Is it worth it?
Yes to the banker and hero’s band. Each toon gets one.
Every time you make a new character you get a mail with the bank golem, plus you get an armor that you can wear on your lvl 1 character, so if you farm with a heavy armor character you need to choose the heavy armor skin and it will be account bound. For that armor i only use the helm and shoulders since the armor gives vitality instead of power.
But the problem is that right now the price of gems in gold are really high, when i upgraded my account to deluxe edition it was on sale for 1000 gems and the gem price was lower.
Edit: i’ve never received that hero’s band you’re talking about, only the golem.
wow that is great news , TY guys!!! time to trade in that phoenix skin lol
150g made!!!
Yes to the banker and hero’s band. Each toon gets one.
No, players who earned the Hero’s Band in GW1 get them the rest of us don’t but it’s still worth it if you do a lot of Keyruns or like collecting skins.

The Hero’s Band is the ring that comes with the digital edition. All it does is give a little boost to every stat (something like +2).

If you plan on keyfarming over the long-term – Yes, its worth it.
However if you haven’t gotten a taste for it, I suggest you play around with keyfarming before you decide.
If you are planning on key farming it certainly is.
The armor and banker gives you distinct equipment and time advantages. As mentioned above, you might want to do a few key runs to make sure it’s something you will want to stick with for a while before just plunking down $25USD (or about 250g ?).

I just recently purchased the Digital Deluxe edition, my copy did not come with a Hero’s Band, wonder why?
If you didn’t get it – contact support.

Did you check your mail? That’s where it goes when you create the character (along with the golem banker).

The Hero’s Band was only included in Pre-purchased editions of Guild Wars 2. You won’t get one if you upgrade to DDE nowadays.

Is the golem account bound?
The Banker Golem is account-bound. Once I have finished with my key characters, I just pass the Golem over to my other characters to use for the remaining 2 weeks. They always have free Banker Golems. =)
No the golem is soul bound. I did the upgrade and don’t regret anything. The golem is AWESOME for key runs, and alts in general. Also the Mistfire wolf can be a useful Elite. And having a skill that was locked just didn’t sit well with my OCD :P

Strange, I bought the deluxe edition in April 2013, and the golem banker provided for each of my alts was soulbound.
Maybe they changed that and they are account bound now.
If they really are, time to create like 10 alts, put the golem bankers in the bank, and use them on my main.
To clarify there are 3 different items that new characters can get mailed to them, all the ones you’re eligible to receive come in the same mail but not everyone will get all 3 because they come from different places.
Golem Banker
If you’ve got the Digital Deluxe (or Collectors) edition each of your characters will get one of these.
Heroes Band
This was a pre-order item. If you bought the game before launch all of your characters will get one of these, no matter when that character is created.
(If you bought your copy later then there is no way to get it.)
Heroic Chest/Legacy Armor
You get this if you activated your account or bought the Digital Deluxe upgrade after the first anniversary (last August). I’m not sure whether you get it for every character or just once however.

The used ones I have are all soulbound, but they’re also from over a year ago. The one sold in the gem store says it’s account bound on acquire so maybe there’s two different versions.
Unfortunately I don’t have a free character slot right now to test which one you get when you make a new character.

hmmm odd. Just created a new key run character last night and golem was soulbound. I wonder if the tool tip just hadn’t been update since golem was made account bound.

I thought they were soulbound as well. It would be a cheap exploit if they were always account-bound. I could just create a ton of them and get away with it? I don’t think so.

The heroes band was a free item with the deluxe edition – it certainly came with mine and unlocks on each new toon I make. Same with the banker golem. As a jewellery piece it also isn’t a skin. Sure you have the right item?
I make a couple of characters each week, and my Golem Bankers are account-bound. I pass them to my other characters when I delete my key characters. I have a Pre-purchased Digital Deluxe Edition.
According to the wiki, my Golem Bankers are behaving as intended. /shrug
I rescind all my statements. Either it has recently changed, or I have been hallucinating for some time. =/
Seems they are soul-bound now.

Thank you, you saved me from looking the fool and wasting Support’s time.
