How do you safely transfer a name between accounts?

[Riches]

Does anybody have a safe way?

http://www.sythe.org/name-sales/1506579-what-really-makes-rare-name-rare-how-transfer-name.html In here shows how you can do it, but there are other ways you can do it for example getting a name banned and having it pre-typed before switching (good idea if you want it on a main account, rare occasions jagex will pick a name for you.) it's also very risky though.

Isn't it easy for people to steal with the 1 month method?

yeah, but to combat people using autoclickers and such try doing the 1 month method after a system update for example the ones that barely happened would have been a good time to have done it. just be very quick.

You have complete control over when the name drops with the 1 month method. If it's a very rare name it'll be sought after no matter how you're transferring it, so it's best to consult someone familiar with the process if you haven't done it before. If you're transferring something that's semi-rare but not really worth sniping you can probably get away with taking no special precautions and transferring it using the method listed there

This name is very rare and would be much sought after, how soon can I transfer the name to another account and why does the guide advise to wait a few days?

 

[Flufferz1]

Someone who notices the exact day you changed it will know exactly when it can change and might try on that day to steal it

If it's really very rare, someone is likely targeting it. It's an unfortunate reality of the way name changing is handled.

As soon as you change the name on the account, it becomes available for anyone to take if that's what you mean? You can transfer the name immediately after the 28 days are up, but people usually wait a couple days because of what Fluff said

"it becomes available for anyone to take if that's what you mean?"

So it doesn't take 28 days? I'm confused.

Well after the second change of course.. If you're transferring "Hello", you'd change the name to "Hello123" and after 28 days change it to "Hello456".. As soon as it's changed to "Hello456", "Hello" becomes available. That's what I meant above, the way I said it was a little strange

So the original name does not become available until after I have changed my name for the second time when I can instantly change the account I want the name on to it?

If the name is very rare, there is a very good chance it will get banned if you move it. (personal experience)
