There are many interesting items to collect in A Dawn of Heroes. In order to store all your items and facilitate transfer between characters, you have access to a Persistent Vault System.
System #
Information about the vault system, mechanics.
- You find the option to summon your vault in your Player Menu or you can summon it via the
/vaultchat command. Additional commands are also available - When you ‘sell’ an item into the vault it will stack with existing items if, and only if, they are absolutely identical in appearance, name, properties, etc.
- Items stolen using the PickPocket skill can’t be stored until the stolen flag is removed.
- It can store most items (exceptions include: player corpses, some plot items, wings rune, etc).
- It is associated with your CD Key and can be loaded from any character you have inside your account. This is the encouraged way to transfer items between your characters.
- It saves constantly.. If an item makes it into your vault: it’s saved. If the server were to crash at that point upon re-login the item would still be there.
- Items in the vault will automatically be consumed while Crafting! No need to manually pull them out!
Interface #
Us ADOH players love items. We collect tons of items.
To make our lives easier, the player vault has some pretty advanced searching and paging abilities built right into it. Starting with the buttons and elements, here’s what you need to know:
- The search bar, and search button. Sitting on the bottom of the header, is the search bar and the search button. Typing text in here and hitting the button will perform filtering on all your vault contents based on what you put in. There are some advanced filters which will be mentioned below but by default it searches by name. When you press ‘search’, any items that don’t match your search criteria will be filtered out and the remaining items will be sorted by item type, and name.
- The prev. and next page buttons. Since you could have potentially thousands of different items, you may need to push these buttons to page through your contents. If you’re looking for something specific and having a hard time, consider taking a look at the filters below to help you narrow down your search more.
- The clear button. Clears the search bar, quite simple.
- The help button. Directs you to this wiki page, of course!
- The category buttons. These ones will pre-populate your search bar to filter based on category. These are analogous to the ‘tabs’ in a standard merchant store.
- The summary. At the top, you’ll find a brief summary showing all the items in your current page out of all the items found by your search criteria. By default, and without any search, the ‘found’ amount will equate to all the items that you have!
Opening Your Vault #
There are three ways to open your vault:
| Command / Search | What it does |
| /vault | Opens your vault showing all items. |
| /vault search “sword” | Opens your vault with “sword” already in the search box. |
| /vault last 10 | Opens your vault showing the 10 most recently added items. |
💡 Tip: You can also type directly into the search box inside the vault window at any time. Hit the search button (magnifying glass) or press Enter to apply your search.
The Last N Feature #
The vault tracks when each item was added (or last restocked). This lets you pull up your most recently deposited items quickly, handy after a crafting session or swapping gear between characters after a run.
You can use Last N in two ways:
- As a vault command: /vault last 10
- Directly in the vault search box by typing: last 10
- Combined with other search terms in the search box: sword last 5
- Or with any filter: category=0 OR category=1 crafted last 20
⚠️ Note: The last N must be at the end of your search query to function properly!
For example “sword last 5” will bring back the last 5 swords you put in the vault, but “last 5 sword” will fail and bring back no results!
Freezing the Display While Withdrawing #
When you use a Last N search and start taking items out, the list stays exactly as it was — items 11, 12, 13… won’t jump in to replace what you take. Only the items you’ve withdrawn will disappear as their quantity hits zero.
If you deposit an item while a Last N is active, the list refreshes immediately so the new item shows up. Hit the search button at any time to re-run your search from scratch.
⚠️ Note: Items that existed before 22/4/2026 will have a “time added” of zero and will sort to the bottom of any Last N result. Their timestamps will update naturally the next time they are deposited or restocked.
Searching Your Vault #
The search box supports powerful filtering. You can combine terms, use categories, item level restrictions, and more. Below is a full guide.
Basic Text Search #
Just type any word or phrase. The vault searches item names and base item types.
| Command / Search | What it does |
| sword | All items with “sword” in the name. |
| flaming | All items with “flaming” in the name. |
| “flaming sword” | Items containing the exact phrase “flaming sword” (with the space). |
| axe helmet | Items matching both “axe” AND “helmet” (space = AND). |
AND, OR, and NOT #
You can use logical operators to build more specific searches. Spaces and commas both count as AND — this means your existing searches still work exactly as before.
| Command / Search | What it does |
| sword OR axe | Items that are swords OR axes. |
| sword || axe | Same as above — || is shorthand for OR. |
| sword AND flaming | Items that are both swords AND flaming (same as “sword flaming”). |
| sword && flaming | Same as above — && is shorthand for AND. |
| sword, axe | Same as “sword AND axe” — comma means AND (backwards compatible). |
| !sword | Everything EXCEPT swords. |
| -sword | Same as !sword — dash also means NOT. |
| NOT sword | Same as !sword — NOT keyword also works. |
| +sword | Explicitly include swords (same as just typing “sword”). |
Parentheses #
Use parentheses to group search terms when combining AND and OR.
| Command / Search | What it does |
| (sword OR axe) AND flaming | A flaming sword or a flaming axe — but not a plain one. |
| crafted AND (sword OR dagger) | A crafted sword or a crafted dagger. |
| !(sword OR axe) | Nothing that is a sword or an axe. |
Filtering by Item Level Restriction (ILR) #
ILR is the level requirement on an item. Use the ilr token with a comparison operator to filter by it.
| Command / Search | What it does |
| ilr>10 | Items with ILR greater than 10. |
| ilr<5 | Items with ILR less than 5 (low-level gear). |
| ilr=15 | Items with exactly ILR 15. |
| ilr>10 sword | Swords with ILR greater than 10. |
| !ilr>20 | Items that do NOT have ILR greater than 20. |
Filtering by Category #
The category token lets you filter by the item’s store category. Common category IDs are listed below.
| Category ID | Item Type |
| category=0 | Armor |
| category=1 | Weapons |
| category=2 | Potions / Scrolls |
| category=3 | Jewelry / Wands / Magic staves |
| category=4 | Miscellaneous |
| Command / Search | What it does |
| category=0 | All armor. |
| category=1 | All weapons. |
| category=0 ilr>10 | Armor with ILR greater than 10. |
| category=3 !crafted | Jewelry and Wands that are NOT GTS crafted items |
