Don’t delete your first character without first sending your backpack,goggles to your new char

What do they mean?

Lets say I make my first character to try out and I want to delete him, than ill make my new char first and than ill send the backpack to my new char. After that, I delete the old one.
Do I benefit from doing this on every char that I delete? Send the backpack to a nondeleted one first? Or you can only have 2 backpacks?

Where can I find these goggles that they talk about?

Firstly, that thread is pretty old, and things in-game have changed since then. That person was probably referring to having account bound items to transfter to other/new characters. So, yeah, if you have account bound items you may use on a new character, it’s a good idea to place those in the bank before deleting the first character. It’s also just a good idea, in general, to triple check your character and remove all items (salvaging what you don’t plan to use, and putting account bound items in the bank).

Okay thanks, ill be sure to just check in general before deleting one.

They could also be referring to the item you choose during character creation. The engineers options are goggles or a backpack.

Before the wardrobe system was created the only way you could get those skins was to create a new character and pick that option, and the only way to save them was to hang onto an item with that skin. So if you wanted one or more of them for later on you had to make sure to save your starting item.

So a Not-Engineer can wear those engineering goggles and such?

Engineers, rangers and thieves can wear them. The other professions can’t because they’re classed as medium armour. But they can share each others starter gear, for example warriors can wear the guardian’s pauldrons.

One of the first things I did when the wardrobe came out was make a whole load of new characters to unlock all the starter skins. So now if I randomly decide my level 80 ele would look really good with the necro’s glowing eyes I can just apply it.

Nice.
You need to be lvl 6 to do this?
On both the one you character you take the item from and also on the one you send it to? Or only on the one you send it to?

The starting armor you get on a character won’t be account bound, so there’s no point in trying to transfer it to another character. But once you unlock a skin in the wardrobe (which you do by simply binding an item to your account or character), it’s there forever.
