Item Binding

[whoopeeragon]

As far as I'm reading it, you can't transfer items between characters bound UNDER THE SAME ACCOUNT. So you can't give your alts gear that has at least 1 point of spiritbind.

However, you can still trade gear to OTHER account holders, given that it is probably 100% and the other requirements present in 1.0. Rukkirii doesn't mention trading to other account holders - I'm presuming that the:

Also, since we are planning to make it so once you accumulate more than 1 point of spirit bond the item will be bound to you, as long as you do not fulfill this criteria it will be possible to transfer it to other characters.

...is still in reference to trading amongst your own characters.

Then again, I don't know how bound items work in MMOs in general (haven't played a great deal of them) so I may be wrong regarding the system itself, but from what I see from the OP, it is directed to characters amongst your own account.

Basically if you accumulate even 1 xp while wearing the gear, it will be Soulbound to you. You can no longer sell the gear on the AH/Wards nor can you trade it to any player. You can only turn it into Materia or sell it to a NPC, other options are probably giving to Grand Companies but yeah. What we're all worried about is not being able to Sell or Gift melded gear because you used it and upgraded your equipment so it's no longer 'useful' to you.

i can deal with changes and having to adjust to them but what bugs me most about this item binding is that once i get to a certain spirit-bond level with gear i can't trade it, or sell it so basically im screwed. only thing left to is to either discard it or spirit-bond the gear itself getting a new materia whether that materia will be useful/good is another topic.

If i had lets say sentinels gauntlets with double meld str+40 which then i reached the level of spirit-bond if i was able to spirit-bond it getting back my two str materias then get another random materia for the gear itself that would be okay with me. this way its not like ppl hold on to materia forever eventually materia gets taken out of the game when ppl try to double,triple, quad meld gear.

If we can't rest spirit-bond like you guys say by going to a npc and resetting it that way, then what can we do at that point once the item binds we basically are fucked. only thing we can do is spirit-bond said gear and get some type of materia then we have a whole problem gear being situational to avoid building spirit-bond.
