ljoselfar.2437 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Is it forbidden to transfer gold/items between accounts? I recently started from beginning with Steam account and want to mail all my golds etc from old account to this new account. Would it cause ban?

Sobx.1758 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 (edited) No, you should be fine. There are some restrictions set: https://help.guildwars2.com/hc/en-us/articles/230430967-Gold-Wealth-Transfer-Restrictions-Mail-Guild-Bank- and as mentioned there, they're in place to "prevent the rapid and abusive transfer of wealth that may be associated with account takeovers, fraud, and real money trading (also known as "RMT" or "gold selling").", so as long as you don't fall into those categories you probably don't have anything to worry about.

Danikat.8537 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 It's fine, many players have multiple accounts and will transfer items and gold between them. There's a cap on how much you can send at a time, and that includes the value of items so if you've got a lot of stuff on your old account it might take a while to transfer it over, but you're allowed to do it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khisanth.2948 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 There is a cap on how much you can withdraw per week but I don't think it looks at item values unless it is going by vendor value because sending legendary item is fine and that far exceeds the gold cap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashantara.8731 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I recommend using the Guild Bank instead if you have one and can be sure that no one will take the stuff before you had a chance to log in with your other account. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While this works for items and will likely be faster than mailing everything individually, the guild bank gold withdrawal is subject to the 500 gold per week limit. This is also mentioned on the provided link to the limits in place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the OP mentioned that the gold amount in question was exactly 500 coins, if I interpret their last post correctly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanBB.4268 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 If you do send more than 500g via mail, the mails with over 500g will remain until the next week's reset. The items can be removed, though. There is also limit on the number of mails in your box, so don't load up too many that have gold you can't remove. This is all on the wiki.

Lan Deathrider.5910 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 If you are willing to pay the TP fees, you can buy up stacks of expensive items, then transfer the items, and sell them on the TP. Or just buy the items you'll know you need and transfer them to your main account. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It goes by vendor value which is why Mystic Coins are used for trading, due to the insane difference. The devs are historically mostly concerned about liquid gold in this game since traded gold isn't real gold income and is always either neutral or a loss (with Trading Post fees).
