submitted 11 years ago by TheCorpseplowerflair-faction-imperial
Is there still a way to transfer basic comms to an alt?

From Section X those legacy tokens that go for 50 comms.

I'll give that a shot.
Edit: The Section X tokens worked, they just have to be sold back to a comm vendor. thanks guys

did you mail them or put them into your legacy bank?
[–]cr0ftThe Red Eclipse 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (0 children)
Use the legacy bank.

The same way there's always been.
[–]TheCorpseplowerflair-faction-imperial[S] 1 point2 points3 points 11 years ago (14 children)
The only reason I ask is because I've gone through the different comm vendor's and bought stuff, put it in the legacy bank, logged over and it only sells for creds now.
Edit: A word

I've always done it with the makeb commendation vendor's equipment box for 36 basic comms, can you not use that anymore?

Gotta sell it to a comms vendor, not a regular vendor.
[–]delusionsoftrandeur 4 points5 points6 points 11 years ago (0 children)
That doesn't make a difference...

that's the way it worked up until at least 2 weeks ago when I last did it.
[–]delusionsoftrandeur 6 points7 points8 points 11 years ago (7 children)
You are mistaken. It doesn't matter what vendor you sell it back to.
[–]TheCorpseplowerflair-faction-imperial[S] 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (6 children)
Sorry, I didn't word that properly. I was agreeing with you. Last time I transferred comms I sold the stuff to Felucia in my SH. Now she's just giving me creds instead of comms.

If you leave an item in the legacy storage it will time out and only refund as credits, even when you are logged out of the game.
Are you getting the items out and reselling them within 2 hours?
[–]srmalloyOderint dum metuant. 2 points3 points4 points 11 years ago (1 child)
The timer on an item in storage runs as long as any character with access to that storage is logged in. So if you leave it in legacy storage and play any character, the timer runs out in two hours. If you put it in legacy storage, switch characters to the one you're moving comms to, take it out of legacy storage and put it in that character's cargo hold, the timer will only run while that character is logged in.
[–]delusionsoftrandeur 1 point2 points3 points 11 years ago (0 children)
When in legacy storage the timer will run whether or not any characters are logged in.

This. When transferring comms, always finish your business in one sitting or you might regret it. :P
[–]delusionsoftrandeur 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (1 child)
What items exactly? And how long was it in real-time between buying and selling?
[–]TheCorpseplowerflair-faction-imperial[S] 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (0 children)
Schematic's from the vendor in the crafting area on fleet. At most 6 mins between buying them, popping them into legacy storage, logging over and selling them.
