Guild Wars 2

Hi;

I have sold the Glacial Eye a long time ago, but now I just want them again for transmuting. Is there anyway I can get that starter piece back?

I tried creating another character, but the piece is soulbined and I cannot get to transmute.

Any suggestion? Have I lost all hope of recovering it?

If you made another character you can transmute the Glacial eye onto a white account bound head piece, so the Glacial eye becomes account bound. Then you can put it in the bank for your other character to pick up.
Hope this helps!

What do u mean by white account head piece? Transmute to a white piece and then put to bank and then transmute back to me? Sound logical but never tried…

If you transmute it onto a standard white vendor headpiece, it will lose “Soul bound” status and gain “Account bound” status instead. At that point, any of your characters of appropriate classes can wear it. If you want it to have better stats than the vendor headpiece, you’ll have to transmute it a second time while in the new owner’s inventory, at which point it will probably be soulbound to the new owner depending on the other item in the transmutation.

I tried transmuting to a standard white piece, but it said that it will make the item soulbind and not account bound.

So I’ve done this for all 4 sets of my gear (Earth = Magic Find, Air = PVT, Fire = Berserker, Water = Support Suit).

1. Create an alt with piece you want. I like human intro because Logan’s buff bubble makes the boss encounter trivial.

2. Run up into Divinity’s Reach and grab a silver out of the bank.

3. Run back over to the armor vendor (it’s just down the hill from the black lion house across from the bank next to the weapon guy).

4. Switch the tab to level 10 items. Purchase level 10 cloth helm.

5. Go back to the bank and transmute using a basic, non-level 80 stone. This will make the item account bound instead of soul bound. Place in bank.

6. Delete toon. Repeat for all items desired.

(Remember you can also grab cross class items, so if you really want a mesmer mask or necro mask you could grab that too. I really considered the necro ghost mask for my human since it’d make his eyes glow with power)

7. Log into main and transmute into level 80 items as desired.
