Whether you’re a new Tenno or a seasoned player, understanding how to earn and use Platinum is essential.** ---- **1. What is Platinum?** Platinum is the premium currency of Warframe, and it can be used for various purposes, including buying Warframes, weapons, cosmetics, slots, and other in-game items. **2. Earning Platinum** While you can purchase Platinum with real money, there are ways to earn it in-game without spending a dime. Here are some methods: //Trading// Player-to-player trading is the primary way to earn Platinum. You can trade various items with other players in the Trading Post (accessible from your Orbiter). Here's what you can trade: - **Prime parts**: Farm Prime parts from [[guide:voidrelics | Void Relics]] and sell them to other players. - **Mods**: Sell rare or valuable mods (such as **Corrupted mods**) to interested buyers. - **Syndicate Augments**: Syndicates offer **augment mods** that can be traded. - **Riven Mods**: High-quality Riven mods can fetch a good price. - **Arcanes**: Farm [[guide:eidolons | Eidolons]] for Arcanes and sell them. - **Ayatan Sculptures**: Fill Ayatan sculptures with stars and trade them. - **Special Resources**: Some rare resources (i.e. **Nitain Extract**) can be traded. //Warframe Market// Use external websites like [[https://warframe.market/ | warframe.market]] to check current prices and find potential buyers. List your items for sale and negotiate with other players. //Login Rewards// Occasionally, you’ll receive Platinum discounts as login rewards. Use these discounts to get more platinum at a cheaper price. //Selling Prime Sets// Farm complete Prime sets (Warframes, weapons, companions) and sell them. Prime sets are always in high demand, and can give you a decent amount of Platinum. //Partake in Events// Occasionally, special alerts or [[guide:invasions | invasions]] can offer Platinum as a reward, so complete those when they show up for free platinum. **3. Spending Platinum** Use your platinum wisely. - **Warframe and Weapon Slots**: Prioritize buying additional slots, so you can have more weapons and Warframes in your roster. - **Cosmetics**: Customize your Warframes with skins, armor sets, and other cosmetics. In the community, there's a community dedicated to customizing their Warframes, called **Fashionframe**. This is usually aimed at endgame users, though. - **Boosters**: Purchase resource and affinity boosters. If you wish to get into trading with other players, these items will all require a **trading tax**. - **Prime Sets**: As mentioned above, these are always in demand, and for good reason. - **Riven Mods**: [[guide:rivens | Riven mods]] are **unique** mods for weapons that are earned through unveiling the mod and completing its challenge. These can be highly sought after, if the rolls are good enough. **4. Be Cautious** Be wary of scams and always double-check trade offers. Avoid trading with suspicious players, or those who violate the game’s rules! ---- **Remember, Platinum is a valuable resource, and earning it requires effort and strategy. Trade wisely, enjoy the game, and may your Platinum stash grow!**
