Guild Wars 2

I purchased a Defensive Celestial Sigil (5 Gold + 12 Guild Commendations) from the Tyrian Explorer Olread [Guild Commendation Trader] and equipped it, and upgraded it with a Versatile Infusion.

Then I purchased another Defensive Celestial Sigil (40 Laurels + 50 Ecto) from the Laurel Merchant.

I double-clicked the second Celestial Sigil to equip it, clicked Yes on Soulbind warning, it swapped places with my first Celestial Sigil.

When I try to equip a second Celestial Sigil (regardless of which one) it will not allow me to do so, giving me a red outline on which ever accessory slot I try to drop the second one into.

Now I’m stuck with a soulbound Celestial Sigil I cant use because there’s no way to un-soulbind anything even at a cost and I’m out of pocket.

Why can’t I equip two Celestial Sigils at once?

All ascended items are Unique. You can only equip one of a Unique item. For Ascended there is one workaround. If you have one infuse version and one uninfused version they count as separate items so you can wear both at the same time. After you infuse an item it also becomes Account Bound+Soulbound on Use again which lets you transfer it to another character. However you can not currently infuse Accessories. That should be fixed with the upcoming patch.

Well bugger I wish I knew that earlier. Thanks.

Yes like Khisant said, you can’t have duplicate unique items at the same time, for ascended items of the same stat categories you will need to get one offensive and one defensive version.

I wonder if there’re ppl buying greatswords and then complain in the forum, that they can’t wear it in a single hand.
I mean … the keyword “Unique”, “Soulbound” or “Greatsword” are displayed at the same position …

If it’s unique, then why can players buy 2 or more of the same item on the same character? You’d think if an item was truly unique, a character could own only 1 of the same item.

because it’s acc bound when bought.
I suppose when trying to equip it into the second slot, it might tell you of the unique property, but the thread starter said he took of his previous and equipped the second one.

But sure, making the text “Unique” appear red when you’re already reading one would be nice, but I doubt it’d prevent those things from happening, especially since there’s such a thread every 4 days.
