→Shared Stash: added "were" to indicate past tense, removed an extraneous period
The reason for the development team adding in a shared stash is to prevent characters from [[mule|muling]] in drop games, where the [[battle.net]] servers may drop a player from a game, items may disappear, or a host of other issues. Put simply, it was not at all convenient or safe to trade items between characters on an account. Hence, the shared stash.
The stash is natively "unlocked" for the player. It doesn't have to be unlocked via a [[quest]] like the [[Cauldron of Jordan]] or the [[Nephalem Cube]]were. It is available as soon as the player enters [[New Tristram]].
===Upgrading the Stash===
===Hardcore Death & The Stash===
Hardcore characters do not have access to nor can trade with any softcore characters on the same account. If a Hardcore character dies any items they have placed in the shared stash will not be lost. All items on their person and inventory will however be lost with the character when it dies. <ref>[http://blues.incgamers.com/Posts/11/1/45/850/124329/hardcore-and-stash#postId_324360 Hardcore and stash] - Blizzard, 19/10/11</ref>.
