Bank/Inventory Space - Are You a Packrat?Follow

See, you guys have it easy. My main (and only played character) is on FV. Great, everything is tradeable, but only one toon to store stuff (i did recently inherit a second account, but that's still just two). I just destroyed about five bags of foraged stuff (doesnt help that my only allowable character on the server is a ranger hehe). I can't wait til 8 new bank spaces, and neither can most of the population of FV :)

I've farmed a lot of tradeskill compoments and several half finished quest stuff. Since then I've managed to finish up a number of the quests in the past month with one still outstanding (Shawl quest).

Some of the tradeskill stuff plus crapload of kaladim constitutionals and misty thicket picnics have been moved to a temporary mule. I figure a grand total of 200 stacks on my bazaar mule and another 200 on a temp mule.

Even with the 2 mules, I'm still fighting the bank space with several unknown no drop items that needs to be researched as it's probably more quests that I haven't figured out yet.

If I'm not pressed for space, I usualy leave the shared bank with just 2 empty 10 slots containers for transerring junk to bazaar mule.

I will be glad when PoR goes live then I can get some of my tradeskilled stuff back to my main and finish them off without having to constantly relog between main and mules.

To the person Batman sixtysix, the new expansion is just a tad over $3 per bank space for one character so it's cheap. In my case with main and 2 mules, the total cost would be a hair over $1 per slot.

I just spent most of the day cleaning out my bank and moving stuff to a mule... cuz i am out of space.... I cant wait to get more space to fill up LOL neither can a friend of mine. Our hubbys just laugh at us LOL....=o)

I one day autobanked an epic piece and it turned out i had no room left. It switched it back to my inventory, which was then full. So i had a full inventory and bank, so i cleared everything out (i mean cmon, i dont need that no-drop tooth for a shadowknight only newbiequest for whose deity is like bert, and is set in neriak (im a halfling warrior)). So now i have tons of breathing room, its just awesome to be able to not have my bank in my inventory.

Bank is full on most of 8 characters. I have to store stuff in inventory bags. I have at most two empty bags on a character to use for loot. Needless to say, I loot stuff that stacks or stuff that is very valuable.

In a way, lack of bankspace is SOE's fault. If they wouldn't have made thousands upon thousands of items in the game and require so many components for tradeskills, quests, and epic pieces, we wouldn't have this problem. Furthermore, when you need one toon just to sell your wares in in the bazaar, well I think that is just bazaar! We need a system where we can just deposit our items into an Ebay-like server and let people bid on them while we do our questing, killing, etc. This would save us from having to keep our PCs on throughout the night and during work hours.
There are more creative ways to handle our space needs, SOE, and I don't think another eight spaces is really going to do it. Ask everyone in six months if they have more space, and the answer will be the same as it is now.

By the way, you may want to start thinking about getting a search engine for our bank inventory.

I can sum up bank problems in one phrase : Breakdown in Communication


Anyone who is working on this quest has mastered the art of corpse rots in shadowrest. Also anyone who tinkers AAAAs also has to store more than thier fair share of crap. /salute to all questers and tradeskill nuts!!!

Next poll should be "How many people are going to buy the new expansion because for the 8 extra bank slots.
I am sure I will. LOL

I don't do tradeskills and all of mine are stuffed...in fact had to make alts just for slots. So saddd, such a packrat am I.

Well .. stated with the ongoing battle .. but that comes most due the life of of Hobbit. This whacky guy collects everything in his area, that might be somewhen somehow of use for him ... and due to that, he is baker, brewer, tailor, fisherman, and hell yes .. a bit of smith too, guess what he might collect all day long! Well honestly most of that stuff is just for baking and brewing ... Why has this race always to think of eating???

Well so as hobbits are, he also has stuffed some of his things in other bags (means that his kind elven friends store the one or other thing for him too ..) and so these bankstore is almost on their limit too ))

Space is always an issue, which is why I have all of my slots filled with the hightest capacity bags and/or boxes to give me more room. Its tight, but, its managable.
