Container

A container is a crafted item used for organizational purposes, the storage of smaller items, and the prevention of decay.

Comparison table

Every container has weight, depending on the materials used to make it, and can hold a specific volume of items inside. Some containers will not hold liquids, some are mobile, others are stationary, and some may be carried in your inventory. The following table seeks to list this information for each container found in Wurm.

For additional information on a particular container listed here, including recursive storage info (storing containers inside of other containers), it is advisable to check that container's specific page within the Wikipedia.

See Legend below for additional meanings of symbols and terms used herein.

Unusual containers

• For the Bag of keeping or Master bag of keeping see their individual pages.
• Small magical chests and large magical chests hold the same as small chests and large chests, respectively.
• Small crates and Large crates hold 150 and 300 items, respectively, regardless of the volume of those items. Because of this, it can be a better idea to put bulky items, like low quality ore or logs, into crates over Bsbs. Both crates and BSBs will average the quality of the items inside.
• Quivers generally hold arrows but can be used to hold very small items like needles. They don't hold liquid at all.
• Some containers only hold one kind of item.
  • Rack for empty bsbs - Only holds up to 30 empty bulk storage bins.
  • Bulk container unit - Hold 4 bulk storage bins which can be filled.
  • Wine barrel rack - holds up to 30 empty or full wine barrels.
  • Small barrel rack- holds up to 30 empty or full small barrels.
  • Planter rack - holds up to 30 empty or full pottery planters.
  • Crate rack - holds up to 30 empty or full large crates or 51 small crates.
  • Amphora rack- holds up to 30 empty or full large or small pottery amphoras.

Legend

• Volume = the total amount of physical space a container takes up as well as offers internally for storage purposes.
• Weight = the total weight of the container without any items inside.
• Move: D = can be dragged, I = Can be picked up into inventory, L= Can be loaded
•  ? = Data required

Additional Notes

• To effectively gauge how much of an item a particular container may hold, simply divide that container's volume, given in the chart above, by the volume that a single unit of that item takes up. The resulting number represents how many of that item will then actually fit in the desired container.
