warframe

Welcome to Warframe's Trading system! Here you can trade in-game items and Platinum with other Tenno.

The first rule of trading in Warframe is to only trade in-game items that are available in the trade window.

Attempting to trade items outside of the game is considered a violation of the Terms of Service/EULA.

To learn more about safe trading practices, hover over the tips icon in the trade window.

Hitting "Accept" means you have read and understood the above.

Happy safe trading, Tenno!
—Trading Policy that appears when Trading for the first time

The Trading System allows players to trade any tradeables (see below) at the Clan Dojo (excluding Railjack), or at the dedicated trading relay - Maroo's Bazaar. There is a minimum Mastery requirement of Rank 2 in order to trade, and up to 6 items can be traded per transaction by each partner (for a maximum of 12 items traded total).


Prerequisites

"- Trading is done within the Dojo at a Trading Post or in Maroo's Bazaar.
- You can invite non-members of your clan to your Dojo to trade.
- Not all items can be Traded. Set up shop in Maroo's Bazaar to see what you can offer and buy!
- You must have a Mastery Rank of 2 or higher and Two-Factor Authentication enabled in order to trade.

Note: We do not enforce trades for promises, clan membership, and other favors. Trade for items only."
Trading Channel Introductory Message

There is a minimum Mastery requirement of Rank 2 in order to trade.

As of Update 25.0 (2019-05-22), players need to enable 2-Factor Authentication on the official Warframe site in order to gain access to trade. Follow these steps to enable 2FA:

  1. Go to the Official Warframe website's Account Management page and log into your PC or Console account if needed.
  2. Click on “USER INFORMATION” side tab if it is not active already.
  3. You should see there
    “Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) and receive a free in-game cosmetic: Enable” - click on "Enable".
  4. A popup message will appear at the top of the webpage saying “PLEASE CHECK YOUR EMAIL FOR FINAL CONFIRMATION. IF YOU DO NOT RECEIVE WITHIN THE NEXT HOUR PLEASE CONTACT SUPPORT AT SUPPORT.WARFRAME.COM FOR ASSISTANCE.”
  5. You should receive an email within an hour with a link to confirm. Click the link, and wait for the Official Warframe's website to open with a popup message at the top saying
    “TWO-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION HAS BEEN ENABLED FOR YOUR ACCOUNT.”

Tradeables

Trades are charged for a trade tax which amount in Credits Credits based on the rarity of the commodity. Players will need to pay the respective Credits64 tax for the item they receive in the trade. Additionally, a hub tax may be payable in addition to baseline game tax:

Not all items can be Traded. Set up shop in Maroo's Bazaar or your Clan's Dojo to see the full list of items that you currently own that are eligible to be sold (hold the Gear key (Q ) and select "SET UP SHOP").

All tradeables are split into the following categories in game GUI (only categories for which a player has tradeable items will be shown):

1) The table above shows only baseline game tax. This will be higher by the hub tax: either additional 10% if trading in Maroo's Bazar, or additional 0-100% if trading in a Clan Dojo - specific surplus tax will be different in every Dojo and will be the tax rate that was last set by any of the Clan's Treasurers.
2) Each Ayatan Star slotted into a Sculpture increases the trade tax by Credits64 2,000.
3) Only Tradeable Weapon that are bought pre-built can be traded. They must be unaltered by any Affinity, Forma, Lens, or Orokin Catalysts to be tradeable.
4) Players cannot trade away the initial amount of platinum that all accounts start off with. This is to prevent players from creating new accounts to farm platinum. Players cannot trade platinum that has been gifted to them either.

Limitations

Matchmaking

There are several means to find buyers and sellers.

In-Game Trade Chat

In general, players post both WTB, WTS, and WTT offers in the in-game global trading Chat channel. If you cannot see this channel, then please check if it may have been disabled in the settings: default Esc > OPTIONS > CHAT > Trade Chat.

