from Elemental Forums

I did a search and watched the last video but, I still can't seem to transfer equipment between characters!

Drag and drop -- the transfering chars don't need to be grouped (at least in previous betas, only tried it in beta 2 with those in same party, and dragged the item onto the receivers small circle icon in the party list (above the bottom bar to the right of center -- the char icon on the far left of the screen should work too).

 

edited -- just checked, you can transfer items between widely separated chars using the char icons on the far left of the screen -- just drag/drop.

For some reason I can't seem to transfer the weapon my sovereign started with to someone else. Is this intentional?

Start11 - Customize the Start Menu and Taskbar in Windows 10/11.

Also note that you cannot trade equipped gear (or default starter gear, it seems).  If the gear icon has an E next to it, then it is equipped.

Well that's what I've been doing but, there is such a big difference in size between the characters icon and the size of items I can't tell when or where to drop the item. Drag & Drop just doesn't work that well with small icons.

Dunno if it's intentional but I can't either.  Starting items don't show in the "Items" list (bottom left bar), tho they show in the char screen (with char history and stats).

Yeah, I hate how I have to hang onto my original sucky sword. Even if it sold for zero, why can't I get rid of it?

You can equip another sword/weapon (I reckon you know that) so other than a 'housekeeping' thing, is there a problem I'm missing with just ignoring the original weapon?

In one game I found a very nice sword -- Lifesap, 10 attack, 0 combat speed.  Can't remember if it was from a quest or from killing a relatively strong mob.  It made fighting fun!
