Level 1 mailing limitations

[Softskin 0]

Hi there. Bit a lame first post, but I can't seem to find information on this anywhere - apologies if a thread like this already exists.

I'm trying to transfer low level green items across the neutral AH to kick-start an alliance alt character. I keep getting an "Internal mail database error" when I go to send 10 silver to my second account's level 1 character from my alliance character's bank alt, so he can purchase the items my horde character puts on the neutral AH and mail them back to my alliance alt on my main account. If you follow...

Basically, can level 1 characters send in game mail normally to any other character, or do they have to be higher level?

Thanks.

It's to slow down gold spammers. You need to be at least level 10 or 11 to send mail, IIRC.

Thanks for the response.

I kind of half expected this to be the case but was hoping to not have to level the secondary account's character to transfer leveling greens.

I will give you an example that should help you.

Say you have a lvl 30 Alliance with gold and items you want to transfer to a lvl 1 Horde.

On your low level alt, do a little bit of questing and sell your trash as well so you have some kind of money, copper, a few silver etc.

Take both to the neutral auction house (booty bay is fairly convenient)

Create auctions with the higher level Alliance toon with the items you want to send, make it a 1 copper bid and 1 copper buyout, then purchase with the low level Horde

Create an auction with the low level with something insignificant, like a piece of food or something and place it for the buyout of the amount of money you want from your higher level Alliance toon. Then buy it out with the Alliance toon and check your mail with the low level Horde.

You shouldn't have any problems this way that I know of.

 

Now if your higher level alliance and your new horde alt are on the same account than this will not work as you cannot buyout an auction from a characters you posted it with from the same account. The best bet would be to have the Horde alt on the second account and do what I mentioned above.
