How to Get Primed Mods in Warframe

Primed Mods are stronger versions of regular mods in Warframe, offering higher maximum ranks and providing significantly better stats.
While a standard mod might cap at Rank 6, a Primed Mod can go all the way to Rank 10.

This guide covers what Primed Mods are, how to get them, and how to farm the Ducats needed to purchase them.

What Are Primed Mods?

Primed Mods are upgraded variants of normal mods and are often considered endgame upgrades because they offer some of the best-in-slot stats for many builds.

However, keep in mind that alternatives — such as Archon Mods — may outperform them in certain niche builds.

Primed Mods cannot be earned through regular gameplay. Instead, they are sold exclusively by:

Baro Ki’Teer — The Void Trader

Baro Ki’Teer is a unique vendor who:

Appears every two weeks in a random Relay
Stays from Friday to Sunday
Occasionally visits weekly during special events (e.g., October)

He sells:

Primed Mods
Prisma Weapons
Cosmetics
Decorations
And other unique items

Even if you're a new player without the resources to buy anything, it’s still worth checking his inventory every time he appears.

How to Get Primed Mods

Primed Mods can only be purchased from Baro Ki’Teer.

1. Check When Baro Arrives

You can see Baro’s current visit by:

Looking at the Alerts/News tab
Checking the star chart for his icon hovering over a Relay
Using chat commands in Q&A channels
Checking the community Wiki

2. Visit Baro in the Relay

Once Baro arrives:

Head to the Relay he’s visiting
Open your Gear Wheel to fast-travel directly to him
Browse his inventory for any Primed Mods you want

If you’re collecting them all, prepare for a long-term grind — his rotation is random, and you’ll often only get a few at a time.

Recommended Early Primed Mods

Primed Flow
Primed Continuity
Primed Toxin

These offer huge value early on and are widely used in many builds.

3. Pay with Credits & Ducats

Every item Baro sells requires:

Credits
Ducats — a special currency only used at Baro’s shop

Right next to Baro is the Ducat Kiosk, where you trade Prime Parts for Ducats.

Ducat Values

Common Prime Part → 15 Ducats
Uncommon Prime Part → 45 Ducats
Rare Prime Part → 100 Ducats

Tip: Check Market Value First

Before turning in any Prime Part, check its price on warframe.market.

Sometimes a part is worth Platinum, and selling it may be more profitable than turning it in for Ducats.
You can then buy cheaper relic parts to convert instead.

How to Farm Ducats (Prime Parts)

To farm Ducats efficiently, you first need Prime Parts, which come from opening Void Relics.

Step 1: Farm Relics

One of the fastest early-game relic farms is:

Hepit (Void) — Capture Mission

Drops Lith Relics consistently
Quick and easy
Runs take 1–2 minutes each

Lith Relics are great for new players and often contain valuable Prime Parts.

Step 2: Open Relics in Fissure Missions

On the Navigation screen, you’ll see Fissures on the top right.

To open relics:

Start a Fissure Mission
Select a relic when prompted
Collect Reactant during the mission
Finish the mission to receive a Prime Part

Always Run Fissures in Public

Running in public lobbies lets you:

Select from any of your squad’s drops
Dramatically improve your odds of getting rare items
Farm faster with coordinated relic runs

Step 3: Convert Prime Parts into Ducats

Once you’ve collected several parts:

Visit any Relay
Go to the Ducat Kiosk
Convert your parts into Ducats

Remember to check prices first — some rare drops sell for 40+ Platinum, and may be worth trading instead of exchanging.
