<p>Excellent! Thank you.</p>

[Drumstix]

<p>Nice change. I also like the mount changes incoming.</p><p>Wish it could have happened years ago, still glad to see it finally happening.</p>

<p>Can we use this to get rid of the Station Cash displaying as currency?</p>

<p>FYI, and i submitted a /bug report on this.</p><p>The Currency window is allowing <em>all</em> items to be placed into it.</p>

It also has a side effect of <em>unattuning</em> all items that go into it.</p>

<p>I noticed the same thing--any item can be placed in it. /bugged in game.</p><p>Also, I tried splitting a stack of tinkerfest cogs to place in it. The stack is 161 items, I'm trying to pull off 61. It shows 61 on my cursor, but as soon as I place it in the currency window, all 161 goes into it. Splitting stacks coming out of the window works fine though. /bugged in game as well</p>

<p>What exactly are "currency items" in game? Is that stuff like the tokens for the city festivals and such?</p>

I imagine the City Tokens would be considered currency too.</p><p>Probably also Tinkerfest cogs, Erollisi Day things, Frostfell things, and of course world event currency (like the Florets of Growth from the current druid ring events).</p>

I imagine Moonlight tokens and monk pebbles will count as well.</p>

<p>What would be better would be a "magical purse" that would work such that the same currency tab would be shared between all toons on an account, and all currency added/removed would be common to all toons like a shared bank, else you've still got to keep all your basic stacks of currency in the shared bank and deposit/withdraw stuff as needed per toon.</p>

[Skeez1e]

<p>A GREAT feature!  I haven't finished dropping everything in and I love it already.</p>

[Jardon]

<p>Yes, could we please get this as a "SHARED" currency tab, so all characters on the account have access to all of the currency</p>

[Iskandar]

<p>/agree... it's a nice change, long awaited, but if it's restricted to one character I'll still be using the shared bank for my coin needs.</p>

[Wolphin]

<p>agreed, if it's just per character, I'll need to still leave them in my shared bank so I can use the tokens on multiple alts, this doesn't really do much good if it's not shared... cause you never know off hand how many of a certain token you may need, so rather then having to camp out and into the one with them all in their currency window, put them in the shared bank, log back into the character that needs them, i'll just leave them in the shared bank....</p><p>it was a good idea, but not thought all the way through....</p>

[Anastasie]

<p>I also noticed if it's in your currency tab you can't purchase items w/ it. I went to exchange bg tokens and I had to drag them back into my inventory to purchase the new tokens.</p>
