Guild Wars 2

Are the 3 new legendaries account bound on use or just account bound when you achieve all the mats?

I’m looking at the wiki and all the legendaries except for the new ones are account bound on use.

I’m trying to make Nevermore for somebody and I’m not sure if I can trade it when I get there (I’m still on Tier 1).

I’d like to send it as a gift.

all new legendaries are account bound on acquire. You can’t send them to other people.

I’m not sure but I think the new legendaries will be account bound to make them more ‘prestigious’ by the fact that you can’t just buy them from TP.

That sucks …

It certainly does not suck. This is what legendaries should have been from the very beginning and what have made many people not even want to try for them until now. There’s nothing special about credit-card heroes buying a legendary weapon from the TP or by getting lucky in the Mystic Forge, but the notion that somebody actually worked toward a goal and accomplished it being rewarded with something that is only obtainable through that “journey” is something special. You know that if you see someone with a Nevermore they went through a couple levels of Hell, but if you see someone with a Bifrost you can’t be certain. A new player with 0AP could get a Bifrost.

That said, there are still plenty of issues with the precursor crafting system right now and it’s a bit disheartening to see these concerns go unanswered again on patch day.

It was made quite clear that the new legendaries would be account bound. If you want to help your friend then give them mats that they will need but they will have to do much of it themselves.
