Guild Wars 2

Okay, I made a deldimor rifle barrel instead of a pistol barrel. My bad. But now, there’s nothing I can do with it. I can’t sell it, because it’s account bound.

I’m out the equivalent of about 10 gold. I’ll live, but here’s my gripe. I can sell tailoring and leatherworking ascended parts, such as damask coat linings, but I can’t sell the rifle barrel. Why?

I can sell things like the deldrimor steel plated dowel, too. So why make ascended weapon parts account bound?

Yep. Welcome to people who have no interest in crafting ascended. We’re positively bombarded by dust and empyreals and other crud we have no use for. It’s never a good day until I destroy some ascended mats xD

This is one of those inexplicable oddities, given that ascended armour components can be sold. I guess the answer is either that ANet changed their minds between weapons and armour and didn’t get around to making retroactive changes or else they were making some deliberate decision based on reasoning I cannot fathom.

I had no idea this couldn’t be sold. I knew other components (like damask coat linings) could, and just assumed they all could.
does it go like this: armor components are sellable and weapon components are not? or are some weapon components sellable and others not?

I would say it works that way based on searching gw2spidy, but it wouldn’t surprise me if there was some bizarre exception. Ascended inscriptions and plated dowels can be bought and sold though.

Because NPC don’t trust you to have put it together correctly – so if you don’t use it yourself, thats just a sign for bad manufacturing
