Warframe Platinum Guide: How to Earn Platinum for Free
Platinum is Warframe's premium currency, but unlike most games, players can trade it with each other. That means you can earn platinum by playing and selling what you farm. Here's how players build up their platinum without spending money.

Prime parts and relics
Void relics are opened in Void Fissure missions and reward Prime parts. Rare parts and full Prime sets sell for platinum, especially for newly released or vaulted Primes. Refining relics with Void Traces improves your odds of rare drops.
What sells well
Popular items to sell for platinum:
- Prime parts and complete Prime sets.
- Rare and maxed mods, including Primed mods and Rivens.
- Arcanes from endgame activities.
- Ducats are another option: trade Prime junk to Baro Ki'Teer's items.
Price your items
Check current prices on a trading site before listing. Prices change with new releases and when items are vaulted or unvaulted. Selling a little below the cheapest listing sells quickly; holding vaulted items can earn more later.
Trade safely
Trades happen in a clan dojo or a relay's trading post using the in-game trade window. Double-check the item and amount before confirming. There's a daily trade limit based on your mastery rank.
Spend platinum wisely
Good early buys are Warframe and weapon slots and Orokin Catalysts or Reactors for gear you'll keep. Most Warframes and weapons can be farmed for free, so avoid spending platinum on things you can get by playing.
