Hey, I really need some storage space as I still only have the default amount of bank space. However, I can’t afford to buy any with gold and I’d rather not pay 10 euros for just a little more space.

So, I was wondering if making my own guild and using it’s vault would work. I know that making a guild costs 1 silver, and that buying 1000 influence for the vault is 2 gold. So can I just make my own personal guild, spend 2,01 gold to get a 50 slot vault and be done with it or are there any additional costs?

Edit: ah yeah, seeying as you can’t put account bound/soul bound stuff in there it’ll be mostly useless to me. :C Nevermind!

I can’t remember whether you need architecture level 1 and level 2 unlocked in order to build the guild stash (you definitely need level 1) – either way you will need to add the influence for that into your equation. To unlock level 1 is 500 influence and level 2 is an additional 1000.

Also, be aware that a guild stash will not allow you to store any item that is account or soulbound, so this will restrict the things you can place in there once it is built.

1000 influence is only for the vault itself. You first need to get the architecture upgrades which are 500 and 1000 each. So in total the vault will cost 2,500 influence.

Yip, you need to research architecture to level 2 first. level 1 cost 500 influence and level 2 cost 1000 influence. So a total of 2500 influence.

Also keep in mind: not everything you can store in your personal bank can be stored in the guildbank.

Hmm so around 5 gold then..

Oh gee, I never thought about the soul bound/account bound part. I just looked in my bank and saw that 99,9% of the stuff I have in there is either account bound and/or soul bound, which means a vault would be a bit useless to me. XD Oh well, I’ll go and save some gold for an extra bank then.

Thanks for the info guys. ^^

I share it with a very valuable friend of mine, and i use my side of the bank mostly for bag’s weapons and salvagable materials for when it is daily recycler.

Yeah, it costs a bit. It has its uses if you are going to do crafting and have a lot of intermediates to store temporarily. Is also useful when you start getting more than one stack of materials that you don’t want to sell.

I would more recommend it if you get your regular bank panels completely bought and find that you need more storage because it’s filled up with account bound stuff.
