Summary
World of Warcrafthas finally fixed the Warband Bank a week after it was supposed to be added in theWar WithinPre-Expansion Update. After resolving a critical issue with the new feature,World of Warcraftplayers can now use the Warband Bank to easily transfer and store items across all of their characters.
Warbands is the name given to a collection of newalt-friendly features that arrived in theWorld of Warcraft: The War WithinPre-Patch. This umbrella covers quality-of-life improvements like account-wide reputations and achievement progress, improvements to the transmog collection process, and the Warband Bank – a shared storage area accessible by any character on an account. Unfortunately, a critical issue prevented the Warband Bank from working correctly as of the Pre-Patch on July 23, causingWorld of Warcraftto disable the feature for some time.
A week later, it seems likeWorld of Warcrafthas finally sorted out the problems with the Warband Bank. As of the weekly maintenance and reset on July 30, the Warband Bank has been reinstated, giving players access to the shared storage areas for use between their characters. Ideally, all the issues have been permanently resolved with the Warband Bank so fans won’t have to worry about losing access to the items they stash in it.
World of Warcraft Warband Bank Features
Players can access the Warband Bank from any banker NPC in the world by navigating to the new tab found in the interface window. Alternatively, fans can use the Warband Bank Distance Inhibitor spell to conjure an access portal for 10 minutes every two hours. ThisWorld of Warcraftability isn’t unlocked automatically, however; players will need to complete a short questline in Gadgetzan in order to learn it.
Each of the five 98-slot tabs of theWarband Bank inWorld of Warcraftmust be purchased individually, with each one costing more than the last. The first tab only costs 1000 gold, but buying all five will run players more than 3,000,000 gold in total. Luckily, this one-time purchase unlocks the tabs for their entire account.

Though the Warbands features have revolutionized how the game is played, there are still several bugs with the graphics, gameplay, and interface caused bytheWorld of Warcraft: The War WithinPre-Patch. Hopefully,World of Warcraftcan resolve these in short order as well.
