| Author | why cant alternate chars send artifacts for repair? |
|---|
i'm not questioning the law as i know there might be a good reason and that reason i would like to know.
tnx in advance. |
Because this would be a loophole how the alt chars could financial assist the mainchar and boost the smithlevel.
E.g. we had one char that the whole "family" was sending arts for repairing - 10% repair at 150% repairprice. |
| i had guessed tht part archmage but the thing is sending arts for repair to one's multi or alt is expected to be accusable but why to others too? |

| Because you could push a friends Skill while he is pushing your over alt chars. |
| Any multi characters are forbidden to repair others' items and/or send their items for repair to others. Without connection to IPs. |
| 3.13.3. Additional characters are not allowed to transfer items for repairing or enchanting. |
The original intention was, I believe, for each player to only have a single character. Additional Characters were only ever allowed as a way to "familiarize yourself with features of other factions". Additional Characters are in no way intended to have the same capacities as a Main Character. After all, a Main Character can change to *any* faction and develop in that faction, so why have more than one?
Over time, the list of restrictions on Additional or Alternate characters has become longer and longer as people find new ways to exploit these extra characters to boost their Main.
As Arghmage notes, the main reason for the restriction on repairing artifacts is to prevent opportunities to boost the Main Character. It also prevents opportunities for boosting *friends* of the Main Character. If Additional Characters could send items to be repaired, there would be endless groups of players exchanging repairs between their characters to boost the smithing/enchanting skills of the Mains for no real cost to the Main Characters. There have been definite examples of these "exchanges", even between players playing on both servers (one player boosts his friends character on .ru, the other player boosts his friends character on .com).
It should be noted that most regular artifacts are not worth repairing since selling and re-buying a similar item costs less. The items that *are* worth repairing are hard for Additional Characters to obtain. It is difficult for an additional character to get Thief Items (must use diamonds to enter TG). Enchanted Items are also difficult for Additional Characters to obtain due to the need to enchant the items themselves. So really, in most cases, there is no actual need for an Additional Character to have an item repaired in the first place.
Have Fun