When you want to contact the sender of an offer in the trading channel, click on their name and select "Talk". As the number of messages in trading channel can be overwhelming especially at peak times with most of them not being relevant, the game allows you to apply per-channel filtering rules to only show the relevant trading messages.

Terminology

People who use the Trade chat have their own acronyms to summarize their offers. Below is a short list of the most commonly used acronyms in Trade chat. A more comprehensive guide can be found here.

Maroo's Bazaar

You can also visit Maroo's Bazaar on Mars and meet other players willing to trade, inspecting offers displayed above a seller's head. Approaching a seller and using the context action key (X ) will initiate a trade. To offer items for trade hold the Gear key (Q ) and select "SET UP SHOP".

Trading Boards

Process

The Trading Post as it appears in-game.

The Trading Post as it appears in-game.

One first needs to find a willing trading partner for whatever it is they are willing to either buy or sell, see Matchmaking section above on this page.

Once a trading partner is found, both trading partners have to be present in either Clan Dojo (excluding Railjack of either trading partner (they do not have to be in the same Clan), or in the same instance of Maroo's Bazaar on Mars.

Note that any players currently in Clan Dojo, but not eligible to trade will not be shown on the list - this includes players who have exhausted their daily trades, who have not reached Mastery Rank of 2, have not enabled 2FA on their account, or are inside the Railjack in the Dojo. As new players arrive or depart the Dojo - the list will also not be refreshed automatically, but instead needs to be closed and reopened again.

Once the actual trade is initiated, each partner will be presented with their own modifiable list of 6 slots (i.e. 12 slots total for a trade). They can freely edit each of their respective 6 slots at will before the trade is concluded by adding/removing items, and these modifications will be immediately shown to both trading parties. Only 1 of the 12 slots may be used to offer PlatinumLarge Platinum at any given time, however any amount of platinum may be offered in that slot. Any tradeable items other than Platinum will occupy a separate slot for each unit offered, even if these are duplicate copies of the same item type (e.g. not more 6 Cyan Ayatan Stars may be offered by a partner in a single trade, since each will occupy a separate trade slot).

Once a trading partner is satisfied with what is shown in the 12 trade slots - they may check "READY TO TRADE" tickbox. Altering any of the 12 trade slots will uncheck these for both partners. Once both partners have checked these tickboxes, "ACCEPT BUTTON" will be enabled. Clicking this will show the final confirmation the full names of all tradeables offered by both parties, and "OK" and "CANCEL" buttons below.

Confirmation

Clicking "OK" is perhaps the single most important step, as it will commit the trade and make it irreversible, so please only click it if you are absolutely satisfied with the trade. Each player is personally responsible for not being scammed, and the publisher's policy is to not unwind any trades, even where a player believes they have been scammed. The following tips should help:

Personal Trading/Chat History

PC users have a way to partially obtain personal trading and chat history, as long as they have not yet restarted their game session.

This section is transcluded from Chat § History. To change it, please edit the transcluded page.

There is a partial access to private chat and trading history, with the following observations:

Accessing History

Main article: EE.log

The history can be accessed in C:\Users\WINDOWSUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Warframe\EE.log, but note that this file is automatically overwritten every time you start the game. Using a text editor, such as Windows Notepad, you can do a text search in this file for the following:

This will find names of players with whom you had private conversations. E.g.
1743.266 Script [Info]: ChatRedux::AddTab: Adding tab with channel name: FPrivateMessengerPlayer to index 6


This will find your outgoing private messages, including the name of the recipient player. E.g.
1847.978 Net [Info]: IRC out: PRIVMSG RecipientPlayer :Outgoing message


