Bank organisation

Bank Organization
A common problem amongst many players is a disorganized bank.

Banks become disorganized when a player; doesn't clean out their bank since day one, stores every random item they receive, does not throw out any items, especially those obtained from quests.

Organizing your bank can be a quick and easy task, especially for newer players.

If you want to have a clean bank, with easy access to the items you need then follow these tips;

Saving Space
Clutter leads to disorganization, so...


 * Destroy All Holiday Items; of course if you like to wear a specific holiday item go ahead and keep it, but the ones that just sit in your bank, dull and useless, go ahead and destroy those - don't worry, you can still get them back by speaking to Diango, in Draynor Village.
 * Drop All Quest Items; during some quests you will receive items that you will never need again, once you have completed said quest. These are the items that seem to really junk up people's banks. Go ahead and drop (or destroy) those items, this will save a lot of bank space and really seem to clear things up.
 * Throw Out the Trash; you know those random items, such as burnt fish, ashes, etc.? Go ahead and get rid of things like that. It really doesnt help when your bank is filled with several types of burnt fish.
 * Sell Your Crops; farmers, especially beginning farmers have a lot of junk crops - things like cabbage, corn, or potatoes. Sell those items, either on the Grand Exchange or to the General Store. These vegetables and stuff will not help you much, and should therefore be discarded.
 * Make Use of Your Costume Room; if you are a player who has embraced the art of Construction, and have adorned your home with a Costume Room, go ahead and buy Mahogony flatpacks. Use the appropriate storage spaces to hold the armour that seems to mess up your bank.

Tips & Hints

 * Skillcapes; if you're lucky enough to own a skillcape you should always store them at the very top of your bank. Put the hood first then the cape beside it. You should also buy at least two capes and hoods, why? Because when you remove the cape from the bank and then store it again you will have to move it all the way back to the top, if you have a lot of items it can be tedious. Remember, if you have a skillcape it should be THE FIRST item in your bank!
 * Armour; first of all, let me reccomend that you buy your armour in sets, especially Barrows. After your skillcapes should come you armour. So lets say a player has the Attack, Strength, Defense, and Hitpoints cape, as well as two sets of all Barrows armour, there bank should line up like this -

Attack hood, Attack skillcape, Strength hood, Strength skillcape, Defense hood, Defense skillcape, Hitpoints hood, Hitpoints cape, Dharok's helm, Dharok's plate, Dharok's legs, Dharok's great axe, Torag's helm, Torag's plate, Torag's legs, Torag's twin hammers, Guthan's helm, Guthan's plate, Guthan's chainskirt, Guthan's warspear, Verac's helm, Verac's brassard, Verac's skirt, Verac's flail, Karil's coif, Karil's leathertop, Karil's leatherskirt, Karil's crossbow, Ahrim's hood, Ahrim's robetop, Ahrim's robeskirt, Ahrim's staff.

This is a very clever way to organize your bank, especially if you do have four skillcapes, and all Barrows armour, why? Because the four capes would take up two slots each, one for the hood, one for the cape; your capes will take up the whole first line of your bank. There are four pieces to each Barrows set, not including bolt racks for the Karil's crossbow, there are six sets of armour, this means that the next three lines of your bank would be all Barrows armour. All armour sets on RuneScape typically will take up four spots, if stored properly, one argument is that Bandos and Armadyl armour will not take up four spots, but if you have the corresponding godswords you will be able to successfully follow the rule of four.
