Destroying Obsidian Shards
You could always buy more space to allow more than 250(up to 2000 per stack). You will need the shards at some point.

An alternative for that 800 gems is a mule, an alt that’s used to hold items.
One storage expander purchase can only hold 250 more of any one item. A mule starts off with 20 slots and its inventory can be expanded from there. You can park it either by a chest for a daily harvest (and go to WvW or PvP as needed) or by a bank for easy access.
Be careful what you ask for

I’m assuming you’re talking about a mule on the same account, which might cost a new character slot if you’ve already used them all. I have storage issues but I don’t have mules for this reason. I’ve heard of people having a second account, then you would have the bank slots also. Does anyone have an opinion on doing that?

Big problem with 2nd account: the account bound items. The big reasons I mostly hear are: you can store more items, gather twice the laurels, twice timegated crafts, gather more karma, more achievements and more gathering. All but the first and the last one however are account-bound issues, which means you cannot share these with your main account. There are ways to convert acc bound currency and time-gated crafts into tradeable stuff – i dont argue with that. Not makes much sense to me though ^^.
Honestly I have huge storage problems myself. I do neither farm nor play the market, yet I have a huge collection of “useless” stuff. Plus I feel the need to keep everything sorted and organized. This is how I deal with it:
- long time ago I made a bank guild (as many other veterans out there) with all three sections activated. One I use for runes/sigils/gemstones. One I use for crafting materials, mostly T5/T6 and festival as well as infusions. The third section serves as event-storage, blueprints, food, collector stuff with questionable worth to say the least XD. As it is a guild, all my characters have equal/fast access to it. Sadly I can only store tradeable stuff there.
- Ofcourse I use the regular bank (3 sections) for most account-bound stuff, which is mostly of questionable worth as well. I store my luck there until I fuse it, my insignias/inscriptions, piles of sand, map chest keys, … the usual stuff.
- My mules are two of my characters now. Both I leveled long ago but abandoned as I do not play them at the moment. My elementalist carries all boosters, gear drops with selectable stats (account bound on aquire). The ranger I use for account-bound material stacks which cannot be used with mawdrey II, princess, herta, star of grattitude (haven’t got the 4th one yet ^^).
I mostly main my engineer and have a mesmer, a thief and a guardian I want to develop further. Those I do not use as mules ofc. Although my engineer is pretty occupied with “trash”. When I leave town, he has 40-60/120 slots used already.

Man I never have enough obsidian shards and you are over here trying to destroy yours? How do you get that many?

The OP has an inventory problem (he can’t deposit more Obsidian shards) and the person above me suggested something that can be bought for 800 gems to help his problem. My reply was suggesting an alternative item s/he could buy for that same 800 gems. So yes, my reply is saying s/he could look into buying another character slot.
Another possibility is to use a char that you’ve abandoned as a mule, if you have one. Or a char that’s only used for role playing. Or only used for PvP.
If you have storage problems and don’t/can’t clean out your inventory then a mule is a good option. If $10€ is a problem financially there’s using ingame gold to buy all or part of the 800 gems. If it’s a philosophical mindset that says no chars used for storage then the 800 gems storage expander is your best bet for that 800 gems.
As too second accounts, they are mildly useful for storage. You have access to another mat storage panel however you have to switch accounts to do so. However a storage expander costs $10€. New accounts currently cost more so not really a bargain on that point. And you can’t put your account bound items in there, which can tie up a fair bit of your bank.

I was actually thinking about the base game which is free, vs. a character slot. Of course there are drawbacks to another account as you mentioned, like the fact that you can’t transfer BtA items. But it seems like just transferring unbound items would be worth it since it’s free. I wasn’t criticizing your idea which is perfectly valid, just bringing up another idea and wondering if there are any serious drawbacks to it.
