"Astral Diamonds were conceived as a different type of currency in game. Yes, they are available in the store for convenience purposes, but they also drop in game. We have increased the drop rate of these in Update 10 Patch 2."

I've pulled a whopping two, but know of folks who have pulled more (and then gave them to me for the Airship fund).  Don't know if they are dropping more often though.

I've pulled a few on different characters.

Rare.

Worthless since you can't trade them and airship dealer only takes a min of 5 at a time.

This is why we send them to our Guild Leader and then she deposits them in large chunks.

Well, then that's f'n stupid there is no legit reason for those to be bound.  Especially if, "Astral Diamonds were conceived as a different type of currency in game. "

You can only turn them in to the ship vendor in blocks of 5 too. So I may have 5, but they are on 5 different toons.

Maybe I was just thinking we always swap them in chest during raids and etc...It gets confusing as she is my GF and we are generally in party together.  Besides I'm on pain killers...everything for the last few days has been a bit fuzzy.

I just checked my Astral Diamond and it is now Bound to Account.  It was previously Bound to Character.

Pretty much done... just ancillary and residual pain at this point.

I've heard women claim that passing a kidney stone is more painful than child birth.  Luckily, I wouldn't know about either one.   Cheesy

I've got a really high pain tolerance and this pretty much kicked my ass.  I would say it felt like Bruce Lee continuously and vigorously punching me in the balls for about 3 hours until went to the hospital and got the good drugs.

There are 3 types of ADs...BTC, BTA and Not Bound.

The not bound ones were very short lived and I'm fairly sure they don't drop anymore.  I still have one on one of my toons running around that was mailed to me by a guildie.

The BTC/BTA ones are the typical ones with BTCs being purchased via the Turbine Store, and the BTA ones being the ones you pull from chests.

^^ This. Kidney Stones were officially the worst pain I have been in...ever.


OT, I know I have picked up one in Shroud, but it was prior to 10.2 so don't know whether it is BtA or BtC.
