How about a crafting bank just for items for a single craft?

Windshadow_ESO · June 2014

I am thinking of a series of special banks that could be bought that could only hold items for a single craft they could start at 100 slots for say 5000g

This way you could have an enchanting bank just for materials and enchants for that craft.

The banks for clothing and black smithing might need to start at a larger number than the ones for woodcraft and alchemy
And the cooking one might need to be largest of all but such a system would ease many of the problems with the creation side of crafting.

The need to keep blue and better items for research and deconstruction as well as the need for materials storage is a problem for players that are leveling and if you want to level more than one or two in a structured manner even building your bank to say 100 slots which is about all you could hope for by say level 30 you will not have the needed storage... Creating 7 bank alts is the only workaround but since you can not mail items between your toons it becomes a logistical mess that takes up more than 25% of my very limited play time to juggle my mats and drops between all the alts and the account bank

A system of extra crafting banks for the account would simplify this logistical mess

Any thoughts if this might be feasible ?

You are not the first person to make such a suggestion and I'm afraid you probably won't be the last. Those requests to make guild or character banks more useful and sortable have been around since beta.

I'm sure that on Dev member's white board they have this requested listed under the things "nice to do", but that probably is below player housing, Auction House, and new weapons like crossbows and pikes.

And at some point I'm sure they will implement changes. But I wouldn't hold my breath for it for too long.

*if* they were going to do something like this, i'd argue they should simply make a "mat bin" in the bank.

Your bank would effectively have a slot in it especially reserved for a particular mat. With a rediculously large (max int size) "stack" limit. Any of said mat put into the bank automatically goes into that bin. That "slot" can't be used for ANYTHING else. It is that mat, and that mat only. And, of course, it would make it easier to see how many of any particular mat you have on hand.

Then they should probably reduce the default bank size to 30 or so. (mat bins not included)

There's an addon calleed Advanced filters that creates tabs in you bank and inv for every type of mats/profession.
