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.
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:
- 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 from certain events (example: Razor Ribbon)
- Tokens
- Minerals
- Artifacts
Bound equipment cannot be mailed, traded, or sold in the Auction House. Bound equipment can be used by your knight or sold to vendors.
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.
