Guild Wars 2

I tried to find a thread about this and tried to find the information on the wiki, but I guess I’m not using the right keywords.

So I just started the demo, and of course I see the “this won’t be saved” warning, but I also notice I have access to my bank? Does this mean I can put my inventory in my bank?

Like many of the items of course say they’re for demo characters, so does that mean something bad will happen if I stick something in the bank? Will it hurt my standing to try and save items like this?

And why do I have several boxes of armour items? Is this a shared inventory, between demo characters or are they different armour sets (like the first box I opened was all emblazoned)?

Additionally, does the warning at the top about nothing being saved include mastery points/mastery skills and money? Is this taken away when I log out?

Thanks in advanced.

Once you create the first DEMO-Character the Game creates a copy of your entire account, then unlinks the copy and unlocks the PoF-DEMO on it. That way they keep the two seperate.

However if you have the time and inventory space you can exploit this and make your time easier in the Demo:
Creating a copy of your account means also copying your account storage including your bank and material storage. If you deposit some gear and utilities, Armor Boxes or other goodies in the bank before you create a DEMO-Char, you will copy all of it and will be able to use it in the Crystal oasis. E.g. I twinked over my Scholar gear and my legendaries as well as some boosters and BL QoL consumables.
Because the Accs are unlinked after copying, you can freely use all those resources without the fear of losing them on your main Acc.

Heck: You can even Ecto-Gamble for free in the demo this way

Once the Demo is over the Copy of your account is deleted, hence everything on it is “lost”. (but it’s only a copy, so your main acc doesn’t change)

The Boxes you start with are so you can get a comfortable build for your Demo. Because it’s all unlinked ANet can give this away for free because it’s impossible to get anything out of the demo to real accounts.

Okay, that makes much more sense, I wasn’t sure how they were doing it.

Thanks for the answers!
