Know someone who sold a Quartakk riven for 80k plat. Had to check in with DE before doing the trade and when the trade was done he still got a trade ban. 😂
Honestly, if you're stupid enough to buy a decentish, not even god tier riven, for an ungodly price like that with ZERO research, that's 100% your fault. At least bro won't need to trade ever again.
Why did he got trade banned?! I know of a trade exploit players used for months before DE even made an effort to fix things ( that is why we have two confirmation messages now ). Yet we have to ask them to make a big trade?!
@@samuelhofer7099 Honestly, if you're stupid enough to not realize he cant ever use his plat to buy riven mods, prime sets, maxed arcanes, or anything of value, then yeah who needs to trade again
The 2020 event was hilarious, suddenly every single one of us now had two or three of this once super precious thing, making it not so important at all. Good times.
I remember trying to sell primed flow. A guy messaged me offering 800p. Instantly thought he was trolling me, I said sure, we went to my dojo, and he legit gave me 800p for primed flow 😂. This was like 3 years ago
Even if this wasn't technically the biggest, it's probably the biggest valid trade. They had support check on it ensuring it was legit platinum and monitored to make sure everything was above board. I would imagine there are some people that have technically gotten bigger trades but no proof or it was fake plat and I always avoid doing big trades because of that so my highest is about 1200 plat selling an unrolled torid riven.
2 things 1. This was the first warframe vid that I was entirely locked in and watched all the way through. And I don’t watch other warframe vids. Low-key inspiring me to branch out to non build videos as well 2. Your UA-cam banner is tron so you are a man of culture
Yo WarframeFlo, love your content and thank you for the videos you make that help even with endgame things. Also yeah this video got me kinda locked in as well truly understanding what the biggest trade was since I’ve heard a few crazy trades in Warframe, only craziest trade I made was an Octavia prime set for 90p since when I sold it it was ~50p on the market
Reminds me of when prime vaulting first became a thing, since Frost was the first to go, he once averaged 2.7k plat since nobody knew how the vaults would've turned out.
As part of the 100 players who got the mod from the event, I was salty at first (of the Baro Incident). But there is not much weapon that can utilize this mod. So I just a trophy. Thats all. Im free as a bird now with all of my old stuffs (OG emblems and rarest mods).
The way the 2020 Baro event went was quite interesting, but most don't know why DE put it in Baro's rotation. The Primed Chamber owners knew. November 2019 PlayStation had one buyer than dropped around 180k + RMT (undisclosed amount due to privacy). He specifically bought plat in Brazilian currency for a better rate. Certainly we thought PlayStation was responsible for February's Baro Primed Chamber visit. But we did a deeper dive and found that on January 3rd 2020 there was a 320k Primed Chamber sale on PC. Two trades not that far apart, plus the report war that ensued is our most likely agreed-upon reason for the Valentine visit. DE didn't want support to deal with that mess, and an item coveted in underground trades meant bad press. As for the buyers when Primed Chamber arrived, PlayStation guy quit for about 2 years. Don't know about PC. It's rare you stumble across a video like this, I'm curious as to what else players want to really know about the other side of the community. Happy Holidays folks
@@Finallin Someone always knows something. Reason I wouldn't give up the evidence is because it brings up a lot of negative energy. Report wars are nothing new, and 2024 already had its fair share of bans most of which were nefarious and planned. Different topic though. There really isn't a "history" channel for the game, nor a strategy side of it. Why? It started with developer behaviour. 99% of fun/broken/exploitative synergy is largely patched and frowned upon (this I could go on forever but I'm keeping it short). Players in 2013/14 learnt to keep info away from devs. Consequently, this is also where drama and strategies both get tied and lost. The tradition gets transferred as the next gen learns how to avoid/deal with the developers. In short, explaining this side is taboo and the content would be very limited. Privacy issues of individuals throwing hands, corruption of support, developers turning a blind eye, etc. There are some channels that cover history of dev action, and minimal from player side. But you'll never get the full story from them, for the aforementioned reasonings. Primed Chamber history is one of those topics. But it barely scratches the surface. Players were allowed to keep the copies under the "oh crap, my bad, whatever" stance. The market was born. Became niche and a trophy. In any game, this leads into RMT, mass reports against the one who stockpiled the item to get rid of it for gamer reasons, and much more.
Back in the shotgun 100% status days, well-rolled kohm rivens could rival primed chamber prices. I wouldn't be surprised if one was traded 1:1 for primed chamber, it was a very lucrative time to be rolling rivens.
Yeah, I remember because the kohm was sitting right at the edge, where only a small fraction of status rivens could hit the desired 100% status, and shotgun status worked differently. 99.9% status was useless, only a 99.9% chance of each shotgun blast inflicting a status. Worthless. Meanwhile, 100% status was every pellet inflicting a status. The difference was insane, so those rivens were just disgustingly priced.
OMG I listened to your orchestrated version of hopes and dreams as a kid! If it makes you feel any better, you didn't make someone lose 150k or more (via word of mouth), so 2k for that collector probably was nothing. In fact, he may have resold it and made even more.
