Guild Wars 2

What happens to a toon’s soulbound objects in the bank if you delete the toon? Do they lose their soulbound status? or do they disappear entirely?

I read somewhere that soulbound items become account bound when you place them in the bank and the delete the character, so that seems to work for at least some items (like starter gear?) but I haven’t tried it myself.

Nah it doesn’t. It is still soulbound to your deleted character. I’ve done it before. Nothing left to do but destroy it, or leave it there for posterity or whatever.

You get to destroy them …

They stay as they are, totally useless

Some soulbound items can be recycled or sold… still better than destroying.

Salvaged maybe, but you can’t put them in your inventory in order to sell them.
