Smilegate should put a little blurb in its load screen where it shows your progression path that denotes that you should be funneling all the equipment up from your alts and to not worry about. I’m not sure that every player got the memo that you should be doing this, I know that people on these forums and the devs have said that it’s an intentional feature. I like to dual main in most MMO’s, but this game is slightly alt unfriendly in that regard. It’s more like you have a main character who’s a “CEO” and a bunch of employees that get drained by him
