Guild Wars 2

I have always thought it’s not possible since the armors “soul bound on acquire,” but I found a post on some image board proved otherwise, could someone confirm this? The one in the image has OoW top and Vigil legging.

I suspect they used transmutation stones to move the skin over from an alternate character of a different order. That’s the only method I can think of…not sure if it works though.

you can actually do this. for e.g. my main Guardian is in Whispers. My Engi is only lvl 12 and hasn’t joined an order yet. I wanted the Whisper hood for him.

1) Purchase Order item with corresponding character
2) Transmutate “Soulbound” Order item onto a blue/white item —> which renders the item account bound; note that it may still say soulbound
3) Drop in bank
4) Pick up with character you want it for
5) Re-transmute desired stats onto desired Order item

:DDD it should work still. i just did this a couple weeks ago.

So this method still works huh. I did the same for my ranger so he can have an anonymous hood, but I didn’t know it works for armors with “soulbound” written on them too. Is it possible to transmute back items too? I really want my guardian to have one of those engineer backpacks.

it should : )) i did it with my OoW Guard to get the hood for my non factioned engi. and it may still say “Soulbound” when it’s actually account bound. or i might be wrong and they fixed it and it does in fact say account bound. can’t be sure though but i can check ingame later tonight when i get home.

ahhh, engineer backpacks. if i undestand correctly, those backpacks are kits? so they’d be a skill rather than an item i think. afaik, the only visible back pieces in the game thus far are:

• Mad Memories book (from halloween event, non-flame and flame version)
• Guild back items which look like a backpack with the guild emblem
• and the new ascended back item i think – i really don’t know much about these though
