'''Rare''' drops are never lost to a full bank: if a lucky rare (or any loot needing a brand-new stack) rolls while you have no room for it, it is automatically sold for [[Amber]] at its full sell value instead of being dropped. This applies to every loot source alike — hunts, expeditions, [[Rivals\|raids]], [[Dispatch]] squads, [[Villagers\|villager]] gifts, and camp collections.

			=== Special items are protected ===
			A few '''progression items''' are too important to quietly turn into Amber, so they '''ignore the full-bank rule''' and squeeze into the bank one slot over capacity instead of converting:

			* '''[[Tribe#Material Ages\|Age Catalysts]]''' — the spoils that gate advancing your camp's Material Age.
			* '''Un-learned masterwork [[Blueprints\|blueprint sheets]]''' — a sheet for a recipe you haven't studied yet.
			* '''Worker gear returned by an Age advance''' — the plain pieces handed back when a new Age retires your camp.

			The catch that this protects against: a blueprint sheet for a recipe you have '''already learned''' is dead weight, so it still converts to Amber like an ordinary bank-full drop.

New page

The '''Bank''' is where every item you gather, craft, or collect is stored. It is also where you convert surplus materials into '''Amber''', Primal Idle's currency. Nearly everything the game produces flows through the Bank, making it your central inventory hub.

== Item stacking ==

The Bank stacks identical items together: each item type occupies a '''single stack''' no matter how many you own, and picking up more of an item simply increases that stack's quantity. There is no per-stack limit, so a stack can grow arbitrarily large.

What is limited is the number of '''distinct item types''' the Bank can hold — its slot count. When the Bank has no free slot for a brand-new item type, actions that would produce it stop with a "Bank full" notice (see [[Gameplay]]). Existing stacks always keep accepting more, so a full Bank only blocks new kinds of items. You can raise your slot count by:

* buying '''bank slot''' upgrades in the [[Shop]], and
* building and upgrading storage structures at your [[Homestead]].

== Tabs and organization ==

The Bank page groups items into '''tabs''' so large inventories stay readable. Alongside an '''All''' tab, items are organized by the skill they belong to — [[Foraging]], [[Logging]], [[Mining]], [[Fishing]], [[Cooking]], [[Crafting]], [[Smithing]], [[Alchemy]], [[Hunting]], and expedition goods — letting you jump straight to a category.

The page also offers a '''search''' box and '''sorting''' options (by value, quantity, or name). Sorting only changes how items are displayed; your underlying storage order is left untouched.

Selecting a stack shows its details, including its description and its sell value.

== Selling for Amber ==

Every item has a '''sell value''' — the amount of Amber you receive per unit when you sell it to the vendor from the Bank. Selling a stack simply removes the chosen quantity and pays you its sell value times the amount sold:

* Amber earned = item sell value × quantity sold.

Selling is the primary source of Amber early on, funding [[Shop]] upgrades and other purchases. A sensible habit is to periodically clear out low-value or surplus gathering materials you no longer need while keeping anything a recipe, [[Cooking]] dish, or [[Crafting]] project might call for.

Note that buying goods back is deliberately expensive — the vendor sells items for several times their sell value — so it rarely pays to sell something you will need to re-buy later. When in doubt, hold materials that feed your active [[Skills]].
