    42:00 CORRECTION, that rune crafter's kit does not salvage out the rune for you. What it does is salvage out the rune/sigil then salvages it so you 100% get salvage components from the rune or sigil. I found that out after a support ticket. You need to just Blacklion salvage kits or the upgrade extraction tools.

    A note about encumbered - you may find youre full up but the items in the encumbered window are consumable. You can actually drag items from your inventory and the encumbered window to swap them around. There might be some niche situations where your bags are full, you can temporarily swap the consumable item, consume it, then collect your old item back. Rather than have to get rid of one of your items, in order to collect the consumable...in order to consume it anyway. Hope that made sense.

    A top-tier salvaging tip: Keep your unidentified gear either in your shared inventory slot or somewhere else where the salvage kit can't get to it, then go through this process: 1. Identify a couple pieces of the lowest gear rarity. 2. Salvage all of that rarity. 3. LEAVE the materials. 4. Identify all of that rarity. 5. Now if you become encumbered from that, just deposit all and the encumberance will go away. 6. Repeat from step 2. This makes the whole process for me go much faster and eliminates the need to even watch and see if you're close to dipping into the unidentified gear. Second tip: There are very few things for everyday players that are actually worthless. Depending on the kind of player you are, the economy and figuring tricks out can open up a whole new world of possibility in the game. For an example, you had lots of luck and you're at the magic find cap. While not something a new player will achieve for a while, your case opens up an interesting new trick. You save your exotic luck for the festival and, presumably know you could refine the lower-tier luck into more exotic luck rather than throwing it out. But something few players realize is that blue luck can be used to promote Lunar New Year backpieces. Depending on how the economy is at various times of the year, this can give some decent gold. This is probably something very few people other than myself can identify with, but there's an aspect to this game of that whole idea of "not wasting any part of the buffalo" where everything has a use that intrigues me and got me much more interested in playing the game after achieving many of my goals. Third tip: Kind of a corallary to the previous one. Try and consider the time of year it is when you're playing. Why were the pumpkin oils, etc. so cheap? Well, it's halloween. Everyone and their dog has inventories flooded with the halloween utilities which give a good magic find buff. The prices were maybe 2-4 times that much in the weeks and months before October. Last tip: This is really more of a compulsion of mine to make sure everyone is as efficient as possible, but for new players (as of this writing) I would generally recommend the following: For blues, use a basic salvage kit or the copper-fed if you have it. For greens, vendor it if you want easy gold or use the runecrafter's kit if you have it (this one might be controversial/wrong so I defer to others if this ends up being my outdated/ignorant view). For yellows use the Master's salvage kit or the mystic salvage kit if you have the stones to make it. If you're a weird/unlucky player with no stones and tons of yellows and have the silver-fed, then it can be used.

    Advice/info for new players: WP's 32 slot bags are the largest in the game and are hugely expensive to craft (120g+ each). They are one of the many LONG TERM goals in GW2 and when starting out 15/18 slot bags are perfectly fine. (I'm a veteran of the game and am still rocking 18/20 slot bags on most of my characters)

    This helped a ton. Ive been playing on and off for years and recently came back in a more dedicated manner. My main issue playing any form of MMo is that Im a hoarder, Id rather jump off a cliff then to delete an item I *might* be using ten years down the line. Gw2 is great since it doesnt have the usual, and tedious, equipment treadmill, but its bad when it comes to all the different consumables and currencies that are only half explained. So seeing someone who has gone through all of it before, who can say "I dont care about this and that" helps greatly, since I can look at my own account and go "Oh, I completed this, so I can delete it, it doesnt have any more worth for me." So yes, its a very long video, but also helpful. So many people just skip so many parts and just say "Do this, I done this off screen" or whatever, but you never really get an insight in what exactly the thought process is. Thank you very much for posting this, it gave me great many tricks to use in organising my (Also very) cluttered inventories :)

    Doing those HoT meta train all those year ago really forced me to learn inventory wars pretty early on and there were several type of loot bags before its mostly consolidated to unidentified bags nowadays. One thing that help was not clicking on the jumping chests on top of your map or the loot bags till the end of a map meta (or the train itself). Or a downtime while waiting to start, like the meta for Dragon's Stand. As for whether to sell rares or salvage them, I usually compare their price with the ectoplasm in the market. I use one those bags which hide its content from the sale menu on TP or vendor, as well as exempt any of it from being deposit, compress or salvaged. Usually put in those loot bags and mats that my bank is already full of, and sell/salvage them when the price is right.

