Guild Wars 2

Are ascended weapons account bound / soul bound / or open to trade?

(on aquire) as in, would I need to have both weaponsmithing and artificing on my main to get the various weapons I would need. Or can an alt do one of them and put the result in the bank for my other char to pick up?

I was wondering that myself (I know they aren’t open to trade with other players) specifically about if you gain the weapon as a drop. Hopefully it would be account bound, since if it were soulbound there would be almost no chance of getting one you’d want on that character.

They are account bound on acquire

Both account bound on acquire (craft) and soul bound on equip.
