Was Not Allowed to Trade Rhino Prime Chassis

[Frondator]

I have this in my inventory, someone wanted to buy it, I thought, Great, now I can make some plats, but when we got to the dojo, it was not there in the area where my prime parts are. I am MR7. I have no idea why my item did not come up for trading. Made me look like a complete ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I still have the item but not when I offer it for trade. I suspect the same thing will happen at Maroo`s Bazaar if I go try to put it up for sale.

Any chance you have it crafted?

Built parts for Prime frames cannot be traded, only the blueprints for the parts can (and those will be present in the Blueprints section, not the Prime Parts section).

I built it from the blueprint, yes.

[Frondator]

So how do I trade parts? I have to find them on a drop?

Ah, this is why. You can only trade prime warframe blueprints. If you craft it, it isn't eligible for trading.

Next time keep in mind, don't craft any primes if you want to trade it. Only craft if you want to use it.

How am I supposed to distinguish between what I have found and what I have built? Why would DE make that a distinction? I have no idea what I can trade now. I see WTB and now I will have no clue as to what I will actually be able to trade with others...

once its built its bound to you, only the blueprint can be traded.

So how are these people trading parts for plats? Finding them from relics exclusively?

So when someone asks for the Chassis or Neuroptics, they are actually asking for the blueprint? I traded oberon prime neuroptics before though, not the blueprints but the 2 I had found.

Just don’t build it if you want to sell it? Avoid building any parts unless you got the full set and you want the item for yourself.
It’s kinda simple. Even argon crystals aren’t an issue thanks to how quick you can find some.

But yes, people will always be looking to buy the blueprints. That is why you don’t actually “find” built parts, so you must have been mistaken.

Yes, prime parts are obtainable from relic drops. You need to do fissure missions to crack open relic with random reward listed in its type.

Chances are, when you got that Rhino Prime parts, did you accidentally joined a fissure missions? I'm guessing you probably understand relic selection at this point.

[Frondator]

I am still confused. If I get a part from a lith or meso or neo relic, can I trade it? I have traded Oberon Prime Neuroptics parts before. Is this what people are expecting for a trade? Parts that are found from drops? I get that I cannot build something and trade it--even though this is enragingly stupid.

I built the Rhino Prime Chassis. However, if I had gotten it from a relic, then could I have traded it?

Relics drop blueprints for parts exclusively, and they can be traded. The only way to get built parts is to build it yourself from the relic. There is no way you got fully-built Oberon parts and traded them.
