Guild Wars 2

Will the staff “Delusion” ever get an update to be trade-able again? I had this skin before the magic find stat combo was removed, and sadly got rid of it in some way before the wardrobe came. I got Delusion out of the mystic forge tonight, which made me think of it because a few people wanted to buy it from me. It was a nice Christmas present anyway!

Did this staff fall through the cracks in the update removing magic find stats? Or is this intended?

It’s intended. Any weapon exotic which originally came with MF stats are now stat selectable – the drawback is it becomes account bound on aquire.

When you choose the stats it becomes soul bound. (Careful which char you do it in is the one you want to use it on).

I’m aware of the way it works, and why. I am hoping for a response from Anet, because I think these items should be reintroduced, maybe with another name but same skin. If Anet wants these things to be special like fractal weapons, getting confirmation on that would appease me as well.

Are there other weapon skins that used to have magic find stats? Delusion is the only one I’m aware of.

I have a couple Crystalline Blades (or swords; too lazy to look up the proper name) sitting in my bank since the MF change that are account bound and still waiting for me to choose a stat set for them. I’m saving them for when I eventually get my mesmer alt to level 80.

I also recall the exotic Mad King’s foot armor that dropped in the first Halloween event’s JP had some MF that prompted me to change stats on them as well.

It probably just fell through the cracks when the system changed around it, like PvP armors (like Tribal) which aren’t obtainable anymore. (At the moment.)

It might be a good idea to dig up a list of weapons that are in this situation, so they can see that it’s a problem and consider ways to fix it.

Best fix might be just to create new weapons with the same skins, since that’ll leave the originals unaffected, and it’s not like there’s an economy to disrupt centered around these untradeable weapons.

Still wondering if these old magic find equipments will ever return in tradeable form!

Bumping one last time to try to get a response about this. I’m very interested in knowing if Anet has any plans to make these skins tradeable.

iirc, Delusion fell through the cracks.

Every other item with magic find, existing ones became account-bound and allowed you to choose the stats, while new ones weren’t bound and had whatever stats Anet replaced the original ones with. Presumably whoever coded the second part overlooked Delusion somehow.

That’s why I’m hoping someone from Anet will respond to this. I see lots of threads, silly or serious, get a “red” response. I feel like this is a very simple inquiry and would be happy with a simple response
