General Usage

Deposits are only accepted on designated "Deposit" tabs to help keep the bank organized.
Everything except the "Raid Items" and "Epic Items" tabs are up for grabs. All ranks excluding "New Recruit" can access these tabs and take up to 4 items or stacks of items per day. If you need more speak with an officer.
The "Epic Items" tab is reserved for purples and other high value items. We prefer these items go to people who intend to use them in our raids. Ask an officer if there's anything in there you could use.

Selling Guild Bank Items

Items you take need to be used to advance YOUR characters. It is inappropriate to sell guild bank items on the AH to fund your personal coffers. Similarly, crafting items PURELY for sale using guild banked materials is frowned upon. Using guild materials to skill up professions IS appropriate.

Donating Items

Please don't deposit:

Pre-Cataclysm profession recipes or materials.
Pre-Cataclysm consumable items.
Uncommon (green) gear. Rare and epic gear is welcomed.
Vendor trash.

People can farm up old materials for skilling up new professions. There's no way we could keep the bank stocked with enough of that stuff to be useful. If you want to get rid of some old materials you can always ask in guild chat to see if anyone's working on a profession.

Donating Money

We do not encourage people to donate money; guild income from achievements should be sufficient to cover all of our needs.

Use Of Guild Funds

Guilds funds are used to pay for a certain amount of guild repairs to defray everyone's raiding costs. Otherwise guild funds are conserved for potential large-ticket guild purchases.

Other Stuff

Officers will periodically auction seldom-used items and put the money in the guild bank.
Nobody is REQUIRED to make donations, but if you find other people's donations useful, others might appreciate yours as well.
