The Warframe Nightmare Mods are very peculiar and they are different from the others because they have dual stats. This means they bring double benefit, although they usually have stats that other mods bring in greater quantity, the science behind these is to getthe extra benefit on certain weapons and Warframes in which they might fit perfectly. For example, Barrel Diffusion (120% Multishot) or Gunslinger (72% Fire Rate); these mods give more benefits by themselves as normal mods but Lethal Torrent (Nightmare Mod) provides both Multishot and Fire Rate even when they are a bit weaker.
How to get Nightmare Mods completing Challenges
To get these mods you must complete Nightmare Missions. This game mode is a challenge because players must complete the mission whilst missing something important or have different difficulties. Amongst these challenges you will find the following:
Vampire Mode
Tennos’ lives will be reduced in 1.5% of their maximum HP every second. Enemies’ deaths, including Infested Runners exploding, will recover 15% health to the entire Tenno team. It’s recommended to take warframes with the great area of effect abilities to hit many targets at once. Ember and Equinox are really good for this mode.
Timer Mode
In this mode players have to beat the clock, they have five minutes to complete the mission. Eliminating enemies awards extra time. It’s better to play this mode with quick warframes, such as Volt and Nezha, they are fast and they’ll help you complete this mission in no time.
Energy Drain Mode
Warframes’ energy will be gradually reduced. It’s a good idea to take Trinity as support to provide energy for the team.
No Shield Mode
As hinted by the name of the mode, players can’t use their shields, making any damage enter directly into their health bar. This is one of the hardest modes because warframes are kind of weak when it comes to having zero protection. It’s useful to take support warframes like Trinity or tanks like Rhino, Inaros, and Valkyr. Another option would be to use Loki and make use of its invisibility to evade enemies.
Low Gravity Mode
The scenario’s gravity will be at 50% of its normal value, changing physics a bit. Jumps are slower and the movement speed will make you feel like a turtle. This game mud is really fun because the environmental change does not only affect players but also enemies and items too!
High-Level Enemies Mode
As the name implies, the spawning enemies are going to be much higher level than the player, it’s a dangerous mode and you have to proceed with caution. It’s good to take warframes with nice CC (Crowd Control) such as Rhino and Nyx.
Enemy Damage Buff Mode
Enemies are going to deal much more damage than normal. It would be good to choose tanky warframes or those that have great CC abilities to make it easier for the Tenno.
Longer Reload Mode
The reload speed of weapons will be dramatically affected and will take more time than normal. However, here’s the trick: Volt is capable of accelerating its recharge speed with its acceleration abilities so this penalty won’t be as much as a nuisance when it comes to taking on this challenge.
But, where can I find Nightmare Missions and get the Mods?
Each planet has a specific node that will provide a mission in Nightmare Mode for you to complete. Every eight hours the mission will change. These missions are a treasure because not only they can benefit the player with equipment but the items can also be sold for Platinum. The following is a list of the Nightmare Missions and the mods they reward.
Planets and Nightmare Mods Reward
Earth, Mars, Venus, and Mercury have missions in Nightmare Mode in easy difficulty, so the challenges are not really hard. In these planets you may find the following mods:
- Ice Storm +40% Magazine Capacity +40% Cold
- Stunning Speed +40% Reload speed +10% Status chance
- Hammer Shot +60% Critical Damage +40% Status Chance
- Wild Fire +20% Magazine Capacity +60 Heat
- Accelerated Blast +60% Fire Rate +60% Puncture
- Blaze +60% Damage +60% Heat
- Chilling Reload +60% Cold +40% Reload speed
Jupiter, Ceres, Phobos, Saturn, The Void, and Europa have medium difficulty Nightmare Mode missions and you can find the following mods:
- Drifting Contact increase combo duration by +10 secs +40% Status chance
- Seeking Fury +15% Reload Speed +1.2 Punch Through
- Armored Agility +15 sprint Speed +45% Armor
- Shred +30% Fire Rate (x2 for bows) +1.2 Punch Through
- Rending Strike +60% Slash +80% Puncture
- Fortitude +20% Chance to resist knockdown +80% Shield Recharge
Sedna, Pluto, Neptune, Lua, Uranus, and Eris, these are the places where the missions are the hardest and as a reward, you may get the following:
- Streamlined Form+60% Holster Rate +15% Slide -15% Friction
- Animal Instinct +30 Loot Radar +18 Enemy Radar
- Vigor +120 Shield Capacity +120 Health
- Lethal Torrent +60 Fire Rate +60% Multishot
- Focus Energy +40 Channeling Efficiency +60% Electricity
- Constitution +40% Knockdown Recovery +28% Ability duration
In Conclusion
These mods are treasured and useful, some more than others. Mods like Drifting Contact, Hammer Shot, and Lethal Torrent are highly valued in the Trade Chat and they are bought for Platinum. If you have these mods you may consider to sell them for the most expensive currency of the game.
