Guild Wars 2

trophy? like, grey items? take them to a merchant, click ‘sell junk’, and you get some coin for them. merchants have an icon on the map that looks like a small pile of gold coins.
there are a couple items that are unsellable – those are event items. They are used for events or hearts for things like ‘help me gather rock elemental stones’. There would be someone nearby who you can turn them into to collect. If you can’t find them or missed the window to turn them in, they could just be deleted.

so you picked the armor with a weight that your profession can’t use? my first suggestion would be to put it into your bank, and maybe in the future you’ll make a new character that can use it. also, be sure to right-click those items and select ‘add to wardrobe’ or something like that. that will permanently make it so you can use that armor’s skin on anything you want, so you can’t lose the look.

In general, most account-bound items can’t have much done with them. A lot of the time, the only thing you can do is salvage them for a few crafting materials. There are other things you can do, however. such as throwing 4 similar items into the Mystic Forge and you get a random thing of that type out, which you can sell. Sometimes that method is advisable. But for special one-time items such as the ones you got from the deluxe upgrade, I would be sure you could use the skin again in the future. Sometimes, learning the skin for one weight class will give you the skin for all 3 on these special items.

If you picked the HEAVY set, you can use it for BL Key farming (assuming you have an open character slot).

You could also open a ticket and see if Customer Service might be able to help you out with a set that you can use (but that’s their call).

Most trophy items can be sold at a vendor (click the SELL tab and then SELL JUNK button).

First, I am trying to fix a big goof. I am new to the game and I got a free set of armor with my game purchase. It is account bound and I picked one that I can’t wear with my profession! Is there anything I can do with it? Sell it anywhere? Something!?

I also have really the same question for all these soul bound trophy items I pick. I have been having to destroy them to make room for my inventory. I can’t find anyplace to sell them, am I missing something?

if an item has no sell value, and is marked trophy, it is probably turn in item for a heart quest, if you did the related heart you can trash it.

far as getting the wrong gear, you can save it for another charachter, if its a gem store armor, you can unlock it before you trash the skin (i think) by right clicking then unlocking the armor.

Thank you so much! Sounds promising that I will get something out of it. I don’t want to bother the staff since it was my dumb mistake. Thank you for your help!
