A blue diamond indicates that the item is bound. En empty diamond indicates that the item is unbound.
Binding occurs when the player equips a piece of equipment present in their arsenal list. A small number of other oddities (such as the Ancient Shell) automatically bind when acquired.
Importantly:
- Bound equipment can be sold to vendors, with very few special exceptions.
- Bound equipment cannot be mailed, traded, or sold in the Auction House.
The item is otherwise unaffected by being bound.
Notes
When crafting using bound equipment as a precursor, the upgraded item will also be bound.
Before purchasing from a vendor, check the item's properties in the mouseover tooltip to see if it will be bound upon purchase or not.
As a general rule, most equipment and weaponry binds when equipped, and the following bind when acquired:
- All Mission rewards
- Everything from Sullivan and Brinks except materials
- Items from the Starter pack or Battle Pack
- Recipes purchased from the Hall of Heroes
- Weapons and gear purchased from the Supply Depot
- Certain materials associated with events
- Tokens
- Minerals
- Artifacts
Once bound, equipment can only be unbound by Vise, the unbinding smith in the Bazaar. Vise can only unbind combat equipment - Helmets, Armor, Shields, Trinkets, Bombs, Handguns, and Swords - not materials, costumes, and so on. Vise will also not be able to unbind any ☆☆☆☆☆ equipment or certain special items such as the Operation Crimson Hammer weapons. Many of these exceptions cannot be sold to vendors either.
Heat level is reset to 0 when an item is unbound.
Oddities
Crafting equipment from materials and rarities (bound or unbound) and/or unbound equipment will produce an unbound item. This is the case with several Mysterious Alchemy Machine items.
The Grand Solstice Ring, which is unusual in that it requires two preceding 4* equipment items to be crafted, follows these binding mechanics: if the Silver Solstice Ring is bound and the Golden Solstice Ring is unbound or vice versa, the resulting Grand Solstice Ring will be bound.
