- Caravans will have carrying capacity limits and customizable stats, such as defensive points, speed and number of hired NPC guards.[3]

Backpacks
A backpack is an item crafted by artisans that provides personal inventory space.[9]
- The higher level the backpack, the greater the inventory space.
- Different backpack types cater to different activities. For example:
- Gatherer's backpacks are intended to carry gatherables.
- Adventurer's backpacks are intended to carry consumables and items.
In order to roleplay you need to be able to represent kind of what your character is doing in that world and you know part of what animation is doing is creating these sockets on the let's say the belt or the backpack that you know can plug in certain types of props or items that are created by the character team.[7] – Steven Sharif
Banking
Nodes advance to the first stage quickly. This enables NPC services such as vending or banking items.[10]
- Banking between characters is being discussed.[11]
- A warehouse ability may enable a player to transfer non-material goods between alternate characters. This excludes resources, materials or anything that relies on the caravan system.[12]
Account management
The account management page is used to assign or reassign crowdfunding items to specific characters:[13]
- Cosmetic skins.[14]
- Moving items between characters, where they are only applicable to one character at a time.[11]
Mules
Mules are mounts that assist in the transport of goods, resources, and gatherables to increase a player's carrying capacity.[15] Mules transport goods on a much smaller scale than the caravan system.[16]