There are still some old "legacy" items that sold for quite a lot. I bought for 1k a mod called "Equilibrium (Steam Pinnacle Pack)," which is the 5 level version of the regular equilibrium. There's also the ancient fusion cores, corpus void key, arcane helmets, and the rarest one, I think, is the "Vay Hek Frequency Triangulator," sold for around 4k in Warframe Market. A video showcasing these items could be cool
the rarest stuff is "fusion core" (non ancient fusion core) , yeah 2nd rarest is probs vay hek , allegedly tower void keys still exist so if they do they would be the rarest
something interesting to note was that there was an even rarer set of mods, unranked primed chambers, that were considered to be worth more. I think I remember seeing a trade screenie somewhere for 300k for one of those
Well, the unranked versions were more valuable since collectors wanted to have 1 version for each state the mod could possibly be in. Basically: unranked, rank 1, rank 2, and rank 3. It might've just been for 300k for three of them? Unsure.
I am not a trader myself and I just bought few mods and ayatan sculptures back in day when needed. My biggest revenue possibly was one rare mod sale which gave me 20-25 plat. I personally relying on my revenues and 75% purchases but I do not buy more than max 370 plat anymore because I have enough platinum to sustain myself. Not sure which was the biggest trade in warframe history but I see everything above 100-150 platinum worthless. Simply because I know how much real time money is and time spent on work to get this amount. I think 350k was the biggest trade in this game history which could make this game on that virtual leaderboard of top 100 purchases in game history. One of the biggest ones were EVE online ones, gatcha game purchases and if the game still exists, Project Entropy. Project Entropy was a sandbox scifi fps-tps type of game where you can build settlements, own buildings, sell in game currencies for real life one. There was once a very huge transaction when someone in that game purchased a space station for 450-460k dollars. Counterstrike also have a bad reputation of selling very rare weapon skins for huge amount of money. I personally would not spend nowhere near the amount of money for pixels.
In CS case I think most valued skins right now are karabmbit case hardened for this one offer has been made for 1.5 million dollars but the guy that owns it didn't wanna sell it and another one is ak-47 case hardened which was sold for 1milion dollars. I also should add that both skins are pattern based for ak-47 is 661 and karambit is 387.
@Visnulv oof. Those price tags are huge, definitely would help me out. Thanks for mentionning, I am not aware of how the prices changed on CS since I don't played it years ago.
Hey there! -Onyx-Django shared this with me because he was surprised to see my name pop up in a video. Honestly, I’d have missed this otherwise since I usually don’t watch Warframe videos unless they’re official news from DE. This actually isn’t the biggest trade I’ve come across, unless we're talking verified/documented trades. While we were looking for potential buyers for the mod, we talked to a lot of previous buyers and sellers - that’s also how we estimated the price at around 170-200k. One of the sellers mentioned selling their unranked copy for 210k, but I didn’t ask for proof since it was just a casual conversation. Unranked copies were valued higher because they were rarer, and a lot of collectors want one copy of each mod's rank, not just a copy of each mod. It’s cool that DE made the mod more accessible, but I can’t help feeling a bit bad for the guy who bought it from us. Dropping that much plat on a single mod, only to see it drop to ~300p in a few years, has to sting, lol. About a year ago, I tried to find the buyer again, but it seems their account doesn’t exist anymore - or maybe they just changed their name. Awesome video! I really like the format of documenting niche events that aren’t widely known. You’re actually the first content creator I’ve subscribed to in my 11+ years of playing Warframe. Looking forward to seeing more videos like this, if you create any.
Wow! Thanks, this means a lot! I'm glad you came across this video, and let alone that you liked it! Thank you for sharing your story on reddit, since that made this video possible. I'll definitely continue to cover niche topics like this in the future, though the next video I make will be on warframe's soundtrack, so not quite like this one. Regardless I hope you enjoy!
my FAVORITE thing about OG ember prime being 1200 plat...was people would say that "Ember is completly garbage and trash and you should NEVER play that frame...but the prime is one of the best frames in the game and you should get that one"
I know why it was added back, and it isn't for the reasons people think it was. 7 years ago, I made the most advanced Warframe hack that had ever existed. It allowed you to execute arbitrary Lua scripts that could do basically anything in-game, such as drop any mod in the game on some random player, which would result in them getting banned. The thing is that these bans required manual reviews, so what I'd do was spawn them in, sell one or two for 50k platinum, and then start gifting streamers so much stuff that it crashed their game when they opened the gifts. I also just handed them out like candy to random people. The 2nd video on my channel shows me spawning in both Arcane Energize and Primed Chamber during the tutorial mission. I just happened to see this video and thought it'd be interesting to tell people a side of the story that would otherwise be forgotten.
Super interesting. While I obviously don't advocate for exploits, I've also never been totally against them. I think they offer an otherwise unexplored viewpoint on the game, which can help developers make the game more secure and safe for everyone. I hope no one takes this the wrong way, but thanks for helping expose weak points in Warframe's structure!
800 platinum for maiming strike way back at the peak of that meta, in hindsight not a good deal because sure it was the best strategy at the time, but 800 plat was and still is a lot to drop on one playstyle. Atleast i got to enjoy it for a couple of years before it got completely shredded by the nerf (and because other weapons and strategies became better, lets not kid ourselves).