This will find names of any players that were in a squad with you (self included), e.g. those you did a mission with, or those you teamed up with in order to trade. E.g.
2531.781 Net [Info]: MatchingServiceWeb::ProcessSquadMessage received JOIN message from SquadMemberPlayer
This will find names of any players that tried to trade with you. Note that this will not include players that you attempted to trade with, but it will include players that attempted to trade with you, but you declined and so no trade actually happened. E.g.
2617.190 Script [Info]: Dialog::CreateOkCancel(description=TradingCandidatePlayer wants to trade with you. Would you like to join their trading session?, leftItem=/Menu/Confirm_Item_Ok, rightItem=/Menu/Confirm_Item_Cancel)


This will find any trade details you have attempted, including the name of the trading partner, both bought and sold items and Platinum. E.g.
2640.533 Script [Info]: Dialog.lua: Dialog::CreateOkCancel(description=Are you sure you want to accept this trade? You are offering:
IGNIS WRAITH BLUEPRINT
and will receive from TradingPartnerPlayer the following:
PLATINUM x 100, leftItem=/Menu/Confirm_Item_Ok, rightItem=/Menu/Confirm_Item_Cancel)

If the trade was completed successfully, a few lines below you should find the following, albeit without the name of the trading partner:
2646.343 Script [Info]: Dialog.lua: Dialog::CreateOk(description=The trade was successful!, leftItem=/Menu/Confirm_Item_Ok)

Alternatively, if the trade was cancelled by either trading partner, the follow up record will be:
2646.343 Script [Info]: Dialog.lua: Dialog::CreateOk(description=The trade was cancelled by CancellingTradingPartnerPlayer, leftItem=/Menu/Confirm_Item_Ok)


This will find records of any purchases you made from either the Market or from Baro Ki'Teer. For Baro purchases the name of the item purchased is not recorded. For Market purchases - once this record is found, you will need to do a reverse search for PopulateInfo-> to recover the name of the purchased item. E.g.
3239.730 Script [Info]: PopulateInfo->/Lotus/StoreItems/Weapons/Tenno/LongGuns/DoubleBarrelShotgun/TennoDoubleBarrelShotgun
...
3248.563 Sys [Info]: Created /Lotus/Interface/PurchaseCelebration.swf


This will find the names of any items that you attempted building in the Foundry. E.g.
3487.620 Script [Info]: Dialog.lua: Dialog::CreateOkCancel(description=Are you sure you want to build 'CIPHER'?, leftItem=/Menu/Confirm_Item_Ok, rightItem=/Menu/Confirm_Item_Cancel)

If the user clicks OK to confirm the build, a few lines below you should find the following:
3489.420 Script [Info]: Dialog.lua: SendResult_MENU_SELECT()

Alternatively, if the user clicks CANCEL to cancel the build, a few lines below you should find the following:
3489.420 Script [Info]: Dialog.lua: SendResult_MENU_CANCEL()

Once the build completes, the following record will be added with NNN being some random digits:
3549.420 Script [Info]: Background.lua: Queuing new transmission: DFoundryNNNOrdis


This will find any attempted personal sales either from your Inventory for Credits Credits (internal currency prefix ) or from a Ducat kiosk in a Relay for OrokinDucats Orokin Ducats (internal currency prefix ). The names of the items to be sold are not recorded, only the total number of items, and the total value in the relevant currency.
Example of an attempted Credits Credits sale:
3487.620 Script [Info]: Dialog.lua: Dialog::CreateOkCancel(description=Are you sure you want to sell 17 Items for 425?, leftItem=/Menu/Confirm_Item_Yes, rightItem=/Menu/Confirm_Item_No)

Example of an attempted OrokinDucats Orokin Ducats sale:
3487.620 Script [Info]: Dialog.lua: Dialog::CreateOkCancel(description=Are you sure you want to sell 19 Items for 585?, leftItem=/Menu/Confirm_Item_Yes, rightItem=/Menu/Confirm_Item_No)

If the user clicks OK to confirm the sale, a few lines below you should find the following:
3489.420 Script [Info]: Dialog.lua: SendResult_MENU_SELECT()

Alternatively, if the user clicks CANCEL to cancel the sale, a few lines below you should find the following:
3489.420 Script [Info]: Dialog.lua: SendResult_MENU_CANCEL()