    I have one extra tip: if you put stacks of unidentified gear (blue/green/yellow) into shared inventory slots they will NOT be salvaged when you use Salvage All option. Unidentified gear will also accumulate there no matter which character you play - saving 3 inventory slots on each character. Thanks to this video I learned about option to sort inventory items by their value on Trading Post which is extremely handy for quickly determining whether something is worth selling instead of salvaging. Now I will be able to easily sell more valuable items instead of salvaging everything.

    All my characters have one invisible bag/box (at the bottom just above the shared slots) for gear, consumables and other stuff I do not want to sell/salvage/deposit/... by accident. And it was amazing to see such a messy inventory. I'm usually cleaning up before logging off or switching characters and sometimes even in between, e. g. at the end of a map meta. The GW2 UI has indeed some powerful tools for inventory management, but the question still is why the game messes up your inventory in the first place and then gives you the tools to clean it up. Getting loot should feel rewarding and not like a burden.

    I would say with the Salutes you can get Black lion Salvage kits which is i guess i can say the best kit, ascended salvage kit for asc stuff i don't need anymore, along with the Portable Composter which could have been used on the foods. as for slot bags i suggest the Reinforced boreal Trunk, as they are the easiest and cheapest 1s i thing to make, the Halloween Pail is also a good 20 slot bag as it also rather cheap to get.

    I wish Anet offered more bank space without gems that would help my inventory, I think you only get one tab. or give us extra bank tabs when we purchase expansions, it feels like a waste to spend money on features that should be part of the game.

    @@lienzablev6814 that requires a ton of gold for just one small tab. Gold that could've been used to play the game, like getting a legendary or getting the griffon mount. its not worth the time investment to convert gold to gems just for an extra bank slot. Also this is a basic feature in every decent MMO, even guild wars 1 didn't limit your bank storage like this.

    I think the next stage that usually happens (or happened) for me follows everything in this video, and really starts to become an issue after repeating this process 10-25+ times. You start building up a bunch of exotic or even ascended equipment that you may want to use on alts, especially if they’re stat-selectable. It’s not quite as simple as selling them, and your bank may be too full to hold them. That has always been a massive source of clutter for me, and it happens a lot around festivals or certain patches when new skin sets are available. Recently, because of the legendary armory, a lot of that stuff has been becoming obsolete for me, which has been fantastic. But that’s absolutely not really relevant to the new player experience, unfortunately. In general, I’d really just recommend not holding onto more than about 2 of each type of exotic weapon/armor for future builds, and I tend to either keep those in my bank or even on a character specifically designed to hold this items (that is a luxury, I realize). But I’ve basically realized its not worth it for me to bother holding onto more than about 2 of any given type of item - I just don’t play enough characters or do build craft enough to warrant keeping more. As for handling exotics, which the video kind of didn’t cover super extensively: I will typically see if I need the skin and will unlock it, otherwise I’ll see if they sell for a good amount (50s+ for armor, 1g+ for weapons) to sell directly on the tp. If they don’t sell for that much or they’re account bound, I’ll mystic forge exotic weapons. Any other exotic weapons or armor, I’ll salvage with a master kit. Since I have a Mystic Forge Node, I also often mystic forge rare weapons, but I think I’d suggest new players not bother doing that.

    Regarding the time...a new player would be fighting with a smaller inventory filled with less diverse items. The principle is the same, but in this case the video provides a lot of benefit to more experienced players as well. One question (open to anyone)...rather than sell items like the food, wouldn't you be better breaking that down with the cooking kit? I found cooking ascended food required a lot of resources at several tiers. I realize festival foods don't work, but mango pies and the like do. Even to pile into a guild bank for your chefs.

    Welcome to my video game life. There are games I don't play because my inventory/ bank is too overstuffed. I just don't want to waste my time dealing with it. I take my money elsewhere and play a different game. It's not my fault devs did not put a good inventory system in their game. I don't play video games to manage virtual bag space (I really don't know what devs are thinking with that or why its even a thing).

    How much gems did it actually cost to buy all the extra bag slots, bank storage spaces and material storage upgrades? If all are maxed then that's $215 extra for all upgrades (and the bag slots are character bound, not acount wide). Unless you used Gold to gems conversion or sales offers. Although perhaps you can bring it in as a write off.

    Hey WP, i just wanted to point out that i like your current audio setup. It has a good amount of low end without being overpowering (i noticed this mainly as i was listening in my car). If you're anything like me, which your "i have messed with my audio please let me know if it's good" comments indicate, then you too spend an ungodly amount of hours messing with tiny audio settings that no person would ever notice (that sentence was way too damn long). But you still do it anyway because it's never perfect. Is this the SM7B or RE20? It sounds RE20 to me but it's always hard to tell after editing.
