...Great article and some very good comments too! :)<br />I currently have 2 Bank Alts each with their own Guild Vault.<br />One stores all my transmog stock and the other stores all my profession mats.<br />The basic 6 bank tabs works fine for me and although a little pricey to buy all 6 (or 12 in my case with 2 alts) the quality of life benefits are worth it in my opinion.Robert Waddellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14772549262911827482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834740262840749354.post-53061111410852768032012-10-23T16:55:33.014-06:002012-10-23T16:55:33.014-06:00Hey Jim, thanks for posting this up for the reader...Hey Jim, thanks for posting this up for the readers. I would make a couple comments on it in addition if I can.<br /><br />1 - Concerning the slot cost debate, it's worth noting that over the long term, fixed costs today become relatively cheaper tomorrow. When the last tab at 20k was initially priced, this was in the Cata market environment and so with the release of MoP and the natural inflation cycle, 20k by comparison becomes relatively cheaper. This effect only compounds over the long term, so paying a fixed price today on any set commodity that has equally effective use in the future (like bank slots, glyphs and the Traveller's Tundra mount for example) become relatively cheaper the longer you hold it. To put it another way, consider dropping 20k on a BOE Epic item today - will it still be as useful in 6 months, yet alone another expansion? Compare that to 96 extra bank slots which will ALWAYS be useful, no matter what the content progression and you can see what I mean.<br /><br />2 - Also consider the option of buying a guild already established. I've found people will come and go from the game (GMs included) or people will transfer servers and not wish to maintain or transfer a guild with them. You can negotiate some very attractive prices on established guilds without the extra hassle and can get the extras (like guild levels) effectively thrown in for free. Watch / Advertise in /2 and see how you go, you might be pleasantly surprised!<br /><br />3 - Also consider allowing people in your storage guild early on to level it up. Why do all the work yourself? You can bring in new people with the basic XP perk, offer attractive incentives with free repairs and withdrawls from the guild bank and allow them to level it up for you. Especially at this stage of the Xpac where levelling it still going on, it's not a bad idea to think about setting these guilds up for future use by yourself.<br /><br />4 - If you can, higher level guilds are better to obtain. If you can get your hands on a level 25 guild, consider it seriously (even at big cost). The perks for a high ranked guild are great for your alts to get benefits and you can transfer gear between your alts in the guild without coughing up the fees for the mailbox. A rank 25 guild right now is a very good place to park all your alts and share the same space, without needing to send your stuff via mailboxes, saving time and money.<br /><br />Hope the tips / advice help!Austackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493769923008730138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834740262840749354.post-10833428482794739052012-10-23T11:55:50.624-06:002012-10-23T11:55:50.624-06:00Very interesting article, moreover, it intersects ...Very interesting article, moreover, it intersects with the optimal set of proffs for the secondary characters.<br />Any plans to update - http://www.powerwordgold.net/2012/07/perfect-professions-by-numbers.html ?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03574549266303766301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834740262840749354.post-12852800415294502532012-10-23T03:40:47.959-06:002012-10-23T03:40:47.959-06:00Hi Jim,

The initial gold outlay isn't so bad, especially if it makes it easier to make more :) I've tried using the post method as storage - but I do play all my alts on occasion and it bugs me seeing that envelope on the minimap :D<br /><br />I'll probably pick up a few levels on it too - thanks for the candy bucket tip Chris.<br /><br />Cheers guys, will let you know how I get on.<br />EdladdEdladdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14193138667801460492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834740262840749354.post-21296987172574353142012-10-22T21:14:57.648-06:002012-10-22T21:14:57.648-06:00A pretty easy way to level a guild is with the Can...A pretty easy way to level a guild is with the Candy Baskets (until Hallow's End is over). They give the same 60K Guild XP as any quest. If you have 2 accounts or a really good friend (and a 2 seater mount) you can grab every basket fairly quickly.<br /><br />An add on called Candy Baskets (go figure) will add the locations to your in game map and even give the info to TomTom for quicker travel.Chris, aka StupidGoldTweethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15032664971017568693noreply@blogger.com
