Found a way to make Bound to Account items/weapons

[cdemeritt]

So, today I accidentally stumbled onto a way to make the Bound shards Bound to Account...





Start with bound to account items, and when you disjunction them, like guild slots or base metal, the Bound to account blank remains Bound to account...

Don't yet know if this is intended, or even if this is known about..

[WielderofGigantus]

So where do you get bound to account random items? I know of a couple of quest chains that give in bound to account end rewards for completing the entire chain, but as it's random stuff, you won't always get the nice metal or guild augment that you're looking for....

[Tuney]

Best place to find "Bind to Account" items are quest(s) (chains) that give named "Bound to account" items. Sence you don't care about the 'quaility' of said item, best to start with the 'shorter' quick chains that you can solo on higher level charaters.

The only place i can think oof that gives bta non-named equipment, is Sharn Syndicate. i didnt no they gave items with materials? do they?

yes

and the lordsmarch plaza quest end rewards too.

I've pulled BtA non-named items from every quest chain (WW, STK, Sharns, Tangleroot, Delera's Co6, etc, etc) As well as occasionally from Irestone, Sharns, and others (sharns most often, but others as well...)


Always that I've seen, it has been an end reward.
just make sure it is a random and not named item.

Been this way as said earlier for a while. Makes it so you can have lowbie gear in the shared bank for another character when you make another. This better stay the way it is.

Do we have a dev post anywhere stating this is WAI? It seems odd, since we're supposedly getting a non-bound crafting system later to go with the bound one.

Yeah, it seemed odd to me as well... But do hope this is WAI, as it will make crafted gear for other at a lower crafter level....

The BtA-ness of the items in original form is WAI, but i'm not sure the CRAFTABILITY of BtA items at every level of crafting is. It'd be nice if they left it like that tho. BtC makes this GS lite (well, in some cases it's better; you don't need cleansing essences to wear more than one.)

This is not intended. In this phase of crafting all crafted items should remain Bound to Character. A bug has been entered to fix this.

Even if the item was (random) BtA when looted? This should be an incentive to run those quests that reward BtA items. Otherwise it is placing another limit on what we can do with this game. I do not see the harm in it other than the min lvl bug (which is fixed)

And people take it easy on the developers, they have their hands in multiple areas that need fixing and have a lot on their plate. I can send you some Ashwaghanda and Rhodiola to help ease your mental stress (just kidding, but seriously look for it at a vitamin store it helps)
Maybe I should apply for work there. You guys hire practitioners? Will work for TP

I really hope that "fixing" this bug won't break other BtA items in the game.

I can currently put a Carnifex in the stone of change to add Alchemical Force Damage to the weapon and still have a BtA Carnifex. If my Carnifexi all suddenly turned to BtC weapons, I'd be a very sad camper.

That's not WAI. In order to use the eldritch rituals on an item, it has to be bound with Khyber shrds first, which makes it BTC. If it's still only BTA, then it's a bug.

But the bind/attune ritual on a BTA item maintains the item as BTA (not BTC). I see no reason this should be considered a bug necessarily. Where does it say that the Bind/Attune Ritual should make all items BTC (not just Bound of some type)?

If you put a BtA item into the stone of change with the Khyber shards, that item remains BtA. It has worked that way for a very long time (possibly since BtA existed, but not sure).

That's not a bug; devs have (somewhere) stated such. BTA stays BTA for the eldrich stuff. New crafting is different.

Typical developer response...

Beneficial to the player base... Check!

Must be nerfed immediately!!!

All quest chains have these items. Waterworks, STK, Catacombs, Threnal, etc.

[ZaxisDakmorr]

I found A LOT of em in the Red Fens as quest reward.
