Storage offers the ability to store items permanently in a secure location. Items dropped on the ground will disappear after a time, and can be picked up by other players.
There are four basic categories of storage.
Inventory Storage
Your own backpack's storage capacity can be increased by leveling up Endurance, through certain recipes (such as from Alchemy or Word of Power, but these appear to be temporary effects), and sometimes granted by placing pockets on items via tailoring. Increased inventory space also appears on many pieces of equipment as a part of the random aspect of equipment drops. Leveling up certain skills will also allow you to divide your inventory storage using Inventory Folders.
Council Vault Storage
Hulon offers expandable storage through the Council Storage Machine system. Additional vault storage slots can be bought at increasing prices. Prices increase rapidly.
Slot 25 costs 900 Councils.
Slot 49 costs 8000 Councils.
Slot 62 costs 20,000 Councils.
Slot 63 costs 25,000 Councils.
Slots above 63 increase by 5,000 each time. Slots 81, the final slot, costs 115,000 Councils.
This storage is shared across and can be accessed from multiple zones.
In Eltibule, a Council Vault is accessed through the Dilapidated Council Storage Machine in the courtyard of Hogan's Keep.
In Kur Mountains, a Council Storage Machine can be found at Gurki's home.
In Rahu, A Council Storage Machine can be found in the peaceful part of town, under a balcony near a Meditation Pillar.
NPC Storage
Several NPCs offer personal storage that scales depending on your favor level with them. Sometimes, these NPCs have restrictions on the items they will let you store.
Once you unlock your first NPC Storage or Chest Storage in a zone, you will be able to access that storage both through other NPCs that offer storage in the zone, and at specific intractable items.
In Serbule, a bookshelf in the building next to Hulon's shop.
Usable chests can be found throughout the world. These chests are often discovered through exploration, raising favor with NPCs, or the completion of puzzles. An early example is a chest found on Anagoge.
Special storage systems can also be used under certain circumstances.
Account Storage - Transfer Chests
Transfer Chests allow storing and retrieving items between characters on the same account. Currently, four chests exist. They can be found in:
Players who have joined a guild may have access to Guild Storage chests. This access is dependent on their guild-rank and the access-rights set by the guild master.
Wardens have access to a special storage chest in the Sacred Grotto (also accessible from any Kur storage access point). The number of slots increases as the player gains favor with the NPCs in the Grotto. 132 storage is available at max favor.
Fae Pocket Dimension
Fairies learn to access special storage via the Fae (Race Skill) (10 slots at level 23 Fae (Race Skill), 20 slots at level 33, and 30 slots at level 47). This storage behaves similarly to a storage crate. Like most Fae (Race Skills), accessing the storage costs
Each Winter Holiday, adventurers of Alharth have the chance to donate items at a Shrine of Ri-Shin in southern Kur Mountains. If unlocked, this storage chest grants everyone in-game storage slots based on the shrine's level. The lower tier of storage is 25 slots, the higher tier is 50.
Once you learn the Vendor Fox in a Box ability, the ability requires you to have some type of crate in your inventory. Any crafted storage crate and most pet crates (when Animal Husbandry is released) will work to allow use of the ability. The crate will not be consumed. The cool down timer on the ability will reset in 2 real-time hours, but you still need to spend 2 hours in-game before you can use the ability again. (You can see that timer in your effects bar under the effect 'Boxed Fox'.)
Once you learn the Small Box of Space ability, there are no other requirements. Just use the ability to summon your storage box. The cool down timer for this ability is 90 minutes. The cool down timer on the ability will reset in 90 real-time minutes, but you still need to spend 90 in-game before you can use the ability again. (You can see that timer in your effects bar under the effect 'Spaced Out'.)
Finding Stored Items
isearch
The /isearch command searches all storage a players has access to, except for Guild Storage and Transfer Chests.
/isearch Salt command will return a list of locations and quantities of all items in storage with "Salt" in the name.
Clicking on a magnifying glass icon at the bottom of the inventory window will allow you to use the isearch system without entering a command.
Practical Summoning
A technique for summoning items from nearby storage into inventory, this system becomes accessible once unlocked through the Teleportation skill. Items held in storage in the same zone as the crafter can be summoned directly to be used in crafting.
It is not possible to use Practical Summoning to retrieve items from Council Vault Storage or Guild Storage Chests.
Stow Items in Nearby Storages
Completing Wintria Irasce's quest Care Package from Rahu unlocks the Stow Items in Nearby Storages' button. Pressing this button will move items from your inventory into any nearby storage, provided there is at least once of that item in the storage already.
Talk to Durstin Tallow in the Tapestry Inn to unlock. This can be completed at [Neutral] for a cost of 100 councils to unlock permanently. Select "Can i rent a room?" from Durstin's dialog options (in the Talk menu). The storage locker can be accessed from the bookshelf in the inn, or directly in the nearby building.
A Storage Chest in the Old Town district gains storage space when nightly Povus town quests are completed. This chest has a maximum of 80 slots.
Each quest completed will reward you 1 experience, bonus or regular nights. Every 5 slots will increase the cost per slot. See Xptables/PovusStorage for the total costs.
