Baro Ki’Teer, who is also referred to as Void Trader, is known for his love of luxuries and the exotic, in particular those from the Orokin Void.
He sells rare artifacts and valuable items which aren’t available from anywhere else to the Tenno.
Baro Ki’Teer appears in the Concourse area of the Tenno Relays, but he isn’t there all the time. He makes an appearance every couple of weeks and can only trade for 48 hours before disappearing again.
You will see a countdown timer on the Void Trader Kiosks nearby, showing how long you have to wait before he comes back to trade.
If Baro is present on a relay, the countdown timer change to show how long is left before he goes away.
You will see an icon on the Star Chart located near the relay 24 hours before he shows up. This lets you know where he will be when he arrives and will slowly move along the relay path.
Once he arrives you can see a message from him in the inbox which tells you which relay and on which planet you can find him.
Accessing Relays
All relays have the chance of a Void Trader visit. You can access them by choosing a planet with a relay available in the Navigation Console.
After that, you can enter the relay node just like you’d enter a mission.
Some relays were destroyed by Balor Fororians in the Operation Eyes of Blight event. These differ according to the platform.
Destroyed relays appear as an unusable node in Navigation. Each relay can have up to 50 players at once. If full, another instance will appear so more players can join.
Ducats
Near everything Baro Ki’Teer sells has to be paid for with Ducats. This currently can be acquired by swapping Prime parts at either of the Ducat Kiosks in the Relays.
You can exchange Prime Blueprints, Prime weapon pars and Prime Warframe components. The rarer ones are worth more Ducats.
Baro Ki’teer Trades
The Void Trader has a different selection of stock from the Void each time he visits, which means his items are limited.
He always has a Baro Void-Signal and Sands of Inaros blueprint in the kiosk.
The Baro Void-Signal is exclusive to players who interact with Inaros Prime and you can only buy this once per visit. The Sand of Inaros blueprint requires Mastery Rank 5 to buy it.
Baro Ti’Keer’s whole inventory (apart from the Orokin Catalyst) is available to attendees of the annual TennoConn events.

More About Baro Ki’Teer
Warning: Spoilers! *
This character seems to look down on Tenno who don’t have Prime gear, although he’s happy to help them out for a price. He was the one who offered the data to build Archwings.
It is suggested that he can access the Void and has gone there to find rare treasures. Some of the items are incredibly rare, suggesting he takes great risks to gather his treasures.
Operation Cryotic Front
Baro Ki’Teer refers to himself as a Mystery Associate and contacts the Tenno anonymously to offer his help in combating the threat of Balor Fomorians.
He says he will provide the technology necessary to defeat them plus additional rewards for a great performance.
However, in exchange the Tenno have to harvest Cryotic which can only be found on some of the planets in the Solar System.
Baro Ki’Teer says he needs the Cryotic to preserve a delicacy known as the Martian Oasis Jellyfish, which would otherwise spoil during transport.
Darvo will reveal Baro Ki’Teer’s identity to the Tenno, saying he only wants to look mysterious to new customers.
He sampled the Jellyfish and his throat swelled up for several days. This means Darvo probably only revealed this to spite Baro.
Operation Gate Crash
Gate Crash reveals Baro gave a datamass to the Tenno which had information on it about the Archwing, an ancient piece of technology.
This is the centerpiece of the Tenno plans to beat Vay Hek’s Balor Fomorians. It isn’t specified whether or not Baro Ki’Teer was more involved in the operation or not.
Sands of Inaros
Tenno assistance is required by Baro Ki’Teer to raid a Temple on Mars to find treasure. He calls the previous colonizers ‘Sky Worshippers’.
The Tenno collect a Sacred Urn from the Temple and Baro Ki’Teer wants them to obey the instructions on the urn to uncover more Temple secrets.
Eventually it is revealed Baro Ki’Teer is from Mars and was the sole survivor in his village of a Grineer attack.
He prayed to Inaros but the God King didn’t come, which explains Baro’s resentment towards Mars.
Baro Ki’Teer Facts and Trivia
- The Ducats used as currency are named after a gold or silver real-life currency used in Medieval times.
- He will always respect players with Prime weapons or Warframes, but not the Prime Access Accessory or Prime armor set wearers. This is maybe because those have to be purchased from Baro in the first place.
- Baro Ki’Teer respects players with Inaros or Inaros Prime. He is disdainful at an Inaros who doesn’t buy anything though.
- This character has a lot of voice lines and frequently comments on a player’s equipment. If you don’t buy anything in his shop he might tell you to visit Darvo’s (implied inferior) shop instead or say you can’t afford anything.
- The in-game timer isn’t spot-on. It can be a minute or two out.
- A blue flash emitting little particles is shows when Baro appears at a relay.
- He came in a special ticket-only relay back in TennoCon 2017 where his inventory included everything he’d ever sold. The same happened in TennoCon 2018.
