Inventory and Bags explains the room your character has for items. Your character carries items in the Item window's five tabs. MapleVerse gives far more room than the original game: bigger starting tabs, much bigger stacks, two extra bags shared by every character on your account, and storage of 1,000 slots.
Tabs and their size
- The Item window has five tabs: Equip, Use, Set-up, Etc and Cash.
- Starting size: Equip 60, Use 96, Set-up 48, Etc 96, Cash 96 slots.
- Characters made before the tabs were enlarged were raised to the new sizes automatically. Anyone who already had more slots kept them.
- Once a tab owns more than 96 slots, the expanded Item window shows the extra slots on further pages.
- Omok Sets and A Set of Match Cards sit in the Set-up tab, not Etc. Casey makes them.
Getting more slots
| Way | Slots | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expansion button in the Cash Shop's inventory view (one per tab) | +4 | 400 VX | Equip, Use, Set-up or Etc; up to 999 per tab |
| Add Equip Slots (Cash Shop, ETC tab, Game section) | +8 | 640 VX | Grows the tab at once |
| Add Use Slots | +8 | 680 VX | |
| Add ETC Slots | +8 | 680 VX |
- There is no Set-up coupon. Set-up grows only with the +4 button.
- The Cash tab cannot be expanded.
- Add Storage Slots is also listed, but storage is already at its 1,000-slot maximum, so the shop refuses it.
- The Storage Keeper's "Expand my inventory" option only points you to the Cash Shop.
- Prices are in VX. Maple Points can pay instead when they cover the price on their own.
How much stacks in one slot
Almost every stackable item now holds up to 9,999 per slot. That includes potions and other Use items, every upgrade scroll (including the 100% event scrolls such as Agent Equipment Scroll 100%, which used to take one slot each), the White Scroll, Etc monster loot, ores and crafting materials, and Set-up items that stack.
These do not change:
- Equipment, which still takes one slot per item, as always.
- Items that come one per slot, such as pets, most chairs and some one-off tickets.
- Ammunition: throwing stars, bullets and arrows keep their original stack sizes, because that size is also how far a star or bullet stack is recharged.
Scroll Bag (F9)
A bag shared by every character on your account. Open it with F9. You can also drag its key from Keyboard Settings to any key. The tile is called "Scroll Bag".
- It holds equip upgrade scrolls, the White Scroll, and skill books and mastery books.
- Tabs: All, Scrolls, Books.
- Holds 200 stacks.
- Click an item to move it between the bag (top) and what you carry (bottom).
- The window has Store All and Take All buttons. Gather and Sort, next to Close, tidy the bag.
- A Search box on the bag's heading row finds items by name: type part of a name and both the bag (top) and what you carry (bottom) show only the matches, within the tab you picked. Press Enter or Esc to leave the box. The search clears when you close the bag.
- Messages you may see: "Your Scroll Bag is full." and "You aren't carrying any scrolls or books."
Maker Bag (F10)
A second bag shared by your whole account. Its default key is F10. In Keyboard Settings, its tile is called "Maker Bag".
- It holds every Maker item: mining and mineral ores, refined plates and jewels and crystals, Maker gems (reagents), Monster Crystals, every material a Maker recipe uses, stimulators and other Maker inputs, crafting parts (Screws, Processed Wood, Piece of Ice, feathers and similar), and Forging and Production Manuals.
- Equipment never goes in.
- Tabs: All, Ores, Refined, Other.
- Holds 200 stacks.
- Its buttons are the same as the Scroll Bag's: click to move, Store All, Take All, Gather (squeezes the gaps out) and Sort, and the same Search box.
- Messages you may see: "Your Maker Bag is full." and "You aren't carrying any Maker items."
- For the Maker skill itself, see Maker Skill Quest Guide.
Favourites (the star)
- The star button sits one step left of the Gather and Sort buttons at the top of the Item window.
- Click it to turn favourite mode on. While it is lit, clicking an item stars or unstars it instead of picking it up.
- Starred items wear a small gold star in the top-right corner of their slot.
- Gather and Sort leave starred items where they are and fill around them.
- Shop Sell All never sells a starred item. See Selling and Buying Rules.
- A starred equip keeps its star while you wear it. The star is back on the bag slot when you take it off.
- Dragging a starred item out of the Item window onto the ground asks first: "(item name) is starred. Drop it anyway?" Choose No to keep it.
- Closing the Item window turns favourite mode off, so items work normally the next time you open it.
Throwing stars and bullets at 0
- An empty throwing-star or bullet stack stays in your bag at 0, so a shop can recharge it.
- You can also drop an empty stack, or sell it to a shop. See Selling and Buying Rules for what a shop pays.
- Shops have a Recharge All button under SELL ITEM.
- Sell All never sells star or bullet stacks.
Items that skip the bag
Monster cards never take a slot. They are used the moment you pick them up and go straight into your Monster Book. Some event pick-ups that take effect instantly work the same way. So "inventory full" never applies to picking up a card.
One-of-a-kind items
Some items are one-of-a-kind: you can hold only one, in the bag or worn.
A quest whose guaranteed reward is a one-of-a-kind item you already hold refuses the hand-in. The NPC says something like Please check if you already have a similar one-of-a-kind item in your inventory. You keep your quest items. Use or get rid of the copy you hold, then hand in again.
Examples players hit are the Scroll of Secrets, where the quest itself says you may only hold one at a time, and the Heart Chocolate (see Valentine's Day Heart Chocolate Quest Guide).
Random-pick rewards are not checked this way. Only guaranteed rewards are.
Getting rid of items you can't drop or sell
Shops never buy quest items. Quest items and other untradeable items can't be dropped on the ground, and the game says "This item cannot be dropped."
- Use the Trash Can by the Free Market Entrance. It throws away any item from any tab.
- To keep an item instead, put it in Storage. Storage accepts every item, quest items included.
Storage
Storage holds 1,000 slots, shared by every character on your account. You can use it from level 15, at a Storage Keeper in most towns. The Storage page has the rest, including the fees.
- A search box finds an item by name or item number across every tab.
- The Storage window opens on the tab you used last. If that tab is empty and another has items, it opens on the first tab with items.
Common problems
- My bag is full. Etc and Use stack to 9,999. Move scrolls and books to the Scroll Bag, and Maker items to the Maker Bag. Put spare items in Storage, or buy slots in the Cash Shop.
- My storage is empty! It opened on a tab with nothing in it. Click the other tabs.
- My items won't move or can't be used. Favourite mode is still on. Click the star button to turn it off, or close and reopen the Item window.
- My throwing stars disappeared at 0. They stay at 0 in the Use tab so you can recharge them.
- The NPC won't take my quest items. If the reward is one-of-a-kind and you already hold one, the hand-in is refused.
- A monster card said my inventory was full. Monster cards never take a slot. They go straight into your Monster Book.
- I can't find a scroll in my Scroll Bag. Type part of its name in the bag's Search box.
- An item I dropped disappeared. If nobody picked it up, buy it back from the Buyback tab of any shop within 24 hours. See NPC Shops.
- My quest item can't be dropped. Use the Trash Can by the Free Market Entrance.
