A major revamp of the banking system in World of Warcraft may be on the horizon, potentially arriving with Patch 11.2. While details remain unconfirmed, indications suggest that significant adjustments could soon enhance item storage for players. The introduction of the Warband Bank in the WoW expansion, The War Within, represents a pivotal step aimed at improving how items are stored. This feature allows players to unlock shared storage space across their entire account, accessible by any character.
This facilitates easier item trading among alts. Additionally, Blizzard has indicated plans to incorporate the user interface and functionalities of the Warband Bank into personal banking systems in the future. As fans eagerly anticipate the release of Patch 11.2, titled Ghosts of K’aresh, insights have emerged on potential banking improvements. Observations from the public test realm by Wowhead reveal evidence of new features under development.
A new achievement, Safer Deposit, which involves purchasing six bank tabs, has surfaced, evoking memories of a previously removed achievement associated with the Warband Bank. Furthermore, references to bank tab naming, automatic sorting, mass reagent deposits, and the conversion process have been discovered. Current banking in World of Warcraft is outdated, with players initially limited to 28 items per character, requiring the purchase of additional slots filled with inventory bags. The addition of a 98-slot Reagent Bank in Warlords of Draenor attempted to improve this.
The anticipated changes in Patch 11.2 may introduce six customizable tabs without the need for bags. It’s important to note that Void Storage, designed for long-term item storage, also remains relevant, accommodating 160 items per character with associated fees. As these bank system updates unfold, the impact on Void Storage and other existing features is yet to be clarified. Players may expect more information following the Patch 11.2 release on August 5.
