If one were to use Dragon Blood/Jade Stones to change an unbound lunar NV2 weapon into r8r, would it be tradeable?

    R8r isn't tradable no matter what it was crafted from.
    Been more than a year since I quit playing, but still on rankings.

    Are you speaking from experience with a lunar nv2 to r8r conversion? Where do you get your info? If you haven't been playing then how would you know?

    Would someone currently involved in the game perhaps like to answer?

    it creates the same r8r items as if you had the r8 item beforehand as it shows on pwdb. r8r gear is not tradable, stashable, does not drop on death and can not be discarded

    Yes, because people really need 900+ dex or 1000+ magic just for the lulz

    See, the reason I ask is that, first, PWDB does not state any of what you had mentioned, merely that it cannot be decomposed, and second, that in EVERY other circumstance wherein the source material was not bound, the product wasn't either. While it's very possible that either of you are correct, until someone has done it, it remains an assumption. I'm asking for someone who has actually gone through the process to verify.

    I'll be making some r8r pieces myself at some point and will find out one way or the other. But I'm looking for someone with personal experience, not guesses, even if based on reasonable assumptions.

    Salari pretty much said it all. And I speak from experience it's not tradable or stashable. I already have a R8R Poleblade and used my T2 Lunar sword to make the R8R sword. So, the rule stands you can't trade or stash itb:bye

    Besides that, I don't think you can wear the r8r item if you don't have 200k rep.

    Sorry I left out the image from my previous post. It is a different recipe but it creates the same item id and yes pwdb does lack all info sometimes. But rank gear is always bound to the character not the account. It is not like other types of gear as it requires a personal rank(rep) and level to aquire unlike other gear which is just lvl specific

    As what others said, R8rr is bound to the character no matter what you use to make it and you also need 200k reputation even if you make it from Nirvana gear. There's absolutely no reason to make Lunar Nirvana to turn it into r8rr.

    It's just a logical conclusion. How do you trade rank gear, if it has never been tradeable?

    You've read the first half of my sig, I suppose. I am pretty much active now.

    You can read the item description from the forge guy in cromagnon village. The answers are there.

    It will not have the 'bound' status nor 'bind on equip status'. Instead, it will have the 'cannot be traded, dropped, stashed, etc..' status, which means that it will be forever stuck on the character who makes it.

    This is my first time hearing about this, but it does raise the question... can BMs have multiple R8r weapons now? It doesn't seem like you're bound to whatever you originally chose from what I can tell on pwdatabase.

    This is neat.

    lol yeah, sad thing is it not listed as one of the random add's on pwdb, so either pwdb did not get all the info from the files, or there is another mechanic in the source code no one is aware of.
    b:laugh

    and Zanryu, yes you can get multiple r8 weapons this way, Adi has 2 so far

    I'm fairly sure one of the reasons PWCN did this was because of the BM problem not being able to pick multiple r8r weapons. The other was probably..easier access to r8r gear? Though I'm not sure how the materials work there, considering our NW forges are different and stuff.

    This pleases me. I was a little sad I couldn't get my R8r pole because apparently I chose fists, though I have no memory of doing so. It was one of the factors involved in my quitting before, along with absolute boredom and all, but this pleases me. b:dirty
