Vault box



The Vault box, better known as Storage, is the inventory repository service offered by the Xunlai Guild. The vault is shared by all characters on the account. Unlimited access to storage costs 50 for PvE characters and is free for PvP characters (once the vault is unlocked for the account).

You can open the box by speaking with a Xunlai Agent or directly with a Xunlai Chest. There is no access in pre-searing Ascalon, since neither of these NPCs appear in that part of Prophecies.

Storage details


The vault box can be used to store three types of things:
 * Currency: the vault can hold up to.
 * Items: by default, the vault comes with 40 slots for any item that you can carry, much like a character's backpack.
 * Materials: after paying an additional 50 fee, you can store up to one stack (250) of each type of rare and common crafting material.

Money
The total amount of gold and platinum currently in the Vault box is shown at the top of the window. Right below it are the buttons used to deposit and withdraw money. Any character may deposit and withdraw money.

Items
The Vault box comes with two tabs (or panes) of storage space, each with 20 slots for items. As with your backpack, items that cannot be stacked will take up one slot each.

You can expand your item storage up to a total of eight slots as follows:
 * Adding additional campaigns to your account adds one slot each, up to a maximum of four.
 * You can purchase up to four additional panes through through the Guild Wars In-Game Store or NCsoft Store.
 * As part of the Fourth Year Anniversary Celebration, players were able to add a ninth slot for free. This limited offer is no longer available to new or veteran players (see Notes for additional details).

Materials
Material storage is an optional in-game upgrade to the Vault box; each PvE character must pay the 50 fee to be able to use it. As noted above, the material pane holds up to 250 of each type of crafting material; any surplus will take up a separate slot in the ordinary storage (or the character's inventory).

As with ordinary storage, PvP characters do not have to pay a fee, but can not gain access unless that tab is unlocked by a PvE character.

Trivia

 * The 13th July 2006 game update) added the material pane upgrade, reducing the need for mule characters. It was originally made available only to accounts with access to Guild Wars Factions, but after Guild Wars Nightfall was released, all accounts were able to access this upgrade.
 * Until April 5th 2007, there was only one item storage tab available for the Vault box.
 * There was a Guild Vault planned after the release of Factions but never implemented due to technical reasons.
 * Prior to the The Fourth Anniversary Content Update on April 23, 2009, players could only have four panes of storage.
