What Is a Trend?

Definition of a Trend

• the general direction of changes or developments
  
• a general development or change in a situation or in the way that people are behaving

Trends, like in real life and in other video games, can be taken advantage of and a very high profit can be made. For example, in real life people pay a premium for the latest and greatest phones. These phones are way over priced, yet people buy them everyday. In this case, we're going to take advantage of Warframe's trends.

Pay Attention To Updates

News

A big part of making profit off trends is keeping track of current updates and future updates.

How Knowledgeable Tenno Can Help

Understanding trends, game mechanics, and past/present/future patches can be a daunting task. Therefor, knowledgeable Tenno can be a huge help. A lot of the times knowledgable Tenno will be aware of current trends. They tend to be the types that like min/max'ing, and run mainstream "endgame" content which as of right now are eidolon captures. The best eidolon hunters keep track of current trends because they will be highly interested in the best gear.

Ways to Access the News

Orbiter

Devstreams

Devstreams are videos streamed by the Warframe Developers. Here, they discuss current projects and what to expect in the future.

Where to Access Devstreams

• Live Devstreams on Twitch[www.twitch.tv]
  
• Live and Past Devstreams On Youtube

Where to Access Devstream Summaries

Devstreams can last an hour or more. For shorter 10 to 20 minute summaries visit popular youtube channels. Here are some youtubers who are particularly good at reporting:

• Brozime
  
• Tactical Potatoe

Newly Released Prime Sets

Newly released prime sets will sell for 400-500 platinum in the first week of release and afterward slowly drop in price depending on popularity and ease of acquisition.

Ways to Prepare for New Prime Releases

Of course opening syndicate relic packs will be RNG based, but you'll be surprised on how effective this can be for quickly attaining newly released relics.
You can run syndicate missions for points and medallions. Wait for the day of release before turning in your medallions.

Temporarily Unvaulted Prime Sets

Vaulted sets are rare so when a prime set is temporarily unvaulted it will be highly sought after. They are usually available as bounties on Cetus or Fortuna and as mission rewards on the Void planet.

Particularly quick unvaulted relic farms:

• Cetus/Fortuna bounties
  
• Void, Hepit Capture for Lith relics
  
• Void, Ukko Capture for Meso and Neo relics

Newly Released Items

Not all newly released items will be a hot sell, so be sure to pay attention to what Warframe players are raving about. For example, when Exodia Contagion newly released, a rank 3 was worth 1000 platinum. After being out for a while and a bug fix, a rank 3 Exodia Contagion is only worth 300 platinum, as of writing this guide.

I got an unrolled trash riven for wolf sledge a few days after release and sold it for a nice price. I was originally offered 1.1k platinum but regrettably passed on the deal.

Buffs

Sometimes an item is buffed and suddenly the item's worth spikes.
For example, when the Supra Vandal was buffed, the weapon itself and its rivens spiked.

Meta in "End Game" Content

A perfect example at the moment are Eidolon Captures.

Popular Items for Eidolon captures:

• Volt Prime
  
• Chroma Prime
  
• Trinity Prime
  
• Lanka Rivens
  
• Rubico Rivens

Be sure to track changes in meta for maximum profit.

Rivens

Hot rivens will almost always be weapons for:

• Meta in "End Game" content
  
• Popular newly released weapons
  
• Recently buffed and popular weapons

How to Predict Future Prime Weapon Releases

Future prime releases are often revealed during devstreams. DE is unpredictable at times, but educated guesses can be made even before their reveals during devstreams. For example, Mesa was released with the weapons: Redeemer, Gammacor, and Paracyst. Prime weapons that were released with Mesa Prime were: Redeemer Prime and Akjagara Prime. Redeemer non-prime was already popular so it was inevitable that Redeemer riven prices inflated upon its prime release. After Redeemer Prime released, I sold an unrolled trash Redeemer riven for 400 platinum.

