Vault box
From Guild Wars Wiki
A Vault box, more commonly referred to as "Storage" by players, is the storage service offered by the Xunlai guild. To access your vault box, each character (excluding PvP characters) must first pay a one-time fee of 50
to any Xunlai Agent. PvP characters have access as long as the access fee has been paid at least once.
Although it would appear that each character is opening a separate account, the storage inventory space is actually shared with all characters of the same account. This allows the transfer of items and gold amongst all of a player's characters.
The vault box can be accessed by talking to a Xunlai Agent or interacting with a Xunlai Chest. There is no way to access to the vault box in pre-searing Ascalon in the Prophecies campaign.

[edit] Storage options
[edit] Funds
The Vault Box can be used to store in-game money (gold and platinum), much like a bank, but without the interest. The maximum amount that can be deposited is 1000
(i.e. 1 million ). A character's inventory can hold a maximum of 100.
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.
[edit] Items
The Vault Box has two to a maximum of four tabs of storage space. Two tabs of storage space are always available. Additional tabs are added when more campaigns or expansions are added to the account, but only the first two added provide the additional tab. Each tab has space for 20 items or item stacks, much like a character's backpack.
Items that cannot be stacked (such as most weapons and runes) will take up 1 item slot per item stored. Items that can be stacked (such as dyes and crafting materials) take up only one item slot, and can be stacked up to a maximum of 250 items. To split a stack, hold down the [Shift] key before you drag-and-drop the stack.
The item storage is shown at the bottom of the Vault Box. If the Vault Box has been upgraded (see below), then the item storage is shown on a tab.
[edit] Materials
The storage for materials is an optional upgrade to the Vault Box. It allows storage of up to 250 of every type of common and rare crafting materials (except for Brick of Mud and Clay Bricks). Any surplus from the maximum of 250 must be kept as a separate stack on the item storage or in a character's inventory.
This upgrade is available by paying a fee of 50 (for each roleplaying character that wants access) to a Xunlai Agent. Once upgraded, it can be accessed via any Xunlai Agents. The materials storage will show up as a separate tab.
PvP characters cannot perform the upgrade. They will automatically gain access if any roleplaying character in that account buys an upgrade.
[edit] Notes
- The materials storage upgrade (added with the 13th July 2006 game update) significantly reduced the need for mule characters, although they are not expected to become extinct anytime soon. It was originally made available only to accounts with access to Guild Wars Factions, but with the release of Guild Wars Nightfall and subsequent updates, all Xunlai Agents offer this upgrade.
- One storage tab has 20 storage slots
- Players gain one additional storage tab for every campaign or expansion on a player's account, but no more than 4 tabs: For example, a player with one campaign automatically has two storage windows (one by default, one for the campaign), a player with two campaigns gets two additional tabs in total (and has three), and a player with two campaigns and one expansion will have three additional tabs, for a total of four storage windows, but a player with all three campaigns and the expansion will also have four storage windows.
[edit] Trivia
- Until April 5th 2007, there was only one storage tab available for the vault box.
