Today (27/12/2023) during the HG, I was the lucky winner of a wand skin. At first, I was happy because even though it's an item for another class (I'm a Knight), I thought I could sell it.
Unfortunately, to my surprise, the item is bound to the character. Not just the account, but specifically to the character. So, I considered checking the coin shop to see if there was a chance to exchange the item.
There's only the option to switch an item from one hand to two hands or vice versa, but it's not cheap at all. And even that wouldn't be useful to me since I don't use a wand or a staff at all. I understand the devs' intention in creating such an item, but what am I going to use it for?
The only way to use this item would be by changing my class, but at what cost? 5000 coins just to use a skin? My account is Level 150, barely worth the 5 KC, let alone a lower-level character.
I have a few suggestions for a solution.
Unbind the item from the account, enabling me to sell it or exchange it for another item I'm interested in.
Add an option in the coin shop, in addition to switching 1H -> 2H, to also include the option to switch to another item from that SET, but at a fair price of 2000 coins to use an item that was already difficult to win; I imagine no one would want it.
Add an option to choose which item I want to win on the roulette or as a prize.
Instead of a skin, have the HG offer a gift box that, when opened, grants a skin for the character opening it
