Higher Tier and old mats
I reached Tier 3 now and of course I have Tier 2 materials left over (which are bound).
Any usage now or just destroy?

As of right now, theres no use however I'd keep them on hand JUST IN CASE they do put an "upgrade" mechanic as some point unless your really strapped for inventory space.

I got a little lucky that I dont have a ton laying around and just gonna keep them stored on the bottom of my storage incase something is done with them.

No usage yet but ppl already complain about it on the forums. They might do something about it, like making them roster bound or exchangable. I'd keep it in your inventory and sit on them for a month or two before trashing em.

Ye its kinda stupid. Many new players doing T1 quests at T2 or T2 quest at T3 because they dont know better and just gimp themself.

Tbh nothing should be character bound, the lowest should be roster bound. What other games do to avoid exploit is limit the time on how repeatedly you can delete characters to avoid exploit bonus materials on new characters. Something that should already been done as bots just delete the character after getting the bonus gold from questing.

been like this in the game for 3 years in KR. I understand they just taking up space but that's normal. You got more materials than needed for that tier. That's why you should calculate it. I am 100% confident it will not be changed. It's apart of the game.

Most bonus gold quests in LA are roster quests i.e. only doable once per roster.

in my case i got like 20000 lifeshards which are not even an "item" . would be nice to see that account roster wide available when reaching a higher tier.

Should make it all roster bound

No reason to make it character bound in a game that encourages alts

no it'll make the game easier lmao. You guys complaining about this minor thing that has been in the game for 3 year. I can't wait for when the higher T3 stuff comes out and our honing % goes to below 5% for high end almost max levels. lmaooo i'd suggest leaving the game at this time

I'm so glad you're not in control of any element of the game if you're response to 'these mats sit in my bank for no reason but could be useful to alts so i only do things 5 times not 6' to equal a response of 'lol quit game bye'

That's great that you like having pointless materials character bound for no reason

You want to make the game harder, delete all the materials you make, play hard mode at your own made up pace!

Did you opened all the mat chests?
Chests are roster bound, but the mats gets bound once opened.

I still have tons of chests saved in my roster bank.
Be carefull with those.

This is my recommendation as you move to the next tier. If you have alts, send it to them and once you unlock the greater honing chance/lower material cost, start using them. If you do not have an alt, before using your next tier gear, if you have any extra roster bounded, attempt the next upgrade (not sure if T2 > T3 gives an extra + for each upgrade over 14). I did this with my T1 alts and had an alt with +18 (due to a generous amount of extra mats) and got a +4 T2 in the process.

Oh it does give another +'s above 15. Thats something I did NOT know and though that as long as it was +1 for being an old piece of gear. Granted +16 and beyond get expensive quick but good way to burn extra mats since its translating into T2+'s.

confusing as to why you think I only think this. Been like this for 3 years and no complaints. So im genuinely confused. You know the skins are character bound right? you gonna cry about that ? Im glad you dont run this game make it easy for the players. It's an MMO, think about your decisions. It aint no single player restart from save data you chump
