Crafting mats bound to character

nagyervin · February 2019

Until today's patch I could transfer crafting mats between my characters. Now they are bound to character. WTF?

nagyervin · February 2019

Correction: every newly acquired crafting material is character bound (at least through admiralty). What is going on?

Same, I filed a bug though the in game UI and though ARC.

R&D Material claimed via Admiralty mission completion is Bound to Character, R&D Material claimed via Doff missions do not have this issue

Already posted about this in General...

Any boxes that you open, that put those little temporary boxes in your inv that then open into something else... are now dropping character-bound items instead of account or unbound. Lockboxes, Admiralty drops, Lore chips, all that sort of thing.

So don't open anything (or accept rewards) that you don't want bound to your character or account.

Interesting it looks like the [25,000 Experience Bonus Pool] from the omega is also account bound.

Same experience here. I now have a BO Manual that I can not pass from the bank character to the char that needs it.

R&D materials from Endeavours now are account bound when you claim the boxes.
R&D materials from Admiralty now are character bound when you claim the reward.

Yeah i can confirm this also, mats i'm getting from scanning in space are all coming out as bound to account.

But it seems to be a wider problem with things binding on pickup.

ilithyn · February 2019

Yeah just checked my R&D mats from today's endeavor and... they're account bound. @devs What the hell did you TRIBBLE up guys?

strathkin · February 2019

Yea I've heard wider reports too of many things binding on PICKUP to character; some in ZONE CHAT advising to not buy anything from exchange as well.

All the R&D I'm getting today I've been storing in the TRASH BIN for Q to look after.

tigeraries · February 2019

wow so all those items from exchange that did not sell... upon being returned to poster it is now bind to pick up?

bergins · February 2019

Hrm... also, the BOP items don't stack with the non BOP, so inventory space gets filled up more quickly.

In about fifty minutes, PC servers will briefly boot all players online. This reset should fix the recent issue with tradeable items suddenly become bound to character. Unfortunately, it won't retroactively fix items that are already bound-please contact support to get those items unbound.

Yep looks like it is all working now. Thanks for the update
