I could use some help understanding this out.

for example i have a mesmer lvl 80 i managed to get some tokens out and i want to trade them for a weapon, but it looks awesomely cool in my alt toon if i buy them with my mesmer shouldnt i be able to store them in bank and use them with my alt toon or do i have to “grind” out for every toon its that the case…

wow i hope not.

my main toon is mesmer its the one i put more effort and love but perhaps when i get my set and if they release a new set or if i fall in love of another art cant i just store my previous set and give it to my alt toon? and enjoy new outfit on my mesmer and all the work getting that tokens out dont got to garbage bin, and use the alt outfit on my alt toon?

If the item is bound to your character, you can put it in the bank but your other character won’t be able to do anything with it. If the item is account bound, it can go to any of your characters.

If you just want to give the weapon looks to your alt, you can probably buy a weapon, don’t bind it, and transmute the looks of it to your new item, then stick that in the bank and let the alt use it.

so for example if buy the X exotic sword from tokens and it automatically becomes soul bound (like it do) but later i get another X exotic sword from tokens that i perhaps think it looks cooler then im stuck with an exotic art in bank just because im using a different art.

but still every toon shares account bank, so with every toon i play ill get to see that exotic cool art just standing there in bank just because its soulbound to another toon.

thats a bummer if you ask me.

Right, but if you use the transmutation items (you get them free for completing a map 100%), you can put the art into an unbound item that your alt can use.

For example, I have a character that’s level 20, that’s using art from level 60 gear that was bought from the trading post.
