Thanks for once again tuning in to this COI Production! Today I’d like to address the issue of /gasp Bank space! If you’re like me you’re constantly having to evaluate items to decide which you can keep, and which you should vendor, or AH, or delete, or d/e or give to the guild, or…. JUST so that you can free up a little space in your bags and your bank! This can be a real pain whether you’re trying to work on your profession, or you just can’t force yourself to finally get rid of that REALLY COOL piece of armor you’ve outleveled. If you’ve never experienced this problem, you’re either VERY good with managing your items, or you just throw away WAY too much stuff
Here are two very simple things to remember:
- Each character you create gets a free bank, even at level 1.
- The mailbox is your friend!
One of the easiest things to do is to make one or two level 1 characters, run them from the start point to the capitol city, and park them by the mailbox outside the bank. I would recommend for us Allies to use a Human character, because you can easily run to SW and have full access to IF without having to pay to fly or run through a cave full of nasty baddies. Since IF is one of the big hubs of trade activity, this may serve you well later on. This way you can mail things from your main to these bank toons, and have them store the items in your newly acquired bank! As you make more money, you can also fill this character up with some 14/16 slot bags for extra space!
The great thing about the mailbox, is that it holds tons of items for you for up to 30 days! When your bags are getting filled with items you want to take to the auction house, or mats you need for your profession, just mail the items to one of your characters and leave them in the mailbox until you have enough space to take them out
With this method, you just have to be certain that you check your mailbox often and don’t let any mail expire, because then it’s lost!!

Cool post man. You can also keep your eyes out on the trade channels for people selling guilds for cheep. The nice things about this is you might end up getting a guild WITH a single guild bank tab for around 40 gold. This gives you a lot of extra bank space for a little price.
I think I know someone who did this recently

I would also recommend if you are a gatherer profession to get a bag for your gathering materials. If you are a miner, get the Mining Sack or the Reinforced Mining Bag. The advantage of these bags is they give you a lot more room for the money, plus they force you into using your bag space wisely without sacrificing your valuable ore which is tempting when that world blue drops and you just gotta save it.
Each gathering profession has corresponding bags for the mats so you have lots of options.
