So, to help be as specific as possible:
 
Character Bound on Equip

• Weapons and Armors level 100 and higher
  • Golden, Grand, Saint, Dark, Elven, Demon & Legendary (Legend)

As a reminder everyone, "BOUND" item can be UNBOUND with the Item Unbinder in the Valor shop for 100 Valor points a use!

None of these items are permanently locked to your character after equipping them!

 

During this stage, we will be placing the Character Bound on Equip restriction to all equipment that is a monster drop, or player craft, that is a level 100 requirement and is treated as an enhanced item, from a basic version.  So, rare and blues from monster drops and other such crafted items.

Stage 3 – Monster Rare & Crafts, under level 100 requirement

 

Planned for July 31, 2014*

 

During this stage, we will be placing the Account Bound on Equipment restriction to all other equipment that is a monster drop, or player craft, that is under level 100 as a requirement. The account bound status is to allow for players to continue sharing initial leveling equipment with other characters on the account.

 

Stage 4 – Honor(PvP), Valor(PvM) Equipment, Unique Quest Rewards

 

Planned for August 7, 2014*

 

During this stage, we will be placing Character Locked restriction to Honor, Valor and certain Unique Quest Reward equipment obtained.

 

Please note; this is not Character Locked on Equip and these items will become locked to whatever character has them in their inventory.

There are some exceptions which are, most consumables will not be restricted, so that they may still be shared amongst allies and team members.

 

Stage 5 – Event & Item Mall Costumes

 

Planned for August 14, 2014*

 

During this final stage, event and Item Mall costumes will be set to Account Bound on Equip. We understand the upset in regards to aspect that Item Mall items are following this restriction along with other costumes. It's widely felt and seen as a move to force sales. It is to keep with the intention and our expectations that such equipment be bound to a proper ownership once equipped.

 

There is one exception, which is all Item Mall Mounts will become Account Locked on Use. So mounts may be able to be purchased for trade on the Economy Market, but will become locked to the account once used. A reminder that "Locked" items are not affected by the 'Item Unbinder Coupon.'

 

*Dates are subject to change.

[IAfjiBa]

Can't wait! 

 

[angeltje]

After bound can we still disable? So all will be char bound and not account bound?

[rageTGLS]

When I heard about the change of the game going to the BoE method I was under the impression it would only be dungeon items/epics.

 

I'm happy to hear it's going to be essentially all items in the game, this will help the economy more than I thought.

[septking974]

ooooh suxor... no more making 1 awesome set of equipment and using it as hand me downs. Almost ll of my gear has been traded throughout my family and friends... weapons, armor, jewelry.... we share... not anymore.

 

Essentially this update means that if you use anything but yellow gear it belongs to the character that equips it first.

 

Personally I feel that this is taking it a step too far. Uniques and Epics were one thing. That made sense. This is just going overboard.

Where is the promised flow bp!

Yes it Sux in a way as it means no more hand me downs but then again it finally means crafted Eq may be worth something again other then just being made for personal use while levelling 

 

On the other hand I preferred it when stuff broke when you failed to refine it but unfortunately Leo has already stated they will be taking this path instead the upside is the economy is crashing so save up your Zulies until the market stabilises again and you can buy those extra sets nice and cheap
 

[Leeny]

Are people forgetting about unbind coupons? Bound items can all be unbound.

[Dirtyarry]

i know you plan to rollout the next stage of the bound items is for tomorrows patch .

but why not take the down time to fix the stability of the servers.

a playable game is more interesting than a game that breaks at least once a day?

 

I know it is equally frustrating to you guys(dev/Gm) but i am one of many ppl who have rtn to check out these major overhauls.

but tbh the lure is weakening daily as the actual game is performing poorly...lag disconnects glitches...

 

on a positive note the things that have changed are a huge leap in the right direction

@shazamo Will there be another skill update on this week or next month? if not i will use my last testimony of retraining..

[Leonis]

Hello everyone, I wanted to apologize for not having a posted list of all the intended items that will be changed and what to. The item list is almost 2000 items and would take up a considerable amount of space on the forums to try and list them all individually.
 
So, I'm updating the original post, and giving as much of a detailed outline on what to expect, and will include it here as well.

Leo, this is a bit confusing. Are the level 100+ blues going to be character locked or character bound?

[lovileva]

[llullTAKSIAPO]

Maintenance is undergoing?

[pdfisher]

No, Leonis server crashed, but it is back up. You can check it's status at http://www.mmoserverstatus.com/

Leonis seemed to go down for a moment or so BUT it just went back up online.

 

Sorry about that!

[Leonis]

Ack!! BOUND! I apologize for that mistake! I fixed the wording, as the listing were indicated, they are intended to be BOUND.

Leonis seemed to go down for a moment or so BUT we it just went back up online.

 

Sorry about that!

 

Shaz Did you spill your coffee over it again?

This is why I gave that link, it is more accurate as the launcher tends to lag a bit.

[angeltje]

leonis if equipment is bound can it be disampled ?

[ShazamO]

Sorry for the grammar mistakes~

 

Leonis did go down temporary but it is back up!

 

Don't forget to log off before 2:00 PM PST today for the Server Maintenance.

[Dirtyarry]

Are the stability issues gonna be resolved during this down time?

[Leonis]

Are the stability issues gonna be resolved during this down time?

 

These stability issues aren't actually due to the server's service. We've been receiving some "love" in the form of DDoS lately. It went unrecognized for quite a while, as we thought it was our servers misbehaving because of the DB update. Both fortunately and unfortunately, we've been finding out the truth and we've been doing our best to address the event as best we're able to as it happens.
