Understanding the item propertied listed in the tooltip is essential to using items properly.
The following guide is additional context for those who are still confused on the difference between each item property.
■ Item Tradability
Trades within Vindictus are divided into two categories: Trade between accounts & Trade within accounts.
- Trade between accounts: Trading via Marketplace and Mail between two different players.
- Trade within accounts: Trading via Shared Storage or Account mail between two characters within the same account.
The next part is about the item tradability details in the tooltips, which decide which type of trade is possible.
| Tradability (On Tooltip) | List on Marketplace | Mailbox Trade | Account Mail Trade | Use Shared Storage | Shop Sale |
| This item cannot be traded. | X | X | X | X | X |
| Items that can only be used by the character with ownership | |||||

| Items that can be sold on the Marketplace once or moved to a different character within the account via Shared Storage | |||||

| Items that can be traded in all types of trades | |||||
■ Item Bind Properties
Even if an equipment is tradable, it cannot be traded once it is bound to a character.
In this case, you can unbind the item to make it tradable again.
An item will be bound to a character when at least one of the following conditions are met:
- Successful Enhancement above enhancement level +9
- Successful Enchantment above enchantment rank +9
- Quality is increased from 4★ to 5★
- Fusion
- When an item that fulfills at least one of the conditions of 5★, +9 enhancement, enchantment rank 9, or fusion qualities is moved between characters
- Material Synthesis
When the item is bound to a character, you can use the Unbind Potion to change its bind property.
However, an item can only be unbound up to three times.
Bind level refers to the amount of Unbind Potions required to unbind. This quantity will vary depending on the item's properties.
The bind level of each item can be calculated by adding up each quality the item fits to.
| Item properties that determine the bind level | Required Qty of Unbind Increase Potion |
| Base Binding | 2 |
| Can be used by Lv. 50 - 69 | 1 |
| Can be used by Lv. 70+ | 3 |
| Quality 5★ | 1 |
| Enhancement Level +9 - +13 | 1 |
| Enhancement Level 14 - 15 | 2 |
| 9+ Rank Prefix Enchant | 1 |
| 9+ Rank Suffix Enchant | 1 |
| Fusion | 1 |
By using the Additional Unbinding Coupon, you can increase the remaining unbind count above the given default three times.
However, you can only apply it on items with unbind counts under 2, and that has not been restored.
