How you guys handle this on a 5 man team...?

I have so much shit in my bags I don't know where to put it all or do w/ it all. Lol. I just bought my 5th bank tab and I'm still running out of space. I save alot of stuff b/c I'll know I'll need it later for crafting....ores, leathers, weeds etc.

Bank tabs, all my guys and gals have Frozenweave bags for the bank, and I got rid of all of the BC and earlier stuff to two bank alts with full Frostweave bags.

I have 5 bank tabs too, one day I'll get the 6th.

Do as much combining as you can - if you're saving ore for JC and Blacksmithing or Engineering, keep half ore, smelt the other half, bars take up less space. Same for herbs - if it's primarily for an Inscriptionist, mill half of them, the pigments take up less space. Same for leather - if you know you need mostly heavy leather, combine the half of the Borean, and combine all the scraps.

My biggest issue was meat, for cooking, it took over a bank tab for a while. Your post reminded me I need to make bags for another alt for meat.

The biggest issue I've had is gems, as cut gems don't stack, so I leave those alone and only cut when I need, or I'll cut a stack of green gems, and keep the perfects.

If you can afford a 5k bank tab, drop a few k on Frostweave bags for everyone, and make a couple bank alts and kit them out, and use those slots.

Depends what is cheaper really.
You can easily make a guild with your toons.
Each guild can have so many tabs.
At some point it will be cheaper to make a new guild purely for storage then to buy more tabs.

Of course you then need to manually transfer from the banker toon.
But with another banker right next to them, and mail only between same accounts, its not a huge deal.

What Ualaa said :).
I can recommend making a guild, the bank is very handy.

No, no....you guys misunderstood, I AM on my 5th Guild bank tab. lol Persoanl banks are filled too.
I'm so way behind on crafting, I have a ton of shit saved lol.

time for your banking guild :) just put all your bank toons in a new guild u make and store the less often used stuff there. OR, just sell a lot of the common stuff, gold is much easier to hoard, and spread around than raw items.

Ah :) ok sorry.
Auction house maybe then?
Or yes make another guild for your banktoons only .

I'm too big of a packrat I think, lol.

Come to this realization. If you're 5 boxing 80s, you can generated enormous money without a huge amount of effort. Is it worth the hassle for holding onto linen, leather, etc whatever, when you can probably very easily do some dailies and then PL your professions whenever you choose?

On the other hand, if you enjoy hoarding the stuff, then my comment above is moot =)

pretty good point:)

Talk to Oathbreaker. He has so much crap I am amazed. I bet he has 1 billion items.

[Simulacra]

of course there is one crazy solution noone has mentioned......do your profession levelling now?
what I do is something like this

my enchanter is also my tailor so I de what I make
when levelling jewelcrafting I park the jewelcrafter and the enchanter next to each other at the gb and the jewelcrafter deposits the items in the gb and the enchanter takes them out at de's the items
it's quicker than doing a trade
for items that cannot be de'd or have some sort of value I park a couple of bank alts next to whoever and he fills his bags and sells them on the ah
also
if you're like me you're a hoarder of old gear, do you really need that cloth pair of pants you got from a quest when you were level 55? I cleaned out all my old gear that I knew I would never use again and made over a 1000g
and of course the really cheap option for 29 day storage is the mail, you can mail something like 12 items to an alt for 30 copper - that's damn cheap and you have 29 days to pick it up and you can just pick up 1 item from each mail at a time if you want to, a good example of that is incriptions, you make so many sorts to level and they take up heaps of room so mail is the way to go - a hell of lot cheaper than starting a new guild
