Bound vs unbound single use items

[Eggy]

So, I feel stupid for needing to ask this ... when I have a mix of bound and unbound single use items like fleet ship modules, keys, etc. ... how do I ensure that the ones that are bound get consumed first?! You know, because I might want to sell the unbound ones some day.

you just need to check that you use the bound items.

If you put the unbound ones into your ACCOUNT bank - not your character's individual bank! - they become invisible to the character so cannot be accidentally used.

yea, do that. bc the game has weird prefs regarding that. it sometimes prefers bank stored items over inventory items.
no idea why and when.

[andreasaspenberg575]

account bank generally hides items but, character bank does not. if you put them in the character bank you might use them by accident but, not from the account bank.

Thanks, all! I'll do that.

That's why I specified account, not character, bank. Items in your character bank are still usable, but items in your account bank are not.
