<div id="ygrps-yiv-378538516">What item allows anyone to bind?  Only item I&#39;ve seen that allows bind is<br/>
the Ring of the Dead which is DELF, SHD, NEC only and Necros can already<br/>
bind at 12th level.<br/>

I consistently read all over the net how members of certain melee classes<br/>
are sick and tired of having to go on 4 or 5 zone spanning runs to get back<br/>
to their body. Who are these folks kidding? The only zone that is 4 zones<br/>
away from a bind point is Nagafen&#39;s Lair. (Nag&#39;s Lair-&gt;Solusk<br/>
A-&gt;Lavastorm-&gt;Nektulos-&gt;Neriak Foreign Quarter.)<br/>
<br/>
All of the other zones in the world are usually only 2, sometimes 3, zones<br/>
away from a bind point. Is it just that folks aren&#39;t aware what the<br/>
bind-able zones are? Or maybe good aligned characters don&#39;t realize they can<br/>
be bound in evil cities just like good cities? Is a two zone run THAT bad? <br/>
<br/>
Of course, I&#39;m ignoring the fact that an item exists that allows ANY<br/>
character to bind themselves ANYWHERE. Yes, it&#39;s hard to get, as it should<br/>
be. But the option to get the item is available. And as long as this option<br/>
is available for EVERY character, I don&#39;t think Verant will ever give<br/>
binding ability to non-spellcasters through any new class-wide ability.<br/>
