BankStack
BankStack is the leading cause of things moving in your bags and bank.
It:
- sorts your inventory, bank, or guild bank
- fills incomplete stacks in your bank with items from your inventory
- compresses your bags by filling incomplete stacks within them
- puts a chicken in every pot, and pot in every chicken
Quick command reference:
/bankstack: show configuration/sort: rearrange your bags/sort bank: rearrange your bank/sort account: rearrange your warband bank/sort guild: rearrange your guild bank/sort {group}: rearrange whatever group of bags you choose/stack: fills stacks in your bank from your bags/stack bank bags: fills stacks in your bags from your bank/stack {group1} {group2}: fills stacks in group2 from group1/compress: merges stacks in your bags/compress bank: merges stacks in your bank/compress {group}: merges stacks in group/fill: fill empty slots in your bank from your bags/fill {group1} {group2}: fill empty slots in group2 from group1/squash {group}: fill up the front of the group, without sorting anything/shuffle {group}: completely randomly rearrange the contents of this group
In the /bankstack configuration you'll find sections for "ignore" and "groups". Here's a bit of elaboration on the syntax for those parts.
You need, regrettably, to hear about bag ids first. Each bag has a number which addons use to interact with it.
Unfortunately, what number maps to what bag varies depending on game type. Take a look at https://warcraft.wiki.gg/wiki/BagID
The guild bank is a whole different system, and BankStack has made up the following fake bag ids for it: 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58
To ignore slot 1 of bag 0, the first slot in your backpack, go to the "ignore" panel and put "0 1" into the textfield and click "okay".
Groups are similar. Let's say that you're a herbalist, and only want to do some things to your herb bags.
You could put this into the "groups" textbox: herbs 3,4 Or this: bankherbs 10,11
You now have two custom groups, herbs and bankherbs. Presumably you keep massive herb bags in slots 3 and 4, and are making lots of money from this because you have the two most expensive bank slots as well (10 and 11).
Having created these groups you could:
/stack herbs bankherbs
Which would fill up stacks in your bank herb bags from stacks in your personal herb bags.
Predefined groups are: bank, bags, account, guild, all, and a few more.
Click the "list" button in the groups config to see a full list.

Posted Sep 15, 2025Is there a way to lock my backpack and bags? I don't want to remove the BankStack icon, but today I've accidentally 'stacked my bags 3x! What can I say? I'm not as coordinated as I used to be. Which is why I have my bags organized like I had in retail. Thanks much for this; it works amazingly in my banks, giving back needed spaces almost every time!

Posted Sep 15, 2025In reply to linda535: Right now all you can do is hide the button on your bags/bank (the "Blizzard" section of the main config), and assign the "sort" action of the broker plugin's click to a more-restrictive keybinding. Would that be sufficient?

But is there a way to get rid of the Chat messages? ... i turned everything off, but Bankstack still flooded my Chat with all the moved items ... is there a way to turn of these messages?

Posted Aug 31, 2025How do i hide/remove the "clean up" button? I don't know how many times i have spaztically pressed it only to scream at my own stupidity. If not able to hide or remove, maybe have a "undo" option to restore the last settings?

Posted Aug 22, 2025Any ETA for auto-stacking to warband bank with the "bank opened" setting? One of my favorite features of BankStack has long been auto-stacking my reagents into the reagent bag, but now I keep most of my reagents in the warband bank.

I'm interested in doing it -- the main reason I didn't change it immediately was that I wasn't sure if altering the default behavior would make sense, or if it was something people should actually opt in to.

Posted Aug 23, 2025In reply to Kemayo: Stacking the the banks, regardless of type, would be my expected default behavior of this sort of AddOn.

Posted Aug 23, 2025Great! Though I can't really imagine why someone wouldn't want to stack to existing stacks in their warband bank if they're doing any form of auto-deposit, but also having a separate option makes sense too.

Posted Aug 11, 2025Hey,
I just started using this addon and it seems great!
I have a couple of questions/requests:
Can we please have click assignment options for warbank?
Also an option to make the default (left click) action sort the bank/warbank if it is currently open (instead of doing the bags) would be very nice. Genie had a feature like this and I'm trying to replace it since it never worked with warbank and now not with character bank either.
The even more awesome thing would be to have options to choose from what the cleanup button does if it's overtaken (I'm thinking having it do "/stack bags account" since that's the thing I seem to be going to use the most).
...Since writing this I keep having tons of improvement ideas, I can write all up in a ticket if you're willing to implement some.

I'm generally interested in improving things, so writing up something (ideally multiple tickets, one per suggestion) at https://github.com/kemayo/wow-bankstack/issues would make sense. I don't promise to implement everything, of course. :D

Posted Aug 10, 2025I apologize in advance if this has been asked before, but is there a way to make a macro with /sort bank and /sort account in it where a button like alt or shift is used? I am familiar with macros and have many, but have not had any luck with button modifiers.

I'm not actually super proficient with macros, so there might be a better way to do this with user-created slashcommands, but this does work: /script if IsAltKeyDown() then SlashCmdList["SORT"]("account") else SlashCmdList["SORT"]("bank") end

Actually, you have inspired me. An alpha build is going up right now that makes standard macro conditions work on any bankstack command. If you update to that you should be able to go wild with things like: /sort [mod:alt] account; [mod:shift] guild; bank

Thanks! That shouldn't be breaking anything -- it's just a library that's not actually used because Mists doesn't have the new bank system. That said, I will get a fix up to stop the erroring.
