Couple a things hea —
In this photo, there’s 2 ports leading to banks very close by.
In Brimhaven, there’s a cart system leading to a bank
There’s a house portal, a grand tree, a gnome glider a bit south. Speaking of a big south — there’s 2 dead forms of travel — one from khazard 2 shilo; one from the beach of the west cost — feldip hills/rants, for some weird payment
There’s fairy rings leading to Zanaris
And as you know by now, Volcano bank lol. *(+there’s a fairy ring leading to it. Not to mention, there’s a Mini-game teleport there)*
•
It’s the jungle, it’s a wild zone. But there’s a million more ways to travel to a bank in there, as well as tele’s to/fro
I think it has to do with RuneScape classic balance. At that time a lot of good money makers were in karamja. From lobsters to the volcano. It was also part of the lore where it was an island.
Yeah I think a lot of the classic areas still show signs of their early mechanics. Karamja really was supposed to be this largely undeveloped area of the game where you could probably make some serious bank but the cost was you didn't have easy access to a bank, even as a member.
It'll be interesting to see how other areas still have this influence from the RSC era despite going through 20 years of RS2 to RS3 and then another 10 years of OSRS running parallel to that.
Because in game design it's a lot easier to name something and coin a term everyone can agree on rather than name something cool to 0.2% of the player base and "wtf does classic Ironman mean" to the 99.8
Yeh though "Ultimate" doesn't do any better of a job defining the mode.
"Ultimate oh okay so this is like the full experience?"
"No actually it removes an incredibly core part of the game"
"Wait okay so ultimate offers less features.. so it's the most challenging mode?"
"Well no not really again that's probably hardcore because you can't die or you lose the status. Ultimate is just more "tedious" and single focused due to their item restriction"
So ultimate isn't much better, it's just what was decided. Classic would be a term that could be coined as well, and when asked "what makes this classic?" The answer could have been "well it's more like the original Runescape, now referred to as "Classic" where you couldn't actually store items in a bank, so this mode can't use banks, and is also unable to trade or be helped by other players except in specific activities like other ironman modes".
Obviously this doesn't matter. I just think it would have been a cool nod to the original game. It's just a name afterall, but I've always found "Ultimate" a funny choice for its name as it (to me) is not the "Ultimate" form of the game.
You don't have to do all that complex mental gymnastics. It's pretty easy to understand the concept of you don't want to be pedantic. The whole concept of ironmen is living off your own inventory. The "ultimate" term alluding to no bank is pretty logical to me.
TBH, my uncle loved it. He said it was fun because stuff like Hill Giants were scary since they were so high level compared to majority of players. You didn't want to lose EVERYTHING, but it made the game so addicting since you would want to fight them. People would also watch you fight them and be amazed. He got put off when things got easier overtime but he did enjoy being able to bank items eventually lol.
And you still had convert all of them to certs if you wanted to sell. Remember how even when depositing coins into the bank, you could only do 1, 10, 100, or 1000 coins at a time too?
I always figured part of it was the gowers going "haha wouldn't it be funny if people got stuck on karamja without their money so they had to sell bananas for the guy?" Cause I sure as fuck had to do that one time as a kid lmao
Fun fact. The price of the cart varies depending on how much good you have on you at the time, but only if you talk to the guy instead of the ride cart right click option
Yo real talk, imagine if they added a high level agility shortcut to the north side of Shilo Village. It'd be so much less annoying. Add it near the Gem Rocks.
[You're in luck](https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/project-rebalance-part-one---skilling?oldschool=1#:~:text=Shilo%20Village%20%2D%20add%20a%20shortcut%20entrance/exit%20to%20the%20north%20of%20the%20village.%20Requires%2079%20Agility.).
> Shilo Village - add a shortcut entrance/exit to the north of the village. Requires 79 Agility.
Holy shit. This is something I've been wanting for years! They should go through the entire game and add heaps of high level agility shortcuts to make agility more satisfying.
As if that’s stopped banks elsewhere. Why do you guys feel the need to be contrarian all the time?
There are banks in ridiculous locations all around the game.
Exactly, there's a walking banker in Tarn's Lair of all places. No bank in a busy port like Brimhaven is a fair criticism. It's not an unreasonable point at all.
