When armour is customised... - Guild Wars Forums

Say for example, I had a character called "A B C" and I bought Drox armour. I then put the armour in storage, deleted "A B C" and then created a new character with the same name, would the new character be able to wear the old armour as it would still be customised to "A B C"?

The answer is no. You cannot re-use the armor, it is customized for the character it was created for. Each Character has a unique ID created by the game. All information is tied to that ID not the name of the character.

I tried this before and you definitely can't do it.

It kind of saddens me that you can't do this sort of thing. I mean sure..armor has to fit and all, because every person is different...

But if people thought they were cool getting 15K armors and FoW armor, I think it'd be pretty cool to get all Devourer armor or something.

I just see a whole armor market of trading, buying, and selling that would give us all one more thing to do. I guess that'd kind of kill the material trade tho..

I see unique tradable armors in the future...I mean this game was made by some of the Diablo guys right?

Personally, I tried to do it to see if I could get one of my pumpkin hats to another character...even that didn't work.

Nater:
Yes quite a few of ArenaNet are Ex-Blizzard staff, but ti doesn't mean there going to mimic aspects of a previous game some of them helped design and create.

- Where's the uniqueness in that?
