How Does Baro Ki'Teer Work?

Baro Ki'Teer is the Void Trader, a travelling merchant in Warframe who sells rare items you cannot buy anywhere else. He appears at one Relay every two weeks and stays for two days, then vanishes until his next visit. The game flags his destination Relay on the star chart before he arrives, and you get an inbox message when he lands. Because his visits are short and his stock changes every time, the players who get the most from him are the ones who arrive prepared, with Ducats already saved. The Halloween season is a popular time to watch for him, since he has brought special seasonal items on past visits.

Baro does not deal in ordinary credits alone. Most of what he sells costs Orokin Ducats plus credits, and Ducats come only from trading in Prime parts. You collect Prime parts and blueprints by opening Void Relics, then take the spares you do not need to a Ducat kiosk, which sits on every Relay beside where Baro sets up. Rarer parts are worth more Ducats than common ones, so the parts you would otherwise leave in your inventory are the ones that fund your next Baro visit. Start saving well before he arrives, because a visit with an empty Ducat balance is a wasted trip.

Buy Primed Mods first, because they are stronger versions of ordinary mods that only Baro sells, and they stay useful across your whole Warframe career. After that, look at Prisma weapons and other exclusive gear, then cosmetics, since those are the items that may not return for a long while. His stock rotates every visit and repeats on no fixed schedule, so an item you skip today might not come back soon. Check the full stock list when he arrives, compare it with what you already own, and spend on the items you will actually use before the ones that only look good in the shop.

Between visits, run Void Relic missions and feed spare Prime parts to the Ducat kiosk so your balance is ready. Keep some credits aside too, since every item costs credits on top of Ducats. When the inbox message announces his arrival, check which Relay he is on, travel there, and browse the stock before you spend anything. If you are short on Ducats for the item you want, it is better to save for the next visit than to trade away Prime parts you still need for your own builds.
