Warband Bank is the most relishable feature that most World of Warcraft gamers awaited. This feature lets you choose your character in the game by sharing certain aspects such as achievements, reputation, currencies, etc. Warbands are designed for the upcoming tenth expansion pack of World of Warcraft: The War Within, which will be officially released on August 26th, 2024.
However, the warbands are available with the pre-patch of The War Within, which was released on July 23rd, 2024.
How to Unlock Warband Bank in WoW
You need to complete the dedicated quest chain to unlock the Warband Bank Distance Inhibitor spell across the WoW: The War Within game. To do so, you need to log in to one of your Warband party members on WoW. You will get a prompt saying that you want to meet a Warband down in Gadgetzan.
You can take the Caverns of Time portal from Stormwind or Orgrimmar’s portal room. Alternatively, you can fly over to NPC. There, you can find the purple triangle quest maker with a primary quest: Warbanding Together. Complete this quest to get the following four in order. Finish all these quests to unlock the Warband Bank.
- Warbands: Space Ghosts by the Coast – In this quest, you have to collect 8 Spectral Essense by killing the nearby ghosts.
Note: Collecting the Spectral Essence will be a difficult part of this game. You can throw any spells or attacks to tag mobs and gain the credits.
- Warbands: Rift Reader – You have to close a series of rifts in the same area where you have killed the ghosts to complete this quest.
- Warbands: Twinsposition – Go to the area marked on the map. You will find a fancy gadget and an enemy to fight. The enemy is an evil twin which you can slay with or without using the gadget.
- Warbands: Spacetime is Money – Fly to the Gadgetzan bank and pick the ethereal item on the floor. It would be quite troublesome to pick this item because it would be obfuscated by the people around. However, aim the camera down and focus clearly to click on this item.
How Does Warband Bank Work in WoW
Once you complete all the quests, the Warband Bank will be unlocked in the WoW game.

The bank will have 5 tabs along with 98 inventory slots each. You need gold to purchase these slots in the bank.

Why is Warband Bank Not Working in WoW
The Warband Bank will glitch when you try to access it for the first time. No worries! You are not alone. This happens to every WoW gamer. Since Warband Bank is a newly released feature, it is likely to have some bugs. Many players have received an error while accessing the bank saying, “The bank is being used by another member of your Warband.” But that is not the case. There is a server error in the game, which the developers are working on to fix it.
The developers claimed that the Warband Bank is temporarily disabled in the WoW: The War Within pre-patch due to a critical issue. So, you have to wait until the developers sort out this issue.
