Guild Wars 2

Hi everyone,

With the recent change to the pre-purchase of HoT most of us are getting 2 extra character slots. Personally I’m not one of those who asked for an extra character slot, I just want more information about the expansion, but well thank you Anet! I really appreciate it.

The thing is, I currently have 9 character slots (1 for each of the old professions and 1 that I used for key farming). With the previous deal I was going to be getting the extra character slot for my Revenant so it was all perfect for me.

But now I got a character slot that it seems I won’t be using, I really don’t want to make another profession since I’m not much of an altoholic, I just like having each profession available to play with them occasionally. Is there a good way to use this slot that doesn’t involves the one for keys? What do you do with extra slots?

Thank you y’all.

You can make a char, get it to level 21 with tomes, park it at a chest for a daily harvest. It will pay for itself with greens, mats and the occasional silver doubloon.

I’ve already filled that slot with a Norn necro that’s going to become a very nice Reaper come HoT.

If anything, I never have enough slots. I tend to have too many ideas, both gameplay and RP-oriented, and then if something doesn’t work out and I lose interest, I usually can’t bring myself to delete the character.

You could use it as a storage mule- load it up with 20-slot bags and stack your bloodstone dust/other account bound items in it.

Well for me, it will likely be a second Revenant. I already have 16 characters and a 17th slot with a name reserved for my Revenant. If I like it as much as I think I will, I’ll be making a 2nd one.

Well, I have 19 toons now, so… having 2 open spots for a Revenant works for me.
Just have not taken the time to figure out the race.

I’d make a mule. Cheapest way for storing a lot of things you don’t need. Like dragonite ore, sigh.

You could make another character that just uses a different race and gender from one of the existing professions you have.

Or maybe one day you’ll have a low level friend who you can make a new character with an level up together, I dunno.

If nothing else, just use it as storage space.

You could level a character to a specific point to grab lower tier crafting mats by getting level specific gear from containers (loot bags, champ bags, etc)… been wanting to do this for awhile.
