Piggy Bank

The Piggy Bank is a portable, personal storage item. Like other storage items (eg. Chests), it contains 40 slots (4 rows of 10) that can be used to store anything, however it has the unique ability (along with the Safe) to be carried while it contains items. Its contents also travel with your character if you enter a different world. It is a good place to store your coins, keeping them safe from enemies or other players.

It requires only 2 horizontal tile spaces for placement, and must be placed on a Work Bench, Table, or Wood Platform. The Piggy Bank is sold by the Merchant for.

Differences from Chests
The Piggy Bank (as well as the Safe) functions similarly to other storage items, but with some important differences:


 * Each Piggy Bank contains the same items (when accessed by the same character), no matter where they are placed within the world. Purchasing multiple Piggy Banks will not give you more space, but will offer more points of access to your Piggy Bank contents.
 * The Piggy Bank inventory can be accessed via the Money Trough.
 * The Piggy Bank can be picked up even when it contains items. This makes it a viable way to expand your character's Inventory slots. Note that a Table, Workbench, or set of 2 Wood Platforms will be required to place the Piggy Bank and add/remove items from it. It can be freed again with a Pickaxe.
 * The Piggy Bank's contents are saved with your character data, instead of the World data. You keep its contents with you from world to world, and from server to server.
 * The Piggy Bank's contents are exclusive to each player, so other players will not have access to items you store there. This makes it useful for item security on PvP servers where stealing is allowed.
 * Multiple players can use the same Piggy Banks without having access to each others items. Each player will only see their own items when accessing the same Piggy Banks.

Tips

 * Keep a piggy bank in your inventory and place it any time to access additional inventory. Keep a safe inside the piggy bank and have even more personal storage available.
 * Using a Money Trough allows the Piggy Bank to act as a backpack as long as the Piggy bank is not full. This can also prevent you from losing any money while away from home.
 * Money stored in the Piggy Bank and the Safe are added together and are available when purchasing things from NPCs. The total money stored in the two is visible as Savings to the right of a NPC shop window.
