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.
Is there a way to auto deposit on open for items destined for the regent bank?
I would like to be able to use the blizzard sort function for my bags, bank and reagent bank. Blizzards sorting function takes 1 second, bankstacks takes around 5 with lagspikes in between. Is there a possibility you could add this option? I would still like to use the stacking and guildbank sorting function of bankstack though.
think i shed a lil tear seeing bankstack work again lol
was wondering is it possible to have BS sort the void storages?
thank you again for updating this :D
anxiously waiting the update for 6.0!
To update for 6.0:
1. Download newest Ace 3 Libraries here, http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/ace3/818625
2. Go to the addin folder "Wow -> Interface -> Addons -> Bankstack -> lib". Replace each Ace lib folder in there with the appropriate one from the Ace 3 Download.
So this has been amazing for me sorting things for my guilds, will there be a 6.0+ version?
I kind of fucked up the first time I tried to use the 'ignore' function and messed it all up. How do I remove what slots the addon will ignore?
The biggest issues this addon has relates to the interactions with the guild bank. Specifically, there is no throttling control on stack nor compression interactions which causes a stallout. I didn't like it when they made the gbank throttling changes then, and I still don't like them now. Significant changes with no documentation nor announcement.... PHAH!
Great for sorting your guild bank out! Only complaint I have is wish it was just a bit quicker, but still, saves me a ton of time and glad I came across it!
This addon right here, this addon I do not like it at all. I LOVE IT! This addon has saved me so many countless hours it's insane. Great job, awesome work, any guild master should be using this! Thank you so much!
I've been using this for a long time and it's such an awesome addon. Still works well as of this writing.
I would like to request a feature with BankStack that lets us sort Void Storage as well, if dev has time or inclination.
Still working ;) and its gooooood :D
yes, your bank has to be open to do a sort bank, just as your guild bank has to be open to do a sort guild.....You cannot interact with both the guildbank and the bank ingame simultaneously...
I have to be quitting guild bank screen in order to make it sort with /sort bank command.
check out TSM (specifically the warhousing module) Idk if you're going to be able to clear every item from your bags, but it can certainly move every single glyph out etc etc.
Bewarned however
1. you need the core TSM (tradeskill master) addon
2. it requires set up. TSM is not an out of the box addon like bankstack. You have to create groups and operations that get applied to those groups...
that said, TSM is awesome. Just be prepared to spend some time thinking about "operations". and creating groups. You'll possibly find something like the TSM groupmaker useful to create wide generic non profession related groups.
Hope that helps. (<3 bankstack but please please update so it sorts without breaking so often!)
would love to have a addon that does that as well if you find one shoot me a pm plz
I have two toons I use mainly for auctions, one shops mats on auction house, and builds items to sell. The other gets the items in mail and lists them on auction.
Is there an addon, or way to modify the addon, to move EVERYTHING from character bags to guild bank?
This would be perfect for those times I have to deal with 300 inbound netherweave bags, that won't 'stack to bank', or 500 stacks of cloth I have to get from mail.
this would let me quickly drop 100 items from my bags to guild bank, so I could get to other mails... etc.
Currently I have to click all the stacks to throw them into guild bank.
Does anyone know what TSM is using to access items in guild banks so rapidly?
Is it only on my guild, or does it sort very very slow?
