Social Areas serve as neutral safe areas that you share with other players. Social areas usually contain important character shops and multitudes of questing opportunities. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

 

​There are 2 types of social areas: Relays, and Maroo’s Bazaar. There are tons of different relay locations and they can be accessed just off the side of certain planet’s maps. The earliest relay you'll find in the game is the “Larunda Relay” on Mercury. All relays have identical layouts and character shops, so I'd suggest just coming to this one as a new player.

Relays have many different factions that you can interact with, with tons of loot and progression opportunities. Namely, relays hold all 6 of the syndicate faction vendors, Cephalon Simaris, and Teshin. Each of these vendors serves some purpose, big or small, so take a look around and check them all out if you’d like!

The second main social area is Maroo’s Bazaar. This is a smaller social area off of Mars where players can engage in trades, and interact with Maroo: a vendor who can reward you with large amounts of Endo: the mod upgrade currency.

Social Areas are hotspots that you'll bouncing between very frequently in your Warframe journey, so you'll become familiar with their layouts and purpose naturally.
