Warband Bank Archives

World of Warcraft has quietly removed two achievements associated with the Warband Bank in its recent update for The War Within expansion. This change means completionists no longer need to spend over 3,000,000 gold to obtain all achievements from the new expansion. Pre-Expansion Update and Features The Pre-Expansion Update for The War Within began on July 23, but several features did not go live until a week later. On July 30, Blizzard addressed various bugs, activated the Warband Bank, and launched the Radiant Echoes Pre-Patch world event. Removal of Learning to Share and So Much Sharing Achievements In a recent hotfix, Blizzard made a significant change by removing the "Learning to Share" and "So Much Sharing" achievements associated with the Warband Bank. Previously, these achievements were awarded for purchasing Warband Bank tabs. The "Learning to Share" achievement required the purchase of the first tab, while "So Much Sharing" demanded the acquisition of all five tabs. With these achievements removed, players now have no incentive to buy every tab beyond the extra storage space they provide. Costs of Warband Bank Tabs Here is a breakdown of the costs for unlocking each Warband Bank tab: TabGold Cost11,000225,0003100,0004500,00052,500,000Total3,126,000 The first tab cost a modest 1,000 gold, making the "Learning to Share" achievement relatively easy to obtain. However, the cost for subsequent tabs escalated sharply, with the final tab priced at 2,500,000 gold, totaling 3,126,000 gold for all five tabs. Given that these achievements offered no additional titles, mounts, or rewards, their removal was welcomed by many players. Community Reaction and Additional Changes The community has largely reacted positively to this change. With the achievements gone, players can now focus on enjoying the game without the pressure of spending excessive amounts of gold. While the first achievement might have been a nice bonus, the cost of completing "So Much Sharing" was prohibitive for most players. Despite the removal of these achievements, players can still benefit from maximizing their Warband Bank utility. For instance, reaching max level with five characters of different classes grants the "Quintessential Quintet" achievement, which reduces the cooldown of the Warband Bank Distance Inhibitor by one hour. This spell, unlocked through a short questline in The War Within Pre-Patch, allows access to the storage area for 10 minutes every hour. Final Thoughts The removal of the "Learning to Share" and "So Much Sharing" achievements in World of Warcraft's The War Within update is a positive change for completionists and casual players alike. By eliminating the need to spend vast amounts of gold for minimal rewards, Blizzard has made the game more enjoyable and less financially demanding. As players continue to explore the new expansion, they can look forward to additional content and updates without the burden of these costly achievements. Also Read:
