Understanding the Guild Bank

The guild bank system may well be simple to us Dambusters who have been around long enough to have figured it out but there are plenty of people around who shy away from the guild bank and subsequently they don’t fully understand the way it works. In addition, there are people in the guild who may have worked with other guilds who’s bank system is very differently composed to the way ours operates. Furthermore, there are people in this guild who have no experience whatsoever about using a guild bank service such as the one we manage here in the Dambusters.

Although I have posted guild bank info in the past that is relevant today just as it was when I published it, time has passed by so a good update of the guild’s operation partnership with our bank system is warranted at this stage.

The guild bank is a series of ‘tabs’ which are categorised into classes of usable items that may be helpful to individuals around the guild. I have meticulously specified an allotted allowance that each ranked character may access on a daily basis per bank tab. ‘Grand Slam’ tab is the top tab in the display when you open the guild bank in any major hub in Azeroth which has a guild bank in. That top tab, or first tab in the Dambusters is used for our members to be able to donate to the guild as they see fit. Your guild will accept anything from expensive enchanting materials, rare and very valuable battle pets you may wish to give to your fellow guildies or even down to the crap you collect on low level zones that may be worth a few copper only. Never be ashamed about what you are willing to donate to the guild….

Bat guano? We don’t mind, Sha touched leather? Great! We have hard working bank managing officers who love to use all those goodies to the advantage of the guild. If it’s only scrap worth a few silver then it’s a few silver the bank manager will get from selling to a vendor and put back into the guild’s pot of gold. If it’s something that could be valuable at the auction house, our guild bank management will try to get a fair price and deposit the cut into the guild bank.

If you put valuable trade goods, glyphs or recipes in there, they will find the right category tab to place it in and it’s there for you or any other guild member with the right bank tab access to grab later if it’s something you feel you need.

The tabs are named after 617 ‘Dambusters’ Squadron associated names. ‘Gibson’ tab is named after the inaugural Officer Commanding, Wing Commander Guy Gibson (HERO) and that tab at the bottom slot in the guild bank is reserved for high value raiding consumables. If you are involved with organised raiding within the guild then you will eventually have access to this tab.

All guild members have a repair allowance depending on your rank within the guild. Your character’s level of rank will determine your daily repair amount and I recommend everyone uses that daily allowance because I set the amounts based on our weekly cash flow budget so regular repair costs will allow us to regulate the repair allowance we can offer to our members.

I would like to thank Shethehunter, Pocadøts and Sîdney for their continued hard work in the guild bank. These guys get very little reward for their immensely responsible and trusted position within the guild. They do it for the love of the guild, and their need to tidy stuff 🙂
Please dish out your respect to these guys in particular for if it weren’t for them, old socks Bigticket would have to do it, and very badly I might add 😛