Kinda shocked this video was recommended to me. Its been since 2018 i last played warframe ( MR 26) player at the time. Hearing about this trade story is just so cool to me. I was a constant trader within the community at the time. Makes me happy knowing the trading scene is still going strong . I will never forget my Euphona Prime God roll riven i sold for 5k plat, good times .
I remember buying one back in the day for like 150p when Eidolons came out, because it was supposed to be good on Rubico Prime and Vectis Prime. I still have it on them, but it barely does anything, it's such a lackluster mod.
Right when Paracesis was realeased, I managed to open a riven mod that was exactly for PARACESIS, and 5 roll later, it got GOD stats, and managed to sell it for 10.000 plat (it took 2 months to find a buyer)
to answer the first question, 55K it was an Opticor Riven that thing was only .2% away in a single stat from being the highest roll possible according to the tool we used at the time edit: it had around 350 rolls when sold too
great video and good job with the research! glad someone is spreading the tale of this tragedy lol. i still think about this historical moment whenever i do a big trade.
The funniest thing about htis is that for a good year, I was saving up Plat to buy a Pirmed Chamber, and the cheapest at the time was around 12k. I was two 50% cards away from buying one when the news dropped. Fun times.
krakenunchained was the head of the clan (aresknightmare) I was in back then. The guy grinded platinum non stop. He even got multiple primed chamber at some point. He got banned unfortunately in the end
Was friend's with a guy that had 2 Primed Chamber's before they brought it back, feel so bad for him. he also had 165,000 plat ontop of the 2 primed chambers. Name was Iwaj, he went offline for like 2 or 300 days after it got brought back then i think he deleted his account cause he's not on my friends list anymore and I can't find him.
Iwaj was the guy i sold the Primed Chamber to. I am that guy in this Picture. i never heard of him again. i heard rumors that his account did got banned
Was part of an early clan called LagWave50, who owned sechura (old alliance credit farm) for a very long time. I had gotten a primed chamber from a younger member who won it in a giveaway for all the prime sets at the time. Sold for 80k couple months prior to the planes release and still sitting on 40 of it. I don't gamble but still feels like i won the lottery.
I played on ps4 previously until 2019. Was hunting so had my low niche place amongs big boys of ps4 richmans. All info as i bought it, nothing from myself. There were only 12 chambers across ps4, they were "transfered" from pc after event. Of course all trades according to legend were about "100k plat". One of the most rich RU guys(300k+ pl) sold 2 of them, getting that "100k" per flip. But im writing this cuz of one specific guy. His name was "effdotNYCbaby" as i remember. By the time baro brought chambers, this fella was holding 3! of them. First thing we discussed right after the incident was obviously him. If this info is correct-he is pretty much ”20k bitcoin pizza guy" of warframe. Unlucky. Huge thanks for the video, cool small details i didn't know about! Now no need to retold myself the story to my non-wf buddies, ill just send them your video Cheers❤
Thanks for this. I remember using it in a builder, looking up where to farm it and seeing that only couple of hundred existed. The Crazy thing is, old Acolyte modes were like this, X-Y possible drops per year, but where meta defining. I manged to farm enough to buy 1 from Baro, almost from scratch. My biggest trade was couple hundred for a Zenistar/Vectis riven.
I used to breed and imprint Kubrow like crazy. I sold a triple rare dark brown/red/gold bulky lotus for 2500 plat back in the day. I know its not a ton but between farming primes and cranking out Kubrow no single trade I made was all that much but I made a LOT of trades.
My biggest purchase was a god-riven for the Hek with Multishot, Critical Chance, Critical Damage, and the negative stat is less ammo, I paid 5200 platinum for it and I don't regret it in the slightest. With the right loadout my shotgun has over 40 multishot and it is glorious.
oh boy, i remember this one. I saw someone buying the Primed chamber for around 80k plat or something. like really low balling it. then Baro came and he/she is just laughing on the regional chat probably shit talking the sellers to. I actually never sold anything. I always buy stuff because the area I'm on (ASIA) has a lot of "dirty" plat. you see a lot of "Why do I have negative plat" on chat. It probably rubbed off the wrong way on me so I never tried buying stuff.
The largest trade ive seen for Primed Chamber was 898,989p or roughly $50,000 usd. It still baffles me to this day some one made this trade. That aside, largest sell i had was 8.5k for tiberon riven with 240% crit dmg, 360% crit chance, 180% multishot, and -40% mag size. Larest buy was 2k for a godrolled mutalist cernos riven.
My biggest one-time sale would be zenistar with maximum possible attack speed and range, with negative crit chance. That wouldn't do much nowadays, but before massive melee rework, zenistar was one of more useful tools for AFK (disc was always "fully charged" without needing to stack combo mult, and duration was infinite). I believe I sold it for 8k flat. To this day, I still live off of that. lol. Thanks for the video!
The most plat i ever gave away was 2k plat that i bought for $20 through currency conversion to buy cheaper plat and i gave it to my friend after i told him i would stop playing Warframe until 1999 came out
My friend who really got me hooked on WF is in the top 100 informer killers, it was always really interesting to see how many people would try to purchase his primed chamber when ever we would play back in the day. I still remember the day the Valentine's day massacre happened. My friend had already pretty much retired from WF, but seeing the mod in Baro's inventory made me think of him at that time.
