I'm pretty new to Rubi-Ka (or Newbi-Ka, if you will), in my second (or third maybe?) week.
I keep talking to, or hearing, people that are collecting stuff to pass to their alt or new characters.
How exactly do you go about this?

I assume you know how to collect stuff,s o I cwon't comment on that.
Transfering to an alt, though, is another thing. You need someone to help you. Either a friend/guildie/stranger/a second account you control. Give the items to the other char, log off, log on with your alt, and have the person with your stuff give them back.
If it's valuable stuff, I advice you to use someone you trust.
Thanks for the quick reply.
The logical way it seemed to me was to duplicate your apartment key and then use someone to pass that to your alt (but the key duplicator doesn't work on your apartment key so that threw that theory out).
Well, thanks again. Guess I might seek the aid of some new arrivals with the promise of sexual fav...er, I mean free low QL armour and weapons...
most people will gladly help you for free..
i've done it a couple of time when i was idle or waiting for my
wife to finish her sales.. there's no general rules to say if you
could trust s/o or not..
There's some well-known guildies whose members will be
trustable (or they will face consequences i bet), but non
guilded guys, are trustable too.. (i'm not in a guild)
i've already transfered high QL (100-200) stuff and 4M creds
from a level 200 guy to his/her alt.. i've never see so much money
in my account since those few minutes

To my knowledge, there is no way to transfer something except by passing it to others. In the long distant past, you could put something on the ground and let your alt (or someone else) pick it up. Things were changed, though, so that anything placed on the ground remembers who put it there and won't let anyone else pick it up.

I strongly recommend against seeking someone "new". Many times, "new" people aren't. And people who truly are new won't have a clue what you are asking them to do.Originally posted by Delameko Stone

My suggestion is seeking out someone who is much higher level than your main. Most of what you would be transferring would likely be worthless to them anyway.
You might also ask people from well-known guilds. Most well-know/respected guilds won't stand for a member ripping off someone else in a transfer.
Finally, there are some bugs in the trade window which prevents some traded items from appearing until the user "zones". Credits can also appear to "disappear" if you're not careful. Nothing is worse than someone thinking the other is a thief.
I also confirm what is in containers before I accept the trade. I've seen people trade the wrong container, insist some foul play was involved, only to discover the container they thought they traded still in their bank or something.
On a side note, apartments are supposed to be MUCH improved in Shadowlands. What you initially suggested may well be a possibility when Shadowlands is released.

I drop stuff in bag on ground and pick the items from bag with the alt, but you have to be quick or bag with items decay and gm's will not give it back, so it is a certain risk involved.

I have advised several times to visit the superior shops.
When I need a transfer and no one I know is on, I just go to the shops and pick out a guilded high level player who always has been more then happy to help me.
I would suggest though to take up as little time as possible to the person you are asking, make sure both of the characters are already situated in the same shop
*la la land*
FIRST ORDER 4 evah!
An even longer time ago, you could log on your account twice from the smae computer, run it in windows, and transfer between your own chars.
Remember patch 12.6...!
Lots of great info.
Makes more sense to me know to find a high level player, less chance they'll want to steal my belongings if nothing else.
And I realised a second flaw in the apartment key trading thing, I've got two Omni characters and they both have the same apartment (in the same backyard and everything). If one of them had keys to both, how would they know which they were entering... I guess that's why Funcom don't allow apartment key duplication...
I hope apartments are better in Shadowlands... they really are underused.

Concerning the process which you can transfer items and money to your alternate character WITHOUT any help from anybody, a big improvement was found.
Traditionally, there is a particular way of opening two clients simultaneously as follows:
The easiest way is to simply do this, double-click the AO icon and then click yes to the eula, NOW, quickly double-click the AO icon again BEFORE the first client finishes reading the 49 files. If you do this in time, then the clients will share system resources evenly and both will respond to the connection port, and so the server requests.
You should have two clients loaded now. Go to first client, type the info and proceed to the character selection screen. STOP! Go to second client, type the info and proceed to the character selection too. Now, click log in and IMMEDIATELY go back to first client and click log in too. Either of the clients will ask something like "Do you want to open two AO instances?". Of course, you click yes.
Sidenote: You cannot open the second client if the first one is fully loaded. This is because AO checks whether the client is in the computer memory so you have to be quick before the check is done.
But after Alien Invasion, it seems that the client has been changed in a certain ways. To simplify that, you do NOT need to take care the sequence of opening two clients. You simply double-click the client whenever you want to use a second account.
i.e.
1 Open 1st account and log in and start playing
2 Open 2nd account and log in and play (Yes, this step is possible now)
3 Close 1st account and Open 3rd account (Again, this is no problem)
However, the game clients do not know how to distribute system resouces (memory usage). As a result, only the first client will use an appropriate amount of resources. You should feel laggy, graphically laggy in second or third clients.

Have you forgetten?
Let me just remind you all that, logging in with two characters on the SAME account is an exploit...
Do it and face the consequenses...
Just a friendly reminder
Did all people forget to read the post before typing the reply?
There are a few steps teaching you how to create the SECOND account.

some people are just anti-social. no one's talking about relying on your friends all the time for every little thing you could do yourself. it's just a small favor to ask of someone for every blue moon.
Why not just go into Game Suggestions and offer to FC some ideas for a mechanism to allow swapping money and items between the alts of an account?
After all, there is nothing inherently wrong with such transfers, since they are performed all the time via third parties. Furthermore, FC might well look very favorably on such an idea since it would relieve the petition system of the burden of dealing with transfer scams, so it would work in their interest in that respect.
It's pretty easy to come up with workable schemes for this. For example, Shift-RightClick on a bank could bring up the shared bank slots for an account, accessible by all the account's alts. This may in fact be the answer to the huge problem of bank overflow as a result of the influx of new SL items, so it could kill two birds with the same stone.
Whoever designed the Jobe luxury apartments, could I hire you please? :-)
Shared bank for 1 account..
that would be soo neat..if it were also a little bigger
I`ve never had problems transferring stuff to alts, but i mostly do it in-guild (or in-alliance as it is).
and bags are tricky...
