Phase 3: Profit !

Why would you want a guild ?

The Last 4 bank slot cost 25g each, and a 16 slot bags cost about 5g each
125g for 64 slot
1g95s per slot

The first Guild Bank tab
100g for 98 slot
1g02s per slot

That’s a Double

Unless you are planning to have an extra bank alt.
If you feel that bags and first 4 slots of your bank is not enough.
Goes for the guild bank
Using the first tab of guild bank is half priced than using the last 4 slot of your bank

Bonus Feature:
You can view the content in armoy, if you ever want to.

You can allow your friends had a limited access to it, if you like (With log as well)
e.g. 1. Giving a trusted business partner deposit access to it, he can put items into it, without populate the your traffic jammed mail box.
e.g. 2. Invite all friendly guildmate’s bank alt for trash recycling, cloth, goods, unwanted green armors etc
e.g. 3. Account common bank for multi account people. no more, login to that char to get that mail problem

Last but not least,
Your Favorite Creative Guild Name appears under on your Bank Alt’s name!

Limited only by your imagination

However,
most of ui support basic function for the guildbank,
e.g. sorting or caching info on that
do not expect advance function be okay
(e.g. bankstack’s fill function is not working on guildbank at the moment)
which is minor issue IMO.

How can you create a guild (Bank Alt Version) ?

I won’t repeat the basic that you can easily look it up on wowwiki
instead of posting this __link__ here

I would talk about how to create it for you bank alt

It is hard to

Get Nine friends who’re friendly enough to
logout and change to their bank alt for you,
at the SAME TIME

Since most of their main already got a guild.

They must change to a character that hadn’t join any guild to sign it for you. (and They must be from 9 different accounts)
and I find that, people logging out,
will be removed from the charter. (permanently/temporary? I am not sure)
So you need at least 9 of them online when you turn in the charter

Itwill be a race to get the nine people against how long those people stay online.

If you can’t get enough buddies (and it’s hard)
there are two ways out.

1. Paying Gold for a signature – But be reminded that, people may logout after you give them money
2. Asking Nicely for a signature – I am surprisingly so many people will help you out of this.
   Just be polite and ask.
   I believe your character’s appearance will count too.
   nicer name, low level, and may be being a female character will help.
   Guild Name also matters.

When

Either way, when you start getting your first signature, the race will begin.

So it’s important when did you start your guild chart race.
Remember our objective is to get 9 signatures at the same time,
if it is 9am in the morning, even if you pay 20g, you have little chance to get those 9 signatures
(on 100g people may swtich from their main, but you have no way to gurantee them online that long either).

Same goes on for Busy Saturday Raid Night hours, while all people are rushing.

For my server, Saturday 11am-1pm and 7pm-8pm is golden.
Since those raid will stop for lunch and dinner.

Those raiders will log into their bank alt for Auction House.

Low-level player will be evenly distributed, so it’s no big difference.
(some Low-level player may hesitate to sign a charter as well,
since they may not understand what’s going on)

Where
You need people have spare time for 20-30 seconds to click the button.
the best place you’ll found is the active city’s action hall and bank.

Don’t bother those stand still near the mailbox, banker or auction NPC for long though…
they are sorting their bank or Searching for goods.
and They’ll very likely to ignore you.

Find those stand still on a place for trading.
of moving around nearby
e.g. The bridge in ironforge, 8-9 yard from the Auction NPC is a safe bet.
asking for people when you are around them is much better.
don’t whisper someone you don’t know where he/she is,
or need to run a long trip to them.
Make them convenience, and they’ll help.

You can always use “/who” to look for people without guild in the city
to decide to stay there or not. (change the tab from zone to guild name)
Ironforge to Stormwind is good if you really can’t get all those sigature for long.
Orgrimmar to Undercity or Thunder Bluffis also a good choice

Last word, persistence helps.

If you done all of the above,
you already have the highest chance of creating a guild
if you still can’t create that in 30-40 minutes
You are very bad luck that day. Just try again later.
