Gold has long served as the monetary means of trade in the world of Sanctuary. This precious metal is melted into small gold slugs that are flattened and stamped with the heraldry of the kingdom that created it. Regardless of shape and size, the amount of gold per coin is consistent throughout the realms.

Your character can carry 10,000 Gold Per Level, so a Level 10 Character can carry 100,000 Gold. The Maximum amount of gold that can be carried is 990,000 at level 99.

When in a party, Gold that is picked up is split among party members. When a party member picks up a stack of Gold, Gold is evenly divided among the members with any remainder going to the one who picks up the pile. Gold is only split when Party members are in the same map area or "zone" as shown on the Automap or party menu. You cannot turn Gold Splitting off. Keep this in mind when trying to exchange Gold between party members. To exchange Gold among party members without splitting the Gold use the Secured Trading Screen in town. Other options include leaving the party to pick up the Gold to avoid the split, then rejoin the party. You can also drop Gold in Town or an area, then make sure no one in the party is in the same area when the pile of Gold is picked up off the ground.

When you die, your character loses a percentage of the total Gold both carried and stored in the Stash. The percentage is equal to your character level -- but not to exceed 20%. After deducting the death penalty from the gold your character is carrying, the rest falls to the ground in a pile. If the penalty uses up the gold being carried, the remainder of the penalty is deducted from the Stash.

In Single Player the death penalty will not take away all your gold. No gold is taken from the Stash and 500 gold per character level is exempt from the death penalty. For example, if a level 10 Single Player character with 5,000 gold dies, no gold is lost.

Near your starting location in each of the four Acts you will find a large chest - your Private Stash. It is a secure, permanent, SAFE place to store precious items and gold you find along the way. Use your Stash to hold any items you intend to keep, but don't want taking up precious space in your Inventory. Items left on the ground or in town will disappear after a few minutes.

You are the only one who can access your Stash. Another character cannot look inside or access your stash for any reason.

The items in your stash are saved during the game, and when you exit the game. You only have to worry about losing items in your stash when you die on Hardcore mode.

Stash gold capacity is determined by player level only. If player level from 1 to 9 then can save 50,000, and level from 10 to 19 save 100,000 and so on.

A scroll of Town Portal opens a magical blue gateway from the wilderness to the nearest city. A Town Portal remains active until your character enters it from town and returns to the place where it was originally cast. Casting a Town Portal closes any Portals previously cast by the character.

Scrolls of Identify are used on unidentified magically enchanted items, helping you decide whether to equip or sell them. When you use an identify scroll, your cursor will change into a question mark. Move the cursor over an unidentified item and left-click to make the magical properties of the item appear in its description. Magic Items cannot be used until they have been identified.

When activated a scroll of Town Portal will open up a portal near your character. The portal is a gateway to the nearest safe stronghold, town, or city. Portals remain active until your character re-enters and returns to the place from which the portal was originally activated. Newly summoned portals will cancel out any previous portals created by your character.

The destination of the Town Portal is listed above it as well as the name of the player who opened the Town Portal.

Players that are hostile to you will be unable to use your Town Portal, nor may you use theirs.

[How to Using this?]
When fighting powerful bosses, unique monsters, and huge groups of monsters sometimes you die a lot. Have two party members both open a Town Portal. You may want to put the Town Portals a few screens apart. If monsters begin to camp or guard one Town Portal you can enter using the other one. Then party members can continue to use these Portals without recasting as long as the original Town Portal casters do not use their own Town Portal when returning from Town or create any new Town Portals. This method is very handy when you are low in Health Potions and need to return to town a lot to Heal, refill your Mana and buy more Healing Potions.

When using a Town Portal in Parties, remember to make sure everyone in your party has used your Town Portal to return to battle before using it. Otherwise you may close the Town Portal leaving someone in town, forcing you to open another one which will waste a Town Portal Scroll.

[Escape Portal]
When going through large areas between Way Points it's a good idea to open up an escape Town Portal. You can use it to retreat from danger or to get back to your body much faster if you die.

Town Portals are your best escape from other players who might try to kill you. If a player becomes Hostile, quickly use a Town Portal to escape to the safety of town if you wish to avoid player to player combat.

Tome of Town Portal  

Designed to hold volumes of similar spells, each tome can store up to 20 scrolls of the same type. Vendors who sell scrolls generally sell Tomes as well. Right-click on a Tome to cast one of the Scrolls stored within it. When a Tome is empty, it remains in your inventory until it is replenished with more Scrolls, sold, dropped, or traded.

 
Tome of Identify  

Add Scrolls to a Tome in your inventory by dropping the scroll directly on to the tome. Dropping one Tome onto another Tome consolidates them both into a single Tome.

The world of Sanctuary is huge and often there are great distances between towns and their outlying regions. During the Sin War, the Horadrim devised a system of magic Waypoints to provide instant travel from one place to another. The magics at work have long since been forgotten as the Horadric Magi have all but disappeared. However, these Waypoints remain as a legacy to the Horadrim's once-great power and the value of these devices cannot be denied.

Within every town and at various places throughout each Act you may find Waypoints. Click on them to bring up the Waypoint Menu, displaying a list of destinations.

The most important thing to remember about Waypoints is to always click on a new one when you see one. Once you have clicked on a Waypoint, you will be able to move to that Waypoint from any other Waypoint.

Waypoints do not always look the same and the Horadrim Magi were wily, making some of the Waypoints difficult to recognize. Many of the Waypoints blend well with their surroundings, so remember to check your Automap every so often, as Waypoints are easy to recognize on your Automap.

Party Members do not share Waypoints however a player can share a Waypoint with another player by traveling to a Waypoint location, then opening up a Town Portal. The person without the Waypoint location can now use this Town Portal to reach the undiscovered Waypoint, and can now activate it and add it to their Waypoint List.
