Trade

You can trade unbound items and equipment with any player character that you meet in the game. If you are looking to trade a specific item, you can often find that item (or someone who wants yours) by posting a notice in the  channel.

To trade with a character, get close to them, target them and click on the Trade icon in the Focus Orb. This will open a window showing two panels: "My Offer" and "Their Offer".

Drag items from your inventory into the My Offer panel. You can also trade money by clicking in the coin amount boxes and typing in the number of coins you want to trade.

You must have room in your backpack equal to the number of items you will receive, even if the items stack. Trading away items in the same trade does not free up pack space for this purpose, so 2 characters with full packs will be unable to trade anything until one or both free up some pack space somehow.

To trade stacked items, press and hold Ctrl while dragging a stack of items. A window will pop up. Enter the number of items you would like to drag and click on OK. Once each player has added the items and money they want to the trade window, each player must click on the Accept button to complete the transaction. If either player adds/removes/changes anything in the offer, both parties must agree (again).

Trades can be one-sided, gifts - you present an offer, the other player offers "nothing", and you both accept. (Note - This can sometimes confuse players if you do not make it clear that you want nothing in return.)

The haggle skill has no effect on player to player trades, not unless you, the player, have a good haggle yourself.

Note: All trades in the game are final (unless the other player is willing to trade back). Be sure you are comfortable with a trade before you click on the Accept button!

Trading between your own characters
This is actually harder than trading between characters of different players.

If the item is unbound, you can mail it. (The mail will not allow any bound gear to be sent, not even Bound to Account gear to other alts in your Account.)

If you're VIP or have purchased access from the DDO Store, you can use the shared bank to transfer Bound to Account items.

If you have multiple accounts, you can also dual-box and use the standard procedure, above.