There's only two things i would spend massive amounts of platinum on: Rivens, and R10 mods/Legendary Cores. And that's because they're kinda engineered to always have a high value, so even if DE releases more Primed mods or ways to get Rivens, not only will their value not decrease, it's more likely to increase because, well there's even more of these to chase, and even more for collectors to scramble to grind out. I also might spend a couple hundred plat for a day 1 prime set, but that depends, and you gotta be in the right place at the right time to take advntage of that.
Sitting there at the day of the valentines mascara after failing to reach the top 100 on that even was so oh so cathartic, the tears of all the smug collectors dangling that mod that i failed to get when i had the chance brought so much joy to my hearth.
Its so legendary I never even knew it was a thing, nor has anyone ever said anything about it. (I've played since valkyr p access pack was just released)
I finished the war within once. Opened the Riven… got a trash burston roll… had no idea how rivens were priced and I sold it for 600 platinum at marroo’s.
5:45 i keep cautioning "black platinum" to alliance members when they talk about trading huge amounts of plat, and yet it's like nobody even knows this is a problem
I still never got the Primed version of Primed Chamber and don't know if it still shows up or not. It cost more than building the Paracesis I thought I remember. Looked it up and the normal one I got is Charged Chamber so I got that but not Primed Chamber. Wiki says it costs 3k dukats which is crazy enough. Had no idea it had a crazy history and feel partly bad for people dumb enough to trade that much plat for a mod. I still need to get it for fun even though is not so useful anymore.
Man Primed Chamber always felt so overrated, I'm just glad to have gotten the Invati Sekhara sigil back 7 years ago with it still being untradable/unobtainable. Got that veteran player flex on these NeWbS lmao
You should make a vid about the "Dirty plat plague". There was an exploit that you can ask for a refund after purchase the plat, but DE would not remove them immedietly, so pp can actually spend them. That what Vietnam community called the Dirty plat. When DE start banning pp who use this exploit, all people who had touch, trading with those plat got ban too. A lot of my clan senior, WFO, a Vietnamese clan and one of oldest clan in the game with most senior have Exca prime got ban as well, and during that time communication with DE was very bad so most of them stop playing or create new account instead of try to prove their innocent.
Highest I've sold was a perfect dual ichor riven for 15k didn't check in with de but it seems it worked out in the end as i haven't had anything happen a year later
GRoll Burston Riven for 15k plat sometime before crosstrade was enabled, had been offered 30k, but it was a console player and that person messaged me about 5 minutes after the riven was already sold.
I remember when Chroma prime was released and I got the massive pack to get him since I really like Chroma, I spent around 5k platinum on a Gram riven. The riven has +heat damage, +attack speed, +crit chance and -crit chance while sliding It has seens been glued to my gram prime ever since. My friends call it "bullshit anime protagonist sword"
I remember being around for that day, not understanding the significance of the mod's history, saw the price for it from Baro and simply "lol no, bad mod anyway" and bought some other item from him.
The playstation warframe facebook groupd had a field day when baro showed up. A member known as eff dot baby would constantly brag about how many primed chambers he had. so on that day even the moderators got in it, putting an announcement say "Press eff to pay respects" lol
i was told about some 1/muti-mill+ accounts some time good ago and from the little i remember i can pretty confidently say (if what i was told was true) this is probably not the biggest trade ever but it is likely the biggest confirmed trades ever that is publicly known let alone for 1 single item.
That's why I felt it a good idea to make the video. It was really hard to dig up any info on the largest trade since a lot of it is just he said she said. Glad AshenTao had a screenshot though!
One day on the Warframe Market i found someone who wanted to buy the Equilibrium (Pinnacle pack) for 10000 Platinum, so i send a mp and at the last moment he changed the price to 2000 in the market and never responded. So i still don't know if i should keep it or wait for someone to buy it.
Bought a perfect unrolled Kesheg riven (range, attack speed, critical damage, negative impact) for only 10 plat on Nintendo switch because the weapon was considered garbage. Meanwhile with that riven was better than Guandao Prime. I sold that riven on PC after the cross save, for 12000 platinum. I was not happy to separate from it, because I loved the weapon and the roll was literally perfect, but since you couldn't transfer platinum from switch to PC and I was still poor on PC I accepted the offer.

Primed Chamber history is one of those topics. But it barely scratches the surface. Players were allowed to keep the copies under the "oh crap, my bad, whatever" stance. The market was born. Became niche and a trophy. In any game, this leads into RMT, mass reports against the one who stockpiled the item to get rid of it for gamer reasons, and much more.
Back in the shotgun 100% status days, well-rolled kohm rivens could rival primed chamber prices. I wouldn't be surprised if one was traded 1:1 for primed chamber, it was a very lucrative time to be rolling rivens.
Yeah, I remember because the kohm was sitting right at the edge, where only a small fraction of status rivens could hit the desired 100% status, and shotgun status worked differently. 99.9% status was useless, only a 99.9% chance of each shotgun blast inflicting a status. Worthless. Meanwhile, 100% status was every pellet inflicting a status. The difference was insane, so those rivens were just disgustingly priced.
I wish I never sold mine, I'm worried I made someone out there break a monitor. However he made me 2000p richer that day... thanks I guess.
