Runescape Banks Guide

In the game of Runescape your inventory or backpack will only hold a maximum of 28 items, but as you progress through the game you a great deal more items than 18 so the Runescape bank system was introduced. Also as you progress through the game you will begin to obtain more valuable items as well as accumulate more money but consider when you die in Runescape you only keep your there most valuable items you’d be well advised to keep your valuable items in a Runescape bank unless you are actively using them. Exceptions to this rule are when you have the prayer Protect Items activated when you die which allows you to keep an addition item that you wouldn’t have kept otherwise when you die. The other exception is when you have a skull above you head which you obtain when you attack another player in the wilderness in which case you lose all the items you are carrying unless you have protect items activated.

Runescape Bank Locations

Runescape banks are found all around Runescape, but are most commonly found in the major cities of Runescape and are represented on the Runescape map as a dollar sign.

Using Runescape Banks

Using a Runescape bank is relatively easy all you have to do is right click on the banking booth and click ‘Use Bank Booth’. This will initiate a conversation with a banker and from there you will gain access to your bank. Right clicking and selecting Use-Quickly Bank Booth will give you quick access to your bank without needing to speak with the banker.

Paying Runescape members have hundreds of space in their banks in which to store items. Free version players have a much smaller amount of bank slots in which to store their Runescape items, though free version players don’t have nearly as large a range of items to store.

Runescape Bank Notes

In the vast majority of case when you are carrying items in your inventory each item you carry takes up its own slot in your inventory. However when you are storing items in your bank the same items, for example iron bars, would only take up a single slot but have a numerical number on the item to represent how many of that item you have. Now if you’d like to trade high quantities of items faster than 28 at a time then you are able to withdraw items in noted form which basically withdraws the item as a note and the note is tradable and then the owner of the noted items can redeem the items by depositing the note into their own Runescape bank account.

Runescape Bank Pins – Protecting Your Runescape Bank Account from Hackers

Runescape banks pins are a four digit code that the Runescape account owner sets to give their Runescape bank account added security in the event that someone manages to hack their Runescape account. Basically when you first try to access you Runescape bank account after logging in you need to enter your bank pin to verify that you are indeed the owner of the account.

How Do I Setup a Runescape Bank Account Pin?

To setup your Runescape bank pin you need to speak with a banker in a Runescape bank and select your bank settings to set your PIN. We you are creating a new bank pin you need to enter your new PIN twice to confirm that it is the pin you want. After you have set your pin there is a 7 day waiting period before the pin will take effect which essentially just put in a safe guard in case someone hacks your Runescape account and attempts to put a pin on your account.

Bank Pin Safeguards

Once you have set your pin and it has been confirmed when you log onto Runescape and attempt to access your bank account you will be asked for you pin and you will enter it via a clicking the numbers of your pin on a number pad. This number pad will rearrange itself after each click. The Runescape bank account pin system was setup up like this to prevent Runescape hackers gaining your secret bank pin via a key logging mechanism or a click tracker because the numbers are never in the same position twice.
