Bank/storage space

[darxar]

is there a way to either put something in your house so you can store stuff, or make the bank bigger.im a pack rat and dont like to toss nice stuff, since its been attuned i cant seem to sell it, the vendors dont even want it.. lolfor some reason attuned items carry my BO  <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> lol   anyway, i picked up a few skills that i cant use for a few levels, and i dont want to carry them around, my packs fill up with all the gathering and such.  just looking for a way to move stuff off to give me more storage while im out questing/farming.

<p>You can purchase sales crates and strong boxes on the broker that you can place in your vault.  That will greatly increase your storage capacity.</p><p>You can do the same at the bank.</p>

omg, is that your house?  i have a wooden floor, a sales board, a picture, a monkey, and a table and.. .. well, nothing like that.  kewl, my room kind of depresses me, but i go back every so often to feed the monkey.  lolthanks for the tips.  not sure if I will ever get those large boxes, im using some of the early quest bags i got that have fewer slots than what i have on me, and that gives me extra space for now.  i wish you could just drop armor in a rack that sits in your room like a display case, and it show the actual items in the case.    just a thought.anyway.. thanks for the help.

It might take a bit longer to get it done that way than straight buying it from the broker, but you can save some money by taking the extra time.</p>

Those mannequins are not cheap, but I'd saved and collected robes since the launch of the game in the hope that I could one day display them!When you have a little spare money have a search for house items under a certain cost, you know you can preview most items by hoveing over the icon and holding down CONTROL, then clicking to ppen the dressing room - this works for weapons and armour as well as house items.Also if you do get into your house there are many carpenters who do it just for the love of houses, e.g. they don't really make much money and often have lots of house items stored away that they would bo only too happy to see put to use.

<span style="font-size: medium;color: #993300;font-family: comic sans ms,sand;">Retro_guy, how did you get the containers so small? Ah can either have all the bank slots open at once or personal inventory, but have trouble when it comes to moving things between the two</span>

<p>Retro_Guy you must have a MASSIVE monitor to handle that resolution...</p><p> I am totally jealous.</p><p>also of mention, there are several UI mods that make your bags take up less room.  They can get rid of the pesky spaces between the boxes and whatnot for a more compact look.</p>

[Donilla]

<p>Can't remember if it's my UI mod, or just an option, but I was able to set my font size, the size of bags (it was a slider bar), and control the amount of space between the slots (I set mine to 0). That goes a long way towards reducing the overall size of containers.</p><p>If the OP is on Antonia Bayle, my carpenter, Danda, would be happy to make boxes for the fuel costs. The biggest she can make atm is Teak, so not as big as the ones in the screen shot, but much bigger then the beginner ones.</p><p>After filling the bank and house vault spaces, you can also store stuff on the broker. Just keep the for sell option set to 'No'. You can even mix it up a bit, sell some stuff and not some.</p>
