Insignias from Skill Nodes now Bound to Character on Pickup ?

qexotic

I've just spent a bit of time running around various lairs pulling stuff out of Skill Nodes in the hope of hitting an insignia or two. The good news is I have been quite successful having collected three Barbed ones courtesy of Celadaine's Tower in Sharandar and the Ebon Dale Seed Quest. Trouble is, the insignia were all Bound to Character on pickup from the node. So I cannot pass anything over to my other character which would be useful. I'm sure this was not the case before the latest maintenance patch went through. So has something changed that wasn't mentioned in the Patch Notes, i.e. Insignia from Skill Nodes are now BtoC on pickup as an anti-bot measure or something ?

Could we at least make them BtA? Good grief.

I am pretty sure they were boc from the beginning as i had hopes to level some alts while gathering insignias for my main... but boc means no fun

Anti Bots measure would be same if it was BoA. Maybe another way to force players into spending money

I have found insignias in skill nodes in both mini-lairs and in open zones (DR and WoD).

So just keep opening them.

I would really appreciate them being BtA rather than BtC.

Yep, the insignias are definatly there. Green drops from nodes in Celadane, Castle Never, eTOS, and variouse level areas.
Blue Drops from bossfights in dungeons

I farmed every node I could find yesterday. No insignia, so I am not sure they even drop. Seems like a tall tale.

They drop from nodes and chests but the drop rate is pretty low.

Do they drop in non-epic dungeons? I'd just solo spam them to avoid loot rolls. Knowing cryptic it's probably just T1/T2 tho.

I don't know about open world nodes but I have opened every skill node in every mini-lair I have visited over the past couple of days. My HR has picked up four insignia (2 x Regal, 2 x Illuminated) while my CW has found nine (3 x Illuminated, 4 x Barbed, 2 x Enlightened) but I should mention my CW seems to be on good terms with the NWO RNG Gods. He got a Litefoot Thief on only his second or third SCA Epic Dungeon and an Eye of Lathander from his second Adamantium Gauntlet drop. So these drop rates may not be seen by other players

I got 2 insignia from the skill node in Drake Pen 2 nights ago. I have not found one in skill node of open world yet.
I did not get one (skill node or not) in Cult Prison last night.
