Shared Inventory Slot
“Double-click to consume.
Double-click to add a shared inventory slot to every character on this account.— In-game description
Shared Inventory Slot is an account upgrade that adds one extra shared slot to the inventory for all characters. Items in shared slots are available to all characters on the account at the same time, acting as a quick access version of a bank item slot.
Shared Inventory Slot is available from Gem store and bundled with expansions, and it is possible to own a maximum of 30 shared slots on the account.

Other[edit]
- One slot comes bundled with Heart of Thorns, one with Path of Fire, one with End of Dragons, one with Secrets of the Obscure, and one with Janthir Wilds. These slots are initially filled with a Level-80 Boost. Consuming the boost will free up the slots.
- If you receive Heart of Thorns free with Path of Fire, you do not get the shared inventory slot or the level 80 boost from Heart of Thorns, meaning you only get one boost and one slot, despite owning both expansions.
- If you have multiple shared slots with the Level-80 Boosts still unconsumed, the boosts will stack with each other freeing up the other slots. The stacked boosts cannot be removed from the last slot until they are all consumed.
Notes[edit]
- The shared slots can be moved either above all regular bag slots, or below them. This is done by dragging the slot, much like you would with a bag.
- The slot is not a bag slot, and does not allow additional bags to be equipped.
- Vendors and the Trading Post will ignore items in these slots, as will "Deposit all Materials".
- Items that soulbind or are already soulbound cannot be placed here.
- The slots can hold all other items, making it especially useful for salvage kits, gathering tools, gizmos, non-wallet keys, or consumables you want an easy access to on multiple characters across your account, such as the Copper-Fed Salvage-o-Matic, Infinite Mist Omnipotion , Mistlock Sanctuary Passkey, Armistice Bastion Pass, Royal Terrace Pass, Bank Access Expresses, or Mystic Forge Conduits.
- If a shared slot fills up with an item (ex. Unidentified Gear) and you have an empty shared slot, any additional items of the same type that enter your inventory will fill that additional shared slot before overflowing into your regular bags.
- Currently, an account can have a maximum of 30 shared slots:
- 25 shared slots can be purchased from the Gem Store.
- 1 additional slot was acquired by owning Heart of Thorns before it was bundled.
- 1 additional slot is acquired by owning Path of Fire.
- 1 additional slot is acquired by owning End of Dragons.
- 1 additional slot is acquired by owning Secrets of the Obscure.
- 1 additional slot is acquired by owning Janthir Wilds.
- The packs of 3/5 shared slots are delivered as 3 or 5 single-slot unlocks that can be consumed individually.
Trivia[edit]
- Shared Inventory Slots were introduced on January 12, 2016 in the Gem Store, with a limit of 5 slots per account.
- The Spring 2016 Quarterly Update on April 19, 2016 added a free slot to accounts with Heart of Thorns unlocked, and raised the limit of purchasable slots to 10.
- The limit for purchasable slots was further increased to 13 on July 12, 2016 [1], and to 16 on January 10, 2017.[2].
- The August 01, 2017 update added a second free slot to accounts with Path of Fire unlocked, bringing the total available limit to 16 purchasable slots plus up to 2 free slots.
- With the release of Path of Fire, the limit was raised by 3 purchasable slots, bringing the total available limit to 19 purchasable slots plus up to 2 free slots. [3]
- On September 18, 2018, the limit was raised by 3 purchasable slots, to 22.[4]
- With the release of End of Dragons, the limit was raised by 3 purchasable slots, bringing the total available limit to 25 purchasable slots plus up to 3 free slots.
- Current bundles of Path of Fire with "Free Guild Wars: Heart of Thorns" only contain a single slot, limiting accounts to a total of 29. There appears to be no current way to gain access to the "missing" 30th slot.
