Guild Wars 2

I’m pretty new to guild wars 2. How do I know what to keep and what to sell? How can I clean up my inventory? Is there a personal stash like in WoW?

I want to enjoy the game, but having a full inventory and not knowing what to do about it is a bit frustrating. I hate dealing with inventory management honestly. It’s a big pet peeve of mine.

Please help.

Open all bags -> Salvage all salvageable trophies -> Deposit all collectibles -> Sell Junk -> Sell all Blue and White equipment

Green equipment depends on the rune/sigil attached to it, but 99% of the time I just NPC them. Green berserker stat stuff (power/prec/%crit damage) typically also sell above NPC price.

Where do I deposit the collectables?

Where do I deposit the collectables?

In the inventory window there’s a little button on the top right corner that gives you the option to do so.

you can also right click on any collectible in your inventory and choose “deposit collectible”.

One thing you do not need to save is gear- you can pretty much use a salvage kit on or sell (to vendor or on trade post) any blue or green gear, especially while leveling up. You can buy or re-buy gear off the trade post any time, it’s not worth saving something in your bank that you might use in the future. Just sell it for now and buy it later again if you need it… rares and exotics are up to your preference.

http://www.gw2spidy.com/ is a great way to find out a good time to sell extra things in your bank/ inventory. Buy low and sell high

I use some characters as “mules” just to hold stuff temporarily. get some good bags on a low level alt and park them near a banker.

Finally, you may want to start a guild that only you belong to and build up influence so that you can get your own personal guild bank. It takes some time or gold, but it is an option for extra storage.

good luck! I’m a hopeless packrat :P

List all bags on TP, list all salvagable trophies on TP, list leveling blues and greens (ones with power) on TP, list major runes and sigils on TP, list all crafting materials on TP, list all unidentified dyes on TP, list all mystic coins on TP, list all leveling jewels (ones with power) on TP, list some white equipment on TP.

Sell non leveling equipment and jewels to merchant along with all grays.

Also… ‘deposited’ items end up in a special tab in your shared bank vault. You can access that from a bank npc (usually in cities but some are dotted about the place) or at any crafting station. Items in your bank stack up to 250, once you reach that limit you can no longer ‘deposit’ them.

It’s also worth remembering that you can sell most junk on the trading post directly from your inventory wherever you happen to be in the game. Just right click on the item and look at the options.
