How to Get a Dominus in Roblox: What One Really Costs

Getting a Dominus in Roblox means buying a used copy from another player, and the cheapest one is Dominus Formidulosus, listed from 126,000 Robux as of September 2026. A Dominus is a Classic Limited, meaning a hat that Roblox made and sold itself in a fixed number of copies, then stopped selling forever. Nobody can make new copies, so every Dominus for sale is second-hand, priced by whoever owns it. There is no code, no giveaway, and no free version that works.

Quick answer: The only real way to get a Dominus is to buy one on the resale market or trade for one. The cheapest genuine Dominus, Dominus Formidulosus, sits near 126,000 R$. The famous ones cost millions. Buying a resale copy needs no subscription; trading for one needs a Roblox Plus subscription on both accounts.

How much does a Dominus cost in Roblox? From 126,000 R$ to millions

Eleven Domini exist as tradeable Classic Limiteds, and the price gap between the cheapest and the priciest is enormous. The table below is ordered from cheapest to most expensive by trader consensus, which is where people who follow this market daily place each hat's real price. Two columns come from RBX Invest catalog data as of September 2026: RAP, short for Recent Average Price, a smoothed average of an item's past sale prices, and lowest ask, the cheapest copy anyone currently has listed.

Dominus	RAP (R$)	Copies	Lowest ask (R$)
Dominus Formidulosus	128,114	3,927	126,000
Dominus Praefectus	868,614	1,306	895,000
Dominus Vespertilio	1,836,761	595	2,463,999
Dominus Messor	3,824,094	266	9,749,996
Dominus Rex	3,857,588	257	6,394,000
Dominus Aureus	7,620,311	302	8,877,770
Dominus Pittacium	6,936,989	38	77,777,777
Dominus Astra	14,321,557	26	6,767,676,767
Dominus Infernus	1,973,087	27	618,033,988
Dominus Frigidus	28,059,680	27	618,033,988
Dominus Empyreus	13,577,229	23	618,033,988

Messor and Rex sit at the same level in trader consensus even though Rex has slightly fewer copies, so treat their order as a coin flip. The whole family is tracked live on the Dominus collection page if you want today's numbers instead of September's.

Three of the asks in that table are not real prices. A copy of Empyreus, Frigidus or Infernus is not for sale at 618,033,988 R$, and nobody is buying an Astra for 6.7 billion. Those are placeholder listings from owners who do not want to sell and pick an absurd number so the item still shows up as "listed." The 77,777,777 on Pittacium is the same trick with a rounder joke. On items this scarce, the cheapest listing tells you almost nothing, so check RAP and recent sales instead.

What is the cheapest Dominus? Dominus Formidulosus, at about 126,000 R$

Dominus Formidulosus is the entry point to the family and it is not close. With 3,927 copies it has about three times the supply of the next-cheapest Dominus, and its RAP of 128,114 R$ and lowest ask of 126,000 R$ agree with each other, which is a good sign that the listed price is real. When RAP and the cheapest listing land within a few percent, you are usually looking at an item that actually changes hands.

Second cheapest is Dominus Praefectus at 895,000 R$, roughly seven times the price. After that the family jumps into the millions. So if the goal is "own a Dominus," the honest answer is that you need somewhere north of 126,000 Robux, and everything above Praefectus is a different conversation entirely.

Whichever one you go for, compare the listings before you buy: copies priced under RAP turn up in the Deals feed, which needs a signed-in account, and the full reseller ladder for any item sits on Resell.

Saving that much takes a while at normal Robux earning rates. Our guide to what Robux is worth in real money puts those numbers in perspective before you commit months of saving to one hat.

Can you get a Dominus for free? No, and every offer that says otherwise is a scam

Roblox has never run a public giveaway for a tradeable Dominus. A handful of Domini were handed out as one-off event awards, including Dominus Venari, which community records say went to a single player for finishing the 2018 Ready Player One event, but those copies were never made tradeable and cannot be bought at any price. The full story of who got what is in our Dominus series history.

Everything else you will see advertised is a scam. Free Dominus generators, "click here for a free Dominus" sites, bots promising a Dominus if you trade first, and accounts claiming to run a giveaway all work the same way: they take your login, your Robux, or your items. Roblox does not have a way to spawn a new copy of a sold-out Limited, so any offer of one is either a lie or a trap. The patterns and how to spot them are covered in our guide to Roblox trading scams.

One more trap worth naming: people sell items with "Dominus" in the title that are not the classic hat at all. Checking the item's page before you pay is the fix, and our piece on fake Limiteds and name-squatting shows what those listings look like.

Can you trade for a Dominus instead of buying one? Yes, with Roblox Plus on both sides

Classic Limiteds like the Dominus family are tradeable, so you can build up a stack of smaller Limiteds and offer them for one big hat. Trading needs an active Roblox Plus subscription on both accounts, which costs $4.99 USD per month, and trading is currently restricted for accounts based in South Korea. If you only plan to buy a copy off the resale market you need no subscription at all. The buyer of a resale never does.

You can add Robux to sweeten a trade, but Roblox takes a 30% fee on Robux included in a trade, and the amount you can add is capped at 50% of the offered items' value after that fee. Adding cash to close a gap is expensive, so most people close it with another item instead.

Two practical notes. A Limited you receive in a trade is locked for two days after the trade, and a copy you buy on resale carries its own holding period, meaning a wait Roblox applies before you can list it for sale. Our holding periods guide breaks down which wait applies to which purchase. And before you accept anything, price both sides against real data rather than the other person's word: our walkthrough on evaluating a Roblox trade covers the checks that matter.

