Reagent Bank
One account-wide materials stash that follows every character on the account, with search, crafting plans, restock lists, and an Auction House shopping list.
Status: LIVE — the account-wide reagent bank and its client UI are enabled. Disabled: sharing between accounts.
At a glance
- Account-wide: every character on the same account sees the same reagent bank.
- No banker required: open it from anywhere with
/rbank. - No item-count cap: the bank is limited by storage, not by a per-account slot count.
- Supports trade goods and gems. Unique items cannot be stored.
- Auto-deposit can move eligible reagents out of your bags automatically.
- Search works by name or item ID, and includes stored items that are not on the current page.
- Three layouts: Classic, ElvUI, and Modern.
- Sharing: Disabled. You cannot open another player’s reagent bank.
How to use
- Type
/rbankto open the bank./reagentbankand/rbankuido the same thing. - Use Deposit All Reagents to move eligible trade goods and gems from your bags. You can also deposit individual stacks.
- Use the category rail or search to find a material. Search accepts two or more characters of an item name or an exact numeric item ID.
- Click a stack to withdraw it, or use the stack controls to withdraw a partial amount.
- Turn on auto-deposit if you want eligible reagents to leave your bags automatically. Turn it off when you are carrying materials for a quest or a trade.
- Use
/rbank plan <count>to check what you need for a recipe or a batch. Use/rbank craft <count>to see what you can craft from current stock. - Use
/rbank lowstock <count>to list materials below a threshold, then/rbank ahlistto build a shopping list.
The bank is not a guild bank. It is personal to the account, not to a character or a guild.

Tips
- Search before you buy. Account-wide storage means an alt may already have the ore, cloth, or dust you need.
- Use
planandcrafttogether.plantells you what a batch needs;crafttells you what you can already make. - Keep auto-deposit off while questing in crafting zones. Some quests expect materials to remain in your bags.
- Use the Modern layout if you scroll a lot. It prefetches the next page and keeps a persistent category rail.
- The 15-row page is deliberate. The client UI expects 15 visible rows. Do not ask staff to raise it; use search instead.
/rbank undois for immediate mistakes. It is not a full transaction history.- Gems are supported, but unique items are not. If an item refuses to deposit, check whether it is unique.
- The bank is not shared between accounts. Trading materials still requires mail or a direct trade.

Admin note
Live config: ReagentBankAccount.Enable=1, AccountWide=1, AutoMigrate=1, MaxItemsPerPage=15, EnableSharing=0, EmptyOnStartup=0. Keep MaxItemsPerPage at 15 or lower; the bundled ReagentBankUI has 15 visible rows and the server clamps larger values. The hidden .rbank request protocol is an addon/server implementation detail, not a player command. Ling is entry 290011; the SQL exists, but there is no confirmed static spawn in the current world data, so do not advertise a fixed location.
