The Ultimate Guide to Moving Bank Items in OSRS

Introduction

Managing your bank efficiently is crucial in Old School RuneScape (OSRS). With hundreds of items to track, organizing and transferring them can become a tedious task. This comprehensive guide will provide you with everything you need to know about moving bank items, from using deposit boxes to setting up the optimal bank layout.

Methods for Moving Bank Items

1. Deposit Boxes:

Deposit boxes are a convenient way to quickly move items into your bank. Simply right-click on an item and select "Deposit." The item will be automatically placed in the first available deposit box.

2. Bank Presets:

Bank presets allow you to save a specific item layout. This is particularly useful for gear setups for different activities, such as combat, skilling, or PvP. To create a preset, click on the "Bank Presets" tab in your bank window and drag items into the preset.

3. Bank Tabs:

Bank tabs help organize items into categories. You can create custom tabs by clicking on the "+" icon and naming the tab. Items can be moved between tabs by dragging and dropping.

4. Shift-Clicking:

Shift-clicking an item will withdraw ten (10) items from the bank. Shift-clicking again will withdraw five (5) items. This method is faster than using the withdraw button.

5. Bank Fillers:

Bank fillers are items that take up space in your bank. They can be useful for organizing your bank and preventing accidental withdrawals. Common bank fillers include empty vials, eggs, or rocks.

Tips and Tricks

1. Use Deposit Box Hotkeys:

Configure hotkeys for deposit boxes to quickly deposit items without opening the bank interface.

2. Optimize Bank Layout:

Organize your bank by placing frequently accessed items near the top of the bank interface.

3. Utilize Bank Boosters:

Certain items, such as the Mounted Xerrian Crystals, boost your bank capacity.

4. Sell Unwanted Items:

Regularly check your bank for items that you no longer need and sell them to clear out space.

5. Use the Search Bar:

The bank search bar allows you to quickly find specific items.
