How to Twink?

[Farquis]

On EQLive they had shared bank space so you were able to twink a character. Back in the day you had to drop the item (usually backpack filled with stuff) on the floor and log onto a different character to pick it up.

Does that still work, or does the items disappear? Was trying to twink a new Wizard to aid me a bit.

Thank you. =)

Find a trusted friend to trade it. Dropping it sounds risky. I remember doing it in eq live though.
No joke. But if you need someone to trade items to your wizzy ill do it for you.

Yeah you can drop bags on the ground but you only have like 1 to 2 minutes before it poofs. I have lost a few over the years. Risky but it works. If you go LD your goose is cooked though.

But it is risky to give a lot of bags to someone in the tunnel also. I know most people are honest but it does happen. And if you are dropping like 4 or 5 bags very few people have that many slots open for a trade. No real good way. A Guildie is probably the best way, but they may not be in the zone you need.

Giving anyone 300k worth of gear in the trade window would be risky lol. A Fungi , few good weapons can be that much easy. Not that I have ever had that much plat on here. More like 3000 plat. GL.

Since I came back to the game and my guild dissappeared, I find it very hard to transfer things, especially money. What I try to do is find a high lvl (40+) in one of the top guilds and ask. They have a reputation to keep, so they actually have something to lose. The hard part is finding someone with enough bag slots to transfer in tunnel. Have to admit the people in that Bregan(?) are very nice and helpful.

I've regularly transferred items between accounts using the drop method. You definitely have enough time to do it that way - it's not as convenient, though.

Some of the regular traders in EC with a rep to maintain (I forget their names) usually did transfers for free...

[Galanteer]

a word of warning about the drop method.

Don't drop in an area that an npc paths. The npc may pick up your items. (at least they did on live)

Just find someone trustworthy and have them do a trade.

I've done trades over 100k for strangers in the past. Maybe find one of the players that does escrow services, they will often do transfers for you at no cost.

I asked a GM before I transfered my fungi. He said that if I got the person to agree that the trade was a transfer and took a screen shot of it, the GM's would help if something went wrong.

I offer free transfer services when i'm online in the tunnel, if you call me online via pm on the forums it's nice to tip though. Check out my escrow thread for community feedback on me if you're uncertain whether to trust me or not.

Cheers

I have two different toons bound at Timorous Deep (ports to any starter town) - if you need a transfer ever just hit me up in game and if I'm not busy I can do a pick up and drop off for you.

I also have a few toons bound at EC tunnel for buying/selling.
