My friend has been on my account for the past few months with his Warrior "Dragon Slick". He started in Ascalon, made it to Lions Arch, took a ferry to Factions and purchased the Kurzick armor from House Zu Heltzer. He also collected 2 halloween masks.

A few weeks ago, he purchased his own account (original, Factions and Nightfall). I transferred his armor and his masks over from my account to his, I then deleted Dragon Slick, and my friend made a new Dragon Slick on his account. After completing Pre-Searing, he accessed Ascalon City but when he tried on his Kurzick armor on, it doesn't work. Nothing happens... it's the same case with the masks.

How come? It says "customized for Dragon Slick" and his character name is Dragon Slick. I don't understand.

It simply doesn't works like that I'm afraid.

Other Players' Customized Items

As mentioned above, a player cannot use an item customized for a character other than the one he/she is playing with.

Because it's not actually customised for the name, it's customised for the character that made them. There is a unique identifing number attached to each character, items customised for that character get the number tagged so that this situation doesn't occur.
I'm sorry for your friend but that's the way it is.

It's all in the code basically, sad but true.

Unfortunately for him, these items will never be used again xD

Ah, I understand... no problem. He will have to work for his armor again like last time.
