Warframe Trading Guide (2026): Rules, Trade Tax, What Trades, and Cross-Platform
The rules, the tax, what trades, and cross-platform
Last Updated on September 11, 2026
The short answer
You need Mastery Rank 2 and two-factor authentication. You get one trade per day per Mastery Rank, reset at 00:00 UTC, in a Clan Dojo or at Maroo’s Bazaar, up to six items a side. Every item carries a credit tax the receiver pays, from 2,000 for a common mod to 1,000,000 for a Legendary one; Maroo adds 10 percent, a Dojo whatever its Treasurer sets. Cross-platform trading is on for everyone, with the one exception that platinum still cannot cross some platforms.

| Item | Common | Uncommon | Rare | Legendary |
|---|---|---|---|---|

What you need first
| Requirement | Why |
|---|---|
| Mastery Rank 2 and 2FA | Both, or the trade window never opens. |
| A Clan Dojo trading post or Maroo's Bazaar (Mars) | The only two places; Railjack Dojo rooms do not count. |
The rules
- Trades per day equal your Mastery Rank (Founders get two more). The count resets at 00:00 UTC.
- Six items per side per trade; platinum counts as one item and only one platinum offer per trade.
- The receiver pays the credit tax on each item. Maroo's Bazaar adds a flat 10 percent; a Dojo adds 0 to 100 percent set by the Clan Treasurer.
- Starter platinum and gifted platinum never trade. Only platinum you bought or earned in trades does.
- Cross-platform: you can trade and gift with anyone regardless of Cross Platform Save status; platinum still cannot move to or from some platforms.
A clean trade, step by step
- Agree the price in a whisper first: item, rank, quantity, platinum.
- Invite the other player to your Dojo (or meet at Maroo's) and stand at the trading post.
- Both sides place their items. Check the rank, the quantity and the exact name; Rivens show their stats on hover.
- Hover the platinum offer to confirm the number before you accept.
- Accept, and both players confirm again. Credits for the tax leave your account on completion.
What trades and what does not
| Trades | Never trades |
|---|---|
| Prime parts, blueprints and full sets | Built Warframes and built weapons (except through a converted Lich or Sister) |
| Mods, Rivens, Requiem mods, Arcanes | Flawed mods, Umbra mods, Primed mods from Daily Tribute |
| Relics, Ayatan sculptures and stars | Weapons with a Forma, Catalyst or Lens on them |
| Kuva, Tenet and Coda weapons via a converted adversary | Starter and gifted platinum |
| Syndicate augments and weapons, Imprints, Fish, Gems | Most non-Prime weapons and resources |
| Platinum | Credits, Endo, Forma |
Best weapons
| Weapon | Why |
|---|---|
| Kuva Nukor | Trades through a converted Lich in the Crimson Branch; the buyer fights it. |
| Rubico Prime | Parts and blueprints trade; the built weapon does not. |
Tips that save runs
- Price on warframe.market, not Region chat; list a little under the lowest to sell today.
- Keep 1,000,000 credits spare before you buy a Legendary mod; the tax is on you.
- Screenshot the trade window on big Riven deals.
- Vaulted Prime sets rise until Varzia brings them back; time your sales with the Prime Resurgence page.
Mistakes that waste runs
- Turning up without 2FA.
- Trying to trade a weapon you already Forma'd.
- Accepting on the first screen without hovering the platinum figure.
- Spending a day's trades on single parts when the set would sell in one.
