How do you organize your stuff? On bank chars? Any best practices?

Hello community,

today, I wanna raise a topic, in which I repeatedly have a crisis It's about "how to organize my stuff on bank chars".

Although, Blizzard has made our lives much easier with the newly add-on and many “quality of life changes” for collecting, sorting an stacking items, I am always thinking about how to optimize all the other stuff I have collected so far.

I have a total of 20 characters, about half of which I actively play. The other half are just bank chars, where I store items that I may need later - e.g. bases, charms, gems, ...

Currently, I have organized myself as follows
- class specific items are usually stored at the same class chars
- not class specific items are stored on my bank chars, grouped by charms, bases, bases with runewords and uniques, which are additionally grouped by item type
- the shared stash is full of temporary loot and items, that I need in certain situations and want to be able to access quickly

It's okay, but.. when I trade anything, sometimes I have to switch between a dozen characters before I find the right one.

Therefore I am interested in what is your way of organizing your items?

my organization is TERRIBLE.
i have 2 set mules
2 "base/runeword" mules
and the rest is pure YOLO lol. I started off with like a mule paladin for paladin gear, etc but that fell apart very fast. now it's just "take 20 minutes to try and find that one pair of frostburns you found and decided to keep like a month ago"

Now with the new stash tabs I need fewer mules:
1 for high runewords, 1 for helmets and body armor, 1 for gloves and

Boots, 1 for items that 1 wanna sell, 1 for MF items, 1 for bases. In the past, when space was rarer, I even leveld my mules to at least level 70 so that they store some items on their bodies. The rest of the (class-specific) items are on chars that I actually play or have played.

shared stash:
1 tab for rings, amus, torches, annis etc.
1 tab for charms and jewels
1 tab for items I want to sell
1 tab for items I want to drop in a free game