Troubleshooting

Bans

Chat Ban

Manual bans from the trading chat tab or the entirety of the chat system can be enacted by chat moderators if the player breaks the EULA by offering to trade in-game items for non-game items (including cash) outside of the game.[1]

Trade Ban

In addition, players may get automatically tagged by the game's anti-cheat system if they acquire—what the game deems as—an 'unrealistic' amount of loot in a mission, resulting in a two-week trade suspension until the developers review the player's case. These players will receive an in-game inbox message from Warframe's Support Team saying the following:

Hello (Player name),

A recent mission that you completed was flagged for having abnormal results and this has resulted in a two week moratorium on trades being placed on your account. After this auditing period concludes favorably your trading privileges will be restored to your account.

Thank you for understanding.

Warframe Support Team

After the player has been cleared for cheating, the trade ban will be lifted, allowing them to continue trading normally.

Patch History

Update 37.0 (2024-10-02)

CROSS PLATFORM PLAY/SAVE CHANGES

Cross Platform Trading/Gifting Changes You can now trade and gift with players regardless of their Cross Platform Save status!

Previously, you could only trade with players who had matching Cross Platform Save account statuses. In other words, someone with a Cross Platform Save account (PC accounts and/or Console accounts that were Linked or Merged) would only be able to trade with others who also had Cross Platform Save accounts. Now, you can trade with and gift anyone (including both sender and recipient) regardless of their engagement with the Cross Platform Save system.

Since this system’s rollout at the end of 2023, players have consistently voiced confusion and frustration at this “hidden” trading restriction. Without knowing whether your Trading partner matched your Cross Platform Save status, a 2 minute jaunt to the Dojo to trade your Prime sets could end up a lot more complicated than previously anticipated.

Now, with Koumei & the Five Fates, players should be able to trade so long as the following requirements are met:

  • Be Mastery Rank 2 or higher
  • Have TennoGuard 2FA enabled (PC and Cross Platform Save players only)
  • Have Cross Platform Play enabled (only if you want to do trades with Tenno on a different platform)

NOTE: Existing restrictions for Cross Platform trading of in-game premium currency to/from some platforms remain (more details in our FAQ).

Hotfix 36.1.1 (2024-08-21)

  • Fixed duplicate “Trade” context actions appearing in Maroo’s Bazaar/Dojos when a player sets up shop.

Update 36.0 (2024-06-18)

  • Trading Legendary Arcanes now requires you to be Mastery Rank 11.
    • It’s important to note that only the player trading requires MR 11 and not the receiver.
      • We needed to address an issue with exploitative Legendary Arcanes farming and ban-evasion account creation used to trade Legendary Arcanes. Other options we experimented with had the risk of innocent players getting caught in the crossfire of the ban-evasion subjects. When we took a look at Trading stats we found that a very small number of players below Mastery Rank 10 trade Legendary Arcanes, and therefore decided to go this route. This is purely a means of deterring the bad actors and ensuring legitimate trading for players.

Hotfix 32.2.7 (2022-12-15)

  • Fixed a rare crash that could occur while trading.

Update 32.0 (2022-09-07)

  • Fixed mentions of Platinum being capitalized in Trading windows.

Update 31.6 (2022-06-09)

Update 30.7 (2021-09-08)

  • Fixed replacing a Prime Blueprint on the Trading screen not always updating the Ducat value correctly.

Update 30.5 (2021-07-06)

  • Updated the Trade error message to “Failed to make offer; your trade partner already owns one or more of these items and cannot receive a duplicate.” when attempting to Trade a Skin that a player already owns.

Update 29.10 (2021-03-19)

  • Fixed a non-functional button prompt appearing while trading and using a controller.
  • Fixed the Trade window missing a background when accepting a Trade while in your Inventory.
  • Fixed camera breaking after exiting a Trade if you accepted the Trade from the Mod window.

