Title.
When an illusion is applied to a helm, it becomes soulbound and can no longer be transferred to other characters. Removing the illusion using the “be-gone” potion removes the soulbound effect.
This does not apply to other armor types.
you happen to be applying a faction helmet illusion, like Devil casque etc?
Nope. Lokarr helm that I’ve been using for years at this point. I also tested with some random vendor helms (not faction) and confirmed the bug with those as well.
This wasn’t happening a couple of weeks ago but we haven’t had an update I can remember so I’m a little confused how this bug came about.
i meant if the illusion you were trying to ex Lokarr was a faction helmt, so if you’re applying Devil’s Casque visual onto Lokar helmet “base”, becoming soulbound is normal since that illusion is still classed as “faction” for some reason
Any other regular transmog should just become untradable with multiplayer(can still put in shared stash) - unless the item has an augment on, then soulbound still applies
But another thing also is you shouldn’t even be forced to use the begone potion, Illusionist should be able to remove it too, so that might be something funky if it requires the potion to even fix the helmet again. - verifying game files might be a good start
*i just checked on 1.2.1.6 and v1.3 and illusionist +untradable v soulbound faction transmog works normal for me there, including illusionist removal
So, (assuming you’re not using a mod), perhaps upload save for devs to see the affected char 
- if it’s enough for them to detect the issue.
You found the issue.
If you (unbeknownst to me) use an illusion of a faction item, it becomes soulbound and untradeable. If you use an illusion of a regular item, it does not become soulbound.
Random chance that the three illusions I used to test were all faction items.
This can be closed. Thank you Gnomish!