How to Predict Future Prime Warframe Releases

Prime versions of warframes are always released in sequence male, male, female, female, male, male, female, female ...etc. They also release somewhat chronologically according to its non-prime version's release. To check the chronological order of releases, visit the Warframe Wiki[warframe.fandom.com]. Be sure to click "Release Date" to organize the list according to release dates.

Stock Up on Rivens Based on Future Releases

Examples of rivens that sold at hiked prices after release:

Mesa Prime

• Redeemer Prime
  
• Akjagara Prime

Chroma Prime

• Gram Prime
  
• Rubico Prime

Limbo Prime

• Pyrana Prime
  
• Destreza Prime

Zephyr Prime

• Tiberon Prime
  
• Kronen Prime

Note that not all rivens for new releases became popular such as Destreza Prime during Limbo Prime's release and Kronen Prime during Zephyr Prime's release. Destreza Prime is a pretty powerful melee weapon, but generally people prefer polearms, heavy blades, and whips for melee weapons. Kronen Prime is an all around lack luster weapon.

Nerfs - Price Depreciation

For example, melee weapons were nerfed to no longer punch through walls. The mod, Maiming Strike, significantly lowered in value. Cut your losses by selling your stock before prices continue to lower.

Examples of Future Predictions

Shield gating is releasing soon and will be a powerful mechanic for survivability. I predict any items that boosts shields will spike in price. They include:

• Maxed rank Redirection
  
• Arcane Aegis
  
• Arcane Barrier

The Risk Of Trends

Consequences of Nerfs, Unforeseen Events, and Wrong Predictions

Examples:

• I saved up extra Supra Vandals for sale, but after its riven disposition lowered in an update, its price lowered in value.
  
• I saved up Frost Prime and Trinity Prime sets, but after it was available for free from Twitch Prime, its price lowered.
  
• I stocked up on Odonata Prime before Plains of Eidolon release, in prediction of skyrocketing popularity in Archwings. Its price never increased.

It's probably a bit too early for you. I suggest following my beginner guide to get through early game. I quit warframe a couple months ago though so i recommend joining my discord server as people can answer more specific questions there. Discord link in "discord server" section.

[Psychocrat]

When should i start trying to take advantage of trends?I just started a few days ago.

[ThePHiLsTeR [¬º-°]¬]

Yes, there are instances of that happening but it is very uncommon.

[Sloznoprikolog]

You should be careful while trading rivens for 1Ks+ plat cause it might be a black market plat which can provide u a free temporary ban and -2x plat from your account until your count become 0 or more plat

In that case I hope they won't go overboard with nerfs to high disposition weapons. I like Rivens for fun builds on mediocre weapons. Last update nerfed Vasto, Aksomati (which is pretty good actually so it's justified) and Buzlok which were all weapons I've used pretty frequently. Only upside was Penta buff.

For example my Attica Riven gives it +150.1% crit chance, with Point Strike it becomes +300.1%. Attica's base is 25%, so with both mods I barely break 100% chance. Even slight nerf will ruin that.

I went a bit ranty, sorry about that

[ThePHiLsTeR [¬º-°]¬]

@corneil true that

@6ri9za they said in a dev stream they will do riven disposition changes more regularly, iirc every 3 months until they get to a point where it stabalizes and changes wont be drastic anymore

[󠁈󠁏󠁅󠁓󠀠󠁍󠁁󠁄⁧⁧ ♡]

I mean they said they'll roll rivens about 2 years ago or so and they did like 2-3 rerolls total so we'll see about that.

[CORNIEL]

Harpak and Kulstar are grineer weapons,
there won't be prime variant of it

[TENNO]

Now, DE announced every 3 months all rivens will have changed/updated their disposition- depending if a weapon is a popular or not. Expect next few riven updates with a nerfs of Rubico, Tiberon rivens, and all popular weapons that now have 5/5 dispo. They will have as Pyrana and Arca Plasmor rivens- prolly 2/5 dispo
And your logic is wrong- regular Warframes have diffrent weapons than PRIME versions of respective Warframes counterparts... Kulstar and Harpak PRIME...lol
