"Dark Harvest" Collection - do I have to soulbind the Mystic Claymore to have it in the collection?

[Rokeb.3815]

Trying to finally finish this and get my ascended great sword. It seems that with the price of Mystic coins these days, the Mystic claymore is quite expensive to make.If I can make it and sell it while still getting credit for the collection, great. If I have to spending nearly 60 gold to make an ascended weapon I can craft for significantly less, then what's the point? (Other than the look).

Yes you need to at least account bind the mystic claymore to account before it counts for collection

[draxynnic.3719]

Basically, you need to have the Mystic Claymore skin unlocked in your wardrobe, which requires account-binding one.

[Anchoku.8142]

Yes, you can unlock the skin, which account-binds it, without consuming the skin on a weapon and store the skin for later use.

Once a particular skin is added to your wardrobe, is is account bound. If you receive a duplicate but do not attach the duplicate to a weapon, it can be sold at the auction house. Skins have hidden flags tracking which one is the one that was used to unlock the wardrobe version. This is sort of like dyes.
