Bank

“	I see that you have not come to pray. Very well. I can keep your belongings safe in my vault, and give you vouchers that will let you collect them again in distant cities.	”
	- Banker

The bank (or banker) is an NPC that offers secure item storage.

Organization

Items in your bank are arranged in categories of gold, resources, contracts/deeds, and armor/weaponry. Inside these categories, the items are arranged in reverse-alphabetical order. A bank may hold a capacity of 650 units. A player may not have the bank or vault window opened while trading with another character, and initiating a trade while a player has a bank open will result in an error message.

Location

Bankers can only be found in churches, cathedrals or other religious buildings in player-created cities, but are most often seen very near the bind point of game-cities. For example, the Aeldereth banker stands next to the Tree of Life.

Usage Fee

In player-created cities, the owner of a banker may charge a fee for the usage of the bank. This is an effective way of having members of a guild help with the upkeep of their city without giving them special access to a building. The fee is charged directly to the gold stored in your bank.

Vault Keeper

“	Tired of giving your valuables over to corrupt Bankers? My vault's safe as any Church, but the service here's even better: I'll release your goods to all your kin, letting you share your wealth among all your characters! What do you say?	”
	- Vault Keeper

A Vault Keeper is a type of banker found only in Sea Dog's Rest that is accessible by every character in one account. While normal banks only allow a character to deposit or withdraw items from their own respective bank, a vault does not hold this restriction. There is only one Vault Keeper, and she is always located in Sea Dog's Rest. A vault may hold a capacity of 650 units.
