Are you neat & tidy or loose & sloppy?Follow

In game I mean! Do you keep your bank boxes and character bags organized or do you just let the drops fall where they may?

Personally I am almost compulsive about it. OK, so it's not really almost! I have all my bags and boxes labeled and organized by what I keep in them. Shared bank boxes are the worst! There is so much that can be shared among alts it seems like I am always looking for a better way to organize things.

Eh, I'm so-so. The first bag or box in my bank holds the stuff I might use daily, usually stuff for crafting. The rest of the boxes are just a mess. I really need to go through them and organize because I'm so sick of buying an advanced crafting book only to find I already had it in the bank, it was just buried in with a bunch of other crap.

I try to keep my stuff well organized. For example I have several bags of stuff to Transmute, divided between gear and spell books, sorted (mostly) by level, with empty slots between levels. Obtaining harvester bags helps, so I don't have to shuffle materials while oot and aboot. But I also have a bag full of random quest items, half of them grey level, half of them not even started.

At first I was like , but then I was like .

I'll let the picture speak for itself. This was after my recent mega bank purge when I switched to sumac boxes.

My hyper organization

Welcome to MMO hell!!!

Seriously, since you already have alt-itus, make a carpenter (for bank boxes) and a tailor (for bags).

Admitedly there are lots of other things these crafters can and will make for your toons but having access to cheap bags & boxes always pays off right freaking now!

Thanks, I think! ;) I usually end up re-organizing our guild bank all the time, too. Silly people don't know that red shiny collections go on the bottom two rows, common collections on the top two, L&L pieces should be ordered by race and descending by number of parts in there...



To rename a bag or strongbox, open it up, right-click and choose "Bag Options". Then toss whatever label you want on it! I just like making mine perty. :)

I'm closer to Cyl but without as much stuff (or the nice boxes).

My shared bank holds collectibles (first bag). As each alt goes through them and takes what she can use, she moves the gray stuff up toward the top. After all alts have been through them, the alt who originally dumped the stuff in gets to put the leftovers on the broker.

Second box holds L&L stuff, same deal.

Third box holds treasured items that were too good to vendor or transmute immediately. After everyone has had a chance to pick over them, they get 'muted.

Fourth box holds advanced pages. When an alt gets high enough in that trade to use it (or to see that it's redundant), she puts any leftovers on the broker.

Fifth box, spell books.

Sixth box, shared (mostly holiday) trade goods.

Seventh box, stuff my alts made for each other (so sweet!).

The remaining space is mostly spillover from 3-5, because I haven't gotten around to getting bigger boxes.

They're also a dumping ground for when I'm in a hurry, but I try to keep them fairly sorted.
