Server Transfer Question

Is it possible to move a mule (on the same account) over to a different server, or does it have to be all characters on the same account?

It seems to me that at some point I'm going to have to buy what I'm needing for my SMN from a different server (since no one seems to craft Hexed gear on Cerberus that often). The issue is I don't want to move my main since I'd lose my name, etc. I'd rather send a mule to make the purchase and then 3 days later bring that toon back.

Thoughts?

Yes you can transfer mules over to another server w/o affecting your main char. I've done it recently 2 months ago.

Edit: You could create a new char on the server you'd want to go to, then tranfer that back to your main's server. But then how would you get gil to that new char you just created? That's another issue.

You can send any and/or all 1$ Char within same account using a single purchase, and iirc, you have a short amount of time to transfer them (for example, you can send 3 out 16 chars to a server, then in the next day, send the other 13 without paying another fee.

So, i sugest you create a char in your current server to load him with cash. Create another one in the server you will transfer your mule. Pay server transfer, send the cash mule, trade the item to new mule and send the new mule back using the same server transfer fee (its valid for a week).

What the what?

Okay, I need to read what you said over again lol. Sounds cool though.

EDIT: The idea I had was simply to send one of my mules with the gil to the new server, buy the item and come back 3 days later. But from what you're saying you can come back without paying an additional $18, right?

If this is true, this is good to know. I didn't know about this.

Basically he's saying all your chars (including mules) can transfer "once" - valid for a week.

Step 1: Create mule #1 (load w/ the gil), transfer to wanted server to buy w/e.
Step 2: Create mule #2 on other server already so you can trade mule #1 for the item just purchased.
Step 3: Transfer mule #2 back to your main's server to give to yourself.

You can create a new char in any server you want without any fee, suposing its payed already.

The 1 week to transfer comes from the official faq:

"Can I transfer a character that I forgot to transfer?
If it is still within a week of your World Transfer, you may still transfer an additional character. After verifying there are no forgotten items in your delivery box or at the auction house, please us by clicking here.
Only in cases where it is judged necessary, an additional world transfer requests will be processed."
