Guild Wars 2

There is a built in and simple solution to inventory (or nearly ANY other issue) while playing in ANY zone. It is particularly good to know (and obviously lots of players do NOT) in a zone that has limited waypoints (like the new one).

OPEN WvW AND ENTER YOUR BORDERLAND.

You should have FREE access to ALL NPCs large cities have (Bank, Guild Bank, Crafting, BLTP, etc.)

Best of all you can either simply log out when thru with inventory management or open the WvW dialog and click the EXIT WvW icon at the bottom right (Home TAB) and you will return to the EXACT spot where you entered WvW …. FOR FREE.

Apparently not many players know about this and I’m just trying to let everyone know (I played for over a year and half before being directed to this). Note that if your Borderland is full (usually Friday after Server reset) or your Borderland is being heavily attacked this may not be available to you.

As pointed out below, this also does not allow for you to maintain your particular map instance (but then neither does actual WP travel to a city and back). Note that if you are partied with others you CAN get back to an instance (most of the time) as long as one party member remains in the desired map zone.

yea, when this hit me I was kicking myself. I do this a decent amount now. I also use EOTM rather than borderlands if all I need is a merchant or repairs because they are much closer to your spawn point. The only concern in some cases is that you cannot be guaranteed to return to the same instance of the map.

My 1 suggestion would be to add some space at the bottom of everyone’s inventory for “utilities”/currencies (not the consumable buff utilities) that is solely used for things like bandit crests, geodes, lockpicks, shovels, etc. The more areas we have where these unique items play a large role, the faster inventory will hit a problem.

Yes, I know you can buy more inventory space and safe boxes, but it would still be nice to have some default space devoted solely to those items. I could see it expanding with the game but allows you 1 space for each of these kinds of items. if you go over 1 stack it goes into your normal inventory.
