This lovely piggy-bank takes your coins with a PUSH and can send them to the bank from ANYWHERE, even in the rift! Changes in appearance as well as you deposit.

Heavily Scripted little thing.

Have to wait in between PUSHING coins in (About 5-10 seconds)

Takes about 50-250 coins per PUSH

WAVE it when it gets hot to send coins to your bank from anywhere.

It gets HEAVY with all that silver! (20 pounds at about 5k?)

Can send to your bank 3 times a day if I remember correctly

(one of 3 if I also remember correctly in the game) From auction

MB: 10 mil or $70

CB: 10 mil Mr. Dallas, Sold, Contact me VIA mail or AIM: Dranjohn

ONCE, TWICE, SOLD
Advancing every 24 hour period.


I truncated some of the pushing of coin to spare you headaches :P

Examine -
The bank is basically a small box topped by a three-dimensional scene, all crafted in metal. The jointed toy washerwoman figure seems poised to move.
There's a narrow slot, just the right size for coins, on the side.
It looks as if you could PUSH your bank, to feed some silvers into it.

>weight bank
You carefully examine the toy washerwoman bank and determine that the weight is about 2 pounds.
Roundtime: 5 sec.
>push bank
R>
As more coins drop in, the metal washerwoman bends at the waist and pulls a square of the laundry on its wire down into the basket at her feet. The poles tip lower and lower.
R>
With the last of the 250 silvers, the poles lie flat again. The little figure straightens up with her hands on her hips, her job complete.
>push bank
As you add 50 more coins to the bank, the little metal scene on top is reenacted once again.
>push bank
Your coins won't fit in the slot until the toy bank finishes resetting. Give it a few seconds.
>push bank
As you add 150 more coins to the bank, the little metal scene on top is reenacted once again.
>push bank
As you add 200 more coins to the bank, the little metal scene on top is reenacted once again.
>shake bank
You give your bank a good shake and hear the pleasing sound of silvers jingling within.

Your vigorous shaking gives you a glimpse of the bottom of your bank.
You notice it isn't completely smooth, and that you could TILT the bank to get a better look.
As you push the first coins in, your toy washerwoman bank makes a series of clicks, buzzes and whirs, as if a complex mechanism within has been set in motion.

Suddenly the top of the bank flips to reveal a totally different scene, and the new top surface locks into place with a crisp "Snap!"

The toy washerwoman bank is now a toy gnome smith bank!
>

As you insert more coins into the toy bank, a squat gnome apprentice lifts his arm, connected by a wire leading to bellows beside a red enameled little forge. The heavily muscled gnome blacksmith beside him raises a hammer.
>
As more coins drop in, the little smith strikes the shiny ingot on his anvil with a metallic "ding!" The apprentice pulls the bellows while cut-out flame shapes move up and down in the forge, crudely imitating a roaring blaze.
(At about 3000 silver, weighs 10'sh)
>
With the last of the 100 silvers, both little figures stop their work and rotate to face each other, lifting ale mugs in a toast.


Your heavy bank begins to hum loudly with a steady vibration, and soon becomes uncomfortably hot! Perhaps waving it would cool it off.
>wave bank

As you wave your bank, it feels suddenly cooler and lighter and the humming vibration ceases.

A faint whisper tells you that 5050 silvers have been magically transferred from your toy gnome smith bank to your United Bank of City-States account. New balance: XXXXXXXX silvers.

You tap a veniom-edged toy gnome smith bank, which is in your left hand.

As you push the first coins in, your toy gnome smith bank makes a series of clicks, buzzes and whirs, as if a complex mechanism within has been set in motion.

Suddenly the top of the bank flips to reveal a totally different scene, and the new top surface locks into place with a crisp "Snap!"

The toy gnome smith bank is now a toy woodsman bank!

As you insert more coins into the toy bank, a tall tree trunk springs up and the woodsman raises his axe. A bear figure near one corner of the bank moves to one side, sitting down as if to watch.
>

As more coins drop in, the woodsman figure stiffly chops away at the trunk. Hinged at the point where he strikes, the tree's top tips over a bit further, leaning toward the bear.
>
With the last of the 100 silvers, the woodsman strikes his last blow. The tree falls, and the bear jerks quickly aside, jaws opening with a growl-like grinding metal sound.

Fact.

EDIT: I'm not seeing anywhere in the post where it lists the max amount you can transfer a day. 15k, I think?

I'm thinking 15k a day, yes... based on what I found from playing with it :)

PROTIP: 03-22-2010 06:50 AM whoever- learn your fucking nominitive[sic] case before you call someone retarded, fuckstick

I've been using whomever wrong for years! However, the coward misspelling nominative made me lulz.

GM Jessine coded it with SGM Krilcan guiding her as she was a new coder at the time.

The scripts rock, but its damn limited.

I would post and see if the amount can be improved upon. Worth a shot, anyway. 100k a day would be useful, at least. A few hunts, instead of part of 1.

Even up in the rift (which is probably where it would be most useful) 15k a day is 1-2 runs in just coin from looting, not including the boxes.

I actually like this toy. I would have paid up to 15 million for it, if I had extra silvers at the time.

Unique things in GS aren't as common as they used to be.
