lknewsome Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Has anyone run across the problem of purchases not showing up in the collections part of the Cartel Market? And while we're at it could anyone tell me if purchases of items from other players are supposed to show up also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragondog Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Purchasing from other characters do not show up in your account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveTheCynic Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 If you *just* buy the item and claim it from the "Unclaimed items" view, that is not enough for it to be in Collections. You have to use / equip / whatever the item: * Wear armour or put it in an Outfit Designer slot or have a companion wear it. * Carry a weapon or have a companion carry it. * Put a colour crystal or weapon tuning in a weapon. * Modify in any way a weapon or piece of armour (insert armoring/hilt/barrel, mod, or enhancement, add tuning or crystal) * Use a mount, emote, or toy. Possibly other things. Any of those will put the item in Collections. If that isn't happening, it's ticket time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediQuaker Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 (edited) * Wear armour or put it in an Outfit Designer slot or have a companion wear it. I'm not sure about the companion part. It seems to me that your character has to equip it. But in any case, you just have to equip it - once it's unlocked, it stays unlocked, and you can remove it. Several times, I've equipped an entire armor set to unlock it and then removed the parts of the set I didn't want to wear and/or transferred the set (or parts of it) to a companion. Edit - I forgot to mention. If you buy just one piece of a 'set' of armor, it won't show up in collections. You have to buy and equip the whole set.

SteveTheCynic Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I'm not sure about the companion part. It seems to me that your character has to equip it. It does work on the companion. In essence, the requirement, no matter what you are trying to inject into Collections, is that you permanently bind(1) the item to your character. Equipping armour or weapons directly onto a companion does bind them to the character. (1) The 36-hour "new CM purchase" bind doesn't count, of course.

Adric_the_Red Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 For armor, you have to equip all the pieces of the set on the same character to unlock it. Depending on the "set", this could be just one piece, or as many as 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JediQuaker Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 im having the same issue here atm If you bought it from the CM, did you "claim" the item from the CM window? Did you equip the weapon, or 'all' the pieces of an armor set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you equip the weapon, or 'all' the pieces of an armor set? And bear in mind for an eight-piece set (Resort Swimwear, Ancient Je'daii, Darth Malgus Reborn, etc.), you *can* do it because the pieces don't have to *all* be equipped at the same time. Example: to fully bind the Resort Swimwear set, equip one chest, then the other, then all the other pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
