Guild Wars 2

In the bank storage section..is 500 the cap for a stack of materials?

You can buy up to 2000 from the gem store, starting from a base of 250

No, the maximum for each stack is 250.

Edit: For the material storage you can have up to 2000 per material. However, everywhere else a stack cannot extend 250 units.

The cap is now 2,000. You have to pay for the Storage space Expander thing in the Gem Store to acquire that much extra space.

If you don’t want to shell out for that there are other options such as making a mule toon that acts as a “bank”; equip it with bag slots and there’s your ghetto bank/mule toon where you can store whatever you want on it.

EDIT: whoops misread OP’s post regarding stack. No the actual STACK of items is capped at 250, but you can stack 250 of X items into the storage material section at a cap of 2,000. Anything more and you will have to revert to storing it in your bank/on other toons.

Hope that helps.

Bank, bag, and guild storage is 250 per slot.
Account storage can be increased to 2000 per slot.

Wallet: No limit in storage (but some are limited in acquisition per day/week, like raids)
Inventory: All slots capped at 250 units
Bank: All slots capped at 250 units
Guild Bank: All slots capped at 250. No account or Soul bound items allowed.
Collection Expander: All slots capped at 250, but expandable by 250, per 700 gems payed, to a maximum limit of 2000. It’s coded in such way when you double click (to draw items) from a collection expanded stack, that you only draw 250 maximum per double click, to inventory. 4900 gems it costs to reach 2000 collection expander (can be aprox 20% cheaper during sales).

lol, I actually missed the boost from 1500 to 2000. Will need to check into that.
