Breaking Bound and Atuned?
Sep 13th, 2017 at 11:04pm
Print Post  
So I have a couple of old-school loot-gen weapons on one char that I'd really like to move to another. I'm happy to pay the shard tax, but the items are Bound and Atuned. Is there any way to break the Bound and Atuned status so I can sell it?
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

If you haven't already, try to put them on the shard house anyway. You never know.
  

Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things.

The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Attuned = "BTCOA," so no.  If it's bind on equip, that works, with a higher fee, but the ritual doesn't treat it that way.

Bound to Character = Cursed item.

Everyone knows you need an obsessed goblinoid to bite it out of your hands. (Cost is random chance to lose 1d10 fingers.)

Would I get to sew the fingers back on after?

Also, does this apply to the character its bound to, or the one I'm moving it to? The guy who currently has it wouldn't miss a few fingers...

I did the same thing.

It's agony to hit the "Sell" button on all that shit with an orange border....

But really... Do you NEED those Ruby Encrusted Gauntlets or that Battered Marketplace Shield?

That is the hardest part of the game... Selling all the old stuff. I have memories attached to that shit gear! Memories of when the game was actually worth playing....

No, you have to have some tool sing a song about how many fingers your toon has left, and the item lost.

If you wind up on Korthos with no fingers, just open a ticket.  A GM will respond within 5-7 days, and you'll be able to pick three fingers to restore.

Each item has so many memories. So much grinding, such excitement when you finally got the item you worked for!

Only to vendor-trash it years later, when it was suddenly no longer valuable.

Pointer, middle, and thumb, obviously. You'll hardly miss the others.

I wouldn't mind so much having one of my big toes as a thumb. The nails are a lot tougher, and my big toes probably aren't doublejointed.

But man, if I had to choose between having thumbs and having middle fingers... that's a tough call.

The Gauntlets, no.

But the shield provides something unique.  It's the only source of the stacking "Enhancement" bonus to Haggle.

It used to be strictly inferior to guild ship buffs (+5 from Kundarak Battlemaster), because they were typed the same, but in the airship pass, the buffs were made "Guild" type, so the shield started stacking again.

Finally... And excuse to keep it.

I was just using it for the optional cosmetic add-on effect, because MOAR ROWND SHEELDZ!
