    Cross faction mail your alts now allowed; profit from different GTN prices

    Prior to patch 1.2, you could NOT mail items to your cross faction alts. Now, however, that is not the case. You can mail your cross faction alt any item now you wish.

    It is now a lot easier to exploit and profit off of price differences between the GTNs on each side.

    On my server, for example, Mandalorion Iron sells for about 4k each higher on the Empire side than Republic. I buy all I can on the Republic side and resell it at 4k higher each on the Empire side.

    Cross Faction mail is intended. How is this considered exploit? More like a [Common sense] Guide, IMO

    Thanks for the contribution though!

    Cross faction mail didn't work prior to this recent patch. You had to use the neutral GTN to transfer items between your characters.

    While it wasnt working before, it was still intended and they fixed it at 1.2. Its even in the Notes.

    He's reminding us of how we can better manipulate the economy between Republic and Empire. This is a fine contribution, if you ask me.

    My server imbalance is rather insane so this is working out great. I can transfer / buy up stuff on my empire main and send it back over to my republic where the GTN is literally empty! Thanks for pointing this out! Didn't cross my mind originally.

    This would make more sense under the guides section, arbitrage isn't really an exploit.

    I placed it under an exploit as I assumed (probably falsely) that giving us the ability to mail alts the legacy pieces also let us mail them any other item.

    I apologize for this thread.

    Yes it works, great tip for guides section. I think many people don't know this yet, good opportunity to make some extra credits or to buy some items cheaper. Only need to spend 3+ hours to level a character to other faction fleet.

    Is there a way for me to move this to the guides section or can a mod do it?

    If not, I'll repost it there.
