Deposit gold in my bank

Community General Discussion
1
I would like to save a few gold in there every now and then so it builds up for later use.
Is there a way to do this? I can shift click the gold on my bag but I can't place it in my bank.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask.
Thanks

Make an alt that you run next to mailbox. Everytime you want to set some gold aside, just mail it to your banker alt.
Banker alts are also commonly used for handling sales of your drops so that your playing character can keep their bags emptier. Just send all sellable drops to him and let him handle auctions. That way there's no need to travel to city just for selling/buying at ah.

Thank you both very much. It is strange that you can't put your gold in your own bank!
Great ideas, though. I will see about making my own guild and having a banker.

What's the point though? I can only see the point if you've reached the gold cap of 1 million.

Just like real life money spending. If you see it there in your hands you're more tempted to spend it. But if it's in a savings account, you have to mess about getting it transferred first.

I just wanted to slowly build up enough gold for a fast flying mount(among other things) and have that gold separated from the gold in my bags.

I agree with Dóser. I'm never tempted to spend the money I've stored away for saving.
It's not important, though. I just assumed I could put gold in my bank.

I have often wondered why you can't do this.

There are actually addons that do that!

Actually spending the gold right away is smarter than saving it in this game. The inflation is so rampant that if you leave the game and come back 6 months later the gold will be half as much worth.

There are no savings accounts here though. The closest would be investing in assets, which is much smarter than sitting on the gold. Buy stuff that there is a limited amount of, and therefore will have a value that increases at the same rate or faster than the inflation, and that you can resell later easily. E.g. Haunted Memento or Tyrael's Hilt.

Must admit, it would rock to have a bank for money, which would work with the same policy as guild bank perk which saves a bit of all looted money.

This would be optional ofcourse.

You set the % of the looted money which would be deposited to your bank and it would be available the next day or something.

This would help people like me to save up some money :P

The only way to put gold somewhere else then your bag, is a guildbank. If you have your own guild (so not shared with anybody else), you could use that like a "real" bank, and they won't even lose it on bad investments ;)

No other way than the guildbank though. And you can use any guildbank, but if there are other members they would also have access to your gold, so a personal guild is the safest.

Have fun!