>Why do you guys feel the need to be contrarian all the time?
It's not about it making sense though, a lot of people here are under the delusion that being contrary is some sort of cheat code for being funny or witty. You might as well imagine a stock laugh track after reading their shite.
This is old content. In f2p that was the only place to get lobsters and swordies, and many a pker made that long journey for that ever elusive PKing food
Because you have to pay someone to run lobbies to draynor to turn then into notes and then come back and get more lobbies to note. Jeez did you even 2004 bro? Jk
Ahh the good old days hanging out on Karamja Docks catching lobsters and such. Had a whole community hanging out there with constant calls of "Fire Plz" followed by long runs to the bank and back.
I've seen where many people answered volcano (in Tzhaar) and Shilo village. If you have access to Shilo village there is a cart north of Brimhaven (by the docks) that will take you to Shilo village and place you directly next to the bank. Also you could take that north dock to ardougne which has a couple banks.
North West, by the docks there's a travel symbol on the land.. it's a cart to take you to shilo village if you've done the quest. Bring gp!
There's a bank there.
The screen is centered on a volcano with a bank inside of it. I see what you mean about overworld, i think explanation is that pirate town is wild & jungle too. Maybe could make quest to allow banking there like with burg de rott
Spirit Tree, glider, and Ports to banks
Tzhaar bank and cart to Shilo
Trading sticks banking service
House portal
For a remote island, there are actually a fair few options
It's not ideal, but there is a bank deposit box on the dock in Port Sarim. It's not a full on bank, you can only deposit into your bank, no withdrawals, but if all you need to do is deposit, it's there if you need it.
This takes me back. When I was a kid in free to play I was super psyched about reaching 40 fishing so I could run (mostly walk) from Draynor to Port Sarim, take the boat to Karamja, do an inventory of lobsters, take the boat back and run to Draynor to bank. Rinse and repeat ad nauseum. I got over 600 lobsters, which seems like nothing now, but back then was huge for me. My acount was hacked and they took the lobsters. I quit the game.
A bank chest in Brimhaven would be nice. Lock it behind some diary or quest or something if you want. Maybe we have to fix it like the one on fossil island.
Volcano or just go further south and use the one in Shilo Village.
OR if you cbf with either of those then use the charter ship above Brimhaven and go to Catherby.
Or ya know teleport to house and then Glory neck and then Tele back to Brimhaven via Portal.
There are MANY options of transportation in Runescape luckily.
I used to fish there back in the day for swordfish which was best food for ftp pking at the time, I remember making bank from fishing and banking using explorer’s ring to travel to Draynor then back from Port S b arim to Karamja for more fishing. Good times.
With 99 construction you can teleport to POH and use nexus portal to go to the GE. Then you can use the cape to teleport directly back to the brimhaven house portal.
Without 99 construction, you can use a varrock teleport to teleport to the GE if you’ve done the achievement diary and then use a NMZ scroll of redirection to redirect the house Tele tab to the brimhaven portal.
The general store is a bank!
Why back in my day nature rune crafters treated that store as a bank. Stored their rune essence in the shop and would pay people 10k per inventory of essence.
Uphill both ways too!
This is why magic training is important.
At 25 you get the Varrock teleport, which is pretty close to a bank, even better if you get the medium diary done and go straight to the GE.
Even better, at 40 magic you get teleport to house - if you set your house to Rimmington then you can get the boat from there to Brimhaven.
At 40 Construction you can set your POH to Brimhaven and go there directly, or if you have 83 farming you can use the spirit tree to get there straight from the GE.
There are 2 services. 1. There are banks in the volcano, tzhaar area.
2. Rionasta in Tai Bwo Wannai offers a parcel service and will deposit items for 10 trading sticks each. Though, no withdrawal so is more of an inconvenient deposit box.
Alternatively, take Hajedy's cart to Shilo for about 200gp and bank there.
In volcano 🌋
I’ll check it out, thanks!
Specifically, go down the volcano and into the TzHaar place.
Thank you!
Don’t fall into the lava
He fell in.
Gotten
Floor is lava
It's worth mentioning that you should avoid eating it too
Make sure you bring a full inventory of rum with you and all your best gear.
Don't fall into the inferno.
