Guild Wars 2

please make the birthday blaster for 2 years account wide so my alts can use it for lvling up.
it makes no sense that its soulbound considering you moved to making ascended / legendary account wide and all minis account wide + other stuff.

I know its only +40 all stats 15% exp and 10% karma but its a perma buff that’s actually nice to have and saves u buying stupidly overpriced food that only really gives an extra +30 in 1 stat (PVE HERE PVE PVE PVE PVE)

do not mention WvW here as this is not about WvW its about the blaster being account wide for alts !

Its not a 2 year account reward its a 2 year character reward, your alts will get one when they are 2 years old.

It’s soulbound specifically to prevent you from being able to do that.

Because it’s your character’s birthday in the game, not your account’s.

Except that all of the other rewards from the _character_’s birthday are account bound:

• Mini
• Experience Scroll
• Birthday Booster
• Skill Point scroll

So why is the blast character bound, but not the others?

I’ve made my peace with it, but I still find the inconsistency surprising.

I thought it made sense, it makes it an actually character reward rather than an account award, for a character achievement. A step up from the year one imo.

The real reason is that they put a function on the Birthday NPC to re-spawn this item, if you’ve deleted it – so they’re soulbound to stop them from being duplicated. I don’t think it has anything to do with ideological nonsense on who or whats birthday it is.

Still silly, though.

My only question is why many times the buffs do not apply to myself…

I think it’s coded to not overwrite any food though I’m not 100% sure

This exactly, which is a great thing. The only thing I don’t like is how poorly it scales in lower level zones (at least for the Karma and Magic Find portions).

Pretty sure the Karma and Magic Find don’t get changed by scaling at all. They’re always at their max.

because its about as useless as the rest of the Birthday items.
