Possibly a dim-as-a-plank question: If I transfer my credits from bank to cash, leaving only the amount in the bank that I want to spend on FP....and then some cheeky Reb shoots me while overt....can s/he loot the lot off me? I dont PvP and am not clear on the consequences of getting toasted while overt?

No, you can't be looted.

In fact, there's no real difference that I know of between holding your credits on your person or in the bank. Although as an old UO vet, I am in the habit of stashing things in the bank often.

But no, there's no danger in holding credits on your person.

I have afew questions regarding buying faction as a smuggler. I assume an Imperial smuggler buys Imp faction and a rebel smuggler buys rebel faction, is that correct? Also, at what level can you start to actually buy faction. Finally, is the only way to improve your own faction to get another smuggler to sell you some (other than grinding it of course)? Meaning, you can't buy faction for yourself in any meaningful amount.

Yes. Imperial Smugglers buy Imperial Faction. Rebel Smugglers buy Rebel Faction.

Underworld IV skill needed to buy faction.

This is true. Since you are capped at 500 for buying faction, you cannot really buy yourself a significant amount. You'll have to get someone to "hold" the faction for you and then transfer it back if you want to buy yourself a significant amount. Make sure they're a Colonel too though, so you lose less in the exchange rate when it comes back to you.

This macro is called faction:

/del [customer] 100;
/conversationstart;
/pause 2;
/ui action conversationResponse5;
/pause 2;
/ui action conversationResponse3;
/pause 2;
/ui action conversationResponse0;
/pause 2;
/conversationstop;

This macro is called faction500:

/macro faction;
/pause 10;
/macro faction;
/pause 10;
/macro faction;
/pause 10;
/macro faction;
/pause 10;
/macro faction;
/pause 10;

This one is called faction 2K:

/macro faction500;
/pause 55;
/macro faction500;
/pause 55;
/macro faction500;
/pause 55;
/macro faction500;
/pause 55;
/tell eanow done;

I put the three macros in the toolbar, and I hit the 2K one once I get the name in faction correct. I run 2K at a time, and use 500 or 100 to finish it off (like if a customer wanted 2500, or lag caught me and one run didn't go through)

The tell at the bottom of the 2K one is helpful since it lets me know with an audio cue when it's done since I often will alt-tab or do like some calculus homework while running it.

I ran into a problem with the "faction" macro.

del [customer] 100;
/conversationstart;
/pause 2;
/ui action conversationResponse5; <--- For me at least, this option is the "I might have some information for you..". Changed to Response4 and the macro hummed right along. Just an FYI.
/pause 2;
/ui action conversationResponse3;
/pause 2;
/ui action conversationResponse0;
/pause 2;
/conversationstop;

Ok, I've never delegated faction points to anybody, since I don't sell FP's mainly. But this raises a question.... I know that you lose FP's when delegating (how much depends on rank as we all know), so wouldn't the amount you delegate be MORE than 100 if you wanted to send them 100 FP's?

If you're a Colonel the ratio is 1.18:1, so wouldn't you do /del [customer] 118 so that they receive 100 FP's? Or does doing /del [customer] 100 send them 100 but 118 gets deducted from you?

When you delegate 100, it costs you 118 at colonel, 125 at lt col, etc. The recipient always gets the number that you /del unless you don't have enough fp to pay for the cost, in which case nothing happens and you get a system message.

Ah, I've always wondered about that. Glad to see SOE didn't make our lives utter Hell by making us have to do that math when delegating FP's Thanks for the info