OMG I listened to your orchestrated version of hopes and dreams as a kid!
If it makes you feel any better, you didn't make someone lose 150k or more (via word of mouth), so 2k for that collector probably was nothing. In fact, he may have resold it and made even more.
@Finallin Truu. This is good.
There are still some old "legacy" items that sold for quite a lot. I bought for 1k a mod called "Equilibrium (Steam Pinnacle Pack)," which is the 5 level version of the regular equilibrium. There's also the ancient fusion cores, corpus void key, arcane helmets, and the rarest one, I think, is the "Vay Hek Frequency Triangulator," sold for around 4k in Warframe Market. A video showcasing these items could be cool
the rarest stuff is "fusion core" (non ancient fusion core) , yeah 2nd rarest is probs vay hek , allegedly tower void keys still exist so if they do they would be the rarest
@@jazzWF tower keys when they were retired were all converted to relics
I actually have the corpus void keys from doing the event back in the day I had a Primed chamber from before it was sold at baro! (won it a Tennocon)
I have one of those frequency items myself, got it as a gift from a friend.
I think I still have 2 arcane helmets, never plan on selling them, as useless as they are now lol
something interesting to note was that there was an even rarer set of mods, unranked primed chambers, that were considered to be worth more. I think I remember seeing a trade screenie somewhere for 300k for one of those
Well, the unranked versions were more valuable since collectors wanted to have 1 version for each state the mod could possibly be in. Basically: unranked, rank 1, rank 2, and rank 3. It might've just been for 300k for three of them? Unsure.
That's like the equivalent of a rare doll still in the original package: functionally useless but with good speculative value.
oh I just commented this too mr quillu
also do u know if senguashs primed chamber was one from the 2018 event? @jazzWF
@@slof69 uhh idk 😭😭
I am not a trader myself and I just bought few mods and ayatan sculptures back in day when needed. My biggest revenue possibly was one rare mod sale which gave me 20-25 plat.
I personally relying on my revenues and 75% purchases but I do not buy more than max 370 plat anymore because I have enough platinum to sustain myself.
Not sure which was the biggest trade in warframe history but I see everything above 100-150 platinum worthless. Simply because I know how much real time money is and time spent on work to get this amount. I think 350k was the biggest trade in this game history which could make this game on that virtual leaderboard of top 100 purchases in game history.
One of the biggest ones were EVE online ones, gatcha game purchases and if the game still exists, Project Entropy.
Project Entropy was a sandbox scifi fps-tps type of game where you can build settlements, own buildings, sell in game currencies for real life one. There was once a very huge transaction when someone in that game purchased a space station for 450-460k dollars.
Counterstrike also have a bad reputation of selling very rare weapon skins for huge amount of money. I personally would not spend nowhere near the amount of money for pixels.
In CS case I think most valued skins right now are karabmbit case hardened for this one offer has been made for 1.5 million dollars but the guy that owns it didn't wanna sell it and another one is ak-47 case hardened which was sold for 1milion dollars. I also should add that both skins are pattern based for ak-47 is 661 and karambit is 387.
@Visnulv oof. Those price tags are huge, definitely would help me out. Thanks for mentionning, I am not aware of how the prices changed on CS since I don't played it years ago.
Hey there! -Onyx-Django shared this with me because he was surprised to see my name pop up in a video. Honestly, I’d have missed this otherwise since I usually don’t watch Warframe videos unless they’re official news from DE.
This actually isn’t the biggest trade I’ve come across, unless we're talking verified/documented trades. While we were looking for potential buyers for the mod, we talked to a lot of previous buyers and sellers - that’s also how we estimated the price at around 170-200k. One of the sellers mentioned selling their unranked copy for 210k, but I didn’t ask for proof since it was just a casual conversation. Unranked copies were valued higher because they were rarer, and a lot of collectors want one copy of each mod's rank, not just a copy of each mod.
It’s cool that DE made the mod more accessible, but I can’t help feeling a bit bad for the guy who bought it from us. Dropping that much plat on a single mod, only to see it drop to ~300p in a few years, has to sting, lol. About a year ago, I tried to find the buyer again, but it seems their account doesn’t exist anymore - or maybe they just changed their name.
Awesome video! I really like the format of documenting niche events that aren’t widely known. You’re actually the first content creator I’ve subscribed to in my 11+ years of playing Warframe. Looking forward to seeing more videos like this, if you create any.
Wow! Thanks, this means a lot! I'm glad you came across this video, and let alone that you liked it! Thank you for sharing your story on reddit, since that made this video possible. I'll definitely continue to cover niche topics like this in the future, though the next video I make will be on warframe's soundtrack, so not quite like this one. Regardless I hope you enjoy!
That moment you realize your Clan Leader made Warframe history.
My largest trade was probably OG Ember Prime for 1200 before they started bringing back old primes.
Yea those prices were absolutely ridiculous lol. I'm glad prime resurgence is a think
Man I remember trading 2 maiming strikes for an ember prime set. Good times.
Yea, I remember selling the blueprints alone for a thousand plat it was a crazy time
my FAVORITE thing about OG ember prime being 1200 plat...was people would say that "Ember is completly garbage and trash and you should NEVER play that frame...but the prime is one of the best frames in the game and you should get that one"
Still riding off those prices myself
An interesting look back at WF history. You should do these kind of videos more often.