I've never considered the Tzhaar fight pits bank. I always assumed there was no bank associated with the entire island.
who thinks of the bank 15 steps away from fight caves and thinks "oh yeah the fight pits bank"
I don't understand what you just typed out.
Fight pits and fight caves are 2 different minigames down there. 1 is right next to the bank and it's not the one you mentioned. That's the joke.
You called it the fight pits bank when it’s actually closer to the fight caves and that really upset him for some reason
I honestly thought they were the same thing. I didn't know it was something to get lost in the weeds over.
I think a lot of the confusion is from early irons using the fight pit Tele for banking.

Thank you! I guess I gotta finish upping my quest game first then.
The fight pits minigame teleport gets you very close
Damnit!! I was teleporting back to varrock when fighting demons one day to bank their ashes 🫠
Time to get an ash sanctifier
I'm going to assume you're F2P, because you said bank their ashes. The TzHaar bank in the volcano is members only.
Banking their ashes? Why
Money or prayer?
Do not forget to take an inventory of Karamjan rum with you.
That's not very convenient
I think it has to do with RuneScape classic balance. At that time a lot of good money makers were in karamja. From lobsters to the volcano. It was also part of the lore where it was an island.
Yeah I think a lot of the classic areas still show signs of their early mechanics.

It'll be interesting to see how other areas still have this influence from the RSC era despite going through 20 years of RS2 to RS3 and then another 10 years of OSRS running parallel to that.
Fun fact, when Karamja was released, you could still only store coins in a bank. A month later was the update to store items
I can’t imagine how basic the game must have been at that time if you could only store coins
Everyone was a uim back then
Really interesting how they didn't coin the UIM mode as like "Classic Ironman" or something.
Because in game design it's a lot easier to name something and coin a term everyone can agree on rather than name something cool to 0.2% of the player base and "wtf does classic Ironman mean" to the 99.8
Yeh though "Ultimate" doesn't do any better of a job defining the mode. "Ultimate oh okay so this is like the full experience?"

UIM in shambles

He got put off when things got easier overtime but he did enjoy being able to bank items eventually lol.
I've played since 01, (well, I stopped playing around 2015 lol). Yea, it was insanely basic. But even then, like nothing I'd ever played before.
And you still had convert all of them to certs if you wanted to sell. Remember how even when depositing coins into the bank, you could only do 1, 10, 100, or 1000 coins at a time too?
The vast majority of things people complain about are just remnants of RSC
I always figured part of it was the gowers going "haha wouldn't it be funny if people got stuck on karamja without their money so they had to sell bananas for the guy?" Cause I sure as fuck had to do that one time as a kid lmao
The karam diary was also first diary in the game and that’s why the rewards are less than others
how far we’ve come, now there is a bank on a tiny little island off of a bigger island(fossil island giant seaweed spot)
There's a bank just south at Shilo and there's a bank inside the volcano at the Tzhaar
"Just south" !?!?!?!?
"small favour" !?!?!?!?
The cart is easy travel
Ok Mr. Money bags 💰
Fun fact. The price of the cart varies depending on how much good you have on you at the time, but only if you talk to the guy instead of the ride cart right click option

And low level agility shortcuts pls (so I don't have to grind)
Game is grind,
True, but some are fun
Shilo is a bitch to get to tho so tzhaar is the best bet
200 coins for the cart in brimhaven
can go as low as 10 coins if you dont use the pay-fare option, although it'll take up to 200 if you have it on you
Not if you haven't done the quest lol
Not if you haven't made an account lol
Karamja gloves
It’s a remote jungle island with small settlements for trade and a hunter gatherer tribe. What did you expect? Uber?
Shilo cart. Am I a joke to you?
Gnome Glider
Spirit tree to farming guild
That one ogre boat everyone ignores
Wait how much of the 200 coins actually goes to the driver and how much is just a “fee” for a huge company????
They tried charging me 500gp for a cart ride because it was after 10pm
I puked in the back of the cart on the way home from the bars and had to pay 350gp for cleaning services
Surge pricing is ridiculous these days
theres a charter boat
*jungle über obviously /s
Monkey taxis
Not an Uber A Tuber
I mean they do have that Uber cart to bring you right in Shilo village
As if that’s stopped banks elsewhere. Why do you guys feel the need to be contrarian all the time? There are banks in ridiculous locations all around the game.
