Altair
Altair is a feature-rich Warframe Discord bot for riven grading, price checking, and world-state alerts, running on roughly 16,000 servers.
Overview
Altair (hosted at empx.cc, made by developer "empdarkness") is an expansive Warframe-focused Discord bot. It provides world-state alerts, riven stat-roll checking and grading, Warframe Market price/auction lookups, detailed weapon data (quantization, IPS rolls, incarnon stats), Baro Ki'teer inventory tracking, sortie/archon/arbitration info, and in-game profile lookups. It operates through Discord slash commands and is one of the more widely adopted Warframe utility bots, listed on top.gg and Discord Bot List with roughly 16,200 servers.
Best for: Warframe Discord communities and traders who want in-chat riven grading, price checks, and world-state alerts without leaving Discord.

Pros & cons
- Deep Warframe-specific feature set covering rivens, prices, weapon data, and world state
- Strong adoption (~16,200 servers) signals reliability and active use
- Read-only and safe — no game memory access or account credentials required
- Convenient in-Discord riven grading and Warframe Market price/auction lookups
- Documented at empx.cc with a maintained command set
- Only usable inside Discord — no standalone web/app interface
- Very few public reviews/ratings (top.gg rating is from just 3 reviews), so sentiment signal is weak
- No Reddit or YouTube coverage surfaced, making independent validation limited
- Official site returned 403 to automated fetches; the old GitHub command list is defunct
Community sentiment
Direct community discussion evidence is thin — no Reddit threads or YouTube reviews surfaced in searches — but adoption metrics are strong, with about 16,200 Discord servers using the bot per Discord Bot List. Its top.gg listing shows a 5/5 rating, though from only 3 reviews, so the star rating is not statistically meaningful. Overall it reads as a genuinely useful, actively maintained Warframe utility bot rather than a hyped one.