Thanks! I'm planning on doing more videos like this, so stay tuned.
I know why it was added back, and it isn't for the reasons people think it was. 7 years ago, I made the most advanced Warframe hack that had ever existed. It allowed you to execute arbitrary Lua scripts that could do basically anything in-game, such as drop any mod in the game on some random player, which would result in them getting banned. The thing is that these bans required manual reviews, so what I'd do was spawn them in, sell one or two for 50k platinum, and then start gifting streamers so much stuff that it crashed their game when they opened the gifts. I also just handed them out like candy to random people.
The 2nd video on my channel shows me spawning in both Arcane Energize and Primed Chamber during the tutorial mission.
I just happened to see this video and thought it'd be interesting to tell people a side of the story that would otherwise be forgotten.
Super interesting. While I obviously don't advocate for exploits, I've also never been totally against them. I think they offer an otherwise unexplored viewpoint on the game, which can help developers make the game more secure and safe for everyone.
I hope no one takes this the wrong way, but thanks for helping expose weak points in Warframe's structure!
Bro, I like this type of video, keep up the good work.
More to come!
800 platinum for maiming strike way back at the peak of that meta, in hindsight not a good deal because sure it was the best strategy at the time, but 800 plat was and still is a lot to drop on one playstyle. Atleast i got to enjoy it for a couple of years before it got completely shredded by the nerf (and because other weapons and strategies became better, lets not kid ourselves).
Just for posterity, another one was given away at TennoVIP at PAX Aus 2017 (followed shortly by Rebb chugging a beer)
LOL, thanks. I don’t think this was listed on the wiki, but i also may have missed it.
Arcane helms sold for some eye watering prices, I can’t imagine that doesn’t have the top spot some where
Kinda shocked this video was recommended to me. Its been since 2018 i last played warframe ( MR 26) player at the time. Hearing about this trade story is just so cool to me. I was a constant trader within the community at the time. Makes me happy knowing the trading scene is still going strong . I will never forget my Euphona Prime God roll riven i sold for 5k plat, good times .
The 40 people who bought a flawed mod for 10k plat
I remember buying one back in the day for like 150p when Eidolons came out, because it was supposed to be good on Rubico Prime and Vectis Prime. I still have it on them, but it barely does anything, it's such a lackluster mod.
Unfortunately, but you can resell it for a good amount!
oof I was just saying it could be god on them
@@Finallin Unfortunately I'm a collector, so I'm the one doing the buying for obscure junk like this xD
love this style of content, cant wait for more :D
Glad you liked it! The next video should be out tomorrow hopefully!
Right when Paracesis was realeased, I managed to open a riven mod that was exactly for PARACESIS, and 5 roll later, it got GOD stats, and managed to sell it for 10.000 plat (it took 2 months to find a buyer)
Wow this video actually went insane! Great video as always, cool to see something i had never heard about and the insanity of it.
Thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed the video! :D
This was an amazing video, its like the wf version of Wirtual. Looking forward to seeing more like this!! 💜
I've been wanting to do more of this sort of stuff. I've got a few ideas in the works!
5:50 wait, wait, wait, so innocent people can be punished for someone elses cheating?
Yeah same in RL when u got paid with counterfeit money
this was such a great video mr warframe historian PLEASE do more
0:23 you know what else is massive 😬
MY MOM
Damn it you beat me to it
Oh my god this video blew up !!! Such a big thing for your channel, I hope it only goes up from here !
I appreciate it, I'm glad it's being appreciated!
My biggest trade was 4K for Lanka riven
This keeps showing up on my feed. Glad I watched it, gooddd old days
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I didn't pick it up when i had the chance via ducat's, guess i took a bit of a gamble. Tempted to get it the next time i get back to the game tho.
to answer the first question, 55K
it was an Opticor Riven
that thing was only .2% away in a single stat from being the highest roll possible according to the tool we used at the time
edit: it had around 350 rolls when sold too
Love to hear DM Dokuro's work
great video and good job with the research! glad someone is spreading the tale of this tragedy lol. i still think about this historical moment whenever i do a big trade.
Thanks! That was my goal, lol.
The funniest thing about htis is that for a good year, I was saving up Plat to buy a Pirmed Chamber, and the cheapest at the time was around 12k.
I was two 50% cards away from buying one when the news dropped.
Fun times.
i remember this, it was a hell of time. though it was good for only vectis
krakenunchained was the head of the clan (aresknightmare) I was in back then. The guy grinded platinum non stop. He even got multiple primed chamber at some point. He got banned unfortunately in the end
What’d he get banned for?
I’ve always wondered who are the “whales” of warframe
owh yeah, kinda forget that mod existence. i check it, yeah i own it 2 copy as well
Was friend's with a guy that had 2 Primed Chamber's before they brought it back, feel so bad for him. he also had 165,000 plat ontop of the 2 primed chambers. Name was Iwaj, he went offline for like 2 or 300 days after it got brought back then i think he deleted his account cause he's not on my friends list anymore and I can't find him.
