Refined Dilithium Banked in Account Bank feature

gamesweetg

I would like it if we could also bank our refined dilithium in account bank besides energy credits as if one of your other characters was short on dilithium and you wanted to contribute dilithium to another fleet that your character is under. Then it would be helpful to save dilithium.

There really isn't that pressing of a need for such a feature, I'm afraid... As we can already move refined Dil between characters via the Dil/Zen exchange.

What you want actually exists, it's just not in an obvious location.

If you go to the Dilithium Exchange, you'll see that it has a Zen and Dilithium Balance. Those resources can be withdrawn by any character on your account. What you do is you make an offer to buy zen, an offer that will obviously not be accepted. Lets say you want to bank 100k Dilithium. Offer to buy 100k Dilithium worth of Zen at 25 Dil per Zen. The current exchange rate is about 335 Dil per Zen so obviously, the offer will not get any takers.

Post the offer and then just cancel it. When you do that, it puts the 100k Dilithum that you offered in your Dilithium Bank and that Dilithium can be accessed by any character on your account.

I'm aware of Dilithium exchange way but that doesn't work for me. I put up dilithium up for sale. Then I change to another character. Cancelled the Dilithium offer. But that doesn't add to my other character. Instead I've not got any back after cancelling the offer.

The character that posts the offer cancels the offer. Right after you post it, immediately cancel it. That puts the Dilithium in your exchange bank. Leave the Dilithium there.

Change characters, open the Exchange and claim the balance from the exchange bank to transfer the Dilithium to your alt.

I do it all the time, it works.

Stupid exchange. Why wasn't that made clearer in the game to right click the cancelled offer to get the dilithium back?

I just cancelled it but never got it back so I've lost the dilithium that I put up and cancelled the other time

Doh! I can't believe it was this easy all along! And here I was actually SELLING dil to get zen and then selling the zen to convert it back to dil on my other character! I lost dozens - perhaps hundreds - of dil each time (because of the different exchange rates for dil-to-zen and zen-to-dil - the latter is always lower).

To quote "Wheel of Fish!" from the movie "UHF": "YOU SO STUPID!"

Indeed, I am.
