Donating to Your Guild in Guild Wars 2: A Comprehensive Guide
Donating items to your guild in Guild Wars 2 is a multifaceted process, largely dependent on what you’re trying to donate. Here’s a breakdown:
- Treasury Donations: This involves contributing specific items to the guild treasury to help fund guild upgrades, missions, and other activities. You’ll need to interact with a Guild Initiative NPC (found in major cities) that opens a Treasury panel. Eligible items from your inventory will appear in the “Items to Donate” section. Simply double-click or drag and drop the item into an open slot in the “Your Contribution” area.
- Guild Bank Donations: This refers to items placed into the Guild Bank for general use by guild members, like food, crafting materials, or even gear. To access the Guild Bank, visit a Guild Banker or Guild Registrar in any major city, or by activating a Vault Transport upgrade in your guild hall. Ensure you have the appropriate permissions (determined by your guild rank) to deposit items.
- Guild Hall Donations: Donations specific to your guild hall, like decorations or ascended food, have dedicated locations within the hall. For decorations, interact with a Guild Bank terminal, open your Guild Bank vault, and drag the decoration to the “Decoration Donation” area. For ascended food, find the guild tavern proprietor (the NPC with a mug icon) within your guild hall.