Iwaj was the guy i sold the Primed Chamber to. I am that guy in this Picture. i never heard of him again. i heard rumors that his account did got banned
Big oof
My two fave things, journalism and Warframe
Was part of an early clan called LagWave50, who owned sechura (old alliance credit farm) for a very long time. I had gotten a primed chamber from a younger member who won it in a giveaway for all the prime sets at the time. Sold for 80k couple months prior to the planes release and still sitting on 40 of it. I don't gamble but still feels like i won the lottery.
The Terraria Calamity music in the background goes hard
great story telling !
Thanks! I hope to keep improving that aspect!
I played on ps4 previously until 2019. Was hunting so had my low niche place amongs big boys of ps4 richmans. All info as i bought it, nothing from myself.
There were only 12 chambers across ps4, they were "transfered" from pc after event.
Of course all trades according to legend were about "100k plat". One of the most rich RU guys(300k+ pl) sold 2 of them, getting that "100k" per flip.
But im writing this cuz of one specific guy. His name was "effdotNYCbaby" as i remember. By the time baro brought chambers, this fella was holding 3! of them.
First thing we discussed right after the incident was obviously him. If this info is correct-he is pretty much ”20k bitcoin pizza guy" of warframe.
Unlucky.
Huge thanks for the video, cool small details i didn't know about! Now no need to retold myself the story to my non-wf buddies, ill just send them your video
Cheers❤
Thanks for this.
I remember using it in a builder, looking up where to farm it and seeing that only couple of hundred existed.
The Crazy thing is, old Acolyte modes were like this, X-Y possible drops per year, but where meta defining.
I manged to farm enough to buy 1 from Baro, almost from scratch. My biggest trade was couple hundred for a Zenistar/Vectis riven.
I used to breed and imprint Kubrow like crazy. I sold a triple rare dark brown/red/gold bulky lotus for 2500 plat back in the day. I know its not a ton but between farming primes and cranking out Kubrow no single trade I made was all that much but I made a LOT of trades.
My biggest purchase was a god-riven for the Hek with Multishot, Critical Chance, Critical Damage, and the negative stat is less ammo, I paid 5200 platinum for it and I don't regret it in the slightest. With the right loadout my shotgun has over 40 multishot and it is glorious.
oh boy, i remember this one. I saw someone buying the Primed chamber for around 80k plat or something. like really low balling it. then Baro came and he/she is just laughing on the regional chat probably shit talking the sellers to.
I actually never sold anything. I always buy stuff because the area I'm on (ASIA) has a lot of "dirty" plat. you see a lot of "Why do I have negative plat" on chat. It probably rubbed off the wrong way on me so I never tried buying stuff.
I made 15K trade before with Kuva chakkur riven when kuva liches came new i dropped CC CD Multishot - Zoom riven
The largest trade ive seen for Primed Chamber was 898,989p or roughly $50,000 usd. It still baffles me to this day some one made this trade.
That aside, largest sell i had was 8.5k for tiberon riven with 240% crit dmg, 360% crit chance, 180% multishot, and -40% mag size. Larest buy was 2k for a godrolled mutalist cernos riven.
Man, if only there were some proof of it..
Largest "trade" was made or you meant to say largest "price" you saw? There is a big difference
My biggest one-time sale would be zenistar with maximum possible attack speed and range, with negative crit chance. That wouldn't do much nowadays, but before massive melee rework, zenistar was one of more useful tools for AFK (disc was always "fully charged" without needing to stack combo mult, and duration was infinite). I believe I sold it for 8k flat. To this day, I still live off of that. lol. Thanks for the video!
The most plat i ever gave away was 2k plat that i bought for $20 through currency conversion to buy cheaper plat and i gave it to my friend after i told him i would stop playing Warframe until 1999 came out
My friend who really got me hooked on WF is in the top 100 informer killers, it was always really interesting to see how many people would try to purchase his primed chamber when ever we would play back in the day.
I still remember the day the Valentine's day massacre happened. My friend had already pretty much retired from WF, but seeing the mod in Baro's inventory made me think of him at that time.
That's a really cool story, thanks for sharing!
There's only two things i would spend massive amounts of platinum on: Rivens, and R10 mods/Legendary Cores. And that's because they're kinda engineered to always have a high value, so even if DE releases more Primed mods or ways to get Rivens, not only will their value not decrease, it's more likely to increase because, well there's even more of these to chase, and even more for collectors to scramble to grind out.
I also might spend a couple hundred plat for a day 1 prime set, but that depends, and you gotta be in the right place at the right time to take advntage of that.
Sitting there at the day of the valentines mascara after failing to reach the top 100 on that even was so oh so cathartic, the tears of all the smug collectors dangling that mod that i failed to get when i had the chance brought so much joy to my hearth.
Its so legendary I never even knew it was a thing, nor has anyone ever said anything about it. (I've played since valkyr p access pack was just released)
3000 for a max arcane
20 argon scopes and 20 miaming strikes maxxed out. 6 months later at the time.... deimos update stopped playing after that lmao
Still holding on my Baro's Prime Chamber, I remember demolishing all my prime parts to get it, It was my dream mod for my Vectis.
I would love the same comparison for "maiming strike" before and after nerf, and todays prices :D
I finished the war within once. Opened the Riven… got a trash burston roll… had no idea how rivens were priced and I sold it for 600 platinum at marroo’s.