It’s definitely worth to complete the Nightmare Missions and try to beat them alone or with friends. Not only you challenge yourself but also the tons of fun and rewards you’re going to get. Bring your friends, prepare your warframes and get ready for the Nightmare, Tenno.
Tips N4G
Learning how to trade in Warframe is, like everything in Digital Extremes' free-to-play shooter, a complicated process. But the rewards are absolutely worth it. If you know how to trade, you can equip your Warframe and weapons with the best mods, acquire rare blueprints, and even earn platinum, the premium in-game currency used for everything from buying Warframes directly to purchasing cool cosmetics. Even if you're just a casual player, knowing how to trade in Warframe will open up a ton of options for you.
Unlike similar games, Warframe doesn't have a central auction house to facilitate the exchanges between players. But have no fear, this guide will teach you the two basic ways trading happens in Warframe while also pointing you to handy resources that'll help you determine what's a fair price.
Warframe Market
How to unlock trading in Warframe
Before you can become a merchant mogul in Warframe, you'll need to first reach Mastery Rank 2 on your profile by leveling up several Warframes or weapons to level 30. If you're a brand new player, don't worry, this should only take a few hours.
Your Mastery Rank is an overall indication of your progress through Warframe, but it also determines how many trades you can complete per day. At Mastery Rank 2, you are able to trade twice per day and that number increases by one with each new rank you achieve. A Master Rank 20 player, for example, can trade 20 times a day.
Keep in mind that your Mastery Rank determines how many transactions you can make in a day. In a given trade, each player can offer up to a maximum of five items to trade.
How to trade in Warframe
Trading in Warframe happens in one of two locations: A clan dojo or Maroo's Bazaar. We'll cover the clan dojo method first since it's the most common way of trading.
Most players prefer to trade their items for platinum (often written as 'p'), Warframe's in-game currency. You can buy platinum for real money or sell items to make some.
In Warframe, clans are basically player-run guilds that you join to find friends to play with and access all sorts of handy features—one of the them being access to a trading post. This structure, which is placed in your clan dojo (you might have to ask someone in your clan where it is if you can't find it), facilitates trading with any other player that is physically in your dojo.
The basic steps of a trade are:
- Find someone you want to buy from or sell to
- Decide which player will invite the other to their dojo and then have them send an invite
- If you are inviting the other player to your dojo, head to your dojo from the Star Chart and, once there, hover over that player's icon and select the option to invite them to your dojo
- Once the other player enters your dojo, head to your trading post and select their name to open the trade window
- Conduct your trade
How do I find people to trade with?
This is the most complicated step as there are a variety of ways to find people to trade with in Warframe. But, generally, there are three main approaches.
The first method of finding trades is Trade Chat, a channel within Warframe's chat interface where players are constantly sharing items they are looking to buy or sell. To access Trade Chat, open the chat window and select the button that looks like two arrows going in a circle, and you will be instantly bombarded with thousands of players advertising items. Depending on what you're looking to do, you can select the magnifying glass icon on the top left of the chat window to set up a chat filter, which will help you look for specific items or buyers and sellers based on specific keywords.
Let's take a look at some basic chat lingo.
WTB means 'want to buy.'
WTS means 'want to sell.'
WTT means 'want to trade.'
PC means 'price check'—the player is wanting others to tell them what they'd pay for an item.
So, if you want to make Trade Chat a little easier to read, you might filter it to show 'WTS' so you see only what players are trying to sell.
You'll notice most items are encased in square brackets, which you can click on to see a tooltip describing what the item specifically is. You can do this yourself by putting these brackets around the name of your item as you type it into chat.
Warframe Best Mods To Sell For Platinum 2017
Once you have found a player in Trade Chat that you'd like to trade with, you can whisper them to begin the trade or haggle over price. Once everything is agreed upon, reference the steps from the last section to actually complete the trade.
The second method of finding trades is Warframe.Market, a third-party auction house where you can search for items to buy and see a listing of everyone who is selling that item. From there, you can either copy a message to paste in the chat window that will message them and offer to trade, or, if you register an account, you can message them through the website. You can also create your own listings to sell items, and players will then message you either through the website or in-game offering to trade. It's very convenient.
