Ascended gear account bound?
Taken from the wardrobe release article:
“If you currently have items that have been transmuted, you will unlock the appearance for both the first item used for stats and the last item used for appearance in your final transmuted item. This means that if you have only transmuted a given item once (for example, if you’ve used a single Transmutation Stone to combine the appearance of Dawn with the stats of another greatsword) you’ll unlock the skins for both items in that transmutation.”
So if you leave your armor as is until the 15th, you will be able to bind your T3 Cultural skins (only usable by Norn) AND your ascended armor skins. However, if you are attempting to move the actual ascended armor stats to your Charr, I do not believe that will work. I may be wrong, but the armor itself will not become account bound…only the skins of the armor.
Confirming the stats will become account-bound as I stated in my first reply:
“In the upcoming April feature build, we will be converting all legendary and ascended equipment to be account-based. This means ascended equipment will always remain account-bound and will not soulbind to a character when equipped. Legendary weapons will continue to be tradeable until equipped, at which point they will become account-bound (rather than soulbound). As part of this change, we will convert all the existing ascended and legendary equipment that is soulbound to be account-bound instead.”
Taken from Feature Patch; Accountbound
Armors bind based on their stats, which are Ascended as stated in the openers post and title, so they will be accountbound. The issue will be that Norn Cultural Armor is (or should) only be equipable by Norn.
