The "Stash" in SkyBlock, officially known as the Item Stash, is an essential inventory overflow system that automatically collects items you acquire when your main inventory is full. It acts as a temporary storage space, preventing valuable items from being lost.
What is the Item Stash?
The Item Stash serves as a safety net for items that would otherwise be dropped on the ground or disappear because your inventory has no available slots. Instead of being lost, these items are securely placed into your personal Item Stash, accessible from anywhere.
When Items Go to Your Stash
Items are automatically added to your Item Stash in various scenarios, including:
- Full Inventory: When your main inventory is completely full, and you acquire new items from sources like mob drops, resource collection, or quest rewards.
- Minion Output: If your minion's chest or your personal inventory is full, minion products will often be sent to your Item Stash.
- Fishing Catches: Certain fishing catches, especially rarer ones, might be sent to your stash if your inventory is full.
- Special Event Rewards: Rewards from events or specific activities can sometimes default to the stash if your inventory lacks space.
How to Manage Your Item Stash
Managing your Item Stash involves a few simple commands and interactions. These allow you to view its contents, retrieve items, or clear it if necessary.
Key Commands for Item Stash Management
You interact with your Item Stash primarily through chat commands or in-game prompts.
Command | Description |
---|---|
/pickupstash |
Retrieves all items from your Item Stash into your inventory. |
/viewstash |
Opens a menu displaying the current contents of your Item Stash. |
/clearstash |
Deletes all items currently stored within your Item Stash. |
Retrieving Items
To take items out of your Item Stash and move them into your inventory, you have two primary methods:
- Using the
/pickupstash
Command: Simply type/pickupstash
into your chat and press Enter. All items from your stash will be transferred to available slots in your inventory. - Pressing the Chat Message Button: Often, when items are added to your stash, a chat message will appear notifying you. This message typically includes a clickable button (e.g., "[CLICK TO PICKUP STASH]") that serves the same function as the
/pickupstash
command.
Viewing Stash Contents
If you want to see exactly what's in your Item Stash before picking everything up, use the /viewstash
command. This will open a GUI (Graphical User Interface) showing all the items currently stored. This is useful for deciding if you need to make space in your main inventory first or if you just want to check what's accumulated.
Clearing Your Stash
In situations where your Item Stash contains unwanted items, or you simply wish to empty it quickly, the /clearstash
command is available. Be extremely cautious when using this command, as it permanently deletes all items from your stash without confirmation. There is no undo button, so ensure you genuinely want to discard everything before using it.
Practical Tips for Using Your Stash
- Regular Checks: Make it a habit to periodically check your Item Stash, especially after long grinding sessions, AFK minion production, or major events.
- Inventory Management: Try to keep a few empty slots in your main inventory to minimize the need for the Item Stash, as retrieving items can sometimes interrupt gameplay flow.
- Avoid Unnecessary Clearing: Only use
/clearstash
if you are absolutely sure you don't need any of the items. It's usually better to/viewstash
first and then/pickupstash
if you only want to get rid of specific items by dropping them manually after retrieval.
The Item Stash is a critical feature for effective inventory management in SkyBlock, ensuring that your valuable acquisitions are never truly lost, even when your bags are full.
