Guild Wars 2

Wow, just spent most of my laurels and ectos I have been saving since beginning. and got the rabid defensive items and infusions for my engineer. I equipped all four without noticing and oops can’t have two of the same items and they are now soulbound. Not that they would work with my other characters anyway. Please tell me I didn’t waste all those materials. Put a major warning or remove from vender if your character has previous purchased the item. If I would have know of this problem, I would have gotten offensive items..

You wasted all those materials. According to anet “unique” is more than a clear explanation. :|

You may try to contact support and kindly ask if you can exchange it for the offensive version.

This why I am so afraid to spend hard earned materials. Cause there isn’t enough information about the items. Legendary’s are unique, but many people have copies. Where does it define “Unique” as one pre character?

Thank you for your help

Legendaries may have a unique appearance, but they aren’t flagged as “unique” in the game. This allows one character to dual-wield Incinerator daggers, for example.

Unfortunately, the only place I can think of which defines unique specifically for Guild Wars 2 is the wiki, which isn’t ingame (though you can use the command line ingame as “/wiki unique”):
