Keyring

The keyring takes the form of a sixth bag slot which holds a number of keys, most usefully dungeon keys among other keys, with dynamic capacity. Not all keys or items named keys are compatible with the keyring.

When a player first acquires a key, they will automatically acquire a keyring that will hold compatible keys. The keyring sizes dynamically for the number of keys in possession, up to 32 keys.

Keyring UI

• The keyring appears as a thin key icon between the leftmost pack and the latency indicator. Clicking this reveals a bag similar to a normal container.
• Right-clicking a key in your bank moves that key into your a normal inventory bag slot.
• The keyring will adjust the number of slots to always accommodate all keys. If it appears that you have filled the bag, close and re-open it. It will expand until there are 32 total slots filled and then it will not expand anymore.
