to acquire the in-game item. Some blueprints cannot be purchased. They have to be obtained through alert mission with a "?" in the reward bar.

Every blueprint outlines the needed resources, credits, and time required to build the equipment in the foundry.

The blueprints as well as all the resources are used to make the end item. So if more than one of the same item is made a second blueprint would be required.

Warframe Blueprints
Similar to weapon blueprints, Warframe blueprints can be purchased from the Market for credits, instead of buying them with platinum. The components must be acquired through special assassination missions from the respective target.

Crafting a warframe from a blueprint gives a single one of each ability card for that Warframe.

Sentinel Blueprints
Sentinel blueprints can be purchased from the Market for credits, instead of buying them with platinum, if you buy the Sentinels they will come a pre-installed Orokin Reactor as well as mods see the Sentinels page for the listing. The components must be acquired through special assassination missions from the respective target.
