Your Inventory is the place where all of your items are kept. Think of it as a chest of drawers where you can store your clothing, toys, and even food (hopefully, you don’t really store your food in a chest of drawers). Whenever you buy an item or receive a gift, it automatically appears in the Deliveries section of your Inventory. To use an inventory item, simply drag it from its slot to your desktop (or, in the case of some dialog-based Inventory items, double-click its icon). To put an item back in the Inventory, right-click it and select “Put Back in Inventory.” You can also create new Storage Boxes for your inventory, which you can name and use to organize your items (these work the same way that Windows folders work – to put an item inside a Storage Box, drag its icon over the desired Storage Box).

How to Open the Inventory Dialog:
Left-click on the Inventory button on the Main Menu
OR
Left-click on the Inventory button on the Equip Pet dialog

Inventory Buttons

1. The Equip Pet Button

This button deploys the Equip Pet Dialog, which lets you move clothing, nameplates, and other wearable items from your Inventory to your GoPet.

2. The New Box Button

This button creates a new Storage Box. After clicking this button, you will be asked to name your new Storage Box -- give it a name and click the green OK button.

3. The Piggy Bank Button

This button opens the Piggy Bank, where your Shells are kept. If you want to send Shells to another GoPets user, drag them from your Piggy Bank to the body of a new IKU message

4. The Recycle Button

To dispose of items, highlight them and click on the Recycle button. When you recycle an item, you will be credited a small number of Shells – this is the item’s Recycle Value. You may also dispose of entire Storage boxes by highlighting them and clicking on the Recycle button (warning: all items in a recycled Storage Box are disposed of together).

5. New Item Count

The number of new (unused) items in your Inventory is shown here

6. New Gift Count

The number of new (unopened) gifts in your Inventory is shown here.

7. Storage Boxes

This row of icons represents your Storage boxes. Click the left or right arrows to scroll through the available Storage boxes. To view the contents of a Storage Box, left-click it. The currently-viewed Storage Box is highlighted with an orange circle, and the contents of the currently-viewed Storage Box are displayed in the Item Slots beneath. To put an item in a Storage Box, left-click and drag its icon from its Item Slot to the Storage Box in which you want to place it.

8. Item Slots

These slots display the icons for the items contained in the selected Storage Box. You can rearrange your items by left-clicking them and dragging them to any slot you like. You can use your items by dragging their icons from their slots to the desktop. In the case of items that deploy dialogs (like the Map or the Piano), you must double-click the item’s icon to activate it. You can put wearable items (like clothing and nameplates) on your GoPet by dragging items from their item slots and into the Equip Pet dialog.

9. View Manual Entry Button

To view the Manual entry for this dialog, click on the question mark.

Inventory Capacity and Overflow

Each Inventory Storage Box has a maximum capacity of 100 items, and your Inventory can hold a maximum of ten Storage Boxes. After items are purchased or received, they appear in the first Storage Box, which is marked “Deliveries.” If the Deliveries Storage Box is too crowded to accommodate a new delivery, a message dialog will inform you that you need to make space for it. Don’t worry, the incoming items are never lost – they’re reserved for you until you can make space for them. To make space, simply click on the “New Box” button to make a new Storage Box, and drag some of your older items into it. Once you’ve cleared a space, get your items by clicking on the flashing “Take Deliveries” button at the upper right corner of your Inventory.
