    Default Can't buy a heroic Tome of Learning with an epic toon?

    Unless I'm just missing something. I'm not ready to TR the toon, but it doesn't have a heroic Tome. I know I'm going to TR soon, and am going to need the heroic XP tome. And they are on sale. Awesome. Wait. Can't buy one while I'm in epic levels. Really?

    Now most other tomes from the store are BtA. But the description for the XP tome doesn't say anything about bind status. Can anyone verify the bind status for me? I do have heroic toons that could buy the item if I'm SURE 100% that it's BtA and I can pass it.

    It would be really nice to see some more information in the descriptions for a lot of store items.

    I'm pretty sure they are BTA, having been in a similar situation as you. I've definitely bought several of them for my epic characters before they TRed, but I'm hesitant to give you a 100% certainty claim.

    Not being able to buy items that your currently logged in character can't use is one of the most aggravating things about the store.

    There's two selection circles next to the search field iirc, where you can choose to either filter the store so it only shows stuff your character can use right now, and one other that shows everything. Check the one that shows everything, and you should be able to buy a heroic tome even while over level 20.

    I know that I managed to buy an epic tome of learning while still below level 20. AFAIK the only things you cannot buy are the ones you already have, or own part of, the half-blood bundle showed up as unbuyable for me when it was 75% off since I already have half-elf but not half-orc.

    There is a workaround; in the Store UI:
    - uncheck "Filter for character"
    - check "Show all items".

    You should be able to place the order.

    For some items, this is true, but there are items that you simply cannot buy on a character that is currently logged in.

    Afaik, tomes are not among those items, however. Definitely not epic tomes, and I would guess not heroic tomes either.
