Guild Wars 2

Hey, guys! I’ve a question, and it might sound a bit silly – but I want to make sure of things before accidentally screwing it up for myself, so; don’t bite my head off!

I am working my way to making the Flameseeker Prophecies, the legendary shield. I still need a good deal of farming in regards of crafting materials, but the precursor shield, the Chosen, I already own. It’s sitting in my bank, as I’ve no characters to actually use it with.

My question is the following; if I unlock the skin for the Chosen; will it be still usable in crafting the legendary just the same, after turning account-bound?

It’s the first time I put a legendary together, and I’m really iffy about messing around with the precursor, so – help me out, fellas!

Yes, account-bound or even soulbound items are still usable in the mystic forge. This means you could equip it and use it on a character until you have the other components, and then still combine it.

I see. Cheers for the swift reply! Takes a load of worry off my mind.

Soul bound shield does work, i equipped my shield on my guardian to stop myself from selling it to buy other shinnies. Of course once u craft the shield and equip it, you will gain the The Chosen skin as well. However since you said you have no characters that actually use shield you might wanna consider making another legendary.
