Bank discrepancies.

Sakiri

You know, I was just thinking about this after a friend mentioned something and I got reminded.

It annoyed me then and it annoys me now.

Ebonheart Pact is my main faction. We get banks in:

Stonefalls - Davon's Watch
Deshaan - Mournhold
Shadowfen - Stormhold
Eastmarch - Windhelm
The Rift - Riften

Ebonheart, Kragenmoor, Narsis, Tal'Deic fortress, Fort Amol, Shor's Stone. Few places elsewhere could hold a bank.

Then I log into my alts and notice for Aldmeri Dominion:

Auridon - Vulkhel Guard, Skywatch
Grahtwood - Haven, Elden Root
Greenshade- Marbruk
Malabal Tor - Velyn Harbor

Not sure if there's a second one in Malabal Tor or not because I haven't finished the zone. Haven't started Reaper's March yet.

Glenumbra only has the one in Daggerfall that I'm recalling.. and I haven't gotten any further to see what else is there.

What's with the number of banks discrepancy?

I'm actually happy there's two in Grahtwood because Elden Root is a laggy pile of wood for me, but still.. the discrepancy is just.. wow.

Probably thinking too much into it. It's stupidly convenient however.

It's not only the banks. The trunks? The lootable containers? The good looking Harborage?

Rawl'kha has a bank in Reapers.

DC only gets one bank per zone same as EP. So at the end of the day you're only looking at two zones in the whole game with multiple banks. I fail to see the huge problem.

The Covenant has by far the most lootable containers. Nearly finished as my third faction and I'm getting so much "phat loot". It feels there is a fair discrepancy.

I'm in EP and I bank in Bal Foyen

Fleymark

DC, however, gets 2 newbie islands, one of which has a wayshrine steps from a banker. Along with every crafting tool nearby.

Betnihk is the bomb IMO.

The thing that frustrates me is that Ebonheart has the Dye station, while Davon's Watch has the bank. The other two factions have towns with every function in one city. Stonefalls is just the worst.

I started in EP and then did some AD toons and just recently went back to another new EP toon, got to Dhalmora and wondered why I never remembered that darn mudhut has bank and crafting all in one building! Here I thought Riften was the best, pfft I've parked all I can in that location when not in use

Edit: for @wlemons_ESO Dhalmora has that in the same building as well,

There is a AD banker in Khenarthi's Roost, but he lacks access to the Guild Store. It's almost as annoying as the missing bank in Ebonheart for EP.

You have issues with elden root in grahtwood too? thought it was just me. my frames drop from 60 to like 10 when I'm there. Even when I lower my graphics to minimum, it's ridiculous.

So go to Bal Foyen...all in one building, except cooking fire one building over. Bank and all crafting stations in one building

I agree - I craft stuff with one character then put it in the bank for my EP character in Davon's Watch to retrieve and equip. That character cannot then dye the armor in Davon's Watch, they have to go to Ebonheart or Dhalmora (and yes I know it could be dyed by my character who crafted it, but you need to see how it looks on the character who is going to be wearing it IMO).

Also the majority of the guild traders for the zone are in Ebonheart, where there is no bank. It makes no sense. Ebonheart needs a bank, OR Davon's Watch needs a dye station and a pack of guild traders.

Good job that Dhalmora is a nice enough place to hang out, but it does seem odd that a small Argonian village in Bal Foyen is better equipped in terms of services than any single city in Stonefalls.

I searched for topics like this because I thought I was crazy not seeing a bank since Davons Watch. I just logged off as I received the quest to head to Mournhold, so thank goodness there is another bank . Just seemed weird even entering the second zone I had to backtrack to bank. This is my VR so I was spoiled by the constant AD banks and miss them dearly. I never paid that much attention in the starter area, I guess it will be my new bank
