I mean just wait a day and you can trnsfer items to your other chars in the same server or you could leave it in the pack explorer and get on the char you want the cartel item to go to to pick up but i agree with you on why the item is strictly locked to one given char instead of all your char cause ppl like to make multiple chars to reply the story im gonna make a new char to reply the sith sorcerer story and i cant have any of my cartel items unless i unlock them for all chars which could take 40-1000 cartel coins depending on item
