A sweeping change to World of Warcraft long-standing bank system is coming in TWW Patch 11.2, as revealed by Blizzard Community Manager Kaivax in an official Blue Post. As part of The War Within Season 3, players will find their character banks transformed into a new tab-based system, closely mirroring the Warband bank interface introduced earlier this expansion.

TWW new Bank system
The most notable aspects of the update include:
- Six bank tabs, each with 98 slots, replacing the current bag-slot format.
- Reagent Bank and Void Storage are being removed.
- Items previously stored in those now-defunct systems will be automatically migrated into the new tabbed bank.
- Tabs unlock automatically on login, or incrementally depending on character level and past storage usage.
- Tab costs range from 1 gold to 5000 gold.
“Character banks now comprise tabs with per-tab settings available.
Each tab includes 98 slots of storage.
The reagent bank has been removed. Void storage has been removed.”
— Kaivax, the Community Manager
If you are wondering about the math, Redditors quickly did it (Thanks to LinkedGaming):
- Old Max Storage: 280 (Bank) + 98 (Reagents) + 160 (Void) = 538 slots
- New Max Storage: 588 slots (6 tabs × 98 slots)
- Net Gain: +50 slots (~8.5% increase)
This change, part of the Ghosts of K’aresh content update, is intended to simplify inventory management and streamline how players interact with their bank.
Note
Blizzard cautions that bank access may be temporarily disabled upon logging in after the patch, especially during high server load. If conversion doesn’t complete immediately, players are advised to be patient and avoid repeated logins until the system finishes migrating their items.
The Ghosts of K’aresh update launches on August 5, with Season 3 kicking off a week later on August 12.
Community reaction
The community’s initial reaction has been generally positive, especially among players tired of juggling multiple bags and awkward interfaces. That increase, while modest, is welcomed by those who often hit storage caps. More importantly, the update replaces the clutter of several disconnected systems with a unified, visually cleaner 98-slot per-tab system.
However, several players expressed concern about the transition. Citing past data loss during major system overhauls, such as guild bank issues earlier this year, users are urging others to back up their most important items.
