The '''Trade System''' allows players to trade [[Prime|Prime Warframe]] [[Blueprints]], Prime Weapon Parts, [[Mods]], {{Icon|Item|Platinum|text}}, [[Void Relics]], alternate [[:Category:Helmet#Arcane|Arcane Helmets]], [[Companion]] Imprints, and [[Special Weapons]] ([[Syndicate]], [[Wraith]], [[Vandal]] or [[Prisma]]) at the Clan Dojo's Trading Post, or at the specified trading relay ([[Maroo's Bazaar]]). There is a minimum [[Mastery Rank|Mastery]] requirement of Rank 2 in order to trade, and the number of available trade transactions increases by one each Mastery Rank. Up to six items can be traded per transaction and a trade tax is commissioned to complete the trade. The Trading Post can be found in the Place Decoration tab if you are an Architect in your [[Clan]].

<section end=intro />
==Requirements==
 
  +
{{clr}}
* Both players must have a [[Mastery Rank]] of 2 or higher (must wait for daily reset).
 
  +
{{tocright}}
* Both players must have available trades for the day (resets daily).
 
  +
Players can also trade on Mars at [[Maroo's Bazaar]] (hold the [[Gear]] key, default {{Key|Q}} on PC, and click "SET UP SHOP").
* Both players must have enough credits to cover the trade tax. (see notes below)
 
* One of the players must have access to a [[Dojo]] with a [[Decorations#Trading Post|Trading Post]].
 
   
  +
==Prerequisites==
==To Initiate a Trade==
 
  +
There is a minimum [[Mastery Rank|Mastery]] requirement of Rank 2 in order to trade.
* Open your Keys menu on the main screen.
 
* Select your "[[Clan Key]]" and use the key.
 
* Press "Play now".
 
* Once inside your dojo, use the invite command "/inv name" to invite your trading partner. Alternatively you can right-click their name on the chat window and select "invite".
 
* Navigate to your Dojo's [[Decorations#Trading Post|Trading Post]] and when the option appears activate it with your "use" key.
 
* Select your trading partner from the list, and click "Trade".
 
* After your partner accepts, you will see 3 trade slots for each player. Click one of the trade slots to select the item you wish to trade. It will give you the option of choosing [[Mods]], [[Platinum]] or [[Keys]].
 
* Repeat for the other two trade slots if necessary.
 
* When you are finished with your side of the offer, click the "Offer" button.
 
* Your trading partner will now be able to review what you have offered, take the time to make sure you are getting what you asked for, it is easier to prevent a scam or honest mistake than it is to fix it.
 
* Your trading partner will now have the ability to select their 3 trade items. The process is the same as above.
 
* When your trading partner has finished and clicks "Offer" as well, you will be able to review what you have offered, and what your trading partner has offered. Take the time to make sure you are getting what you asked for, it is easier to prevent a scam or honest mistake than it is to fix it.
 
* When you are satisfied with what you are both offering, click "Accept Trade".
 
* The trade is now complete!
 
   
  +
As of {{ver|25}}, 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:
==Notes and Other Information==
 
  +
#Go to the [https://www.warframe.com/user Official Warframe website's Account Management page] and log into your PC account if needed.
All trades will be charged a trade tax. Tax increases based on rarity of the mod, or tier of the key.
 
  +
#Click on “USER INFORMATION” side tab if it is not active already.
* The tax on mods is 2000 credits for common, 4000 for uncommon, and 8000 for rare.
 
  +
#You should see there<br /> “Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) and receive a free in-game cosmetic: '''Enable'''” - click on "Enable".
* The tax on keys is 2000 credits for Tier 1, 4000 for Tier 2, and 8000 for Tier 3.
 
  +

  +
#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<br/>“TWO-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION HAS BEEN ENABLED FOR YOUR ACCOUNT.”

  +
==Trades Per Day==
* Your available trades reset each day at the same time as revives and the daily login reward (currently 7pm EST).
 
  +
[[File:Trading_Post.png|thumb|The Trading Post as it appears in-game.]]
How to find trade partners:
 
  +
The number of trades that can be made per day is the same as the player's [[Mastery Rank]], with exception to [[Founders]], who get an additional two trades per day. The trade limit is refreshed daily at GMT 00:00 and is not affected by the number of items exchanged in each transaction. Furthermore, ranking up will provide an additional trade even if the daily limit has been reached.
* You can find trade partners by browsing the [https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/forum/180-trading-post/ Warframe Forums Trading Post] on the official forums.
 
  +
* You can also use the in game chat tab "Trading".
 
  +
==Tradables==
* You can also use the wikia forum trading tab.
 
  +
Trades are charged for a trade tax which amount in {{Icon|Item|Credits|text}} based on the rarity of the commodity. Players will need to pay the respective tax for the item they ''receive'' in the trade. Additionally, a [[Clan]] tax can be set by the Clan that the Clan Dojo is associated with.

==Limitations==
  +
*For Warframes, players can only trade the respective [[Prime]] Warframe Blueprints. Parts that are crafted through any blueprints, and the fully built Warframes themselves, cannot be traded.
  +
*For Weapons, only blueprints and parts for the [[Prime]], [[Wraith]], and [[Vandal]] weapon variants are tradeable.

  +
***These weapons, will remain tradeable even if recolored, customized with skins, [[attachments|cosmetic attachments]], modded with [[mods|regular weapon mods]], or freely used in the [[Simulacrum]], due to no affinity being gained from killing the spawned mobs. This is particularly useful for trying out expensive Syndicate and Prisma weapons to test their accuracy, attack speed/rate of fire, range/damage falloff, recoil, reload speed, or general handling characteristics without fear of losing the ability to sell or resell the weapons to other players later, if they are not to the user's liking.
  +
*Blueprints and Special Weapons cannot be traded to players who do not meet their [[Mastery Rank]] requirements.
  +
*[[Riven Mods]] requires both the trader and the recipient to have a Mastery Rank of 8 to trade.

