In the player's Arsenal list:

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.
Bound equipment cannot be mailed, traded, or sold in the Auction House.

When crafting using bound equipment as a precursor, the upgraded equipment 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:

Once bound, the item can only be unbound by Vise, the unbinding smith in the Bazaar. Vise can only unbind Helmets, Armor, Shields, Trinkets, Bombs, Handguns, and Swords - not materials, costumes, and so on. Vise will also not be able to unbind certain special combat equipment, like "proto" items.

Heat level is reset to 0 when an item is unbound.
