BoE = '''Bind on Equip. Items ''' [[item]]s are designed so designated that they can only be used by the character that first equips them. They can not be traded once they have been equipped, often called "[[soulbound]]", or "bound" to that player. The item can normally be sold to a [[vendor]], however.
Some very high level Diablo 3 items will likely be designated as this type, to keep the [[end game]] economy from stagnating.
The ==BoE in Diablo III==Some very high level ''[[Diablo 3 team has said that ]]'' [[item]]s will likely be designated as BoE might apply to accountskeep the [[end game]] economy from stagnating, rather than to characters, thus allowing players to exchange such and at that only items between their own characters on the same accountabove level 85.
::Most of our focus on Diablo 3 is as a [[trading]] game. So, if you take trading out of the item space, you ruin the core of the game. Finding a really great item that is not for you is still a great event because it means you have a bartering tool to get the item that you do want. We definitely want to make sure that that still exists.

The [[D3 Team|Diablo 3 team]] has said that BoE might apply to ''accounts'', rather than to [[character]]s, thus allowing players to exchange such items between their own characters on the same account. There will not be any Soulbound or [[Bind on Pick-up ]] items in ''Diablo 3'', other than [[quest items item]]s that are only carriedin the [[inventory]], not actually equipped.

One of the greatest ways that you can do that is with bind-Directoron-Interview/equip. What we don't want is to have a situation where you find something on the ground like, “Oh, man.
