- Mules can carry roughly 10 times more than backpacks. Caravans can carry roughly 10 times more than mules.[2]
- Caravans will have carrying capacity limits and customizable stats, such as defensive points, speed and number of hired NPC guards.[3]

Storage
Storage points exist at Warehouses within nodes and within freeholds.[4]
Player housing storage
Player housing provides an amount of storage.[5]
Backpacks
A backpack is an item crafted by artisans that provides personal inventory space.[7]
- 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.
Banking
Nodes advance to the first stage quickly. This enables NPC services such as vending or banking items.[8]
- Banking between characters is being discussed.[9]
- 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.[10]
Account management
The account management page is used to assign or reassign crowdfunding items to specific characters:[11]
- Cosmetic skins.[12]
- Moving items between characters, where they are only applicable to one character at a time.[9]
Mules
Mules are mounts that assist in the transport of goods, resources, and gatherables to increase a player's carrying capacity.[13] Mules transport goods on a much smaller scale than the caravan system.[14]
