    Sending mail to alts

    After all this time, why is it still not possible to send items ingame to other characters on your same account? Why hasn't someone figured out how to set this account wide yet? Come on SE, it would make things so much easier if you allowed this, instead of the trade to this person, switch to that character, and trade with that person again. This should not have to include other people just to send things within your own account. Please consider changing this.

    The game is mostly built around people having one character, simple as that. It's not really meant to be played like WoW in which people have alt armies.

    It's not that nobody has figured out how to make the mailbox account-wide... not sure why you'd think that. They purposely made it so you are unable to send stuff to other characters under the same account.

    FFXI says Hi. Sending to alts/mules would alleviate many problems in inventory space (just like in XI), yet since that space comes at a price (extra retainers) its why its a such a pain in-game for alts. Their only excuse is RMT, which by now, we all know didn't do jack to stop them in the slightest.

    Yeah I wish we could. I need to use my FC chest to give my alt stuff, or ask a friend to send them to her.
    And my 3rd character isn't level 50 yet so would be nice if I could send her some gear so she will do better in dungeons.

    And yet, they allow you to make multiple characters on your account without buying another character slot so seems to me they are aware that alot (not all) of players like to have multiple characters. Adding the ability to send mail to these same account characters should go along with this. All I am asking is the ability to eliminate the middle man as it were.

    How to exchange items between alts
    • make the receiving character's retainer sell 1 trash at unreasonable price (how much, see below)
    • buy that trash with the sending character
    • sell the items you want transfer, with unreasonable price
    • go back the receiving character, and buy them with the Gil you got from previous sell
    • done

    If you take care the market the retainer is, you also avoid fees.
    If someone else buy your things, you also make a profit. Win-win situation.

    This idea is terrible. I've done it, no thanks! I want to eliminate the middle man, not create more steps lol. I'm looking for efficiency. :P

    Unfortunately the most effective way I've found is to own your own FC and house and just have them both added to it so you can trade freely Via the company chest. Most small FCs with plots on my server go for 5-6m and that doesn't take long to make. Few weeks at most, even without crafting.

    I did replied to the OP, sorry if you got that was a reply to you. The method is all the OP were requesting, does not include third parties.

    But yes, as long as a method exists, it will be good ask a simpler system as a QoL improvement, easier methods are welcome.