What are the cheap "Dominus" items in the catalog? UGC lookalikes

Search the catalog for "Dominus" and you will find dozens of items priced in the low thousands. Almost all of them are UGC Limiteds, meaning items made by community creators, published after the UGC Limiteds program launched in April 2023. They borrow the shape and the name. They are not the classic hats, they have their own separate markets, and UGC Limiteds cannot be traded at all, only resold.

Item	RAP (R$)	Copies	Lowest ask (R$)
Golden Dominus	6,518	3,000	2,995
Crimson Dominus	14,167	999	4,500
Ethereal Poisoned Dominus	9,082	2,499	5,000

Buying one of these is a reasonable choice if what you want is the look on your avatar for a few thousand Robux. It is a bad choice if you think you are buying the item other traders respect, or if you expect it to hold value the way a classic Dominus has. The differences between the two kinds of item, in supply, in trading rights, and in fees, are laid out in Classic Limiteds vs UGC Limiteds.

The DIY Dominus Empyreus: Roblox's own joke Dominus, about 15,000 R$

There is one middle option most people miss. DIY Dominus Empyreus is a Classic Limited made by Roblox itself: a paper bag with a badly drawn Dominus on it, published April 1, 2014 as an April Fools' joke and part of a small "DIY" line of deliberately terrible paper-bag hats. Community catalog records are the source for that release date, since Roblox never published a changelog for it.

It carries a RAP of 16,087 R$ across 8,302 copies with a lowest ask of 15,499 R$, which makes it the cheapest Roblox-made Limited with "Dominus" in its name, about an eighth the price of Formidulosus. It is a joke hat and it will never be mistaken for the real thing, which is rather the point of owning one.

What does it cost to sell a Dominus later? Roblox takes 30%

If you buy a Dominus and later resell it, Roblox's marketplace fee on a Classic Limited resale is 30%, so you keep 70% of the sale price. The math is simple. Sell for 200,000 R$ and 60,000 goes to Roblox, leaving you 140,000. To break even on a copy you bought for 126,000 R$ you need to sell for about 180,000 R$, roughly 1.43 times what you paid.

Reselling also needs an active Roblox Plus subscription on the selling account, though as noted above, the person buying from you needs nothing. Fees work differently on UGC Limiteds, where a reseller keeps only half the sale price, per Roblox's marketplace documentation. If your plan is to flip rather than to collect, run the numbers on both before you pick a lane.

This is not financial advice. Limiteds are volatile, thinly traded, and can lose value fast, and a hat you buy at today's floor may take months to sell at any price.

Why do Empyreus and Frigidus cost so much more than the rest?

Supply explains most of it. Empyreus has 23 copies, Astra 26, Frigidus and Infernus 27 each. These are gems, the site's word for scarce, high-value Limiteds, and at that supply level a single motivated buyer can move the price by millions. Formidulosus has 3,927 copies, so there is almost always someone willing to sell.

Age and story do the rest. Empyreus was the first Dominus, released in January 2010, and trader consensus puts it at the top of the whole family today, ahead of Frigidus and then Infernus, even though Frigidus carries the highest RAP on the entire platform and Infernus sits eighth of eleven by RAP. That gap is not a mistake in the data. RAP only updates when a sale completes, and these hats sell a handful of times a year, so their RAP can lag reality by years. Watch for the opposite problem too: a projected item is one whose RAP has been pumped by fake sales between friends, which makes the number look high with nothing behind it. Our guide to projected items shows how to tell the two apart, and the items leaderboard is where you can compare RAP against live listings across the market.

Figures in this article come from RBX Invest catalog data as of September 10, 2026, Roblox's marketplace documentation at create.roblox.com/docs/marketplace for fees and resale rules, and long-standing community catalog records for release dates, which are noted as such where used.

FAQ

How do you get a Dominus in Roblox?

You buy one from another player, either through a resale listing or a trade. Every Dominus is a Classic Limited that Roblox stopped selling years ago, so no new copies exist. Buying a resale copy needs only Robux; trading for one needs a Roblox Plus subscription on both accounts.

What is the cheapest Dominus?

Dominus Formidulosus, with a lowest ask of 126,000 R$ and a RAP of 128,114 R$ as of September 2026. It has 3,927 copies, about three times the supply of the next-cheapest Dominus, which is why it costs a fraction of the rest of the family.

Can you get a Dominus for free in Roblox?

No. Roblox has never given away a tradeable Dominus to the public, and no generator, code, or giveaway can create a copy of a sold-out Limited. Every offer of a free Dominus is a scam aimed at your account, your Robux, or your items.

How much is the most expensive Dominus?

Dominus Frigidus carries the highest RAP of any Limited on Roblox at 28,059,680 R$ across 27 copies, though trader consensus places Dominus Empyreus at the top of the family in practice. The listed asks on both, 618,033,988 R$, are placeholder numbers from owners who do not want to sell.

Do you need Roblox Plus to buy a Dominus?

No. Buying a Limited on the resale market requires no subscription. You need Roblox Plus, at $4.99 USD per month, only if you want to trade for one, or if you later want to resell the copy you own.

Are the cheap Dominus items in the catalog real?

They are real items, but they are UGC Limiteds made by community creators. They cost a few thousand Robux, cannot be traded, and have their own separate markets. Buy one only for the look.

How much does Roblox take when you resell a Dominus?

30%. On a Classic Limited resale the seller keeps 70% of the sale price, so a 200,000 R$ sale nets 140,000 R$. Breaking even on a purchase means selling for about 1.43 times what you paid.

Why is Dominus Infernus so cheap on paper?

Its RAP sits under 2 million, eighth of eleven in the family, because RAP only moves when a sale completes and Infernus almost never sells. With 27 copies, the same tier as Frigidus and Empyreus, trader consensus prices it third in the family, far above what its RAP suggests.
