There is a limit to the storage size for materials in your Item box. Currently, the initial storage size is set to a maximum of 5000. 

Note: This does not apply to those players who accepted Item Box Expansion as a reward from pre-registration, Season Pass, or other campaigns.

When the storage size reaches its limit, a red exclamation mark will appear on your Item box. There are no changes to the gameplay on the same day, however, the next day and onwards, following actions will be unavailable:

  • Hunting Large monsters (Field, Paintball, Urgent quests)

  • Participating in Hunt-a-thons, Elder Dragon Interceptions, Dimensional Links, etc.

  • Hunting Small monsters

  • Collecting from Gathering Points (small/large)

  • Receiving Quest rewards

  • Receiving the content of Palico bag

 

When the limit is reached, from 5:00 AM (local time) , a popup saying “Please organize your item box” will be displayed when attempting the actions above. Please free up some space by using one of the 3 methods listed below.

1.Automatic Selection（Offload Materials）

By selecting “Auto” on the material disposal screen, items will be automatically selected according to the following priority order. Materials with higher priority are selected first, and they are chosen so that the quantity of each material is reduced evenly. With automatic selection, materials will be reduced until the total reaches the item box limit minus 300.

  1. Items specifically used for Zenny exchange such as Shining Egg, Gleaming Egg, and Dazzling Egg.

  2. Materials of Rarity 5 or lower that are not used for favorite equipment based on the quantity owned.

  3. Materials of Rarity 5 or lower that are used for favorite equipment based on the quantity owned.

Example:If the number of materials you have is 10,200 / 10,000, materials will be automatically selected for disposal as follows until the total number of materials is reduced to 9,700 (minus 500).

  • Current list of materials you own

  • Number in possession

  • Rarity and favorite settings

In this case, the item that can be exchanged for Zenny, which has the highest priority, is selected first.
Gleaming Egg: 100→0（−100）

 

Next, the material not used in favorite equipment of rarity 5 or below with the largest quantity will be selected (in this case it’s no.7 Dragonite Ore: 1300). The number in possession will decrease to match the second-largest amount of materials not used in favorited equipment of rarity 5 or lower (1200).
Dragonite Ore: 1300 → 1200 (-100)


Finally, the materials are further reduced to the next lowest quantity (1100) among materials of rarity 5 or lower not used in favorite equipment.

Dragonite Ore: 1200 → 1100 (-100)

Fire Herb: 1200 → 1100 (-100)

Zinogre Tail: 1200 → 1100 (-100)

This results in a total of −500, and the automatically selected materials are disposed of.
