Project Gorgon Inventory Management and Storage Guide
Inventory management in Project Gorgon is not about hoarding everything or selling everything. The short answer is that storage is a progression system tied to skills, favor, and planning, not a single bank. New players can struggle because nothing is labeled as junk and almost everything has a use later.
Once you understand how storage types work and how to decide what to keep, inventory pressure becomes manageable instead of constant.
How Inventory Works At A Basic Level
Every character starts with a limited personal inventory. This is your backpack and it fills fast.
Inventory size increases permanently through Endurance levels and certain skill rewards. Temporary increases come from consumables, equipment effects, and crafted gear. You are expected to grow your inventory slowly rather than solve it immediately.
Early on, the goal is not maximum space but knowing where things go.
Personal Inventory Expansion Options
There are several ways to increase your carry space without storage.
Level Endurance to gain permanent slots
Equip gear with inventory bonuses
Add pockets to gear using crafting
Use Pocket Expander Potions for short bursts
Use Words of Power for large temporary boosts
Belts crafted through Toolcrafting or Shamanic Infusion are especially useful early. Many players commission pocket gear once they settle into a build.
Council Vault Storage Explained
Council Vault Storage is your main long term bank.
It is shared across zones and accessed through Council Storage Machines. You can buy additional slots from Hulon, but prices scale very aggressively. Early vault expansion is helpful, but rushing high slot counts is not efficient.
Best use for Council Vault Storage is long term materials, rare items, and things you do not need daily.
NPC Storage And Why Favor Matters
NPC storage is one of the most important systems new players overlook.
Many NPCs unlock storage based on favor level. This storage is often restricted by item type but extremely valuable. Once unlocked in a zone, that storage can usually be accessed from multiple objects in the same area.
Favor progression effectively turns towns into distributed banks. Serbule is commonly used as an early storage hub because of how many NPCs offer storage there.
Chest Storage Found Through Exploration
Some storage chests are unlocked through puzzles or exploration.
These chests are permanent and usually small, but they are extremely useful early. Anagoge Island and Serbule Crypt both contain early examples.
These are best used for niche item categories or overflow you want to keep separate.
Account Storage With Transfer Chests
Transfer Chests allow item sharing between characters on the same account.
They are not searchable with isearch and should not be used as general storage. Best use is moving gear, tools, or materials between alts.
They are located in major hubs like Serbule, Rahu, Sun Vale, and the Red Wing Casino.
Special Storage Systems You Will Unlock Later
Project Gorgon has many conditional storage systems.
Carpentry Storage Crates for temporary access
Druid Storage tied to events
Lycanthropy storage at the Altar of Norala
Warden storage in the Sacred Grotto
Fae Pocket Dimension storage
Ri Shin Shrine storage during Winter events
These are not beginner priorities, but knowing they exist helps with long term planning.
How To Find Items You Already Own
Use isearch early and often.
The isearch command scans almost all personal storage except Guild Storage and Transfer Chests. It tells you exactly where items are and how many you have.
You can also use the magnifying glass in the inventory window to access the same system without typing commands.
This is the single best tool for managing sprawl.
What New Players Should Actually Keep
Nothing in Project Gorgon is truly junk, but that does not mean you keep everything.
Good early rules that actually work.
Keep items you can gift for favor
Keep stackable crafting materials
Keep animal parts and unusual drops
Sell gear you are not using
Avoid hoarding quest notes and lore items
Use More Info constantly. It tells you who likes an item, what it crafts into, and whether it has long term value.
Favor items are more important than councils early. Storage space comes from relationships, not money.
Practical Inventory Habits That Help Long Term
Use towns as themed storage hubs
Convert raw food into cooked food early
Do not sit on unused gear
Favor progression solves storage problems faster than grinding money
Inventory management in Project Gorgon is a skill just like combat. Once it clicks, the pressure drops fast.
