Saving Bank Space Guide
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Clearing out your bank:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When you are going through your bank, you will be astounded at how much junk you find. As you go through, ask yourself whether you really need the items you want to get rid of. If not, away it goes. All it takes is a few minutes to go through your bank, and get rid of all that unwanted stuff. Just start from the top row, and slowly work your way down, and withdraw any items you feel are not necessary (in notes). The best place to clear out your bank is close to a General Store. If the items you are getting rid of have even a little value, walk the extra few steps to the store once you have a full inventory, and save yourself a few gp. You will not be able to sell most quest items, as well as several other items, to the store. Once you have sold all items you can to the General Store, drop any remaining items. If you have not reached the bottom of your bank yet, return, and repeat the process. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Items to get rid of:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Weapons and armour: Keep only one set. If you do a lot of F2P PK'ing, you might want to keep a set of rune as well.
Arrows: Same as for armour. It might be a good idea to have a set of arrows that you train with (ie. weaker ones), as well as ones that you use to PK and/or fight harder mosters. Finish making the arrows. Don't leave headless arrows and heads lying around.
Potions: These are a big bank space user. Keep all your potions of the same kind of one dose, don't have some 1 dose, some 2 dose, etc. Remember that you can use one potion with another potion of the same kind to combine the doses. Also, don't leave unfinished potions lying around.
Herbs: These are another big bank space user. Identify all your herbs and use them, or sell them, as well as the ones you can't identify.
Flowers: If you like to carry around flowers occasionally, keep one set. Don't keep flowers of all the different kinds, as it will take up a lot of bank space.
Food: Keep some high healing food, such as sharks, as well as some lower healing food, such as lobsters or swordfish. It might also be a good idea to have some cakes handy if you use agility often. Again, do not keep different portions of cakes, as this will use up a lot of bank space.
Cannon: If you don't use your cannon often, you can save some bank space without any cash out of pocket. Simply set up your cannon, and walk away. When you need it again, you can get it back from the dwarf. Be careful to set it up, rather than drop it.
Kittens: If you don't particularly like or care for your cat or kitten, shoo it away, or raise it to a cat and sell in West Ardougne for 100 death runes. You can collect another one from Gertrude for 100gp.
Kitten food: If you are raising your kitten, don't keep all different kinds of food for it. You only need one kind.
Fishing equipment: No need to keep this, it is easy and cheap to obtain.
Bones: Bury them, sell them, or worship the Ectofunctus with them. Do not keep them in your bank, especially if you have multiple kinds.
Castle Wars Prizes: If you don't use them often, trade them in for tickets.
Chompy Hats: No need to keep these, you can get them back from Rantz.
Clothing: Don't keep different kinds of clothes. Remember you can permanently change your look for 500gp at the clothes shop in Varrock.
Seeds: No need to keep all different kinds of seeds. Keep the ones you use, and perhaps some that you are close to being able to use. Don't keep seeds that are far below your level, and well above your level.
Runes: Only keep the runes you use. No need to keep runes you will never want or use.
Talismans and Tiaras: Don't keep the ones you don't use. Also, don't keep a talisman if you have a tiara of the same kind.
Logs: Keep the logs you use, or chop frequently. No need to have all different kinds of logs.
Jewellery: Don't keep unenchanted jewelry, either enchant it or sell it. Also, don't keep jewelry of different uses (eg. Games Necklace, Ring of Duellings, Glory Amulet).
Moulds: If you use them often, keep the ones you use. Otherwise, get rid of them.
Capes: If you like to wear capes, keep the ones you use, don't keep decorative ones of different colours. Only keep one Wilderness cape, if you use it often.
Useless items: Don't keep crushed gemstones, burnt food and the like - basically items that have no use. Why keep them?
Untradable Holiday Items: No need to keep these, you can always get them back. You can get Bunny Ears and Scythe from Varrock Clothes store, and yo-yo and rubber chicken from Diango in Draynor Village.
Ores and bars: Smelt all your ores, otherwise sell them. Don't keep ores and bars of different kinds.
Gems: Cut your uncut gems, or sell them. Sell or use the cut gems.
Farming equipment: There's not really any need to keep secateurs, gardenings trowels, etc. as they are easy to obtain, and are only really used for trees.
General Store items: No need to keep chisels, hammers, tinderboxes etc. unless you use them often. You can buy them from General Stores for a few gp.
Bows: Don't keep unstrung bows as well as strung ones. If you plan to alch them, alch them.
Smithing: Don't smith different kinds of items. Also, sell them as soon as you are done with them.
Quest items: Get rid of quest items once you are done with them. If you have stopped doing a quest, no need to keep the items, you can get them again once you start it again.
Hides: Don't keep hard tanned, soft tanned and untanned hides at the same time, just keep one kind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~More Tips:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
If you have some valuable items that you no longer want to keep, have a bank sale! This is a great way to clear out your bank and make some money while you're at it. High alchemy is also a great way to get rid of unwanted items, but don't use it unless they alch for at least 400gp.
You can sell your items from the Shilo Village quest Yanni Salika in the village.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Quest items to keep:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is not really much need to keep any quest items - if they are useful, they can be obtained after the quest, usually for free.
Iban Staff: Obtained from Underground Pass. This is the main quest item I recommend you keep, as it will cost 200k to replace. To replace it, kill a disciple in the pass, who will drop a broken staff. Take it to the wizard in West Ardougne and pay him 200k to repair it.
Silverlight: Obtained from Demon Slayer. This weapon is powerful on demons. You can buy a replacement from Sir Prysin for 500gp, or in the Legends Guild.
Excalibur: Obtained from Merlin's Crystal. Talk to the Lady of the Lake in Taverley to replace it.
Dramen Staff: Obtained from Lost City. Cut the tree on Entrana again to get a replacement.
Ectophial: Obtained from Ghosts Ahoy. Provides teleportation to Morytania. Talk to Velorina to replace it.
Ancient Staff: Obtained from Desert Treasure. Kill mummies in the pyramid to get it back.
Klank's Gauntlets: Obtained from Underground Pass. Buy them from Klank for 5k.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Bank organization tips:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The less bank space you use the better. It will be easier to organize your bank, and you will find your items a lot quicker.
You should all make a basic attempt at organization of your bank. It helps to keep multiple copies of items, that way the item doesn't lose it's space in the bank. Some people use place holders, ie. items that you put in the place of an item you have withdrawn so that it keeps its place.
Use your own method to group your items. A good idea is to group items that have many different versions (such as armour, potions, herbs, runes, etc.) together. It is also good to group your items by skills. Your coins should be kept at the very top of your bank. Keep the items you use often, and don't have a group, at the bottom.
