Summary
When logging intoWorld of WarcraftafterThe War WithinPre-Patch, players will have to complete a short quest to get the Warband Bank Distance Inhibitor, allowing them to access their Warband Bank anywhere in the world. While the base Warband Bank is available right away,World of Warcraftfans will have to unlock this useful spell, and ensure they have gold to buy the tabs of this special storage area.
The Warband Bank is one of the new features added as a part of the alt-friendlyWarbands system inWorld of Warcraft: The War Within. This account-wide bank allows players to store non-soulbound items from any character within it, allowing them to quickly and easily share items between their alts.
However, one feature of the Warband Bank isn’t unlocked automatically. The Warband Bank Distance Inhibitor is a special account-wide spell that lets players summon a portal to access their Warband Bank for 10 minutes on a two-hour cooldown per character. Fans canunlock this usefulWorld of Warcraftfeature via a short questlinebeginning with Warbands: Warbanding Together – a quest that should be automatically accepted upon logging in. A quick trip to Gadgetzan in Tanaris will allow players to finish this questline and unlock the Warband Bank Distance Inhibitor for their entire account.
