I'm not sure if this feature was mentioned in the guild hall update but here it is.

How about a little box in the guild hall (isn't universal someone else can't go in and take) that basically holds materials that you waant to hang on to for crafting something later, the reason I suggest this is becaause I'm one of those people that just goes on the Ah and sells all the mats in my box except the expensive ones I know I need like a dragon scale..

So basically it would also account this box when looking up recipes in the ah for mats but for everything else it wouldn't be counted so you don't sell it. And I'm only suggesting this because I'm not sure if the guild hall is going to have one but even if it does are these mats being used to create furniture? So that why I want this seperate mat holder box.

Isnt it....unnecesary? Just control yourself and dont sell it.
And if it's something personal, it shouldnt go on GH.

I wouldn't say its unessisary because I've waisted countless amounts of crowns by selling some mats and them getting b/o and me haveing to go buy it or me taking them back off the Ah and waisting the crown to put it up.

And I thought it be nice just to have abox in the guild halls, we could hav a mat box category in the equipement bar too. Its just like the equipment change boxes in levels they're just there for asthetics but as long as we stand on that square we can change our stuff from our bar.

No comment necessary.

"Its just like the equipment change boxes in levels"

Your equipment is in your arsenal all the time. Loadout stations allow you to change equipment before beginning the floor, but the equipment in there is just your arsenal. Your equipment is bound if you have worn it already. Materials are not bound to you. This is like comparing a bank to airport security and calling them the same.

If you sell soemthing you know you'll need, you're careless (trying to find a polite word)

In fact if you're so.... easily distracted..... will you remember to put them in the box before selling them liek you do now?

@ Luguiru
I have a tendancy to not explainas well, and what I ment is that it would be like the loadout station where it is just another way to open your inventory, like right underneath your materials you could have a bar that says mat box or saved mats. The actual box that would be in a guild hall is just another way to open that section if not make it easyer to do by makeing it like a trade screen on the left would be the box and on t right would be all the things your putting in the box there's no confirm to take them out of the left, just click it, but there is to put them in there.

And yes I understand that I'm a careless, but its because I don't want to have to look at a piece of paper every time I want to start selling my materials so instead I wanted a secure way to make sure I wasn't throwing them out.

@little-juances

Yes I would remeber this the reason I don't rmeber when selling things now is because I'm lazy oh my god! So I wanted a good way to make sure I didn't plus then this would allow me to choose how many I want keep and how many to sell.

So you're just asking for a

So you're just asking for a material bank because you can't control yourself? That's just a problem you have to deal with.

I started reading this and was liking the idea more, under the initial impression that you were suggesting a mat warehouse so that your guild can put surplus mats in it, so others who're in need can grab what they lack in times of need. That, I'd be up for. But yet another inventory screen...no.

"Guild Treasury and Storage
Each guild will have a 'Guild Treasury' that represents the money and valuables owned by the guild. Anything deposited into the treasury: crowns, furnishings, etc. becomes property of the guild and cannot be withdrawn, not even by the guild master. Funds in the guild treasury are automatically withdrawn regularly to pay guild hall upkeep. The larger your guild hall, the more upkeep will be required. Upkeep is paid in crowns.

'Guild Storage' is like a shared arsenal amongst all guild members. Items can be deposited and withdrawn freely. There are separate storages for members+ and officers+." -Nick

I think thats the closest that you're ever going to get to your "mat box" thing.... it would be universal, although what would the point be in having a seperate box? It'd just cost you the loading time every time you had to use it. Budgeting is up to you, as people have said.

Yes we get it now thank you, I constantly waist matterials like a dumbass.

But you know what I think Dark did bring up a nice idea, a guild matterial sharing box that sounds like a good idea as well then fezor brought up the correct post from nick.

So if I knew how ide trash this because it seems like its going to be added in a sort of fshion.
