• Energy Crystal: Energy Crystals found in Metrica Province can now be traded.

Cool, but I had one in my inventory from before the update, and mine is still account bound. Is anyone else having this problem?

I looked at the ones on the Trading Post and they have the same item ID, so my problem is probably caused by me obtaining it before the update. And no, my crystal’s not in one of those special inventory bags that hides it from vendors/the TP.

The same situation has come up with some other items in the past where existing versions retain their previous status while only new versions have the altered status.

As you mentioned that the new tradeable one is the same item ID, one way to fix the old item is, if it is a stackable item, acquire one of the new items and stack the old account bound one with it. Doing this will convert the old one to the status of the new one. I think these energy crystals are stackable, so you may look to give that a try if they’re not too costly.

They are stackable and it does work. I just converted the two I have into the new version.