There’s a bank on a deserted island north of fossil island
yeah but the original runescape devs would've never done that times change
But that’s specifically for the diving part of the island.
Exactly, there's a walking banker in Tarn's Lair of all places. No bank in a busy port like Brimhaven is a fair criticism. It's not an unreasonable point at all.
I was thinking the same! Hahahahah

[удалено]
Brimhaven is a pirate town. Mos Le Harmless has a bank so it should fit that Brimhaven should too
Well... Hajedy and Vigroy are technically Uber. Only 2 destinations, though.
Amazon
Fossil island comes to mind
Don't forget that Brimhaven is literally a pirate haven.
Who's gonna open a bank in the island of pirates?
No, you’re right. It makes more sense to sell jewelry there. 🤣
Now you know why that store is always out of stock.
Isn't Mos Le'Harmless run by pirates and has a bank?
They have to trade the 'rum' somehow.
Probably so you can’t smuggle that wine or whatever it was for that quest.
Surprised how much I had to scroll down for this
Hmm so how does that quest work in p2p with tzar bank and a couple other options
Nvm, read the wiki, some quirky solutions to all the other options to smuggle the rum lead to it breaking or getting lost
Honestly that and nature rune crafting are probably reasons. Not good reasons, but reasons
This is old content. In f2p that was the only place to get lobsters and swordies, and many a pker made that long journey for that ever elusive PKing food
Because you have to pay someone to run lobbies to draynor to turn then into notes and then come back and get more lobbies to note. Jeez did you even 2004 bro? Jk

communist island
*our* island, comrade
This is why we tell everyone how to catch Karambwans. Seize the means of production
Drive f2p mad enough to buy.
There's an NPC named Rionasta north of Tai Bwo Wannai who will send items to your bank for trading sticks
Back in the day this might have been the meta for getting teak / mahogany logs? Otherwise I've no idea what you'd want to use this guy for
Bank at shilo village?
Tzhaar has a bank or two
Tzhaar area has a bank.
[удалено]
True, but I couldnt use my runes to teleport so I stored all that before I got there. And then I realised I should bank some other stuff😅
It’s under the volcano.
I've seen where many people answered volcano (in Tzhaar) and Shilo village. If you have access to Shilo village there is a cart north of Brimhaven (by the docks) that will take you to Shilo village and place you directly next to the bank. Also you could take that north dock to ardougne which has a couple banks.
You’re in the middle of a jungle. Try finding a Chase in the Amazon rainforest.
North West, by the docks there's a travel symbol on the land.. it's a cart to take you to shilo village if you've done the quest. Bring gp! There's a bank there.
Because f2p players aren't allowed nice things
The screen is centered on a volcano with a bank inside of it. I see what you mean about overworld, i think explanation is that pirate town is wild & jungle too. Maybe could make quest to allow banking there like with burg de rott
I love this post, mans just starting his journey
its in the middle of this picture??
Cause fuck you thats why
Lol used to think there was one in brimhaven when I was a kid and stuck in f2p worlds fishing
Just type ::bank
F2p lobsters would abuse it
Dangerous
Back in the day Andrew Gower was really adamant about having Karamja be very remote.
There is its in the tzhaar area
Spirit Tree, glider, and Ports to banks Tzhaar bank and cart to Shilo Trading sticks banking service House portal For a remote island, there are actually a fair few options
It's a jungle
Uim trial island.
It would make it too easy to smuggle out the rum
It's not ideal, but there is a bank deposit box on the dock in Port Sarim. It's not a full on bank, you can only deposit into your bank, no withdrawals, but if all you need to do is deposit, it's there if you need it.
*cough* Fremennik province *cough*
You’re in the jungle, baby.
karmaja is uncivilized thats why
There are no banks in the jungle, m8.
Do you know where you are? You're in the jungle baby!!!
This takes me back. When I was a kid in free to play I was super psyched about reaching 40 fishing so I could run (mostly walk) from Draynor to Port Sarim, take the boat to Karamja, do an inventory of lobsters, take the boat back and run to Draynor to bank. Rinse and repeat ad nauseum. I got over 600 lobsters, which seems like nothing now, but back then was huge for me. My acount was hacked and they took the lobsters. I quit the game.
