Is there a way to disable item bonding so they can be freely tradable?

Question

I'm trying to create a local server for a group of friends and applying some custom rules to accommodate the fact we're so few. One of the things I wish to do is enable free item trading, hence removing item bonding altogether.

I see that each item has a bonding row in the item_template table that determents its bonding status. Is there an easier way to make those items tradable without having to edit the rows directly into the database or use GM commands? I did not see an option in worldsever.conf so my guess is - no?

Moreover, what do the values in the bonding table mean? I found that 0 is no-bonding, 1 is bind on equip and 2 is bind on pick-up. But what are values 3, 4 and 5? Are those some special cases for quest items?

Thanks!

Answer 1

There's the item_template table to change this.

See the wiki on https://azerothcore.org in the world-db section for details.

Answer 2

It would require a core edit to item fetching to allow a setting like that, so your only course of action would be to write an SQL query to change the bonding of all of your items in the item_template table.