One drawback with Warframe.Market is that, while there is a way to see if people are online or not, it's not always accurate. You'll sometimes message players who are actually offline, AFK, or doesn't play in the same timezone as you. It's not a big problem, though, because there's always other people selling similar items.
The third method of finding trades is the official Warframe forums. Players will make threads advertising items they have to sell or want to buy and you can reply with your offer to trade and then schedule a time to meet in-game to complete the transaction.
What the hell is trade tax?
Welcome to the annoying downside of trading. Each time you receive an item through trade in Warframe, it is subjected to a tax paid out in credits, the basic currency in Warframe. This tax scales depending on the rarity of the item you are receiving.
In most trades, both players will have to pay a trade tax for the items they are receiving, even if the item is platinum.
Fortunately, this tax is quite small and ranges from 500 to 8,000 credits for most items. However, legendary mods and rank 3 Arcanes are subject to a staggering one million credit trade tax. This chart on the Warframe wiki breaks down the tax for each type of item.
Additionally, some clans may charge an additional clan tax on trades. This is pretty uncommon, thankfully. But if you are invited to someone's dojo that does have a clan tax, you may wish to invite them to your dojo instead or cancel the trade outright.
How to trade using Maroo's Bazaar
If you don't have a dojo to host trades with, one option is Maroo's Bazaar. This relay station is currently orbiting Mars. When entering Maroo's Bazaar, you'll sometimes be given a choice of an instance to join based on population. Always choose one that is 'busy' so that you're with as many players as possible.
Maroo's Bazaar is a unique place in Warframe in that it acts like a flea market where players can hangout and organize trades in person. When entering the main lobby after spawning on the landing pad, you'll find Maroo herself and other players looking to trade. As you walk around, you'll see Warframes with their hand raised, indicating that they have items for sale that you can see listed above their head. If you want one of those items, you can whisper that player to negotiate a price.
This area is typically friendly to haggling, so feel free to negotiate a good price.
You can raise your hand and sell items to players by holding the 'Q' key which brings up the gear wheel. You'll see a new option labelled 'Set up shop' which will lead you to the trade screen where you can select up to five items to put on display. Once chosen, your Warframe will raise their hand and you can find a visible spot to stand so other players can check out what you have.
Whether you're buying or selling in Maroo's Bazaar, the trade interface is the exact same as the one used in the clan dojo.
One thing to keep in mind is that Maroo's Bazaar is subject to an extra 10 percent trade tax.
What items can I trade?
Not everything you own is available to be traded to other players. Before you go looking to sell or buy an item, check this list to make sure it is actually tradeable.
Here are some items that you can't trade:
Here are some items that you can't trade:
- Resources like endo, ferrite, nitain, etc.
- Regular (non-prime) parts for Warframes
- Forma, Orokin Catalysts and Reactors and their requisite blueprints
- Platinum exchanged for platinum
- Platinum given for promotional purposes or as a free gift when registering a new accountist
How can I make sure I get the best deal?
Because Warframe doesn't have a centralized economy, you're always at risk of paying too much or getting too little for an item. To prevent getting ripped off, there are a few tools that help track the going rate for certain items.
First of all, always double check prices on Warframe.Market to make sure it's within an acceptable range of other listings. Another useful tool is the website Nexus-Stats, which scrapes the Warframe Trade Chat to gather information about the current prices people are listing their items for. I'd also recommend joining an active and populated clan that you can go to for advice. If unsure of whether a deal is fair or not, your fellow clanmates should be able to help you decide.

Warframe Selling Prime Parts
Seller:By:Elytron_Ultimatum_Bundle PCNew message
I'm sharing my ways to earn platinum in Warframe. It's not that easy , or it might be easy for you. But I'm sure it will help you alot.
There are Ways to Earn Platinum
- Syndicate.
- Vault Runs.
- Farming Prime Parts.
- LoR (Law of Retribution).
- Riven Mods.
- Buy and Sell.
- Buy Platinum using real Money (I don't do this, but I still included it on the list. There will be an explanation for it).
First one is Syndicate
You have 6 syndicates. Steel meridian, arbiters, cephalon, perrin sequence, red veil, and new loka. And i think you're only allowed to use 2 syndicates. My syndicates are Steel meridian and red veil. Well, what I basically do is, if I have free time. I farm syndicate points. Usually you get 3k-5k per mission on the syndicate mission list. Then, if you already maxed all of your syndicates, which is 132,000 per syndicate. You can sell them. But you can only sell archwing weapon parts, mods, weapon, & scenes.
