Version 0.14: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.


Your inventory is a list of all items you are currently carrying. To view your inventory while playing online, press 'i'. When playing offline, your inventory will be visible in the bottom right portion of the screen.

You can carry at most 52 items at a time, though many items (food, scrolls, potions, and ammo) can be stacked, conserving space. Items you have no use for when actually in combat should be left behind or stored in a stash, freeing up space for future loot and helping you avoid the encumbered status. Also, items in your inventory are susceptible to item destruction, so its best not to carry more of an item than you'll actually need for the time being. More than 4 of a food item, scroll, or potion is almost always excessive.

Common consumable items to carry at all times include:

In 0.15, item weight will be removed entirely, drastically changing inventory management.
