Not sure if this is covered somewhere else, but I haven’t seen any topics about it. Yesterday, I got on my main character, did the story instance to get into the “new” Kessex Hills, and got all four of the obelisks in Kessex. Then I got on another character, did the instance on him too, and tried to talk to the Priory member who gives out the transcription device, but she wouldn’t give me one. I then went to Gendarran Fields and tried to transcribe the obelisks there, but it wouldn’t work. So in other words, I did everything I was supposed to do on an alt but didn’t get the item and can’t transcribe the obelisks. Is transcription limited to just the first character on an account to get the transcription device, or am I overlooking something?

I’m not in game but maybe its Account bound? i haven’t tried on an alt. Seems silly if they want you to share one transcription device.

I just checked it, and it’s definitely soulbound.

The transcriber can be received multiple times, provided you don’t already have one on you. That’s the only check that Dolja does before offering you the transcriber, which is just to prevent players from accidentally flooding their inventories. Well, and like any NPC she checks to see if you can actually receive the item (usually meaning that you don’t have a full inventory, but can also happen if you have some kind of transform on you).

That could have been it then. Thanks for the response.

So, what hoops do I need to jump through to get one of these transcribers?

Go to Kessex.
Do the solo instance.
Talk to Dolja.

Don’t you hate when you have to do that? lol

Sometimes I click through, click through, click through, then the conversation is over and I’m like “wait that can’t be right…” and have to read each option the second time around haha.

I’m so sorry writers, it’s a habit from a decade of MMO playing.

Don’t tell anyone but I also skip pretty much every Personal Story cutscene, I honestly have no idea what is going on other than I need to kill Zhaitan. Phew, that feels good getting off my chest.

I won’t stop because I can’t stop.

It’s a medical condition, they say its terminal….
