Guild Wars 2

I can’t put the Lucky Great Rooster Lantern in my shared inventory slot.

Why not? It says Soulbound on USE (so it’s not soulbound), but I can’t share it prior to that commitment. This seems like an oversight or bug.

I think this is especially important in light of the recent drive to sell more shared slots.

You didn’t choose the stats for it, did you?

I don’t know; it seems certain can-be-soulbound items won’t go in the Shared Inventory Slots.

We cannot move any gear (armor, weapons, trinkets, back items) into the shared inventory slots. I’m 90% sure that we never were able to before, either. The exemption probably includes anything that is or could become soulbound.

This is exactly it. Shared inventory slots say “These slots cannot contain items that soulbind.” Not that are soulbound, that can soulbind. A “Soulbound on use” backpack counts for that.

Thanks for replying.
I used my bank to do the transfer in the end.
It still seems odd that you can’t use a shared slot to hand gear between characters.

It’s a matter of perspective (and probably of trickiness in programming). The goal was a place for gizmos & consumables that are used by all toons, not for swapping gear among them.
