Inventory System

Dual inventory system with secure Vault storage and risk-based character Bags.

Arcania uses a dual inventory system: a safe account-wide Vault and a character Bag that can drop items on death.

The Dual Inventory Concept

Item Safety Hierarchy

Items have different levels of protection depending on where they're stored:

Location	Safety	Description
Vault	100% Safe	Never lost under any circumstances
Equipped	Safe on Death	Worn items stay with you even when killed
Bag	At Risk	Can be lost when dying in PvP zones
Ground	Lootable	Dropped items can be picked up by anyone

Note

Key Insight: Store valuable items you're not using in the Vault. Only carry what you're willing to risk in your Bag when venturing into dangerous zones.

Transferring Items

Items can be moved between Vault and Bag from the Nexus:

Vault → Bag (Before adventuring)

Open Inventory Management in Nexus
Select items from Vault
Choose destination character
Confirm transfer
Items appear in character's Bag

Bag → Vault (After adventuring)

Return to a Safe Zone
Exit to Nexus
Open Inventory Management
Select items from Bag
Transfer to Vault for safekeeping

Warning

Cannot transfer while in Danger Zones! You must reach a Safe Zone before accessing the Vault or transferring items.

Tip

Pro Tip: Keep your Bag organized. When you die in PvP zones, random items drop - better to lose consumables than your +15 weapon!
