Guild Bank

A ledger for your group gold: track who holds it, log where it came from, split boost-run payouts fairly, and see what every booster is still owed.

In short

The Guild Bank is a ledger for your group's gold: who's holding it, where it came from, and how a boost run's pot gets split. Every finished run also rolls into an Owed tab, so any booster can check their running balance without digging through past payouts.

The Views

ViewWhat it is
BalancesEvery gold holder, a character, a bank alt, the guild bank itself, and what they're holding, with your total treasury on top.
IncomeA log of where gold came from: boosts, donations, sales. Each entry can carry a screenshot or a log link as proof.
PayoutsSplit a boost run's pot. Enter the total, take the guild's cut and any named advertiser or expense cuts off the top, divide the rest between the boosters, then mark each person paid as you go.
OwedA running rollup of what the bank owes each booster (and any named advertiser or other cut) across every finished run: earned, paid, and still owed, with a total at the top. Read-only.
RequestsMembers ask for gold with a reason. Admins approve, deny, or mark it paid, and the right holder's balance updates.
SettingsAdmin-only. Your standing cut percentages, default split, and an optional treasury goal to save toward.

Splitting a Boost Run

1

Enter the pot and the cuts

Set the total gold the run brought in, then take out the guild's cut and any named advertiser or expense cuts.

2

Split what's left between boosters

Divide the remainder evenly or by weight across everyone who ran it.

3

Finalize and mark people paid

Tick each booster off as you actually pay them. Every step can be undone if you get one wrong.

Seeing What You're Owed

Once a payout is finalized, its shares stop being a one-time number and start counting toward a running balance.

  • The Owed tab lists every booster, plus any advertiser or other cut you gave a name to, with what they've earned, what they've been paid, and what's still outstanding, summed across every finished run.
  • The Requests tab flags it for you. If the bank owes you gold, a banner offers Request full balance, which fills in your exact outstanding amount. It only ever counts gold tied to your own claimed character, so it can't pick up someone else's cut.
  • It only comes from Payouts. Owed has no edit controls of its own. To change a number, go back into the payout and toggle that person's paid status.
How a cut becomes money someone is owed

When you split a payout, a cut can be categorized as the guild's own share, an advertiser's cut, or another expense. Give an advertiser or other cut a name, and it's treated as money owed to that person, tracked right alongside the boosters on the Owed tab. Leave the name blank, and it's a plain expense instead, off the books once it's taken.

Good to Know

  • Members can ask, admins decide. Any member can submit a gold request and see their own. Adding or editing balances, income, payouts, and settings is admin-only.
  • Owed is open to everyone. Unlike the other views, the Owed tab needs no admin permission, it's a plain, read-only report any member can check.
  • Keep proof attached. Income entries and requests can hold screenshots and a Warcraft Logs link, so the receipt lives next to the number.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between the Owed tab and a gold request?
Owed is a read-only running total of what the bank owes every booster across all finished boost runs. A request is how you actually ask for that gold, and its Request full balance button fills in your exact owed amount for you.
Does the Guild Bank read my gold from the game automatically?
No. Admins type balances and income in by hand, so it's a shared record your team keeps, not a live mirror of your in-game gold.
Who can see the Owed tab?
Every member. It's read-only for everyone, including admins. To clear a balance, pay that person from the Payouts view, their Owed row updates once they're marked paid.
Can an advertiser's cut show up as owed too?
Yes. Give an advertiser or other cut a name when you split the payout and it's tracked as owed to that person right alongside the boosters. A cut left nameless counts as a plain expense instead.
