How do you tackle storage issues from a single player perspective?

I'm at that point I need a serious clean out of my characters, having aquired too much stuff. Little bit out of touch with my options here so would like to here how others tackle this.
I was accustomed to simply mailing excess between accounts but this isn't viable now as I'm exceeding limits on both ends. I have 2 accounts, 4 characters and can make another character if needed, hell could make endless accounts and characters if that was the best option?
So,
1) What's the current limit on mail storage, I think it used to cap at about 2 mail attachments then you couldn't do it, be it to yourself or another account, not sure if either of those have changed differently from one another?
2) I've upgraded my personal storage once and would consider doing it again, it's 600z for 12 spaces? and that's constant?
3) The other option I'd like to hear about is guild storage? If I made a guild on one of my characters what are my immediate, additional, storage options, if any? If there's none, at what cost/point do you gain guild storage. This seems potentially the best option (cost pending) as it would allow my unguilded chars shared access from anywhere?
Anything else I'm overlooking? Stuff like just making a "mule" on additional accounts. I'm accustomed to mules, having been a fairly hardcore D2 player
I think age has made it less appealing having to make numerous characters and start naming then, "Purples 1, Purples 2, Blues.." etc..

Also, run each "mule" through the two quests which give extra bags for free. Plus use their personal banks.
After that? More free accounts, or convert AD to Zen, and buy character slots.
1. I'm not sure, as I just use my AD to buy blue bags (Zen exchange, not AH lol) on the important chars I play. But I could send like 20 items last time trough the mail to other char. So at least 20 or more is allowed ^^
2. I know the price stays, I don't know if there is a limit on how much bankslots you can buy.
3. Guild bank slots cost also AD, first one is 150k AD. Probally would get more expensive how higher it goes, but not sure about that as I don't use it.
Best way is probally to earn AD and just buy the blue bags. They are really helpfull for me at least, have no storage probs
hmmm, low level enchants should be fused, and I often just keep enchants of each type in my lower bags. I have 5 bags on all my toons, and I am wondering if i can have 2 greater bags of holding on the same toon? the ones you get from the pack(s) and earn in quests are substandard to a greater bag and i will probably replace them all in time. all the lower pots are needed for alchemy research and should be sold on AH at the very least.
I have bought an additional char bank slot as well and dropped 300K ad on my own Guild bank slot (48 slots so the first few are the best bargain, you just need 5 accounts with toons to 15 and multi logging capability to create the guild)
Inventory is the largest annoyance in this game. I cannot remember a game where i actually just left loot as the norm, rather than collect and sell. Hopefully account banks will be implemented, or the companion/mount/fashion tab(s) or even an enchantment slot would make me and my entire guild very happy.
So does anyone know if i can swap out all my lesser bags for Greater bag of holdings?
forgot how that went with a personal bank.
gb doesn`t allow bound items ofcourse.
but, i`m a little happy with it.
didn`t count the cost difference between gb slots and personal bank slots.
personly i still like to see the extra bag option, the max on those is very limited if you don`t want to trouble of organizing everything in seperate places.
My main character has all greater bags but only 3 slots empty, both account mail slot attachments are full as it won't let me do anymore mail attachments. Nothing I'm holding is junk, I do alot of pvp, usually from level 10 through to 60 and I like to twink so I have gear set ups for each 10 levels for that character prior to starting so it's easy to switch out pvp gear when I need to, my main character has the majority of maxed professions so anything created ends up on her until it can be moved about.
I think avoiding anything with a zen cost is obviously better, unless it was alot more convenient. As for the feywild comment, wasn't too sure how to reply to it as it didn't seem relevant. The pack gave alot more than a extra character slot.
A character slot purchase gives 2 characters. It costs I think 500 zen? 2 characters (leveled enough for the free bags) gives you what, 3 bag's worth of storage each (bank included)? So for 5 bucks you get 6 bag's worth of space. A bag costs amost as much as that EACH.
you can buy most gear for such low ad
and use the mailsots for more important stuf ;p
you`re not afraid of drowning in all the accounts ?;p

i still can barely manage it, and then the pots(bufs).
Regarding runes & enchants - at 60, you will never get anything below R4 unless you're running profession tasks that give small chests of goods, or are doing something in a lower level zone. Thus, you only have to worry about R4's. If you don't fuse them until you need a higher rune/enchant, that further saves space. I haven't encountered an instance where I need more than 3 stacks of potions, so you can easily put extra stacks on the mule character. I also don't bother keeping any of the stat-buffing potions on most of my 60's, so again you can move those around or sell them off...

