Armors from the orders
It does matter since only members of the order can access order armorsmith (and weaponsmith).
So you thief which joined vigil can’t buy whispers armor.
Now there is solution, but you do it on your own risk( i mean there is a chance it wouldn’t work and you would lose some time and gold)
Even if your thief can’t you other character who joined whispers can. In worst case you have to create alt, play him until joining a order, then you can buy armor. Unfortunately order armors are soulbound on acquire so it’s soulbound to your alt.
BUT
You can transmute looks of it into white armor(choosing white armor stats so it become white item). Now it should make it account bound instead soulbound. Now your thief can equip it and trasmute it skin with stats you want. You need 2 fine transmutation stones per piece.
Ps. Personally i would wait until 28 Jan, because there is slight hope for un-soulbinding items. Like really tiny, but who knows.
Thx imma wait and see ^^
And if it doesn’t get unsoul bounded I’d better check a guide for transmuting stones on youtube before doing anything stupid.
