Baro Ki'Teer: How Warframe's Void Trader Works

Baro Ki'Teer, known as the Void Trader, is a travelling merchant in Warframe who sells rare and powerful items gathered from the Void. He is not a permanent shopkeeper: he appears at one Relay, sells his stock for a short visit, and then vanishes until the next time. His manner is famously haughty, and his wares are the kind of luxury goods that ordinary vendors never carry. Completing the Sands of Inaros quest reveals more of his backstory, including humble beginnings behind the showy persona, but for most players he is simply the trader with the best mods in the game.

Baro visits one Relay every two weeks and stays for exactly 48 hours, arriving on a Friday and leaving on Sunday. The game flags his destination Relay on the star chart before he arrives, and the Ducat kiosks in the Relays count down to his arrival, so you can plan ahead. When he lands, every Tenno gets an inbox message announcing his arrival. Because the window is short, check the star chart on visit weekends and go early, because his stock is only visible while he is present, and once he leaves, that visit's inventory is gone.

Almost everything Baro sells costs two currencies at once: Orokin Ducats and credits. Ducats come only from trading Prime parts and blueprints at the Ducat kiosks found in every Relay, right beside where Baro sets up. You get Prime parts by opening Void Relics in fissure missions, and the parts you do not need go to the kiosk. Rarer parts are worth more Ducats, so the fastest way to build a stockpile is to crack a lot of relics, ideally in squads running endless fissure missions, and feed the spares to the kiosk. Bring both Ducats and credits to the visit, because every item costs some of each.

Buy Primed Mods first, always. Primed Mods are stronger versions of ordinary mods that only Baro sells, and the good ones, such as Primed Continuity and Primed Flow, stay useful for thousands of hours of play. After that, consider Prisma and other exclusive weapon variants, then cosmetics and seasonal items. His stock rotates every visit and repeats irregularly, so an item you skip may not return for a long time. Check what he is selling each visit before spending, and prioritise the items you will actually use over the ones that merely look rare. Warframe players can also browse the store or look at PUBG Mobile accounts for sale for other games. Every game runs its trading system on its own rules — our guide to the 15-day Steam trade hold (/en/seo/15-days-hold-steam-trade-guide) explains another trading system with the same kind of waiting rules.
