A '''Stash''' is a Chest or Storing Place where a player can store items and gold. It is an Important function in the Diablo Franchise, since Item collecting is a big part of the game.
[[Jay Wilson]] confirmed at BlizzCon 2008 that we will see stashes in Diablo III [http://www.diii.net/blog/comments/blizzcon-press-conference-with-jay-wilson/]. In a recent interview [http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/jay-wilson-interview-pcgames.de/], Jay has revealed that the stash starts out small, but can be upgraded by the player (for an unknown cost), which ends up being huge, around 2/3's two-thirds of the screen. The [[D3 Team]] has confirmed that there will be some way to transfer items between characters on the same account. This may or may not be done via a shared stash.
===July 2010 Update===
The system remained undeveloped nearly two years later, as Bashiok explained in a forum post in July 2010. [http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/shared-stash-still-just-a-dream/]
::"No update, it’s something we hope to do, it’s not designed or in any sort of implementation phase so until we reach that point and either hit a revelation of it working or not we won’t know for sure. But yes, still hope to have some sort of easy way to share between characters. “Drop games are dumb.” - Bashiok"
===August 2010===
Jay Wilson spoke again about the shared stash at Gamescom in August, 2010. [http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/jay-wilson-interview-g4tv/]
::Including a shared stash in Diablo III is, I think, everyone’s first choice. A shared stash is very easy to deal with for the player, and having it in the game creates a nice common area where characters can gather in a game. It does create a few problems, though. For one thing, it really encourages players to [[mule]] items on multiple characters. Which may just be something we have to deal with. Players who like to mule really like doing it. We kind of feel, well, we wish you didn’t have to mule. We wish there was a better way to store away spare items.
