Guild Wars 2

Random but curious. I have searched Google for the answer to this. Surprisingly, nothing turned up.

I suspect no one has reached the cap yet.

Someone told me shortly after launch that it’s 10,000 held on a character and 1,000,000 in the bank, but I have no idea how they’d know that.

It’s definitely over 1000 though or people wouldn’t be able to charge that much for Legendaries.

Correct me if I’m wrong but for some reason there’s something in my head reminding me that the max. Gold in your inventory is 100G. The max amount on bank I wouldn’t know…

Unsure on bank amount but inventory is well over 100G. Currently have double that on one character. Unsure that many people have reach maxed unless they brought a lot of gems or lucky on a lot of precursors :P

Maybe you’re thinking of GW1? In that game you could carry a maximum of 100 platinum (100,000 gold). (I’ve heard it was meant to be a way of making that the maximum anyone could ever charge for an item, but in practice it just lead to players using ectoplasm as currency for higher value transactions.)

Considering you can’t spend gold while it’s in your bank (except on waypoint costs) you have to be able to carry over 1000 or no one would be able to buy the legendaries on the TP.

Incorrect. I’ve held over that in my inventory.

Hmm, now I really wonder why that was in my head haha

Definitely not 100g in inventory. How else would you pay 2.5k gold for a legendary if you cannot hold that much in your intentory? Or even 500g for a precursor for that matter.

If you’re a gw1 player than that might be why, cause you could only hold 100 platinum.

Its 999,999, once I reached that amount, could not deposit anymore…

I’ve had 1600 gold on one character before. shortly after that, I had 1500 gold in the bank.
I doubt the cap is anywhere below 100,000 gold.
my bet is that each character’s inventory and the bank independently cap at 429,496g 72s 95c. where do I get that number, you might ask? it’s the maximum number an unsigned int can be (int is a data type used in databases).
the next most likely would be a cap of 1,844,674,407,370,955g 16s 15c (unsigned bigint)
unless, of course, they hard-code in their own limit, which would be below these.
I propose we test this! everyone, send me all your gold. I will let you know what the total is and if it maxes out how much can be held.
