Soulbound on Use https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Trackless_Boots_(level_30) So its exactly like the freely given relics we got the ones you craft can be sold to other players.

I wanted the same relic for another character, and is only achieved by story achievement. So what?? I can't buy, can't craft... the relic system is a dumb thing since the start. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, if you don't want legendary what do you do? If you are just a casual needing to use the same relic in another character and that relic is only able via story achievement?

Check Archivist Ikur in the Wizard's Tower, he sells a lot of story relics, once you've earned them from the achievement the first time. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I'm concerned, that was a very conscious decision. "Something to grind" every update (more relic variety = new best in slot = spend again for the new flavour). Something that wouldnt be possible if they released legendary relics on SotO release. Nah, the Legendary Relic will likely also make the Legendary Rune owners grind a lot. They definitely wanted that to happen in the beginning, and even after they have been called on it, and promised "partial compensation", they will almost certainly make sure the remaining, uncompensated part will still be quite significant. It was always about trying to push the boundaries of their old "no regearing needed" promise and introducing some novel ways of gear progression through the backdoors. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a strange choice. What if my current build gets nerfed? If my current relic no longer provides benefit to my current character, I would like the option to attach that relic to a different character that could actually use it. It sounds like equipping relics is a risk, and crafting them a hassle. With continuous balance changes, using relics doesn't seem worth it. It's not just about keeping them out of the TP. It's about supply and demand and by making them account bound on use just means that the demand will be lower than when it's soulbound on use.

It's about supply and demand and by making them account bound on use just means that the demand will be lower than when it's soulbound on use. I am not sure about the higher demand theory. Instead of trying each relic out, I would simply wait and research what other people do. Then I would buy a single relic. So many people like to make youtube video guides, the wiki is also helpful. If relics were account bound I would buy more relics to test edge case uses. If my test found the effect to be too poor, I could at least transfer the relic to a more fitting character. Since relics are soul bound there is too much of a risk that an edge case application will be patched out later. Then I won't be able to transfer the relic to a character who can use the relic for its intended effects. I don't think that soulbinding encourages multiple purchases, I think it encourages an informed single purchase. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you are telling me that for 13 years the rune and sigils are working wrong? After putting them in a weapon or armor I can take them out and give them another char or even sell it.