This is my price on each of them:
- Archwing Weapon Parts = 5p each
- Mods= 10p-15p each
- Weapon/s - Secondary = 25p/30p , Primary&Melee= 30p-35p
- Scenes = I'm not really sure about the price, but i see traders sell it for 40p-50p. (I haven't really tried to sell a scene)
Also, you really wouldn't notice that your syndicates are maxed out if you're doing random missions.
Vault Runs
You can get the keys in the orokin lab on your dojo. You can find and buy those keys. (Ex: Bleeding Dragon Key, Decaying Dragon Key etc.) Gather a squad. The squad must have all the keys. You can be the bleeding, the other one should be decaying, and so on. Get a mission in the Derelict. I prefer capture/exterminate. But well, just go for capture(cuz it's the fastest way). Search the whole damn map. Until you get to see a vault. It needs a key to open it. You can get mods. Like transient fortitude, blind rage, narrow minded, overextended and so on. Well, this mods costs about 20-30p, or sometimes 15p, worst case 10p. :( Well atleast you get the plat LOL.
Farm Prime Parts
The title says it. Farm Prime Parts and then , ofc, its freakin obvious. SELL IT. You can also check the price of the prime part you got at Warframe Market.
Law of Retribution
Get a squad. 8 party members. Don't know how LoR works? Go watch youtube, then come back here. Do 2 LoRs. The normal one, and the nightmare. It's simple. You get arcanes. You..Get.Arc.anes. Sell it. Check the price. If you're lucky, you get to have a grace,avenger or energize. That my friend is an easy platinum. Arcane Energize costs 300p-450p. Grace? 130-150. Avenger? About 200-250. The normal(not rare) Arcanes that you can get costs about a 20platinum - 100platinum.
Riven Mods
This is a new thing in warframe. Most likely. 'How to get rich in warframe instantly' Please, do sorties every 24 hours, basically everyday? Well yeah everyday. You have a chance to get a veiled riven mod. Rifle ,Pistol, Shotgun, & Melee. Okay, I'm gonna start the pricing on the veiled ones.
- Veiled Rifle = 30p -35p
- Veiled Pistol = 15p-25p
- Veiled Shotgun = 80p-120p
- Veiled Melee = 60-80p
So, if you want to sell just the veiled ones. Then that's the pricing. Guys correct me if I'm wrong. It's okay. But usually, that's the price that i usually see on the trading section. BUT If you want to continue on. Do the missions on that veiled mod. If you're lucky to have a good stats. Then, easy plats. Worst part is. If you have a good stats on that mod. But the weapon is not that really popular. Example the vasto (guys this is just an example). Expect a lower offer. Also if you get a weapon and has a bad stat. You can also reroll it until you get the nice stats. BUT see also the stats of the weapon(not the riven). Why? Because if that weapon is a crit / status build. And yo you get a stat of a +crit +status. Then the expected price would be higher. Also, farm kuvas. Lot's of lots of kuva(It's for rerolling purposes). Don't know the price? Join the facebook group. Warframe International Market Group, you can also post it there and do an auction. You can also ask ingame. Don't do so much sorties? You can also buy veiled rivens. Prices are listed above.
Buy and Sell
Buy cheap, sell it more expensive than the older price.
Title says it guys. If you have so much plats now. Buy something. What I usually buy is rivens. Well you also do it with prime sets or parts. But for me? Rivens. I buy bad stat rivens. Reroll it until the stats are good and sell it more expensive. Same with the prime set/s or prime part/s. You get to buy a 10p part, sell it for 15p. That's all.
Buy Platinum using Real Mone
Well, if you have THE MONEH, you can buy plats using money. Buying platinum using real money is also a way to get platinum. I wouldn't really recommend this. Because maybe some of you are gonna use your moms credit card and buy platinum lol. 'Mom, i saw this guide, that i'm gonna buy platinum using money' wtf. Well sh. Usually, the ones who buy platinum using money are those who have jobs or maybe you really have alot of money. LOL .
Warframe, as many free to play games, has its way of winning money for the company. This time we will be talking about Platinum, the currency we can buy with real money.
You can buy Platinum in many different packages and as you can get almost anything in Warframe, you can also get Platinum without spending a single penny. I’m going to talk briefly about the ways of earning this currency so you can spend it anyway you’d like to.
