Guild Wars 2

So I log in to use my, previously soul bound, recipe on my alt. Only to find that I cant move it into his inventory or use it from the bank because its still ‘soul bound’. It says ‘account bound’ now, but I cannot transfer or use recipes and the obsidian shards.

yeah, same problem here …

perhaps it only affects newly acquired recipes?

Having the same issue as well, though the recipes were not soul bound prior to this patch. And I am of the correct skill level to learn them.

well imho it shouldn’t be such a big deal to “unbind”. Oherwise they should write in the patch notes that this only applies for recipes purchased post-patch.

Prior to this patch I wasted so much karma on purchasing recipes with one character with the intent on tossing them in the account bank and picking them up with the character who does the related crafting, only to find out the items were soulbound to the first character. The most annoying part? No warning about the recipes being bound at all is mentioned in their description on the vendors.

Will that be retro-active to recipes we’ve already ‘learned’ ? Or only unused recipes?

Will the upcoming patch also be covering making siege plans account bound instead of soulbound?

Thanks for the response, Linsey!

Great to know it’s going to be fixed, but I’m still curious… when is the next build planned to be released? Tonight? A week? A month?

afaik the next patch is planned for 1/10 (I read this somewhere in this forum), correct me if I’m wrong.

It means that you can buy recipes with one character for another character to learn. It does not mean multiple characters get to use a single copy of the recipe.
