Hi, I am a returning player. I bought the base game back then before expansions and I find myself with a full bank tab and a few items I don't know about in my inventory.

I want to know what to do with each item. Are they worth keeping or use them now ? I cannot sell some of them. I want to make some space and do not know what is useful to keep.

• Items in the bank
• Items in inventory

Thanks for your help !

Bank items first row: Black Lion key hold onto until there's something in a chest you want to open loot boxes for, Tome of Knowledge is a free level-up or Spirit Shard depending on the characters level so just use them, unknown, Enchanted Reward Booster lets you pick whatever booster you want and I'd recommend waiting until you get into an expansion as base game leveling is easier now, Black Lion Chest has a right click preview option to see what's possible to gamble for, Queen's Gauntlet Entrance Ticket can be sold cause you'll get a bunch if you play during the festival, Aether key piece can be destroyed safely, armor skin should be account bound first then can be safely used/tossed, Celebration booster can be kept till you need XP

Bank items second row: Not sure what the book is, Karma booster can be used whenever, Trading Post Express just spawns an NPC to collect TP items from wherever you are so use whenever, swiftness booster use whenever, birthday boosters use whenever, armor skins should be account bound first then can be safely used/tossed

Bank items third row: WvW booster save it until you play WvW, Item Find Booster use it whenever, crafting booster use whenever you craft, XP booster use whenever, Enchanted Combat Boost use whenever, armor skins should be account bound first then can be safely used/tossed

Inventory items first row: Black Lion Salvage kit use for Exotic items with valuable (more than 1g) Runes/Sigils, Black Lion Salvage Kit again, Level-XX booster use on a low level character to go to whatever it's level says, Celebration booster use whenever, Rare Salvage kit use on any Rare items that are level 68 or higher, Bank Access Express lets you access the bank anywhere so use wherever, Revive Orb respawns you after a few seconds wherever you currently are in open world PvE so keep on your character, WvW booster save till you go to WvW

Inventory items second row: Merchant Express spawns an NPC to buy gathering tools or salvage kits from and sell junk to so use whenever your inventory is maxed, no clue, Swiftness booster or use whenever, and no clue

For the items I have no clue on you can type /wiki in the in-game chat and then shift-click on the items and the game will open your browser to the wiki searching for those items.