Buying Warframe Platinum:
This is the main way to get Platinum, of course, with real money. It is thanks to people that buy Platinum that you can try the methods below. However, there is a twist! In the daily login system, there is a change to obtain Platinum Discount Vouchers, which give you up to a 75% discount on your next Platinum purchase. It’s extremely useful to higher the value of your purchase, or even if you’re a little short on money since the lowest it can get is $1.25 for 75 Platinum.

Warframe Trading:
If you’re the type of player that spends zero real money on video games, this is your top choice here to get Platinum. Warframe is a land of farming, many things to gather are just there waiting for you and your Tenno. Nevertheless, it’s no surprise that there are players who don’t want to spend time gathering. Or maybe there are some limited items that can only be obtained during certain times.
Players that want these items without spending time and effort are offered with trades. They use the Platinum they bought before to buy the in-game items they want, and sometimes it’s even cheaper to buy with Platinum than purchasing stuff from the market. Also, nice players can opt to buy things with Platinum just to help others get that sweet currency.
Whichever the reason, I’ll list the most lucrative commodities that you can trade:
Prime Parts:
- These are the main trading items exchanged for Platinum. Prime parts can be obtained from Void Relics, which contain up to 6 different parts of blueprints. Some Void Relics are really easy to obtain but the rarer parts can be a pain to get since you need the specific relic and enough luck to get the desired part. Some Relics are vaulted, which means they can’t be obtained anymore, adding more rarity to the relic.
- Players who want to obtain the vaulted parts, –or simply don’t want to spend all that time farming– usually trade their Platinum for these. If you really want some Platinum, prepare yourself to spend some time gathering. Additionally, if you’re one of the fre who still have vaulted relics, or vaulted parts, you can probably make a good profit out of them since there are some items that can be traded for as much as 600 Platinum –which is a lot… Like… A LOT–.
Mods:
Mods are another great source of Platinum income. Although not as lucrative as prime parts in most cases, these are a good option since it’s easier to farm them.
- The priciest mods to sell are usually Primed Mods, which are normal mod variants that have a higher stat cap. These mods are pretty rare, they can only be gotten from Baro Ki’Teer, a trader that appears every two weeks and bring a randomized collection of mods, weapons and cosmetics, and certain milestones in the login system. These mods can go up to 400 Platinum if they are completely maxed. So you can buy the mod, max it and then sell it.
- Other easier to get mods (and cheaper) are the Corrupted mods, which are obtained from Void Key Vaults, secret areas locked behind an item called Void Key. The corrupted mods give some pretty nice status in exchange of lowering other similar status.
- The last mods I’m going to mention are the Riven Mods, randomized mods that offer pretty ridiculous stats for specific weapons. Some can be pretty useless, but others can help a weapon become completely overpower. Needless to say, the OP ones can fetch quite a sum, but the safest bet (for you) is to sell a Veiled Riven Mod, a mod that still hasn’t have its stats revealed, which usually goes for 40 Platinum. It doesn’t seem like much, but since it’s not that hard to get Riven Mods, it’s worth it. You can still take the risk and unveil the mod if you want, there is a chance for you to hit a gold vein right there!
Devstream:
Finally, the last way to get Platinum is the lottery. Yes, you read right: Digital Extremes do regular streams where they talk about some things related to upcoming content, design decisions, and many topics about Warframe.
The lottery comes from the prizes they give during the stream. They usually make three draws of 1000 Platinum and any of the people watching the stream has a shot at winning. Aside from the three Platinum prizes, they also make one final draw for a Prime Access Pack, which is basically a subscription type of package which gives you Platinum in addition to a lot of other featured items.
Trading like a Boss:
If you want to skip ALL those things and save time, you can also trade with players outside of the game: it could be cheaper thank you think and it’s definitely safe and easy to use. As it’s better to use a secure platform to trade from player to player. From my experience, I recommend PlayerAuctions because the website has been online as one of the best and safer trading platforms for over 18 years and it has secured over 3 million transactions among players!
Warframe Platinum Marketplace
Wrapping things up:
Warframe is a wonderful free to play game because it’s actually FREE to play. You don’t have many limitations to enjoy the gameplay and your time being a Tenno, and you can even obtain the paid currency without spending a cent. The money is just there for you to pick it, or should I say, for you to farm it?
The ways I talked about before are simple and easy to do, they just require a bit of time and effort. But even if you farm items to sell them, consider throwing a couple of bucks into the game so the developers can continue giving us the fantastic and free experience that is Warframe.
