PSA about the gifts from the free bundle

First, thank you for the gift, much appreciated

Something peculiar I noticed, when I opened the box and got the items they would not stack upon depositing them in the bank (yep, I did press 'Y' just in case).

Ported to one of my houses, deposited the riding lessons in one of the boxes (which already had riding lessons in it)... they stacked.

Ported back to town, now the XP and research scrolls would stack too.

Why? No idea, but I have tried on multiple accounts and it works.

Are they not bound? That may be a reason.

Welp, I already deleted them when I saw they didnt initially stack.

Not a big loss though, sitting on a hundred of each of those research & riding scrolls.

They are account bound, same as the regular ones.

One of those oddities I guess.

Regular ones that come from writ vouchers didn't used to be bound, unsure if the new ones bugged them out and made the whole stack bound or what.

Writ Voucher research scrolls aren't bound, but they also have a 20hr cooldown. Crown research scrolls are account bound, but have no cooldown.

It looks like the act of rezoning or relogging fixes the stacking issue.

Also, be careful, claiming the reward also grants 50 transmutes. But they're not in the coffer and not in the container. It just goes straight into your account, which means if you're full on transmutes, you're outta luck.

Thanks for the warning! I’m one of the people that might have done this. Thank goodness for the new limits we have, I’ll be safe for a while before I reach that!

I got lucky on that one. Before the update, I checked and had 10,000 plus transmute crystles in storage. Been taking advantage of the new limit and cracking all the 25 ones, had to do mass trait change and decon to use up 5,000 over the past couple days. I left the limit at 2500 just incase I need to collect some more from various sources and pre-crack the new 25 ones.