but the things is, those bufs keep also coming back on a regualr basis in your bag, from praying and mobs.
i better don`t open profession stuf anymore, but those lootnodes or how they`re called can have lower ranked then 4 also, or am i mistaking.
like to open those also sometimes
thought i saw lower then lvl 4 in sharandar.
i`ll see, worth trying.
I get 3s and 4s in Sharandar. That's pretty much half a greater bag of holding right there.
I have multiple characters (single account), and I've bought a lot of bags (using astral diamonds, either converted or bags auctioned for below the conversion rate). The level 60s keep fairly clean bags because they don't have gear to level into or anything like that. The levelling characters share an empty large bag that gets mailed to whoever is seeing active play at the time. Lower level potions and enchants get consolidated into as few stacks as possible. My only real problem is storage of level 60 gear for characters that can't use it yet.

but need bagslots. already filled with the biggest bags.
dropping now everything below lvl3 in the guildbank only.
Slots: 64 | 48 | 16 | 24.
Cost efficiency: 1x | 2.5x | 10x | 11x.
Type: BoE | BoE | BoP | BoP.
Access: mail access | single access | single access | universal.
No idea about mail storage limits but it is worth noting that if your mailbox has a lot of mail, regardless of whether they have attachments, you cannot send mail to yourself of any kind, nor receive mail from others. You can only receive mail from the system/AH.
So, if you use alts, make sure to keep your mail super tidy!
Of course, the game has no bulk mail deletion tools...
having a hard time to figure out what exactly is junk ;p
because it might be usefull later.
Neverwinter has really helped me to curtail my packrat tendencies.

Thank you, this is helpful and ****, I never actually realised that un-attached mail could contribute towards it. I don't think I've ever deleted any AH notification mail for example and those rapidly stack up. That bit of info alone could save me alot of hassle.
Thanks again all, lots of helpful ***-bits here.
I would deem it junk if you can
A: Do nothing with it immediately
B: Only do something with it if you have to gamble it's worth repeatedly with an increasing chance that it will remove itself from existence.
so if you're talking about the enchants. Dump em... Unless your idea of fun is being a packrat and turning this game into a second job.
To combat storage problem for runes and enchants, I bought extra bank space on my main. (Any additional characters -may- have extra bank space bought, but that will simply be for any fashion items they may wish to collect, or for gear they are not yet able to use. All runes and enchants that these secondary characters are not currently using are forwarded to the main for merging into higher ranks.)
As you all know, each character starts with 16 slots in their personal bank, and for the princely sum of 600ZEN you can buy an additional 16 slots. What no-one has yet mentioned is that this has an upper limit - you can only expand your storage FIVE times before you are unable to purchase any more storage space, thus taking your Manycoins bank account from 16 slots up to a maximum of 96 slots, all for 3000ZEN.
Hope this info can be of benefit to someone.
Luck to you!
I find the blue bags more useful than expanding the bank space, because the chr. can just be perm. parked by a mailbox to view/send/grab things, vs. having to run back and forth from bank to mailbox etc. Also, the (purchased) bags can be mailed from chr. to chr. if you wanted to delete a chr. for some reason to make a new one.
In the end I went with the guild option, for now, and I'm very glad I did. It can be very costly as it's been pointed out prior to this is long term tab costs increasing. But I've bought 2 tabs and it's helped so much, especially with sorting everything between my characters within the guild. Downside is it restricts you to having chracters going in and out of guild potentially.
450k for 2 guild storage tabs. Money well spent I believe. One thing that would make this so much more convenient would be if you had more access to guild storage, kinda like the mail box issue with there being too few in too little areas.
