Vault Box

Overview
A Vault Box, more commonly referred to as "Storage" by players, is a magical storage service offered by the Xunlai guild.

In order to gain a Vault Box, each roleplaying character must first open an account with the Xunlai guild at any Xunlai Agent for the price of. PvP characters do not have to pay a fee to access the Vault Box.

Despite the fact that the access fees must be paid by each individual PvE character of an account, the Vault Box is shared among all characters of that account, allowing for transfer of items, materials, and gold, among all the characters of that account.

Funds
The Vault Box can be used to store in-game money (gold and platinum), much like a bank, but without the interest. The maximum amount that can be deposited is 1,000 (i.e. 1 million ). A character's inventory can hold a maximum of 100.

The total amount of gold and platinum currently in the Vault Box is shown at the top of the window. Right below it are the buttons used to deposit and withdraw money. Any character may deposit and withdraw money. The "Deposit Funds" button will grey out if the character has no further funds to deposit or the total maximum is already stored, and the "Withdraw Funds" button greys out if there are no funds available to withdraw or if the character is already carrying 100.

Items
The Vault Box has 2 to 4 item tabs, labelled I to IV, each of which has storage space for 20 items or item stacks. The number of item tabs (and thus the amount of storage) depends on the number of campaigns tied to the game account. There is one "core" tab, plus an additional tab per campaign on the account, for a minimum of 40 item slots (2 tabs) and a maximum of 80 (4 tabs). Items that cannot be stacked (such as most weapons and runes) will take up 1 item slot. Items that can be stacked (such as dyes and crafting materials) take up only one item slot, and can be stacked up to a maximum of 250 items. To split a stack, hold down the [Shift] key before you drag-and-drop the stack.

Materials
The storage for materials is an optional upgrade to the Vault Box. It allows storage of up to 250 of every type of common and rare crafting materials. Any surplus from the maximum of 250 must be kept as a separate stack in one of the item storage sections or in a character's inventory.

This upgrade is available by paying an additional fee of (for each roleplaying character that wants access) to a male Xunlai Agent. Once upgraded, it can be accessed via any Xunlai Agents. The materials storage will show up as a separate tab.

PvP characters cannot perform the upgrade. They will automatically gain access if any roleplaying character in that account buys the upgrade.

Male Xunlai Agents can be found in Lion's Arch, Shing Jea Monastery, Kaineng Center, and Kamadan, Jewel of Istan.

Historical Notes

 * The materials storage upgrade (added with the 13th July 2006 game update) significantly reduced the need for mule characters. It was originally made available only to accounts with access to Guild Wars Factions. With the release of Guild Wars Nightfall, Xunlai Representatives have been added to the ports of both the Prophecies and Nightfall campaigns; effectively making the upgrade available to all.
 * Prior to the April 5th, 2007 update, only one item tab was available in the Vault Box. This update added an additional tab containing 20 slots for each campaign activated on the account.
