How Do I Get Extra Storage?
whufc89
My brother has the exact same campaigns as me (Proph + Factions) but he has an extra storage slot. He has 4 slots + materials but I only have 3 + materials. Does anybody know why this is?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Don't know why he has four. You should only have three with two campaigns.
Quote:
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. |

Are you sure you have the same campaigns unlocked? The only way he can have 4 slots is by having 3 campaigns, see the guildwiki page for more info:

He probly has more characters then you. I'm pretty new to GW so I might be wrong, but I think you have the option of creating a extra storage space for every new character you create.

If not, that may be a bug.

To the OP: You have the correct amount of storage. For some odd reason your brother has an extra slot.

Nope, we definitely have the same amount of campaigns, no trial keys etc etc. I guess it's just a weird bug 
Thanks guys.

Thanks guys.

I had 3 when I had Prophecies and Factions. When I got EoTN, it gave me a 4th. Did he maybe play EoTN on the free 5 hour event and it stuck?

I had 3 with Proph+EOTN and 4th when I got NF. About to get Factions, I was hoping for a 5th!

I think I might have figured it out - Nightfall pre-order box ---> +1 slot. Supposed to be there only when you add a Nightfall key, but perhaps it shows because NF is live?

Does he have the bonus mission pack? I know i got an extra slot when i bought the bonus mission pack when it came out?

from wiki:
that says it all (bold mine), if you have different there is a problem or bug. (the bonus mission pack is NOT a campaign)
Quote:
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 It was originally made available only to accounts with access to Guild Wars Factions.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. |

To the OP, have your brother login, go to edit account and then manage keys. If he doesn't have 3 campaigns listed there(Prophecies, Factions, NF) then he shouldn't have 4 tabs. He should only have 3 tabs and the materials tab. I would then select one of his characters, get in game and check if he is just pulling your leg.
