Guild Wars 2

I came across a few toys that my main character cannot use and a couple bags and wanted to send them to my baby thief I made. How…how do I do that ? lol…

I tried mailing to him by his name. “recipient not found”.
I tried mailing to my name Zinky.6573 “you cannot mail to yourself”

I did notice that on my alt, purchases on the trading post can be picked up by my guardian or thief, which was interesting.

How do I mail stuff to alts?

1) Use your Bank. If you deposit items into your bank, you could take them out on the alt character and use them (assuming that they aren’t Character Bound to your main character).

2) Mail things to a guild member, then have them mailed to your alt. This is how I can get the weapons that I wanted whenever I start a new alt and I’m stuck in the beginning instances.

Ahh so I wasn’t a complete idiot at least lol.

One question though: where are the banks, in Rata Sum for example? The only time I’ve seen a bank tab pop up was when crafting.

You can use any crafting station, but there are also bankers around who give you access. They’re marked on the map by a little money bag icon. In Rata Sum they’re in the middle of the 3rd level down (one below all the gates).

From where you arrive in rata sum, go down a level. There’s a triangle shaped room with banks in one side, traders on the other, and guild stuff on the other. I have my mule char parked there for easy access to them all…

More generally, the banks are wherever you see a little gold circle icon with a bag in it. It looks like the TP icon, but with a bag instead of a balancing scale.

in Rata sum it’s 2nd lvl in center
