Jerich Posted a Guide: Guildwars 2 Inventory and You! - A Guide to Maximizing Inventory in GW2 (Part 3)
Part 3:  Adding Inventory By Purchasing Your Own Private Guildbank We can be part of multiple guilds at once in Guildwars 2.  This means that you could create a dummy guild just for the sake of a guild bank.  While I think we should always represent Gaiscioch so that our task influence go to our guild, it is quite possible to buy the influence you need to purchase a guild bank.  Here are the breakdowns... Cost of Hiring a Guild Promoter10 influence for 10 silver100 influence for 1 gold1,000 influence for 10 gold10,000 influence for 100 gold Cost of adding a guild bank500 influence to research Architecture Level 11,000 influence to research Architecture Level 21,000 influence to add a 50 slot guild bank(requires level 2)5,000 influence to research Architecture Level 3??? influence to research Architecture Level 45,000 influence to add 100 additional slots to your guild bank (requires level 4)??? influence to research Architecture Level 5 10,000 influence to add an additional 100 slots to your guild bank (requires level 5) AnalysisThis means that it will cost a mere 25 gold to add the first 50 slots to your personal guild bank...

Marmar Posted a Blog: Hunter's Logistics
Avaliana trailed through the beaches and jungles near the Abundant Wilds of Ember Isle, in search of prime game for meat. Covered in brush and bruises alike after a spat with a Defiant turned ugly, the rogue was looking for some much needed venting. The warrior stole coins she'd gotten from a recent sale of goods, and the ordeal stressed her to no end. She climbed up a steep ridge overlooking several herds of razorbeast and island gators. "Excellent. We will be eating well tonight, Bones," she whispered to her loyal wolf companion...

Sarosan Posted a Blog: Depression, teenagers, and gaming.
My pre-teen and teen life was consumed by playing SNES, PSX, and PC games. It was spent pretending I was the character on my screen. I was overweight, socially stunted, and unable to face the world. I went through about 8 years of severe depression. Diagnozed with severe chronic depression, adhd, and social anxiety, I was left wondering if I would ever be able to cope with life. I often asked myself how much gaming impacted my lack of social development. How much did it impact my development as a man? Usually I justify it by telling myself that we all forge our own path in life, but it's hard for me to not think about what I would have accomplished had I not lived my life online...

Sarosan Posted a Blog: A new life
In January 2010 I picked up my life in my native Tempe, AZ and moved to Houston, TX. Really the reason for me moving here was for my girlfriend who I met playing WoW in 2007. At the time I was more than excited to start a new life in a new city, but I'd be lying if I wasn't nervous. Sure, I'd travelled to other places in the U.S. with my family and friends, but never without them. This would be the first time I'd be away from everyone for more than a week. Almost immediately after arriving here a massive feeling of emptiness overcame me...

Manluas Posted a Blog: Final Trial
In a cave, where the only light comes from a small crack from the ceiling stands Tashwen, standing in the light, and Manluas, standing in the shadows of the cavern, in front of her. Manluas says "This shall be your final trial, you shall experience things you have never experienced before on previous tests." Tashwen nods and says "I am ready." Manluas closes his eyes, then quickly widens them, his eyes turn black, and an aura of the same color appears from them. Tashwen vision's fades, then clears after a few seconds, what she sees is a presence behind and above Manluas...

Diella Posted a Blog: Irariele- The tale of a simple hunter
My story starts with the most extraordinary event of my life, that is to say my first death. While most of you would not argue that death is a pretty extraordinary event, many would have cause to ponder why I would start my story with it. Is not death the end of everyone’s story and do not the Fates decree only a single life and death to each mortal. That is true but when the Gods of the Vigil deem to get involved in mortal affairs even the decrees of Fate can be over ruled. The Servants of the Vigil walked among mortals plucking the fruit of the war from the fields like a farmer separating the wheat from the chaff...

Sarosan Posted a Blog: Dealing with the calm before the storm.
As a gamer I've long fell subject to the "waiting game". A new game gets announced, we get teased with content, then we figure out how to best spend our time before we get a chance to play it again on the day of release. Maybe it is because the game itself is really that good and we see it as the second coming come to rescue us from the throws of gaming boredom. Maybe it highlights a bigger issue; boring lives. I consider myself to be pretty lucky to have an awesome girlfriend, who has an awesome son, I have a roof over my head, a stable job, and enough money to at least pay the bills (and play games)...

RustedCrown Posted a Blog: Forever Young
A poorly bound book sits on a table its leather cover worn from years of being taken in and out of a gear bag. Several pages have come loose and look as if they are trying to escape their masters quill. One page has scribbled on it in dark bold letters FOREVER YOUNG. The words stand out as if whoever wrote them had some other meaning for them. As if they were a curse of some kind. One of the other pages that has long since lost its place among the tome reads: The Journal of Devina. This is my journal as I try to piece together the shattered shards of my life...

Majanee Posted a Blog: A little Celtic Wisdom
There are three roads to greatness: To be wise in word, To be wise in deed, and To be wise enough to control ones's own passions. There are three things from which one should never stray: Belief in oneself, Belief in higher self,and Belief in the truth. There are three things that one should never approach: A liar A thief, and A knave. Know that there are three candles that illuminate every darkness: Truth, Nature,and Knowlege.

Athran Posted a Blog: My life with Gaiscioch
I figured this should be be first blog. Gaiscioch is by far the Best guild I've bean in in my entire life, and the one guild I don't see my self leaving due to attacks by other players or lack of activity. Life in this guild is great there are events that gut the guild together forget about ranks and raids this guild shines by the personality of the players and the unity that makes you feel welcome. I personally don't see my self leaving the guild even for a top end raiding guild with perfect times to fit me, I'm happy where I am.

Kadiskas Posted a Blog: A spirit is born
Her face red from working over the fire all day she turns back to the piece of metal that lays upon the anvil. She has strained everyday for weeks since her father told her that she could have her own armor and weaponry to make her chest piece just how she wanted it. With every pound of her hammer she pounds a bit more of herself into it trying to make it perfect in her eyes. Her eyes squint as she pounds her hammer on the corner of her breastplate to get the right curve to it so it will mesh with the rest of it...

Jerich Posted a Guide: Guildwars 2 Inventory and You! - A Guide to Maximizing Inventory in GW2
Note: I posted this originally in the forums, but it was suggested I make it a guide so I am posting it here as well. I hope HTML works in the guide format. I always run out of inventory space in any MMO I play. The main problem is that I love to craft and quest and always have a ton of those items on hand. Here are some things I've found out about GW 2 to help me plan my storage space. Starting Inventory Account 30 shared bank slots Crafting Material / Cooking Material / Mini-Pet Storage...

Marmar Posted a Blog: A Difference of Opinion & Dominion
Avaliana scrolled into the tavern just outside of Quicksilver College. Though not carrying her normal cargo of shipments for Davek the barkeep, she took a free seat and ordered a round of food and drink. There were always some familiar faces at the tavern, but today it was fairly quiet. The summer festivities had everyone out and about. She enjoyed the heat as always, but Avaliana preferred the drier heat of the deserts rather than the humid climate of Silverwood. Listening in to some of what her fellows discussed, Avaliana noticed a common phrase...
