Inventory

Look it up in Palia Pal

The Inventory refers only to the Items section of the Player Menu Inventory Tab and displays all items carried by The Player.

Mechanics

The Inventory can be accessed via the player menu by using key on PC ( on Switch), or via the quick access key / on PC; Inventory is the first item on the Switch menu, so clicking after could be quick.

The Inventory is divided into four parts, via clickable tabs, with a fifth unique mechanic, as follows:

Backpack

The Backpack, identified by the Sack icon, is the default section of the Inventory that displays all items carried by the Player, except Ammo, Quest Items, and Currencies.

The Player will start off with limited access to Backpack slots, with the option to purchase additional slots via upgrades from the General Store.

Ammo Pouch

The Ammo Pouch, identified by the Arrowhead icon, is the section of the Inventory that displays all Ammo carried by the Player.

The Player will start off with limited access to Ammo Pouch slots, with the option to purchase additional slots via upgrades from the General Store.

Quest Pouch

The Quest Pouch, identified by the Exclamation Mark icon, is the section of the Inventory that displays all Quest Items carried by the Player.

All slots for the Quest Pouch are fully unlocked, and there is no item limit to the Quest Pouch, so no upgrades for additional slots are required.

Currency Pouch

The Currency Pouch, identified by the Coin icon, is the section of the Inventory that displays all Currency carried by the player. This tab automatically updates with new Currencies whenever they are added to the game.

All slots for the Currency Pouch are pre-set for each type of Currency available in-game. These items do not take up standard inventory space, meaning the Player can accumulate them with no concerns over storage management. Each item does, however, have its own individual maximum cap.

Courier Pet

The Courier Pet function is a mechanic that allows the player to send items from specific rows and slots in their inventory back to their Storage on their Housing Plot without the need to go back home. The Courier Pet function can be identified by a turquoise-colored bubble with a paw print and an arrow, placed to the right side of each inventory row. Each item highlighted in a turquoise color will be sent home by your beloved pet. After each use, there will be a 10 minute cooldown before it can be used again.

Using the Courier Pet function requires the player to have a Pet equipped, along with having the function itself unlocked. Four Courier slots can be unlocked for free by completing the quest The Nurture of Shadows. Eight additional slots can be obtained by paid purchase from the Premium Store: Four slots can be obtained from the Founder's Pack, and another four can be obtained by purchasing either the Highlands Supporter Pack or the Royal Highlands Supporter Pack. However, buying both of the latter two will not provide the player with 8 total slots, only four additional courier pet slots will be granted.

Inventory Overflow

Once all the inventory slots are taken, the inventory will turn red to indicate that no further slots are available. Should you pick up a new item, the overflow warning will trigger, and the item will be placed in a temporary Overflow bar at the bottom of your Inventory pane. When the Overflow bar is full, the next item put into Overflow will push the oldest item out and send it to your General Storage at home. If General Storage is full, the item will be deposited anyway, placing your home storage in an overflow state (e.g., 10,025/10,000 items) where new items cannot be manually placed in storage until space is freed.

To remove an item from the Overflow bar, you may free an item slot in your Backpack by discarding or storing an item or by combining item stacks, if applicable, then move the item from the Overflow bar into the Backpack.

Discarding Items

To discard an item from the inventory, drag it over the small bin Trash can in the lower left corner of the inventory screen. Alternatively you can select the item by clicking it once, then clicking on the trash can. This will destroy the item permanently and cannot be reversed.

Build 0.169:

  • Dev Update September 2023:
    • We have seen a lot of feedback around managing bag inventory when players are out in the world. To save you some trips back and forth to your housing plot, we are adding separate places for you to store ammo, bait, and quest items, called “pouches”. There will be two different pouches, an Ammo & Bait pouch and a Quest Item pouch. You will be able to manage the items in these pouches by simply toggling to dedicated tabs in your Player Menu. When created or looted, Ammo & Bait and Quest Items will go directly to these dedicated pouches; no management required. You start with one complete row of dedicated ammo and bait slots.
      • Ammo & Bait pouch upgrades will be purchasable with gold through Zeki’s General Store, and will add additional rows of ammo and bait inventory just like the backpack upgrades. When Players have purchased all of these, they’ll have a total of 40 available ammo and bait slots.
      • However, the Quest Item pouch has unlimited capacity. You will no longer need to worry about Quest Item management at all, and will be able to carry all quest items on your person at all times. Look forward to us starting to implement this feature in the next few patches!
