Talk:Shared Bank- How to please

Hi new to the online game (1st&2nd Ed Pnp) formally; WOW tired/bored. I purchased the VIP but I can not seem to figure out how to use the shared bank. Can you guys please type me up a "how to for dummies" ?

My $0.02

Also I created a pally & a fighter to start with (game says solo is best), but when I made a rogue I have actually gone further in the game faster by focusing on disarming traps & such (no death assasin crap). I find that to be misleading since rogue is labeled a "challenging" class to solo, granted I have a bag full of lvl 1 dryad hirelings still...

Thanks for the help! 71.39.178.174 10:28, December 9, 2011 (EST)


 * Not much we can do about the in-game descriptions; however, you may find that at later levels, a rogue may be kind of... squishy. Hirelings will certainly help, however.  I'm not sure when hirelings were implemented, but the "solo ability" bits may have been done either before that, or assumed to be without using them.  It is nice to not have to worry about traps, however!

To use the shared bank: Simply go to a banker (You'll need to go through Korthos & Korthos Island, complete Misery's Peak, and get to Stormreach - if you're impatient, you can talk to one of the women at the dock and 'Skip the Korthos Storyline'; don't worry, you can come back!) and use him. Two windows will pop up, your character bank (it'll be a smallish square with a tab, similar to a backpack tab) and the shared bank (a larger window with a black background, no tabs... but there's a place to put money at the top). Anything you put into the shared bank can be removed by any other character on your account on that server, whereas the character bank is character-only. Bound-to-character (BTC) items, such as the Korthos rewards, cannot be put into the shared bank; however, bound-to-account (BTA) items, which I'm sure you'll come across soon, can. In fact, that's the ONLY way to share BTA items. Unbound items (pretty much everything you loot), of course, can also be put in.

Welcome to DDO, and I hope you have fun! LrdSlvrhnd 15:50, December 9, 2011 (EST)
