Baro Ki’Teer and Ducats

Baro Ki’Teer is a traveling merchant, also called the Void Trader. He is not always around. Instead he visits one of the Relays at fixed intervals. He sells things you cannot get anywhere else, above all strong Primed mods. You pay with Orokin Ducats and credits. You get Ducats by turning in leftover Prime parts at a kiosk in the Relay.

The key terms in short:

Baro Ki’Teer

A trader who stands in a Relay for up to 48 hours every two weeks. His stock changes with every visit.

Orokin Ducats

Baro’s currency. You only get it for Prime parts. Ducats cannot be traded with other players.

Ducat kiosk

Two kiosks in the Relay where you exchange Prime parts for Ducats. They are always open, even when Baro is away.

Relay

A large space station where many players meet. You enter it from the Star Chart like a mission.

Primed mod

A stronger version of a normal mod with more ranks. They have Legendary rarity.

Prime part

A component or blueprint for a Prime Warframe or Prime weapon. It comes from Void Relics.

Baro usually arrives every two weeks on a Friday and stays for up to 48 hours. On special occasions he sometimes comes more often, for example three weeks in a row in October 2026.

He only visits these four Relays:

This is how you find out when and where he appears:

• Every Ducat kiosk shows a countdown. It also names the Relay Baro will visit next. While Baro is there, it shows how long he will stay.
• 24 hours before he arrives, an icon appears on the Star Chart and slowly moves toward the target Relay.
• As soon as he arrives, you get a message from him in your inbox.
• You can type “when baro” in chat at any time (Region or Relay channel). You get a reply with the place and time.

Ducats come almost entirely from the Ducat kiosks. There you turn in Prime parts: blueprints, weapon parts and built Warframe components. Blueprints are worth the same as the finished part. How many Ducats a part gives depends on its rarity in the relic.

1. 01

   Open relics

   Run Void Fissures and collect Prime parts. Everything about relics is in Void Relics: farming Prime parts.

2. 02

   Keep duplicates

   Set aside parts you have already built or own twice, for Ducats or for trading.

3. 03

   Fly to a Relay

   Pick a Relay on the Star Chart and walk to the Ducat kiosks in the main area.

4. 04

   Trade in parts

   Select the parts you want to turn in. The Ducats go straight into your inventory.

There are two small side sources too: Varzia sometimes sells Ducats for Aya, and Baro’s Void Surplus can contain 1,000 Ducats if you are lucky.

You can either trade each Prime part for Ducats or sell it to other players for platinum. Which is better depends on the part:

• Ducats are best for parts that sell for almost nothing but give many Ducats. These are often rare parts of Prime items that are easy to farm right now.
• Sell for platinum when a part is in demand, for example because the item is in the Prime Vault and its relics no longer drop.
• Full sets usually sell for more than the single parts. If you only miss one part of a set, buying it can be worth it.
• Common parts worth 15 Ducats are not worth much. Still turn them in if they only clutter your inventory.

His stock changes with every visit. Every item costs Ducats plus credits. These are the kinds of things he brings:

Type	Examples	Typical price
Primed mods	Primed Continuity, Primed Flow, Primed Pistol Gambit	300 to 400 Ducats, 100,000 to 300,000 credits
Special weapons	Mara Detron, Prisma weapons like Prisma Obex, Vandal and Wraith weapons like Quanta Vandal	400 to 500 Ducats, 75,000 to 350,000 credits
Cosmetics	Skins, syandanas, armor, ephemeras, glyphs	varies a lot
Decorations	Statues, posters, Floofs, Domestik Drones	varies a lot
Other	Boosters, Void Relics, login screen music	varies a lot

A few things are there on every visit:

• The blueprint for the quest “Sands of Inaros”. It costs 100 Ducats and 25,000 credits and requires Mastery Rank 5. This quest gives you the Warframe Inaros.
• The Void Surplus for 50,000 credits and 0 Ducats. It is a box with a random reward, such as Forma, Aya, boosters or Exilus Adapters. You can buy it once per visit.
• A special item only for players who visit him with Inaros Prime.

At the start you only have a few Ducats. Spend them on things that make you stronger rather than on cosmetics:

• Primed Continuity and Primed Flow are useful on almost every Warframe. They make your abilities last longer and give you much more energy.
• Primed mods for weapon types you use a lot, for example Primed Pistol Gambit for critical secondaries or Primed Pressure Point for melee.
• The “Sands of Inaros” blueprint once you reach MR 5 and want Inaros.
• The Void Surplus every time, since it only costs credits.

A Primed mod replaces its normal version. You cannot equip both together. More about mods and ranks is in Modding basics: capacity, Endo, Forma and more.
