Guild Wars 2

I crafted an exotic set of armor for a character. While it was in inventory I mistakenly added a set of expensive (sup rune of Traveler) runes to it. I didn’t realize that it would soulbind it to the crafting character. I thought I had to put it on.

Is there nay way to salvage (or partially salvage) my mistake? Any ideas would be most helpful.

Was there a way to transmutate with another item?

You cannot un-do soul-binding. If you salvage the item and are lucky in saving the rune you put into it, you might be able to the sell the rune, but lose the armor. The other option would be buying that new item that removes a rune from an item. I cannot promise that the rune will not be soul-bound. I THINK it wont be soul-bound. The armor, however? That’s permanently bound. No way to un-do that, at all.

In due time they are bound to put soul rippers into the gem shop for a low low price of 1000 gems.

Thanks
Got runes back with cheaper Black Lion Salvage Kits.
Lesson learned.

Um there is a way to break soulbinding although it will cost a lot of gems

1: use the upgrade extractor to salvage the rune if you want to keep it (though, frankly just buying a new rune would be cheaper than the extractor)

2: transmute the looks of the exotic onto the stats of a white or blue piece of armor to make it account bound

3: pass to the character that you want to put the armor on

4: use a transmutation splitter to give you back the account bound white or blue item plus the exotic armor now soulbound to the toon that used the splitter

But, again, that’s pretty pricey and probably cheaper to rebuy the mats and recraft the armor.

By the way, transmuting and then splitting also resets the ability to choose the stats on ascended items like the light of dwayna – in case you ever feel the need to do that.

If you use an of level white/blue, you can transmute the upgrade over in it. Then when you split, you’ll get the upgrade seperate and just have to reapply it.
