should have made a poll.

Banker is worth a lot more than the merchant IMO. Even tho you can ONLY access your bank it's still pretty good. Saves you a lot of time. The merchant can't repair gear so having a portable shop for only selling isn't comparable with the banker IMO.

I find it very handy, can also put it in your home. Summon in dungeons or trails etc. If you left something in the bank that you need.

YES YES YES

Yes, probably more so than the Merchant. But I decon everything, only Vendor the Ornates

Agree that the banker is far more worth it than merchant (particularly w/ housing). There's no shortage of merchants in the world but always only one bank in a city and usually a ways away from wayshrine.

Neither is worth spending additional money, but a good investment to spend ESO+ crowns. Their usefulness declines as bank and bag space increases. Plus members are about to double bank space, further diminishing the value of these assistants. But I'm the type to squeeze a nickel so hard, if they still had buffalo on them, the buffalo would crap. I don't regret spending Plus crowns on both of them.

Is the Banker account wide? Or just the character?

Both are account wide.

Also, for houses you have to actually place them like a piece of furniture and then you or anybody there can interact w/ them. It does use up one collectables slot though which are limited in housing.

I never really looked at that way. I think I am going to roll an Argonian for just this purpose

I hadn't thought about that either, but since my main is an Argonian I really do have to get him now!

Should have an all in one NPC that can repair, until then I'll save my cash

I'm happy with the banker. It actually let's my char carry less because I know that spare stuff is only a fingertip away. I don't care about guild banks so that is not a drawback for me. It is pretty convenient for a brand new character in the tutorial to give them an appropriate weapon at level one instead of having to start with a 2H sword.

I don't have the merchant and am not sure I will get her. Can't repair stuff is a huge turn off. Even a local bartender can repair stuff! Also, as mentioned above, most of what I pick up either goes in the ESO+ craftibag or is for decon. So a merchant alone doesn't really clear out my inventory very much. One reason I might get the merchant is that my character is a healer - a support character and she view that support as extending to providing a banker and possibly a merchant for those who may be grouped with her.

I adore my banker. I have 2 accounts. My main account and my secondary account for when I feel like playing with no pressure to keep up with writs/motifs/CPs/everything else. My main has the banker and merchant. My 2nd account doesn't. I can't tell you how badly I miss those two (mostly the banker) when out questing. I got so used to calling up my banker or merchant after filling my bags (which on my main are maxed) that when I play on my 2nd account, I'm constantly interrupting gameplay (which is a real imposition/irritation) to find a wayshire to travel to a city with a banker or trying to find a traveling merchant while questing in the middle of nowhere.

I paid full price at the time for both. I still to this day consider it one of the best purchases I've made in the crown store.

The amount of saved time the banker has given me is worth so much more than they charged for the banker. Best purchase I have made with crowns.

Not for me. 99% of my visits to the bank are to sell stuff, and the banker assistant doesn't give access to guild store.

^^^ Is the only thing stopping me from buying one for my second(Trading) account.

you can put everything in you bank instantly after finishing all writs.
saves so much time

Yeah that's what I do and if i'm out in the middle of no where and need to repair or use lockpicks, Banker it is

Best thing you buy from the crown store followed by the merchant.