Hotfix 29.5.1 (2020-11-19)

  • Fixed softlock that would occur if trying to Trade a Mod and Platinum in the same offer.

Update 28.2 (2020-07-14)

  • Fixed an issue with protective measures in The Steel Path mode being unoptimized (any accounts impacted have been cleared for Trading).

Update 28.0 (2020-06-11)

  • Potential fix towards Trade offer not updating locally on offer failure.

Update 27.4 (2020-05-01)

  • The Trading screen will now prompt you with a warning when you’re about to Trade an Arcane that is currently equipped.

Hotfix 27.3.6 (2020-03-31)

  • Fixed the Partner MR Locked message when Trading not stating the Mastery Rank. It will now appear as ‘PARTNER <MASTERY_RANK> LOCKED’.

Update 27.3 (2020-03-24)

  • Fixed the Trading Policy popup in the Trade screen coming up every time a Trade is opened for some players.

Update 27.2 (2020-03-05)

  • Added a “Trading Policy” that will appear when Trading for the first time! Safe trading tips have also been added to the Trade UI.
    • Trading is an essential part of Warframe and we felt it important to inform players on how to proceed with trading in a safe manner. All players will be presented with the “Trading Policy” window when trading for the first time ever (Mastery Rank 2 players who have just unlocked trading), and for the first time since downloading the update. This applies to any instance of trading in the Dojo and in Maroo’s Bazaar. Once you’ve accepted the Policy you may access it from the “Trading Policy” button when trading if desired.

Hotfix 25.8.1 (2019-10-09)

Hyena Change (Razorback mission only)

An Orokin Cell farming exploit was brought to our attention by not only players, but also our internal flagging system when such a method is tripped for misuse. In short, players were forcing the Hyena’s to spawn infinitely by entering/exiting rooms knowing that their Orokin Cell drop rate is 100%. As a result of this misuse, the Orokin Cell drop rate for the Hyena’s in the Razorback mission will diminish the more you spawn, to still allow for multiple drop attempts but without giving away the entire cake. Please note that players who are trade banned due to triggering this exploit will be manually unbanned after this Hotfix.

Update 25.2 (2019-06-19)

  • Fixed having 6 unranked Mods in the Trade slots appearing as fully rank after "the slots are full" message prompted, and accepting the Trade results in giving 1 max-ranked same Mod away instead of 6 unranked Mods, even when you didn't swap it.

Update 25.0 (2019-05-22)

2FA and Trading
  • You are now required to have 2FA enabled to trade with fellow Tenno. It is required to protect both parties from participating in account invasion-related situations. When both players have 2FA enabled, it helps to ensure that the persons trading are the legitimate account holders trading their own items.

Update 24.6 (2019-04-04)

  • Typing an item name (ie Stradavar Prime, Equinox Prime, etc) in the Trade screen search bar will now display all Relics that contain that item.

Update 24.5 (2019-03-14)

  • The Trading screen now contains a Riven category and specific search functionality!

Update 24.4 (2019-03-08)

UI Changes & Fixes
  • The Dojo Trading screen has received an overhaul!
    • 6 Trading Slots instead of 5!
    • Faster item selection responsiveness and improved UI to help you easily find the items you want to Trade.

Update 18.5 (2016-03-04)

  • A search bar has been added to Trading item sub-menus!

Update 11.2 (2013-12-04)

  • Changes to Trading confirmation pop-ups:
    • We now show rarity of Mods as well as Rank, to prevent “Fusion Core Fraud”.
    • More visibility to the items involved in the trade to increase awareness at every step of the trade.
    • Switched order of getting/giving for the trade accept confirmation, to be consistent with the new offer confirmation. What you are **giving is always first, what you are getting is second (matches the slots as well, giving on top, getting on the bottom)

Update 11.1 (2013-11-27)

  • Added gamepad support to Trading.

Update 11.0 (2013-11-20)

  • Introduced
