It would be EXTREMELY handy to have a 1-2 slot account-wide “drop-box” in which you can place any item, anytime, anywhere. Every character on your account will have access to this same drop-box.

The purpose of the drop-box is not for storage, but for easily transferring an item from one character to another. For example: you got festival tokens on one character and need to transfer them to another character that has the bulk of them to spend. This allows you to avoid having to take both characters to a bank.

I think there is such a thing, in essence…it’s called Banker Golem.

Obviously this would be a superior option, as it would be permanent and require no character to be near a bank. The Banker Golem would still serve it’s own purpose as well, so it’s not rendered ‘obsolete’ for gem store considerations.

No need to be ‘near a bank’ with the Banker Golem. In fact, that is it’s main purpose. No need to be near a bank! Lol.

That’s not the point Revenant is making. In your vision all of our characters must all have a permanent banker golem in order to do any useful and fast trading of gear. That’s just not realistic.

I had a similar idea before, when they released the royal passes. I would gladly pay gems for a permanent royal pass, which appears as an icon in my inventory tab on all my characters. And it should of course work like the HoM stone. Fast loading map with all services, leave to return to your first location.

It gets really annoying to have to transfer your convenience items in the inconvenient way we have now.

Not quite as quick as I’d like but I do it this way.

  • Go to <your server here> borderlands.
  • Go to any crafting station.
  • Put the stuff in the box.
  • Switch characters.
  • Go to <your server here> borderlands.
  • Go to any crafting station.
  • Get the stuff out of the box.
  • Exit mists.

Please note that neither character has to lose their position in the PVE world (like they would if you mapped to a town to achieve this for example).

I understand his concept quite well. There is a thread about this every so often. In fact, two on the front page today.

The point is…unless it costs about what ArenaNet would get from several Banker Golems (which actually can be acquired free with a disposable character slot…for a limited time), Permanent or otherwise, I doubt we would see it offered.

Maybe they will……….some day. =)

Are they? Forgive my ignorance but I’m certain at some point these were soulbound.
