Reuse the Avatar armor? - Guild Wars Forums

impression · Dec 15, 2006, 01:12 PM // 13:12

Would this be possible?:

Put the armor from avatar "XPTO" on storage;
Delete avatar "XPTO";
Create a new avatar with name "XPTO" and the same profission of the old one;
Equip the armor in storage in the new avatar;

Thanks,
impression

No.

It runs further than the name. Each char has a unique ID.

What is XPTO?

Oh wait, you mean charactar? Avatar = dervish form

No, you cannot use armour on other characters, even if it has the same name ( gw uses a unique ID code )

Free Runner speaks the truth. I tried it once and it doesn't work.

i think it used to work a very long time ago, but then an exploit was used ie droks armour in low level arenas. so now it dosen't.. although people just get runs now >_>

damn ... a couple of 15k armors and weapons to the garbage

this also does not work if you decide to delete a character (but save the armor), and create a new charater with the same name. Each character made seems to generate a unique ID, and even if the name is the same, you can equip the armor..

Why delete and recreate the same character? Other than looks everything else is changable: attributes, 2nd profession, skills, etc.

I have a second acount from the time when you couldn't buy extra character slots. This second account its Prophecies only.
I will create new characters in my main account with the profissions I have in the second acount, and was trying to save some gold from having to buy new armors

Sometimes people delete and recreat characters because they want to go for survivor titles....

I deleted my very oldest character because NF eles have hair that I actually like.

DeanBB · Dec 15, 2006, 05:44 PM // 17:44

I'd still leave the old toon on the old account for birthday presents and make a new one on the main account with a new name.

The others are right, even if you name your new character the same as the one you deleted, the new character has a new id string. Anything made for the original character will not workon the new one, even weapons that were customized for it. Also from the start you could never do that, I tried when the game first came out and it wouldn't let me equip the armor from the old character to the new one even though the names were the same.