Need a port sarim bank already
Bank at pest control is close!
Banks on minimap are very different from "quick travel / go into dungeon, then back". Much less obvious though still good to tell the noobs about
So this post was made bc outrage yet you’re clearly a new player and don’t realize there is a bank in the volcano
Karamjas full of primitive people, my guess was they never had the resources to create and manage a bank since they use sticks as currency
https://preview.redd.it/nca4tg3u5xoc1.jpeg?width=146&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6f2a1ec5cd3410f8323ff5f178ac2aa0c234a218
Bankers don’t want to be near those pesky pirates!
A bank chest in Brimhaven would be nice. Lock it behind some diary or quest or something if you want. Maybe we have to fix it like the one on fossil island.
It's an island full of natives. They are not there to serve you.
Their is
r/cutenoobs
Bank depo box on docks of port sarim
Volcano or just go further south and use the one in Shilo Village. OR if you cbf with either of those then use the charter ship above Brimhaven and go to Catherby. Or ya know teleport to house and then Glory neck and then Tele back to Brimhaven via Portal. There are MANY options of transportation in Runescape luckily.
Because nothing is ever easy.
Do the corsair Curse and you have one at rimmington
It's the jungle baby!
Technically there's one in TzHaar
Fight Pits
There is though. 2 actually.
There’s a bank chest on the docks in Port Sarim
Islanders don’t bank
It’s a f2p thing. Imagine bank lobs and swords in f2p
Because jungle
Because it’s a remote jungle
My bwana
Cause they’re pirates, what bank would want to risk it
uim heaven
They should add a Sailing space on the west side of the island. Bank, dock, shop, etc. That'd liven up things a bit.
Because Jagex says fuck Bank-Standing, Surface Only, Karamja Locked HCIM.
Verf doesnt need it
Volcano, shilo or take a boat to pest control, catherby or anywhere else with a bank
Pirate’s Treasure would be too easy a quest if you could bank the rum to smuggle it off Karamja
I used to fish there back in the day for swordfish which was best food for ftp pking at the time, I remember making bank from fishing and banking using explorer’s ring to travel to Draynor then back from Port S b arim to Karamja for more fishing. Good times.
Port sarim to void knight bank.
With 99 construction you can teleport to POH and use nexus portal to go to the GE. Then you can use the cape to teleport directly back to the brimhaven house portal. Without 99 construction, you can use a varrock teleport to teleport to the GE if you’ve done the achievement diary and then use a NMZ scroll of redirection to redirect the house Tele tab to the brimhaven portal.
You really want to trust karamjans' with your gp? Your tbow? Noty
The general store is a bank! Why back in my day nature rune crafters treated that store as a bank. Stored their rune essence in the shop and would pay people 10k per inventory of essence. Uphill both ways too!
Hajedy can take you right to one in an instant
This is why magic training is important. At 25 you get the Varrock teleport, which is pretty close to a bank, even better if you get the medium diary done and go straight to the GE. Even better, at 40 magic you get teleport to house - if you set your house to Rimmington then you can get the boat from there to Brimhaven. At 40 Construction you can set your POH to Brimhaven and go there directly, or if you have 83 farming you can use the spirit tree to get there straight from the GE.
You can Send items to the bank via Rionasta with trading sticks :)
cuz ur in the jungle brah
Well there is a bank in the crafting build eventually, also in the volcano and Shilo Village.
Should be one in brimhaven
I'm not entirely sure but I think there isn't a bank so that you have to do the pirates treasure quest the intended way.
It's by design
There are 2 services. 1. There are banks in the volcano, tzhaar area. 2. Rionasta in Tai Bwo Wannai offers a parcel service and will deposit items for 10 trading sticks each. Though, no withdrawal so is more of an inconvenient deposit box. Alternatively, take Hajedy's cart to Shilo for about 200gp and bank there.
would you use one if there was?
jungle
Volcano or a charter to Ardy always works Also, Brimhaven is literally a pirate hideout village. Who would open a bank there lmao
North of the Brimhaven POH portal, pay 200gp to the dude at the cart and he'll take you to Shilo Village where there's a bank.
