Cross server Daily Dice trades

[Grandern_Marn]

Don't bother trading. At the end (Nov 15) you'll get a free transfer of any characters off Hardcore (dead or alive) along with anything in their inventory and personal bank.

Hmm, the Hardcore server is an interesting proposition for cross server trading.
First of all, I would either have to get another character space or kill a bank toon and do some backpack tetris to allow for a transfer back to Orien. At this point I am reluctant to consider either of those options.
On the other hand, moving a Hardcore toon to another server with tradable items could provide for some strategic trading possibilities.
Anyway, I am playing on the Hardcore server so will keep rolling there and see what comes up for the time being.

It's VIP only. If you are VIP and don't see it, then I don't know what's up.

I rolled a gold 98 on your server today (Orien) and got a +5 spot tome and (wait for it....) *drum roll* exclusive hair dye. (Queue awkward polite clapping that fades off).

Of course it's all BTA, so no trades.

Notice gold really sucks nowadays? 3years ago gold no matter how useless was worth keeping, example I got a +6 tome, still keeping until now. (Cant crunch it anyway)

If you earn 100 favor on Hardcore, you'll earn all the first time DDO Point bonuses, (you get 25 DDO points at 5, 25, and 50 as well as 100 favor) which would help pay for the extra character slot. Then just see if the stuff you rolled is worth the additional cost.

Ok I see it now, apparently need to restart the log in window.

For the Hardcore server, you may want to have a separate die roller character who holds on to tradables or be moving items that you will want to trade or transfer to the shared bank right away.
All items in the bank and inventory of a questing character will be lost when the character dies so only have items that are being worn or items you don't mind losing upon death.
More generally, this includes platinum or handy gear that you are holding on to from lower levels or higher level stuff that you will want to move into - keep these items on shared storage also.

If you are talking about doing cross-server trading during Hardcore League, then yes this is a good idea.

However, I will not be doing cross server trades from the Hardcore server, since I can just transfer my characters over to my main server for free at the end. I have at least 4 unused character slots so it won't be an issue for me personally.

Also, just some clarification. You can still transfer a character that dies with anything he had on him or in his bank at the time of death. If there are items still in the shared bank at the end of hardcore league, I don't know if a living character will be able to pull stuff out, or if the server itself will be inaccessible and all you can do is use the transfer option from the launcher (which does not require logging into the server). So I would say make sure on the last day or two of the event to clear out the shared bank to a (living) character you are going to transfer.

Again, from the Hardcore FAQ:

What happens to the items in your Shared Bank when a character dies?

Items that are in your Shared Bank will remain in your Shared Bank, even if the character who stored them is lost. Items on your character will remain on that character even in death. There is no Shared Bank in the Land of Lost Souls, so plan accordingly.

What happens to my characters at the end of the Hardcore League?

At the end of the Hardcore League, we will be offering free Character Transfers to all characters - living or dead. Dead characters will be able to find their way back to the land of the living once they set foot on a non-Hardcore server. Characters will also bring their personal inventory with them, as with a regular character transfer. Note that normal character transfer restrictions apply - shared bank items, guild airships, TR caches, etc will not transfer off the server.

Yes, it would probably best to organize items to characters that you want to move to other servers on the final days of the Hardcore server. I have been accumulating some gear on the hardcore server which I wouldn't mind if I lost from a shared bank in the case of a complete wipe so may just take my chances and leave them there.

It will be interesting to see how the character transfer prospect pans out. It looks to be a lot of manual labor so the feasible of transferring an entire server of characters is likely to be a time/work consideration for the devs. Naming will also be an issue, I am using the same name for one of my characters on the Hardcore server so to transfer that character to my home server I will probably get a '-1' after the name. I wonder if this can be deleted on a return transfer to a future hardcore server - I have my doubts on that count. A further question is what kind of items can be moved back to the hardcore server on a future return.

Another point of consideration is that a 'dead' character is different from a 'deleted' character. You can keep dead characters as they are in a character slot on the Hardcore server and transfer them with their belongings to another server after if you want to. I have deleted my first couple of characters in order to keep the same name. I haven't seen this dealt with directly in the Hardcore FAQs but I would assume that a deleted character is beyond recovery or transfer. My first couple of characters didn't really have anything of worth so that is fine but if you do want to transfer any belongings then you will want to keep that character dead in your inventory and create a completely different character with a different name if you want to continue playing on the Hardcore server.

For the most part, it does look as though the ability to transfer characters and items from the Hardcore server will make cross server trades unnecessary. Nevertheless, the dice rolling continues!
Beyond the Collectibles and Cannith Essences on almost all servers, I got a Collapsible Hole on Ghallanda and another 75 Astral Shards on Sarlona for a total of 150 there.

It will be interesting to see how the character transfer prospect pans out.

I asked the question directly to Cordovan during one of his live streams, and he explained that the mechanic used is the same as they currently use to transfer characters. In other words, no manual intervention needed and it is pretty streamlined. I have gone through the process twice, once the old way where you submit a ticket (which worked fine but took a few days) and once using the transfer option available on the login GUI of the launcher which is super easy.

A couple of points - if you delete a character there is no getting it back or transferring it. You can, however, transfer a dead character from hardcore if you leave it in the land of lost souls instead of deleting it. If the name already exists on the receiving server, yes, you will get a -1 (or similar) appended to the name along with a free "Character Rename" token. Also, as far as I can gather, there will not be a transfer option FROM a standard server TO a hardcore server. At least that was the way it looks in the FAQ.
