In World of Warcraft: The War Within you need a lot of gold. Otherwise you will hardly be able to use any of the features.
Gold is an important thing in World of Warcraft. You need it for almost everything in the game. From the occasional purchase at the auction house to the repair costs that arise when visiting dungeons and raids or as payment for craftsmen who produce particularly fancy equipment.
For many players, gold is a rare commodity and has to be earned hard. It might be a bit surprising that you need a lot of it in The War Within if you want to fully use a new feature:
You need a whopping 3,126,000 gold to be able to fully use the War Pack Bank.
What kind of bank is this? The Warband Bank is a new, cross-character bank that your entire account can access. The bench can be used for both crafting and transferring items from one character to another. Gone are the days when you have to send items back and forth via in-game letters.
How much do the bank lockers cost? The prices for unlocking the War Pack Bank start out fairly moderate, but then rise quickly. While the first slot only costs 1,000 gold pieces – which anyone can farm within a few minutes – the last slot costs several million gold pieces. The costs for the bank lockers are as follows:
Please note that this is information from The War Within alpha. The prices could change until the expansion is released.
How much space does the bench offer? The War Pack Bank offers 98 slots per slot, so if all five slots are unlocked, that’s a whopping 490 additional inventory slots that you can use for unbound and account-bound items, such as crafting materials and equipment.
Do you really have to unlock everything? No. A complete purchase of all bank spaces for the war pack is not necessary. For many players, two or three compartments should be completely sufficient to be able to transfer most items between characters or to share crafting materials.
Only those who really want to store a lot of items will actually need all the bank compartments.
Many players didn’t notice another change in WoW.
