Guild Wars 2

So, I love the rewards so far………………………..but not on my one character high enough to do them. I would love have it on my guardian or a future necro for example…….but as long as it is soul bound, that is simply not possible.

yes it would be nice i agree

Just leave it in the mail and grab it on an alt. It’s soulbound on acquire, then soulbound in your inventory.

Oh noes, soulbound! This was my fear. Now I have six alts I need to get through all of the Halloween stuff this weekend.

@caliber have you tested that? seems like a nice workaround if it works,

I’ll test now to confirm.

UPDATE: Sorry, but you can’t turn the books in twice, even though you can gather them. Can’t test to see if this works due to that, but if someone hasn’t done it on a higher level toon yet and wants to test go for it.

I tried earlier, the mail is character-specific and does not appear for your other characters; you cannot turn the books in on one character and take the reward from the mail with another.

I +1 the event items being account bound and not soulbound

agree on them being account bound

I wouldn’t mind. I’d like to use them on characters that could benefit from. My Eles back slot is the best I can have that I want. But the stats is pretty great for some of my other characters. I just really dislike doing event things multiple times.

Either way now they are taking up space in my bank.

An easy solution would be to allow you to forward/send mail to your own characters

Agreed, account-bound would be fantastic. I don’t want my Memories books to go to waste sitting in the bank if I find another back item I think fits more on my main character (which is very likely since my main is a Ranger and rangers and books… not much synergy there), I’d much rather transfer it over to my Mesmer for instance and actually use it.

Running the quest 5 times to get 5 copies of the book for each character in case I want to use it on that exact character is tedious (and given the timed nature of the event, not a great use of time either). Better if you could just pass it around amongst your characters as needed.

It would also be a particularly nice option for those people who have higher level mains and lower level alts, so that they can run the quest on the high level character (since the quest now runs through a somewhat mid-highish area) but give the item to a lower level character they’d rather use it on.

Seems this post got noticed by a forum mod, but not by who we actually need to notice it.

I agree, account bound would be so much better!
