Gold Storage - Guild Wars Forums

Is there any point in putting your gold in storage other than to transfer gold between character? I mean, there is no limit on how much gold a character can carry is there? Also, you can't lose any gold you are carrying can you? Thanks.

Characters can only carry 100,000 gold at a time.

Kook~NBK~ · Feb 08, 2008, 12:14 AM // 00:14

The most your character can carry is 100k.

No, you can't just lose anything you're carrying on you.

max gold on a character is 100k. there is no way for you to lose gold on your character (like through deaths or anything). max gold in storage is 1000k.

And, if you do have 100K on your character you will not be able to sell anything since there is no room to store it. You will have to transfer a sufficient amount of gold to your storage account to make the sell transaction.

So if you don't have anywhere close to 100k and only play one character, then you shouldn't store any gold at all right?

It doesn't really matter.

It probably helps when you want to save for something, you can kind of forget about it.

Yeah, I put all my gold into storage as soon as I get any incriments of 1k. It's a good way to avoid "impulse" purchases... or accidentally purchasing like 12 pieces of armor at once from a lag spike.

Transfering between chars is one major benifit of using storage, take advantage of it to get a new char up and running fast.

How do people sell stuff for over 1.1m then??

Commander Ryker · Feb 08, 2008, 02:20 PM // 14:20

The word "shouldn't" doesn't apply. Put the gold anywhere you want.

I love the storage, i can save up and not touch it so it just piles up ^_^ Though problem is I do guild funds too lol so then it gets awkward >_< i really wish they put in like a guild bank or something so all members could put it random amounts to save up for the guild and i could use my chest. Would make my saving life easier xDDD

Another reason to leave extra gold in storage is in case you decide to delete your character. I've only deleted 2 since I started playing, not including my PvP slot, so its never happened to me. But I've seen people post that they accidentally deleted a character with gold and items still on them.
