Editing Item Binding

{{Rom|D}}[[Category:Items]]'''Item Binding''', "Bound", or "Soul-Bound" refers to the ability of an item (Armor or Weapon) to attach itself to the Soul of its owner or wearer. Once '''Bound''' the item cannot be traded to another player or sold in the [[Auction House]]. '''Bound''' items CAN be sold to a Merchant (unless the item is labeled "Cannot be sold").

*[[Bind on Pickup|Bind on Pickup/Bound]] - ([[Template:BWItem|Item Template]] has |bound=y) This item becomes [[Bound]] when you find or receive it. You may sell it to a Merchant but may not transfer it to another player (unless [[Unbind|Unbound]]).
*[[Bind on Equip|Bind on Equip/Binds when equipped]] - ([[Template:BWItem|Item Template]] has |binds=y) This item becomes [[Bound]] when you equip it. Until then you may trade it to another player or sell it in the [[Auction House]].

Most {{Colorthis|Common|Item|common}} items below level 30 are not '''Bound''' when used and may be traded or given to other characters even after use. There are a very few items in the game of higher quality that do not bind on pickup or when first used. One of the very few are the 10 {{Colorthis|Good Accessories|Item|good}} rewarded from the quests of the {{qslink|Vahtos' Apprentice|qs=y}}.

The [[Bound]] status of an item may be changed by using a {{itemlink|Bind Lifter|||itemshop}}.
*{{itemlink|Bind Lifter (Basic)|||itemshop}} - Can [[Unbind]] an item that was originally [[Bind on Equip]]
*{{itemlink|Advanced Bind Lifter|||itemshop}} - Can [[Unbind]] anything including items that were originally [[Bind on Pickup]]
