APrincessOfAlot.4735 Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 After just getting my "Gourmet Training" for Ascended Cooking and receiving my Brick Oven in my Home Instance, I am wanting to add a "Black Lion Trader" and "Banker" to my Home Instance as well for convenience.....can this be done?....this is my first time interacting with the Home Instance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farohna.6247 Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 (edited) Nope. There are many farming nodes you can add, but not a bank, nor other crafting tables, or other traders. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Home_instance Edited August 1, 2023 by Farohna.6247 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linken.6345 Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 You can use the stove on your cooking character as a bank. But yea it would go against their gemstore passes if you were able to add both your suggestions account wide. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mistlock_Sanctuary 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Storm.3046 Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 .... this is why in spite of all of the naysayers for housing, assuming it would accommodate, would love to have one point of access that provided everything in close proximity... Currently Arborstone is my 'convenience', (without the nodes, of course)... is there something better? It's not Guild Hall or Home Instance... would Eye of the North be better, if I chose to unlock all the vendors? Haven't looked into Gem Stones.. is there an option that's better? I did check out the Mistlock Sanctuary per @Linken.6345... is that the optimal way to go for convenience? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 (edited) I prefer Royal Terrace for close proximity, but each person has their favorite. @OP If you use Dreamer's Terrace, next to the entrance Waypointing to Reckoner's Terrace (via Reckoner's Waypoint) is instantaneous and has Bank and Trading Post NPC. As noted above, the Cooking Station inside the Home Instance includes a Bank. Edited August 2, 2023 by Inculpatus cedo.9234 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks.. that's another Gemstone item? I suppose it's natural that convenience would have a price... PS. Gratz on 24k... that's a lot of input and help that you've provided... thank you. 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before I got my gemstore pass (Armistice Bastion, best pass if you care about WvW), I used to go Rata Sum. Due to its vertical layout and the way the game loads assets, you have no loading times for using waypoints when going from the center waypoint to other waypoints inside the city so you can get almost instantly to wherever you need to go. Should be true for the Grove too but I dislike that the home instance waypoint is not accessible from the world map while not already on the map and the crafting stations are a bit further out of the way compared to Rata Sum. Arborstone is not bad but I passionately hate how you have to navigate using the floor elevators and the crafting stations are kind of at the end of the world compared to everything else. It does have the summoning stone vendor though so that's nice. Next best would probably be Eye of the North as the unlocks are cheap enough except for the bank (=guild bank) one, but if you're fine with not having guild bank access, you can just use the crafting stations as your normal bank and skip out on that.

idpersona.3810 Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 As said, use the Cooking station as a bank. I personally use Arborstone for my hub when I don't need crafting and Lily of the Elon for when I do want to craft. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamfir.8462 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) Don't forget the Invitation to "Lily of the Elon" [ https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Invitation_to_"Lily_of_the_Elon" ] Acquisition[edit] Purchasing either the Path of Fire Deluxe or Path of Fire Ultimate edition. This item will be sent to the player via the in-game mail system in a mail titled "Special Item Delivery".

SpacePenguin.9731 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Don't forget Obsidian Sanctum too. Lots of vendors and a bank, and easy travel back to where you came from or LA. And available for free to everybody. Just don't hang around there if you want to keep your WvW participation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blude.6812 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) There are permanent contract you cans get https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Permanent_Black_Lion_Merchant_Contract. You can have them in you storage and use them anywhere.They are all listed here, if you want to gamble with Black lion Chests. They may have been a rare drop while playing in the past and I don't know if they are available that way anymore. I got a Permanent Banker a long time ago. There are also some available on the TP for an outrageous amount of gold. That being said, Mistlock Sanctuary is my go to since I got it free with the EXP.

BlueIce.6951 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I would also suggest you add this to the new gem store requests or Quality of Life threads. The more people that want something, the more likely it will at least be looked at/contemplated by Anet. I myself have all of the home upgrades and a few of the passes for various areas. I still think having a banker and black lion trader in the home instance would be a nice addition so that you would not have to leave to take care of some things just to come back in and finish up.

If you want bank access it is probabely cheaper to just level up chef to 425 on each character mate. After you got a chef to 500 ofcourse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After you got a chef to 500 ofcourse. I do have chef maxed out on one character and can use the service on that character. I would feel differently if the chef station showed for all characters regardless of chef level on that character. I just have too many characters to want to assign chef and max it out on all of them. I also offer home instance runs for gathering all of the nodes and it would be a nice option to allow people to access their own bank if they need while running the home instance. I don't see any potential downsides to having either a black lion trader or a banker in the home instance since they are so easily available via lounge's or areas like Arborstone. It would just add more options and as someone who likes to complete things it would feel good to have those available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donari.5237 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) I used Royal Terrace for years, and still do, but my go-to is now Thousand Seas Pavilion (it's huge but the crafting is all tightly placed, plus it has amenities like fishing, a jade bench, and easy world wide access) or Wizard's Tower. I like crafting that is near the TP and the forge and has a high ceiling so my camera can stay zoomed out, and all three of those offer that. Wizard's Tower is also free if you own SotO, you will get it quite naturally via doing the story. Edited January 16 by Donari.5237 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