Revision as of 12:54, 17 January 2020

The Trade System allows players to trade Prime Warframe Blueprints, Prime Weapon Parts, Mods, PlatinumLarge PlatinumVoid Relics, alternate Arcane Helmets, Companion Imprints, and Special Weapons (SyndicateWraithVandal or Prisma) at the Clan Dojo's Trading Post, or at the specified trading relay (Maroo's Bazaar). There is a minimum Mastery requirement of Rank 2 in order to trade, and the number of available trade transactions increases by one each Mastery Rank. Up to six items can be traded per transaction and a trade tax is commissioned to complete the trade. The Trading Post can be found in the Place Decoration tab if you are an Architect in your Clan.


Players can also trade on Mars at Maroo's Bazaar (hold the Gear key, default Q  on PC, and click "SET UP SHOP").

Prerequisites

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 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.”

Trades Per Day

Trading Post

The Trading Post as it appears in-game.

The number of trades that can be made per day is the same as the player's Mastery Rank, with exception to Founders, who get an additional two trades per day. The trade limit is refreshed daily at GMT 00:00 and is not affected by the number of items exchanged in each transaction. Furthermore, ranking up will provide an additional trade even if the daily limit has been reached.

Tradables

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 tax for the item they receive in the trade. Additionally, a Clan tax can be set by the Clan that the Clan Dojo is associated with.

Primed Mods such as Mod TT 20px Primed Flow are considered "Legendary Items", therefore costing a trade tax of Credits64 1,000,000. However, Primed Mods obtained from Daily Tribute cannot be traded.

All tradables are split into the following categories in game:

Amount of tax per commodity
Rarity Common Uncommon Rare, Riven Legendary
Tier Lith Meso Neo, Axi Eidolon Capture
FusionCorePackSilversingle Mods and Void Relics Credits64 2,000 Credits64 4,000 Credits64 8,000 Credits64 1,000,000

Ayatan Sculptures2 Credits64 4,000
Fish TBC
Orokin Derelict Keys TBC
PlatinumLarge Platinum3 Credits64 500 per unit of PlatinumLarge Platinum

1) Special Weapons must be unaltered by any Affinity, Forma, Lens, or Orokin Catalysts to be tradeable.
  2) Each Ayatan Star slotted into a Sculpture increases the trade tax by Credits64 2,000.
  3) Players cannot trade 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

  • For Warframes, players can only trade the respective Prime Warframe Blueprints. Parts that are crafted through any blueprints, and the fully built Warframes themselves, cannot be traded.
  • For Weapons, only blueprints and parts for the Prime, Wraith, and Vandal weapon variants are tradeable. Any other weapons and their blueprints or parts besides the Sheev Sheev, WolfSledge Wolf Sledge, Pathocyst Pathocyst, Quellor Quellor, Pennant Pennant, and Shedu Shedu cannot be traded.
    • The Syndicate, Prisma, and MaraDetron Mara Detron weapons are exceptions, and are considered Special Weapons, which are tradeable as a whole, but only if they are completely unranked with no affinity, and unaltered with no Forma, Lens, or Orokin Catalyst applied.
      • These weapons, will remain tradeable even if recolored, customized with skins, cosmetic attachments, modded with regular weapon mods, or freely used in the Simulacrum, due to no affinity being gained from killing the spawned mobs. This is particularly useful for trying out expensive Syndicate and Prisma weapons to test their accuracy, attack speed/rate of fire, range/damage falloff, recoil, reload speed, or general handling characteristics without fear of losing the ability to sell or resell the weapons to other players later, if they are not to the user's liking.
  • Blueprints and Special Weapons cannot be traded to players who do not meet their Mastery Rank requirements.
  • Riven Mods requires both the trader and the recipient to have a Mastery Rank of 8 to trade.
  • Relics can be traded regardless of them being vaulted or unvaulted.

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.

  • WTB - Want to buy
  • WTS - Want to sell
  • WTT(F) - Want to trade (for)
  • PC - Price check
  • PMO - Private Message Offer
  • OBO - "or best offer"
  • [...]p - "p" is simply short for Platinum and is normally prefixed by a numerical value, e.g. "100p" means '100 Platinum'.

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". See Chat for more information.

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

There is a number of trading boards available where players may post buy/sell offers, including third-party websites not associated with the game or the publisher. Notable ones are:

Personal Trading/Chat History

Main article: 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.

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

  • Only PC users are able to access the history.
  • The history is only available until the game is restarted.
  • The history is not accessible via the game, other applications have to be used (e.g. Windows Notepad).
  • Only certain information is recorded, including:
    • The names of players with whom you were in a squad.
    • The names of players with whom you had private conversations.
    • Your outgoing private messages.
    • The names of players you traded with.
    • Names and quantities of items (including Platinum) that you both bought and sold when trading.
    • Names of items that you bought from the Market.
    • Names of items that you attempted building in the Foundry.
    • Amounts of Credits Credits and OrokinDucats Orokin Ducats received when selling items from your Inventory or from a Ducat kiosk in a Relay.
  • No messages in public chat channels, such as Clan, Recruiting or Trading, nor any incoming private messages are recorded.

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:

  • ChatRedux::AddTab: Adding tab with channel name: F
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


  • PRIVMSG
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


  • MatchingServiceWeb::ProcessSquadMessage received JOIN message

Trade Ban

Players may get automatically tagged by the game's anti-cheat system if they acquire 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.

Tips

Patch History

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.

  • 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.
