Warframe ducats and platinum guide
Prime junk value, Baro timing, and when to sell parts vs trade platinum.
Three ways to spend a prime part
Junk for ducats (Baro / void trader sinks), sell for platinum, or hold for set completion. The ducat desk ranks curated parts so those three options are comparable instead of gut feel.
Baro and timing
Ducat value spikes when you need Baro inventory. Holding junk for a distant visit can lose to selling platinum now — especially if set demand is firm. Pair with Best value now for worldstate context.
Live vs Demo
Demo mode is the default. Live warframe.market quotes are gated; when live is off, labels stay honest. Never treat demo spreads as tradeable platinum. Cross-check on the market desk when live.
Triage workflow
Use prime junk triage for hold / junk / sell decisions, then inventory checklist for missing set parts. Flip liquid plat on the flipping desk when spreads clear your minimum.
Practice loop
Rank on ducats → mark owned parts → junk only clear Baro fodder → sell or trade the rest. Revisit after Baro weeks when ducat sinks change.
