====== Dungeon Loot, Heirlooms, and Inventory ======

Dungeon treasure is not ordinary Minecraft storage loot. While in its dungeon-loot form, it must stay in the **hotbar**, uses an item-specific stack limit, and is redeemed when you leave the dungeon world. Your nine hotbar slots are a shared budget for combat access, provisions, and treasure.

===== Inventory Rules =====

  * Dungeon loot cannot be banked in the main inventory, offhand, chests, or backpacks to bypass the limit.
  * Different treasures stack to different amounts; do not assume the vanilla maximum of 64. Gold Coins, for example, stack to 75, while a Puzzling Trapezohedron occupies a slot by itself.
  * The restriction concerns dungeon-loot items. Normal armor and ordinary consumables are not turned into dungeon loot by entering.
  * Converted [[dungeon_provisions|Skeleton Keys]] also consume hotbar space. Antidotes are ordinary consumables and can use the main inventory.
  * Leave space before opening a chest; more drops are not useful if you cannot choose and collect them before leaving.

===== Money Treasure =====

These are **custom dungeon items**, even where their names resemble vanilla items. Values below are the unboosted, full-clear payout per item. Full-stack value is the per-item value multiplied by the stack limit; it is not a guaranteed drop quantity. Fleeing reduces money payout to 20%, and active loot bonuses can increase redemption.

^ Treasure ^ Value each ^ Stack limit ^ Full-stack value ^
| Gold Coin | $10 | 75 | $750 |
| Citrine | $50 | 10 | $500 |
| Jade | $75 | 10 | $750 |
| Onyx | $100 | 10 | $1,000 |
| Emerald | $200 | 5 | $1,000 |
| Sapphire | $250 | 5 | $1,250 |
| Ruby | $350 | 5 | $1,750 |
| Minor Antique | $100 | 20 | $2,000 |
| Major Antique | $225 | 5 | $1,125 |
| Puzzling Trapezohedron | $1,500 | 1 | $1,500 |
| Emerald Gold Ring | $150 | 10 | $1,500 |
| Sapphire Gold Ring | $200 | 10 | $2,000 |
| Ruby Gold Ring | $225 | 10 | $2,250 |
| Diamond Gold Ring | $250 | 10 | $2,500 |

===== Choosing What to Keep =====

Compare the value of the **actual stack**, not just the item's color or value each. A full stack of Minor Antiques is worth $2,000, more than one $1,500 Puzzling Trapezohedron. But two Minor Antiques are worth only $200; keeping them in hope of filling the stack is a different decision.

Useful questions when the hotbar fills:

  - Can the new drop join a stack you already carry?
  - Which existing stack has the lowest actual money value?
  - Is an heirloom or material needed for your next trade more useful than cash?
  - Are you about to spend a key and free a slot, or do you still need it for a later chest?
  - Are you likely to finish, or should you compare rewards at the fleeing rate instead?

===== Heirlooms =====

Heirlooms are **item rewards**, not money treasure. Their dungeon-loot forms redeem into ordinary heirloom items, which can be exchanged for equipment or converted into other heirloom types.

^ Heirloom ^ Stack limit inside the dungeon ^ After redemption ^
| Bust | 6 | Bust heirloom item |
| Portrait | 3 | Portrait heirloom item |
| Crest | 12 | Crest heirloom item |
| Battle Standard | 6 | Battle Standard heirloom item |

The redeemed heirloom items stack to **64**. That does not expand their carrying capacity during the run: dungeon limits apply until redemption. **Heirlooms are kept as items, not automatically sold for cash.**

===== Heirloom Exchanges =====

After ''/warp crates'', look for the Adventurer's Guild just behind the crate area; the Heirloom and dungeon-material traders are upstairs on its second floor.

At the Heirloom Trader, exchange one heirloom type for another:

^ Give ^ Receive ^
| 1 Bust | 4 Crests |
| 1 Crest | 4 Battle Standards |
| 1 Battle Standard | 2 Portraits |
| 1 Portrait | 2 Busts |

On a full clear, valid heirloom loot redeems as items. If you flee, each reward unit has a 20% survival chance, so three Portraits might yield none, one, or more; do not plan as though exactly one fifth of every stack is preserved. Loot bonuses can also modify item-reward quantities.

===== Dungeon Materials =====

Dungeon-specific materials also redeem into items rather than cash. Each listed material has a dungeon stack limit of **4**.

^ Dungeon ^ Materials ^
| Fire | Hellstone Bar; Fireproof Cloth |
| Ruins | Venom Vial; Ancient Feather |
| Blood | Blood Sigil; Sect Token |
| Pirate | Cursed Coin |

Some materials require higher dungeon tiers. **Cursed Coin is a material reward despite its name**, unlike the money-paying Gold Coin.

===== Redemption and Loss =====

Valid money treasure is redeemed automatically on leaving the dungeon world. A recorded clear grants full payout; leaving without it pays 20%. Item rewards use the same clear/escape distinction, but fleeing is resolved by chance per reward unit rather than fractional items. Unused in-dungeon provisions are not cashed out.

Loot left behind is not included in redemption. Use the normal exit rather than relying on death or disconnecting to preserve treasure. See [[dungeons|Dungeons]] for the exit warning.
