How to read Ducats-per-Platinum rankings
Ducats-per-Platinum rankings compare how many Ducats you receive for each Platinum you could likely get by selling the part. A higher ratio usually means the part is a stronger Ducat candidate; a lower ratio usually means selling for Platinum deserves a closer look.
For broad cross-item rankings, use warframe.market Ducanator. It is built for scanning Ducat-to-Platinum ratios across many Prime parts.
How to check a specific item
When you are deciding what to do with one specific Prime part, use the DucatDump Prime Junk Calculator. It shows the item's Ducat value, estimated Platinum, vaulted status, set context where available, price history, and whether DucatDump currently treats it as junk, mid value, high value, or no data.
The calculator is the better tool when you already have the item in your inventory and need a keep, sell, or exchange decision. Ducanator is better when you want to scan many Prime parts for broad Ducat farming targets.
Common mistakes when farming Ducats
- Sorting only by Ducats and ignoring Platinum value.
- Destroying rare vaulted set components for a short-term Baro purchase.
- Ignoring whether a part is needed for your own crafting.
- Assuming stale or missing market data proves an item is junk.
