Guild Wars 2

The items that made account bound from the Black Lion Shop are truly helpful, especially the unlimited tools and the personal bases like the Airship Pass. Something that would be helpful to those who bought those items is to allow every character they have access to those items. I have both the Airship pass and the unlimited tools on the lvl 80 Engie but that means I have to continue purchasing these basic harvesting tools for all of my other characters. It would be great if the items could be generated like the Zenith weapon skins where all characters have access to it and are able to make one even at a low level. Only have one set of the tools and one Airship pass to not very convenient for having multiple characters who roam the world. Would it be possible to do something like this?

I think that’s the point. If they make it available for all character, no one will purchase another harvest tool, or area pass again.

Skins are a different story. If you purchase a skin, you may still want another skin. For things like harvest tool, very few people are reluctant to buy more than 1 if they make it available for all charcters.

It’s very much like how armor skins used to be: they want you to spend pay price for each tool/skin for each character, because then it’s more likely you won’t have enough gold for gem conversion and roll your credit card instead.

Wardrobe made armor skins a bit better in that you still get dinged additional charges for using it more than once/on multiple characters, but the cost is only a fraction (and potentially free) of how much it used to cost. It would be nice if infinite tools got a similar treatment: pay full price for your first set, but get a discount for each subsequent set.

You do realize you can put them in the bank and pull them out on your alt right? They are account bound not soulbound

I do realize that I can just put the tools in the bank and swap them around but that takes time. Also the armor skins are also now put into the wardrobe when you get them so every character has access to them so why not with the tools and passes. I just don’t want to pay another 1000 gems just so I can have the same tools on another character.

Putting the tools in the bank and grabbing them takes like 30 seconds. Assuming you park your characters in town near the bank…

Maybe one day they will put tools, etc. in the Wardrobe, and charge you to pull them out with each character. /shrug

I think they are fine the way they are.

completely defeating the point of getting the tools,
since you want unlimited tools so you don’t have to keep going to cities to buy more tools.

they should be made like the achievement unlocks where you can instantly claim them from the hero page.

theres nothing worse than having to log through 10 chars because you forgot which one has the “item that is supposed to make life easier”! and when you find “the item that is supposed to make life easier” you have to get to a city, stick it in the bank, relog, get to the city and take it out…

meanwhile if you didn’t spend your hard earned money on that item you could have just went to the nearest merchant and bought the item you need for a couple of copper/silver.
