Bind can have three meanings in World of Warcraft:

  1. To change an item, so it cannot be traded to another character (or put up for auction at the Auction House); this is also known as Soulbound. Also see, Bind on Pickup and Bind on Equip. A warning pops up before you preform an action that binds an item to your player.
  2. To set the teleport destination of your Hearthstone, as in bind point, i.e. which Inn your hearthstone will teleport you to.
  3. To set a keyboard character as a hotkey.

Item Binding Type[]

All items are also classified by how they "bind" to a player. Item binding types fall into one of four types:

Bind on Equip (BoE)
Items of this type are soulbound to the first player to equip the item.
Bind on Pickup (BoP)
Bind on Pickup items are just that, they bind to a player as soon as they are looted. Players must take great care in instances not to accidentally roll on these items if they do not intend to use it. A warning will appear before you roll or pickup a BoP item.
Bind on Use (BoU)
Bind when object is first used. This is used for objects that are used but do not need to be equipped, like small pets. A warning will appear before it binds.
Bind to Account (Account Bound, BtA)
Added in 3.0; permanently bound to the account the item is on, can be mailed between different character on the server. This is used for heirloom items, as well as several other unique items such as collector's edition pets.
No bind
These items can freely change hands. Examples of this are recipe materials and most consumables such as health and mana potions, health stones, food and water, etc.

Some new players might be a little apprehensive when they first see "Using/equipping this item will bind it to you". There is no need to fear, the item is simply bound to the inventory of your character - not stuck on or to your character. You can still unequip it and sell it to a vendor, but you will not be able to give it to another player, sell it in the Auction House, or send it through the mail.
