Wasn't sure how to title this, but...

Is there a gem or other item you can drop xfer to an alt that will generally have the same vendor re-sale value. Doesn't have to be exact. Just trying to transfer some plat between characters via items.

Thanks!

Buy gems, all storebought gems generally gave a good transfer rate. I been using Sapphires for years because reasons
find secluded place to transfer
Bring target alt to location first
Then bring gem holder to location after making sure you were not followed, see invis, constant /whoing psyching out potential people you might have missed by standing up at 25 seconds and do another scan of the area then say fuck it and move both of your characters to ERudin crossing and you pick the farthest corner of the zone from the boats and wait until 5 or 6 in the morning (eastern time)

Almost every gemstone resells for ~95% with indifferent faction and 104 charisma. Both characters would need the CHA and faction for maximum value.

You can ask pretty much anyone that's at least mid level and not naked to help you transfer. I've asked tons of randoms and have never once had anyone steal my stuff.

Aren't rubies meant to be the best value on resale?

Ask any nearby Azure Guardian to help you.

Get a level 60 in one of the big raid guilds to help you transfer. They have so much time invested in their character, there is no way they would steal your stuff.

If they steal camps, would they steal your plat? Discuss

Peridots are good cash transfers

Thanks a lot guys. Yeah, I must admit, I don't trust people much, but you raise some great points :) Thank you!

Kittens Who Say Meow and (most) Dial A Port members can be counted on for transfers. Never had an issue asking any of them for help with transferring even high value items or large sums of plat.

As a lvl 60 in one of the aforementioned guilds I will have to respectfully decline transfer requests. I only transfer for friends, after being contacted by a guide about an RMT investigation for an item I transferred for a rando in EC.

I suggest making some friends/joining a guild.

Ask a valued member of any top guild to help you. I doubt they will throw their e-cred away over a couple thousand platinum by scamming you. Any member of Aftermath will do it if they aren't AFK or busy.

But gems hold 90-95% of their value when resold, so yes you can drop transfer, but my original idea is far better.

Dannyl speaks the truth. I would trust pretty much any member of any major guild for any low value (less than 10k) transfer.

For transfers of higher value I rely on friends and guildies just because that’s what they are there for. I’ve transferred and held items worth hundreds of thousands of plat. Ruining my reputation is not worth puppet strings as far as I’m concerned.

If I don't have a guildie near by I call "dial a port". I trust them. I don't like the union mentality but I trust em.

Can confirm I've borrowed a Kittens member for a 20k transfer in the past, straight up good cats.

Tink Bags resell to vendors for 4940ish pp and cost about 5040 from sol A so they're a solid option and you generally want a bunch on alts anyway. Sapphires are convenient for transferring to cap bots since they vendor for close to the price of recharging it.

That sounds more like a plains pebble.

Any high level geared char from a know guild is safe for transfer...

If it's a gem someone sold to a vendor that doesn't normally stock it, then they're generally much more expensive. Stick to vendors that actually stock these items and you'll get a consistent price.

I use Rubies(https://wiki.project1999.com/Ruby) for major swaps, Peridots(https://wiki.project1999.com/Peridot) for simple hand-offs of plat to my alts. Only concern, as I found with my Ogre ShadowKnight, is that shitty faction/charisma will net you much less value per gem.

Items I have Drop Transferred:

https://wiki.project1999.com/Bioluminescent_Orb

https://wiki.project1999.com/Runed_Bolster_Belt

https://wiki.project1999.com/Shield_of_the_Water_Dragon

https://wiki.project1999.com/Tolan%27s_Darkwood_Breastplate

There is no worry and no threat. Just pick a secluded spot, have both characters camped at nearly the same /loc, and REFRESH YOUR LOGIN SESSION by computer restart before beginning.

I'd drop transfer a Fungi this way if i had one. Foolproof unless the power goes out out in your house in between character swap, in which case Zeus hates you and wants you to suffer.

Sounds like a Lambent Stone to me. Looks like an expensive blue gem, merchants sell high, but buy from players low.
