Guide to Banking

Description
Throughout your travels in Norrath you will acquire many valuable artifacts and treasures. The bank is a place where you can store these valuables.

The System
Your characters bank account has 12 slots for item storage as well as an additional 8 slots in a "shared bank" which can be used to transfer any item not flagged No-Trade to other characters on the same account and server. You can place bags or boxes to increase your available storage space.

There are currently no Free-To-Play account restrictions for personal bank account.

The alignment of your character matters to bankers in Norrath. Good characters can not use banks in Evil cities and Evil characters can not use banks in good cities. The bankers will refuse to even speak to you.

The shared bank slots are the only possible way to transfer items labeled as Heirloom once the initial 48 hour trade window has expired (for more details please read the Heirloom article). To transfer a heirloom item to another character, that character must be on the same account and server as character who owns the heirloom item. To transfer a heirloom item to another character you must put it into a shared bank slot (or a bag in a shared bank slot) then log onto the character you want to give the item too. Again, that character must be on the same account and server.

Useful Tips

 * For players starting out without much coin, the 46 slot bags are usually a bargain for storage space. Check prices on your local brokers but the thick bear hide backpack can be a great bargain and are only 2 slots less than the largest craftable storage containers.

Guild Bank
To access your guild bank you simply right click on a banker and select Guild Bank. There are many caveats to how a guild bank works and varying levels of access and restrictions placed upon your character depending upon their rank within the guild and the settings the guild leader has placed on the account.
