Can Influence and Infamy be sent from NA to EU accounts and vice-versa?
If so is there a limit to what can be sent. I tried to send a 1,000,000 influence and 1,000,000 infamy and they both failed.

Not at this time.
Other than market servers The EU and NA games are totally separate.
You can however do a market transfer.

Nope, not at the moment because the NA and EU global names are seperate systems.


The only common server is the market one, so it is possible for an EU character on one side to place rare / trivial (like an Intangibility TO) onto the market and then your NA character buys it for a lot of money, hence money flows from the NA side to the EU side (minus the 10% Wentworths Commission of course),

Is there way for me to place bids so my characters get the transfers first? I'll look into this. I should have asked this question first, can money be put into the market and bid on?

Nope, what I do is on my EU account log in and check Wentworths Atlas for a Training Origin Enhancement with 0 for sale and 0 bids. Then go off and get that and stick it on the market for 100,000 inf or so.



Log on as the NA account and look up the item. Verify there is still only 1 for sale and 0 bidding and then buy it for however much you want to transfer. The EU account can then log in again and collect the funds.


There's always a small risk that someone sticks the same Enhancement up at the second you place a bid, but it should be a tiny risk. You could also spread / lower the risk by doing a few smaller transfers rather than one big one if you liked.

Here's what we did before gleemail:

http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Inf_Transfer

That's the simple version. I do the extra-paranoid version.

ON CHARACTER THAT WANTS MONEY:
1) Pull a high-level DO from my stores.
2) Make sure there are none for sale; check date of last sale.
3) Put it up for [say] 13,786 inf.
4) Put up bid on same DO for 13,787 inf.

SWITCH TO CHARACTER WHO WANTS TO GIVE MONEY:
5) Go to Wents/BM.
6) Check that same DO to make sure that
6a) only one is for sale
6b) The last sale wasn't today
6c) The last sale wasn't for 13,787.

If any of those are false, the transaction is risky. Don't do it.
7) Bid 13,785 to make sure there isn't some spurious item for sale below my price. This is paranoia, but I've moved tens of billions and never lost any of it.
8) Cancel that bid and bid the real amount I want to transfer plus 10%.So if you want the poor character to have 200 million, bid 223 million.
9) (optional) relist the item at 1, selling for 13,787 to the original owning character.

SWITCH BACK TO EX-POOR CHARACTER:
Collect money, collect DO, go about my business.

If you don't have a DO to use, you can usually find a high level SO with only one for sale and buy it for under 50K. You have to be really careful about making sure that there are no extras for sale; they don't make level 47 DO's any more, but the system makes level 47 SO's all the time.

So you think you're a hero, huh.

I actually used to have two level 30+ TOs that spawned while I was exemplared and playing with a friend for this purpose. But I vendored them back in i17.

Some of the mid-level junk recipes and IOs work great too. Like a low-level snipe set. I used one of those once before deleting the IO.

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.
