Firebird Gomer.9563 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Dear Anet Team.I want to make bigger bags for one of my characters. But I can't afford to do it all in one go. So I make 2 20's bags then make a 24 bag on my crafting character. I then put it onto the character I want to have it on. It soulbinds. I then test if I can upgrade it on my crafting character. I can't it obviously says its soul bound to another character. I feel this is a very very silly idea. I don't want to make another character a crafter. I am happy with my one crafting character. Can you not make the soul bound item at least recognizable from the bank so I can upgrade it. I understand you don't want them to be moved around from character to character. No issue there. I understand also that when I get it to a 32 slot it's ascended and can be moved around. But why oh who can't one character be allowed to upgrade it instead of having to make another crafter?

starlinvf.1358 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Thats completely intentional..... in order to "encourage" you to do entire line, and not just settle on the most cost effect version of the bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlinvf.1358 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Follow up...... just put the item in your bank, and it uses it as a source for crafting materials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rukario.1695 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Except now we have to slog through leveling crafting on an alt when we already have that available on another character.I want to upgrade it but now I'm unable to. Some people don't have 300g laying around collecting dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's soulbound to another character, it won't be available as a material. (At least it worked that way when I last read about it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact I have multiple of the 24-slot bags to upgrade. If I had the gold to upgrade them all to 32-slot I would have, but I only had enough gold to make a few 24-slots. That doesn't mean I don't want to upgrade them now that I have the gold.Even a mystic forge recipe to upgrade them would work. If it helps at all those guides are inaccurate. Each guide I followed does not list all of the required materials in their estimated required gold lists for both overall in addition to the separate sections. They list additional equipment to craft yet do not list the materials anywhere, nor tell you what to craft for the next tier at some points as a requirement. I had a net loss of much more gold than what they listed as the expected requirement simply due to that; often upwards to 35~75g.I'm not sure if they even tried their methods out before posting them. Will never use them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now they are afraid to admit they made another mistake on this, so they prefer to ignore the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The instant its soulbound you can't use it unless you craft your way to 500 =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to upgrade to the highest tier of bag..... But I cant afford to do it all in one hit... Hence surely they could fix it so I can craft it from the bank.

Faaris.8013 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Honestly, the whole bag thing is a joke after 20-slot bags. Crafting a 32-slot bag costs 115 gold or more. An additional bag slot costs 400 gems or 130 gold (even cheaper when you buy when there is a discount), which you can fill with a fractal 20-slot bag that costs relics. It's cost efficient to max out the number of bag slots before you even think about crafting those things. That means you already have 200 slots in your inventory! I have 180 on my main character and that's more than enough for everything I need and more. Half of it is filled with crap.Inventory room became even less valuable when Anet added the unidentified gear. After an AB meta run, I have only a handful of slots filled, while before that change, I had to empty it out half way through the chest run. You basically pay 115 gold for 12 additional slots, which you probably don't need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeyspit.3965 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I have the gold and resources to craft them but I refuse to do so, largely because I don't see a need for it. Call me frugal or cheap, but many of my characters have 18 slot bags, and I seem to get by just fine.If I was able to craft a 20+ slot bag just by gathering crafting mats, like in other MMOs, it would be no issue. But that I have to acquire a rune of holding which costs (imo) way too much gold, I'm fine where I'm at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have all the bank inventory slots open in my bank.... I have the material storage maxxed.... I have 2 private guild banks one full the other one filling.... I have 15 characters..... And I still don't have enough room for everything I keep. But that's just me...... So yeah if I want to up my character bags I think I'm allowed too. I shouldn't be locked out via silly soul bound nonsense that stops me from upgrading it at my own pace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etria.3642 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I don't need them either but I agree. If you want them you shouldn't be hindered by the soulbound nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
