Bankitems

There are several addons that we probably all have as our favorites. One that Yuk and I use and consider a must have is BankItems.

If you use fubars you can also use bankitemsfu which places the bankitems icon on the fubar and allows you thru the options to remove the icon from your mini map. And if you use titan panel it will see bankitems as an information item and allow you to place the icon on the titan panel and remove the minimap icon.

Ok, so by now you want to know what can I do with this addon. By installing it and adding it through the addons button to each of your characters all you have to do is go to the bank and open your bank bags then open the guild bank, then go to mailbox and open the mailbox. This is necessary for each character, and if you play on multiple computers wow does not maintain this information so you will have to update on each computer. The addon creates a local database of your item across all toons, all guilds and all mailboxes and all servers.

Ok so that is nice right. Here is the real meat of this add on.

Lets say you want to create a widget and you know you will need a pearl, a feather, and 4 light leathers. You can click on the fu icon (a blue bag) and it opens a screen that looks like your bank bag. There are 2 arrows on the bottom rt. Click the right most one and you get another screen. On the bottom of that screen is a search box. There you search for a partial spelling or a full spelling if you are sure and up pops a list of all the locations of that item in your account inventory and all guild banks. It will show you where all those items can be found with the character, bag and slot within the bag and sort it by character and guild bank, or Tauren Stampede or bag 0 (your backpack). So if you searched "pearl" it would return all pearls in the inventory like northsea, black, small lustrous, etc. and is sorted by location.

This in short will allow you to not waste money at the AH buying what you already own, and utilize the items donated to the guild bank for your use and let you know that you really are not short 1 light leather because it is in your mailbox.

Oh yeah, it will also keep track of your gold, so you can rob Peter to pay for Pauls epic flyer. Just hover over the blue bag to see a list of your characters and the gold on them. That comes in real handy when your stone is on cooldown and you need 1 adders tongue, and you can send the funds to your banker toon because they are broke. I hope you find this a usefull tool that allows you to maximize play time and not hunting for your stuff time.

This addon is not necessary for those of you with a photographic memory.
