Factual answers to the questions Warframe players actually ask:
platinum, Baro Ki'Teer, relics and fissures, world cycles, prices.
Game mechanics (durations, taxes, resets) are stable; everything that changes constantly
(active fissures, prices, Baro) is live on the
VoidRelay dashboard — free, no account.
The reliable method: crack Void relics, collect Prime parts, and sell them to other players for platinum.
Trading unlocks at Mastery Rank 2 and happens in a clan dojo or at Maroo's Bazaar. Typical observed ranges: common parts 4–15 platinum, rare parts and full sets 15–100+. Always check the real price before selling.
→ Tool: VoidRelay · Market card (median prices, 24 h/7 d trends for Prime sets, warframe.market data).
Sell Prime parts at the Ducat kiosks in any relay: 15, 25, 45, 65 or 100 Ducats per part depending on rarity (rare golden parts = 100).
Tip: a part that sells high in platinum is usually better sold to players than to the kiosk — compare the Ducats-per-platinum ratio before dumping your stock.
There is no fixed schedule: active fissures rotate continuously, with Lith, Meso, Neo and Axi missions always up.
On top of those: Requiem fissures (Kuva/Tenet weapons), Omnia fissures (Zariman), Steel Path variants and RailjackVoid Storms. Pick by relic tier and mission type you enjoy.
About 26 min 40 s total: 6 min 40 s warm, then 20 minutes cold.
The Orb Vallis (Fortuna) weather affects fishing and some creature spawns. Also tracked: Cambion Drift (Deimos) — 100 min Fass / 50 min Vome — and Earth (4 h day / 4 h night).
No fixed price: a Riven mod is worth anywhere from a few dozen to several thousand platinum, depending on the weapon, rolled stats and reroll count.
The most reliable check: compare similar Rivens (same weapon, close stats) on warframe.market Riven auctions. Be wary of off-the-cuff estimates in trade chat.
→ Honesty note: VoidRelay deliberately does not price Rivens (too roll-dependent); it tracks standard items — Prime sets, arcanes, mods — on its Market card.
Yes — a credit tax paid by the receiver: 500 credits per platinum received (receiving 100 platinum costs 50,000 credits).
Each traded item also has a flat tax based on rarity. Clan dojos can add 0–100% on top (clan setting); Maroo's Bazaar adds 10%. Details: official wiki — Trading.
→ Tip: keep spare credits before a big trade; missing credits blocks the trade.
Yes to both. Crossplay works across PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch and mobile; Cross Platform Save is available everywhere via account linking.
Account merging was retired on January 17, 2025 — account linking remains available. Trading works across platforms, with one exception: platinum cannot be traded between Switch and other platforms. Source: warframe.com — cross progression.
→ Tool: VoidRelay tracks the PC market by default.
Warframe is free-to-play: all gear (warframes, weapons, mods) can be earned in-game, and the premium currency — platinum — is player-tradable, so you can earn it without paying.
Real money mostly buys time (rush timers) and cosmetics. Player trading is the valve that keeps the system balanced: patient players convert farm into platinum (see the platinum question).
→ Tool: VoidRelay is free too — no account, no intrusive ads.
The community reference is warframe.market: live buy/sell orders posted by players.
For an at-a-glance view without searching item by item, VoidRelay automatically aggregates: lowest seller price, median price, 24 h / 7 d change, Ducats-per-platinum ratio and alerts on big moves.
