Hello, can i ask why is this?
I found few pretty good items, that i wanted to share with my father but now i saw all of them have “bind on pickup” on them?
And im talking about green and blue colour gear
There are “bind on equip” as well.
I’ve gotten plenty of BoE items that are green, blue, and purple. May I ask where you got the gear and at what level?
I believe some items are bound upon picking them up because you are the one that completed that quest or purchased it from the faction board, etc.
Other items are BoE. You should be able to share these items with your father, as long as you’ve never equipped them.
Well for example i got dropped blue with gem socketed inside ice gaumtlet from bear boss / miniboss in a cave. And i didnt equip it, and i couldnt trade because it was bind of pickup
For other stuff i dont really know, didnt put much notice to it sadly - i farm till my bag is full then i go back and then i check what i have with me
Hello @leksaking
seems like really bad luck there.
Usually, all drops from the open world or expeditions are either
- Bind on Equip (BoE) or
- Bind on Pickup (BoP)
If the item is a quest reward, it will be BoP.
This is something that theme park MMO’s do so they can hand out items like bags of cotton candy at each ride. It was uncreative to implement the same thing in NW.
It would have been more fun if no items started out soulbound, and we dropped unbound items on death. But we could soulbind items to ourselves by spending Azoth or XP.
Bonus points if doing this made you look a little more like the Lost with every item you soulbind. Maybe have up to 5 items you could bind and by then you look skeletal?
Then you have to unbind items, destroying them in the process to get some of your soul back. Only then could you bind more items, up to the limit. If you try to bind a 6th one it says “You know that if you bind another item you will go mad”.
It would fit with the theme and make the game more interesting to play. What 5 items are critical to your build, and what is okay to scavenge up should you die?
There would be more demand for greens at the Trading Post.
No. Not all. Even rewards from quests chests can being unbound.
ps.: We have gotten a discussion ongoing at the german community about a clear mentioning on the item if it is bound or not.
