How to Sell Riven Mods Guide

Riven Mods can be used to make Platinum, but their value depends heavily on the weapon they belong to and the quality of their stats. Understanding Riven Disposition and comparing similar listings is important when evaluating a Riven.

How to Determine a Riven’s Value

The most important aspect of a Riven is the weapon it belongs to. Rivens for popular or meta weapons can be valuable, especially when the weapon has a high Riven Disposition. A Riven for an unpopular weapon with low Disposition may have little or no value.

Check the weapon’s Riven Disposition before deciding whether a Riven is worth using. Rivens with negative Disposition can sometimes be weaker than the regular mod they replace.

To estimate a selling price:

1. Check the Riven Disposition of the weapon.
2. Look for Rivens for the same weapon with similar stats.
3. Compare their prices on Riven marketplaces such as Warframe.Market or Riven.Market.
4. Use similar listings as a reference when setting your price.

What Makes a Riven Good?

Whether a Riven is good depends on the weapon and how it is built.

If a weapon is favored for critical hits, critical stats are desirable. It is important to understand whether a weapon is primarily a status weapon, a critical weapon, or a hybrid, as well as how the weapon is normally built.

Some stats are broadly useful on guns, including:

• Multishot
• Fire rate
• An elemental stat

Melee Rivens are more dependent on the strengths of the specific weapon. Melee Damage is generally a safe choice, while elemental, Critical Chance, and Status Chance can also be useful depending on the weapon.

There are objectively good stats, but there is no single combination that is universally the best for every weapon. Riven stats can also be rerolled.

Selling Unrolled and Rolled Rivens

If the goal is to make Platinum, one approach is to obtain Rivens from various sources, complete their challenges, and then decide whether to sell them unrolled or reroll them for better stats.

A basic approach is:

1. Obtain Riven Mods from various sources.
2. Complete the Riven challenge to reveal the Riven.
3. Check whether it is for a popular weapon.
4. Sell it unrolled or reroll it for better stats.
5. Compare similar Rivens on Riven marketplaces to determine an appropriate price.

If you want to sell Rivens quickly, leaving them unrolled can help you turn them over faster. Kuva can instead be saved for Rivens you actually want to use.

For players who use Rivens themselves, one of the difficult parts is getting a Riven for the weapon they actually want.

Riven Disposition and Weapon Popularity

Rivens are intended to make unpopular weapons better rather than simply making already-good weapons even stronger. This is why Riven Disposition exists.

Rivens are not a necessity, and their usefulness depends on the weapon and the build.

Other Ways to Make Platinum

Rivens are not the only way to make Platinum. Other suggested sources include:

• Corrupted Mods
• Arbitration Mods
• Syndicate Augment Mods
• Drift Mods
• Set Mods
• Arcanes
• Prime Blueprints from Relics

For long-term trading, farming Prime Blueprints that are currently available can allow you to sell them when they become vaulted. Prime Blueprints can also be sold while they are available, although their value may be lower. Lower-value Prime parts can be treated as Prime junk and exchanged for Ducats.

For Rivens specifically, understanding modding and knowing which weapons are popular is important when deciding which Rivens are worth selling or rerolling.
