Cost versus Value

The wiki uses Cost and Value to mean two different things:

• Cost is the purchase price listed by vendors.
• Value is the amount of coin you receive when selling the item.

Notes

• The maximum amount of coin you can hold in your wallet is 200,000 . If collecting money from the Trading Post would send you over this limit, you cannot collect any money until you store your gold elsewhere first. The Coins from Loot and the 2 from the Daily Completionist are lost.
• The maximum amount of coin you can store in your guild bank is 1000 per available tab.
• You can withdraw up to 500 from your guild bank or mail a week. Resets on weekly reset.
