Guild Wars 2

It would be very nice if the book was accountbound instead of soulbound.

This seems like a fairly small concern, but this book does have a unikittenfect and is very useful for full stealth Obsidian Sanctum runs (especially when it’s being camped).
I made a new character and am somewhat disapointed over not being able to just put it in the bank and transfer it out; The event with hat is accountbound, so why is the book not?

Again, while it seems like a petty issue, it shouldn’t require much of any effort to change either, so I would appreciate A-Net considering this at the very least.

Well the hat you could get for sitting in a town and doing a few emotes, the hat is also cosmetic and offers no bonuses. The 2 memoires on the other hand take a little bit of effort and time, you have to go places, fight creatures and use a device to find the pages. I did it on seven characters to have seven memoires so that each of them had extra stats and didn’t have to shell out 5g for a backpack.

There is no reason to make it account bound. You had more than enough time to get it on other characters (not counting if you were affected by the hurricane of course) and even if you missed it you can buy the backpacks with better stats and just transmute the item to bring the skin over.

For the arguement that I had enough time to get it, I got 3 copies for individual characters(one of which was lvl2 at the time), but it doesn’t matter because I decided to make a new character after halloween and I can’t get swap a book over to that one.

Unfortunately, soulbound items cannot be transmuted across characters, so that options out and I don’t see A-Net changing that.

I just don’t see a reason why it has to be soulbound either, it’s not like you could bring multiple and stack them on a character for added benefits.

I think i already posted about this , but i guess Anet logic is:

Equip items with stats: soulbound.
Clothes without stats: Acc bound.

Still i would also like to see the books acc bound , i got 3 , but maybe someday i will want a new char , and that one will lack it.

It seems that they soulbound any ‘useful’ items to prevent transfer of equip over. I think they could make an exception though for an event item with very minor stat bonuses.
