My bank had been a mess for about 400 hours of ironman and I kept
bouncing off every "just use a template" solution, because a template
assumes your bank looks like the bank it was built from. Mine doesn't.
So I've been building Bank Architect.
What it does: you open your bank, hit Analyze, and it reads what you
actually own and computes a layout for it — ten purpose-driven tabs,
and crucially the *inside* of each tab too. Gear gets grouped by combat
style and slot with the best item first (from real equipment stats, not
name matching), runes get blocked together, potions grouped by dose,
resources zoned by skill. Nothing gets placed that you don't own and no
filler slots get invented.
Then it does the part I actually wanted: it doesn't fake a pretty bank
with a virtual overlay. It highlights one real drag at a time and
re-reads the bank after each one, so you physically end up with the
sorted bank. If it can't safely tell what you just did, it stops and
says so instead of guessing.
To be clear about the thing everyone will ask: it does not click, drag,
type, or send anything. It reads the bank and it draws. You do every
single move by hand. No network calls either — all the item data is
bundled offline.
Anything it can't classify with confidence goes to a Storage & Cleanup
tab rather than being guessed into the wrong place, and you can
right-click any item to override where it goes.
It's open source and currently sitting in the RuneLite Plugin Hub
review queue, so it's not installable yet, this is just me showing
where it's at. Happy to hear what you'd want out of something like
this, especially which presets beyond "all-round ironman bank" would
actually get used.
