Controls - Banks
As your wealth in RuneScape increases, you will soon run out of space in your inventory to carry it all around with you. It is quite risky to have all of your items on you because, when you die, you will drop the majority of them.
To prevent such a devastating loss, your character has been provided with a bank account. You can place any item in your bank account and retrieve it at any time from any bank.
The Bank of RuneScape has branches all over the world. Branches of this bank can be found in Varrock, Falador, Edgeville, Draynor Village, and many other populated areas.
When you arrive at a bank, simply click on the bank booth to perform the default action, Use Bank booth. By doing this, you will start a conversation with one of the bankers. Talking to a banker is very important as this allows you to set your .
If you are using a multiple button mouse, if you right click on the booth the following options will be displayed - Use Bank booth, Use-quickly Bank booth, Collect Bank booth and Examine Bank booth. These options are always displayed for a player using a single button mouse.
By selecting Use Bank booth, you will start a conversation with a banker. To bypass the conversation screens and access your account immediately, select the Use-quickly Bank booth option.
To check up on any offers you have made at the , select Collect Bank booth. This will bring up a small window to inform you whether any trades have been completed. You can collect any cash or items you have won by clicking on the trade.
If you click on a banker behind one of the booths, you will start a conversation with that banker. This is the same as clicking on the booth or right-clicking on a booth and selecting the Use Bank booth option.
If you are using a multiple button mouse, right click on a banker to get the following extra options - Talk-to Banker, Bank Banker, Collect Banker and Examine Banker. Talk-to Banker is the default option, Bank Banker will take you directly into your account without you having to talk to the banker. Collect Banker will give you access to a summary of your trades. These options are always displayed for a player using a single button mouse.
Once you have decided to use the bank, your bank account will be displayed. Here you will see all of the items that you have gathered and saved.
Storage space in bank accounts are different for members and non-members. Members have hundreds of spaces in their bank, while non-members have less than one hundred.
If you have multiple items of the same type in the bank, a number will appear next to it to indicate how many you have. The bankers aren't fussy and will safely store anything from runes to big piles of coal!
Some items will not stack in your bank, as the bankers find them too confusing. These items are usually used to hold other items, like the satchels from .
To deposit or withdraw an item, simply click on it. Players with multiple button mice will withdraw or deposit a single piece of that item. Players using a single button mouse will get a menu of options.
To deposit more than a single piece of an item at a time, players using a multiple button mouse should right-click on the item to deposit or withdraw, and select the number you wish to deposit or withdraw from the list. The banks are free to use, so making use of them to safely store your extra items is a very good idea!
Rearrange Modes
There are two ways for you to rearrange your bank account: Swap and Insert. If you have selected the 'Swap' option, you can drag and drop items in your bank on top of other items, and the two items will swap positions in your bank.
If you have selected the 'Insert' option, dragging an item on top of an existing item will cause everything lower down in your bank to shuffle one space further to make space for the inserted item.
Using Notes
Any items which don't normally stack in your inventory and that are tradable (such as ore and food) can be withdrawn in the form of a note. If an item cannot be traded, you will not be able to withdraw it as a note. This allows large trades without taking up lots of inventory slots. To choose to withdraw the items as a note, click the ' Withdraw as Note' button at the bottom of the screen, otherwise choose ' Withdraw as Item'.
Items stored in note form cannot be wielded or equipped, and cannot be used in most skills. They can be sold as notes to any shop that would buy the un-noted item, and they can also have the low and high alchemy spells cast upon them.
Bank PINs
There is a need to keep our riches safe and sound, therefore the Bank of RuneScape has given each bank account the option of a PIN system.
You will have to create one for yourself, preferably the first time you access your bank account.
To get to this screen, simply talk to the banker and select 'Check your PIN setting'. This bank PIN setting will provide you with information on the status of your pin.
You can click on 'Set a PIN' to set your PIN for the first time or change it later.
If you want to change how long a PIN recovery takes, click on 'Change your recovery delay'.