5:45 i keep cautioning "black platinum" to alliance members when they talk about trading huge amounts of plat, and yet it's like nobody even knows this is a problem
Calamity music goes hard
I still never got the Primed version of Primed Chamber and don't know if it still shows up or not. It cost more than building the Paracesis I thought I remember. Looked it up and the normal one I got is Charged Chamber so I got that but not Primed Chamber. Wiki says it costs 3k dukats which is crazy enough. Had no idea it had a crazy history and feel partly bad for people dumb enough to trade that much plat for a mod.
I still need to get it for fun even though is not so useful anymore.
yo i came back to the game after a while, can u tell me ur dual toxocyst build cuz i can't figure it out
I have a vid on it! If you don’t have a riven on it, just check the pinned comment.
Man Primed Chamber always felt so overrated, I'm just glad to have gotten the Invati Sekhara sigil back 7 years ago with it still being untradable/unobtainable. Got that veteran player flex on these NeWbS lmao
I have some arcane helmets and rubedo skins from early day of the game, feel good to still have some "unique" items
actually crazy people.
You should make a vid about the "Dirty plat plague". There was an exploit that you can ask for a refund after purchase the plat, but DE would not remove them immedietly, so pp can actually spend them. That what Vietnam community called the Dirty plat. When DE start banning pp who use this exploit, all people who had touch, trading with those plat got ban too. A lot of my clan senior, WFO, a Vietnamese clan and one of oldest clan in the game with most senior have Exca prime got ban as well, and during that time communication with DE was very bad so most of them stop playing or create new account instead of try to prove their innocent.
2k subs soon! Lets goooo!
Thanks, appreciate the support!
Sold a god Roll Vectis riven for 4k once, and a friend of mine sold a skiajati riven right after the sacrifice dropped for about the same.
What was the meta for everyone to want this mod, which only increases the dmg of your first shot? Im so confused.
Rarity. The mod was really only good for eidolons
Highest I've sold was a perfect dual ichor riven for 15k didn't check in with de but it seems it worked out in the end as i haven't had anything happen a year later
Glad everything worked out!!
Meanwhile I only spend around 100 plat for one mod :/
GRoll Burston Riven for 15k plat sometime before crosstrade was enabled, had been offered 30k, but it was a console player and that person messaged me about 5 minutes after the riven was already sold.
I remember that trade back then. Insane.
I never like sniper in WF anyway. Always gone for assault rifle, smg and shotgun. A simplier life !
I remember when Chroma prime was released and I got the massive pack to get him since I really like Chroma, I spent around 5k platinum on a Gram riven.
The riven has +heat damage, +attack speed, +crit chance and -crit chance while sliding
It has seens been glued to my gram prime ever since. My friends call it "bullshit anime protagonist sword"
I remember being around for that day, not understanding the significance of the mod's history, saw the price for it from Baro and simply "lol no, bad mod anyway" and bought some other item from him.
Lol, that's funny. At least people who didn't purchase it when baro brought it back didn't miss out on much.
I remember the tonka grenade launcher was insanely busted for a little bit, I got a god roll mod for it and sold it for like 2k. I was so excited.
I used to make basic Dojos and sell it to groups of friends for platinum.
The playstation warframe facebook groupd had a field day when baro showed up. A member known as eff dot baby would constantly brag about how many primed chambers he had. so on that day even the moderators got in it, putting an announcement say "Press eff to pay respects" lol
LOL that’s awesome
i really wished i would have known this i would have sold mine from the informant event
Nowhere near the same amounts, but i've slowly sold my smol stockpile of Arcane Helmets for decent chunks over the years
i was told about some 1/muti-mill+ accounts some time good ago and from the little i remember i can pretty confidently say (if what i was told was true) this is probably not the biggest trade ever but it is likely the biggest confirmed trades ever that is publicly known let alone for 1 single item.
That's why I felt it a good idea to make the video. It was really hard to dig up any info on the largest trade since a lot of it is just he said she said. Glad AshenTao had a screenshot though!
1:09 I found that mod in game running with friends
One day on the Warframe Market i found someone who wanted to buy the Equilibrium (Pinnacle pack) for 10000 Platinum, so i send a mp and at the last moment he changed the price to 2000 in the market and never responded. So i still don't know if i should keep it or wait for someone to buy it.
I remember when loki systems was going for like 2k
Bought a perfect unrolled Kesheg riven (range, attack speed, critical damage, negative impact) for only 10 plat on Nintendo switch because the weapon was considered garbage. Meanwhile with that riven was better than Guandao Prime.
I sold that riven on PC after the cross save, for 12000 platinum. I was not happy to separate from it, because I loved the weapon and the roll was literally perfect, but since you couldn't transfer platinum from switch to PC and I was still poor on PC I accepted the offer.
I haven't made a huge trade but I do OWN a Glaive Prime, which is kinda fun to lord over people I guess.
7:52 Suppress "new"????
It's a weird bug that happens with certain mods, unsure why though lol
@@Finallin you might have dissolved all copies. The game will then flags a new copy pick up as a new mod.
i believe krakenunchained got banned, not for the trades but allegedly exploiting something (he was a ps player like myself at the time)
