Mod 16 Item Bind Status Changes You Experienced

froger

Hello PC players,

As a console player preparing for Mod 16 I’m hoping you can help me a bit. Over the past few years I’m amassed a ton of stuff that I worry will become unusable. Would you be ever so kind as to post below what items you had either on your character, in inventory, on the auction house, traded in at a vendor, etc. that had their bind status change (unbound > bound; BTA > BTC; etc.) and what that change was?
Unfortunately, my PC toon is underdeveloped and doesn’t have anything for me to refer to.

Thanks.

Nothing changes bind status. If you trade an enchantment at the vendor for a different one, the new one will be bound.

i got a few companions that are equipped and named, that suddenly became "BTA, binds on equip, character"...but they changed the companion tab so there is no way for me to unequip them and give them to another character on my account or anything....

Hmm! Those are dropped to your inventory and you can pass that to another character.

That happens when you equipped duplicate companion before mod 16 (that was allowed). The extra one would be send to your inventory and became "BTA, binds on equip, character". In this case, it is a gain for moving a used to be BTC companion to BTA.

Ok. Sorry, that is not the same as I thought about. What I talked about was the duplicate companion. Sorry for the confusion. In my case, I have a few Cockatrice and Red cap dropped to my inventory and became BTA.

In your case, I take that as a bug because it was BTC (since you upgraded that to legendary).
