Guild Wars 2

I have a soulbound item in the bank, as you know you can’t withdraw an other characters soulbound item (I think it’s stupid) but the problem I have is that I have deleted that character that’s soulbound to it and now I have 1 less slot in my bank. I can’t salvage it or withdraw it.

Can you destroy it? Cause that would be the only option, you can;t use it on other toons anyway.

I don’t think anything can be done, sadly. I never thought about that, and I thank you for bringing it to my attention. Maybe some day there will be a tooltip/warning when you delete a character saying something like: Make sure there are no soulbound items in any banks, as they will be unable to be removed. ….or something like that.

Should be able to – I recall doing this in the past.

Yeah, the lock is that your not allowed to place it in your other characters inventory, put it on the TP or put it in a mail. You can drag it out of the bank however (in many cases with soulbound items you need to type the name into a popup window to confirm)

I can confirm this. I just tested it on some map fragments that were soulbound to another character I had deleted a while back. You can also right click the item in the bank and just select “Destroy”.

Oh, cool…good to know. =)

I know I can destroy it, but you wants to destroy an exotic when he can get up to 3 ectos for it? My problem is that even though it still belongs to me, why can’t they just give the user the right to salvage it.

Thanks for replying!
