Mailing Account Bound Items? Help!

kzmaster

Hey gang, having an issue with Champions Online's mailing system,

Issue: Can't mail item to myself even though it's account bound and I've done it once already.

I bought the Super-Magnifier for a growth based character only to find out that, over the Summer (according to July 17th's patch notes https://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/championsonline#/discussion/1211564/release-notes-7-17-2018 ) , they got rid of the FX on Miniaturization Drive, rendering the whole 8 Enrage + Mini Drive + Nano Swarm for ridiculous growth fun moot.

Now Super-Magnifier is really the only way for a big character (albeit temporarily cause of combat) but the build is a total bust now. I want to delete this character since it's taking up a Freeform slot (Not a lifetime sub) but I don't want to lose the Magnifier since that'd be 10 bucks down the toilet.

I looked into mailing the item to myself and it worked once before, but now when I try to mail it it's greyed out and won't let me click and drag it from the Inventory.

Is there a limit on how many times you can mail an item to yourself or is this a bug?
Any help is appreciated.

(Using the UNTIL Terminal at the Rec)

If you mailed it before, it's because it wasn't account-bound yet (some items only become bound once equipped).

When the item is account-bound, the only way to trade it between toons is to have a Hideout, which comes with an Account Bank. One character can put an item in there, and another one on the same account can get it out, even after account binding.

You cannot mail account bound items. You can only transfer them via a hideout bank. Super mag used to not bind at all.

Thank you both very much for answering, I really appreciate it.

Man I wish I knew this a year ago, would of saved me at least 30 bucks in accidentally deleted items.

Does the player value pack (do not know what it's called) come with a hideout?

pantagruel01

No, you now have to actually buy a hideout unless you get LTS, there's no option of 'subscribe 1 month and get a free hideout'.

There should be a quest to get a free hideout. It's just too huge a QOL improvement for people not to have one u3u also all these homeless heroes seems odd considering we have all these champion-based organizations in game that could easily ensure every hero has a proper hero home. Add a quest to Unity or something.​​

You could have gotten one last anniversary for 750 coins.
