What is the bank and how does it operate?

The bank is a place that allows you to store you Kiro Points. Your Kiro Points gain 1% of interest daily while they are in the bank. Interest must be collected daily in order to collect your interest in Kiro Points. However you must collect your interest everyday or it will be lost.

For example, if you have 100 KP in your bank account, it will earn per day:

100 x 0.01 = 1 KP

Over a period of a week you have the potential to earn if collected each day:

100 x 0.01 x 7 = 7 KP

If you have 10,000 KP in your bank account, you will earn per day:

10,000 x 0.01 = 100 KP

Over a period of a week you have the potential to earn if collected each day:

10,000 x 0.01 x 7 = 700 KP

This is a way for members to make more KP. To access the bank, click on Shops in the sidebar and then click on Bank. Tip: Put as much KP as possible into your Bank account before collecting it, then collect your interest for the whole value.

How do I collect items?
