Guild Wars 2

I feel like a lot of players could benefit from making karma account wide and not character-specific. For example, I have 150k karma saved up on my necromancer, but I found that I have no use for that karma on that character. However, on my guardian, I only have about 30k karma and I really need some to buy the exotic karma armor at temples. I feel like since I already did all the work for all that karma, I should be able to use it between characters. Perhaps make a deposit/withdraw karma spot in the bank or just automatically consolidate all the karma across all characters?

Buy armor, put it in the bank, log on with other toon, pick up armor. Equip.

Because that’s viable for Soulbound-on-Acquire gear.

Honestly , all ic is Anet nerfing everything in hopes to make achiving anything a living hell.

I think they could AT LEAST do this , so we can have the dream of getting something at some point in the future.

You know what else is? Fine Transumtation Stones. They aren’t expensive…

How does that help? I can’t buy the armor on my necromancer transmute it and then give it to my guardian. It’ll still be soulbound to my necromancer

Let me tell you a story, I sold my starter thief hood a long time ago but it was the only good looking hood in the game, it was a soul bound item and it can’t be bought anywhere so after drying my tears I make a toon, I insert my soulbound hood into the bank along with the silly karma hat I had equipped to my main thief, I use a fine transmutation stone to give the hat the appearance of the hood and kept the stats/upgrade.

This process should work by taking the stats and look from that solbound karma item you want and applying them to another piece of armor.

I swear I tried that already before…Imma give it a try again

EDIT: Yep, what you said does not work. http://prntscr.com/jtnqk
Tried it with some low-level karma gear so I wasn’t wasting my karma and found this message. On top of that the item soulbound to my necromancer cannot be transmuted by my guardian. Which brings me back to my original point: karma needs to be account wide.

Not to mention the transmutation method is completely unnecessary and a stupid process to have to undertake even if it worked. There is literally no need for a workaround like that.

If you do it wrong it will deny you.

1.) Make a new thief with hood.
2.) Have another character buy a cheap mask. NOTED: This mask needs to be white or blue name (This is important)
3.) Put said mask in bank.
4.) Log onto the new thief with hood.
5.) Now you can transmute the mask into hood.
6.) Put the new transmuted hood into bank
7.) Go into your current thief and then take out the transmuted hood.
8.) Now you can transmute the hood with any mask

IMPORTANT: The newly made hood will say it is soulbound, but you can still transfer it!

Just alter the steps as nessicary to achieve the same results. If you’re getting the lvl 80 karma gear you need a fine transmutation stone.

I feel like the only reason people complain about karma is because they have an alt that they don’t want to work on to buy skins. (Really the only use for karma. You can just buy the stats with gold easily enough).

Because someone who has played a character even casually can’t complain about karma when literally everything gives it to you. All forms of gameplay. Now the game is dropping a jug of karma every daily, 3-4 vials of karma for every dungeon path, and 10 (70k karma) jugs of karma for a monthly.

Just play the game and don’t waste your karma and you’ll have your junk soon enough.

But why make the player work more when they’ve already earned it? Yes I don’t want to farm 252k karma when I already have it on another character. And yes everything does give it to you but it still takes a lot of time; time that I’ve already spent farming karma on a different character.
