I'd like to see a way to pay (at least) Ilithi debt in Fang Cove.

Agreed: It is rather inconvenient to have to run all the way to Ilithi to pay for Yrisa's fees. It seems to me that since so much of the Fang Cove bank is underground, it would be simple to add a room or niche to handle debts, local or otherwise.

The BANK verb allows for remotely viewing and managing your bank accounts and provincial debts.

Premium subscribers have free, unrestricted access to the ACCOUNT and DEBT options.

Syntax:
BANK DEBT {PROVINCE} {#}: Send a runner to designated province to settle debts. (You must be carrying the necessary funds on you.)

Also:

You also see a sign.

PREMIUM DEBT COLLECTION SERVICES

For our esteemed Estate Holders, we are pleased to offer a
new service where we will pay your debts in distant lands!
There is a 5% fee on the debt you wish to pay in order to
use this service, with a minimum fee of a silver. Please
understand that all costs are in the currency of the area
whose debt you wish to pay off.

(yes, there is a 5% fee for the one IN fang cove, but you can use the BANK command to pay debt pretty much anywhere)

GRIM45 covered it -- this already exists, twice.

The original: Premium banking facilities with foreign exchange offices allow you to pay debt, even in remote provinces. Fang Cove's bank has a Foreign Exchange area, and the sign there gives the syntax.

And the newer: The BANK option is free for Premium players because of the original. Premium players already had access to remote debt payments, so when the verb was released we maintained that perk for Premium players.

Thanks, had been told about the verb but that it required a purchase. I didn't realize it was a premium perk. Both methods leave non-premies out, but guess that doesn't matter.

Honestly one of the better QOL things about premium. Half the time I just do bank debt after finishing a hunt and having random change, and it covers me for most situations.

Can the lazy factor increased so when using the BANK DEBT command the currency is automatically converted to the target provinces currency, or have it pull directly from an account in that province?
