The Scaled Chest is a craftable container. It requires an Alchemy Engine to prototype, and costs 1 Scale, 4 Boards, and 10 Gold Nuggets to craft. Unlike the regular Chest, the Scaled Chest is fireproof and has 12 slots, as opposed to the normal Chest's 9 slots.

Items can be stored in a Scaled Chest by dragging them onto it or by opening the Chest to place them in specific slots. Chests help keep items better organized than by dropping them on the ground. Note that there are four Mobs in the game that can steal from, or knock items out of, chests; Splumonkeys, Krampus, Slurtles, and Bearger.

Usage

Tall Scaled Chest

Exclusive to:
This content is available only after activating the Lunar Rift
The Scaled Chest can be upgraded into Tall Scaled Chest with Elastispacer. The Tall Scaled Chest will not have limits on each slot, but will only shows "999+" when it contains more than 999 items. The updated chest differs from the usual one in its very elongated model, as well as a golden frame in the UI design of the inventory. For items that exceed stack limits, they can only be taken out as one max stack at a time.

Collapsed Scaled Chest

If you destroy a Tall Scaled Chest that contains a large number of items, then instead of all items falling out, a broken version of it will appear in its place, along with some of items. The player can pick on the Collapsed Scaled Chest to get one stack of the items at at time, or you can repair it with the materials of a Scaled Chest plus a Enlightened Shard, in which case the chest will be restored with all the resources inside.

When a boat with a Tall Scaled Chest is destroyed, it will only leave some part of the items but no Collapsed Scaled Chest, meaning that the player will lose the rest of items forever.

Tips

• While Scaled Chests may seem desirable for a hot Summer, due to the risk of spontaneous combustion and the Dragonfly's natural vandalism for Ashes, it is probably best to use Scales to craft Scalemail first, since the Dragonfly becomes much easier to fight after Scalemail is acquired, and in later Summers, the player may have enough gold to mass-produce Scaled Chests.
• The same functionality can be achieved with Piggybacks, with the only drawback being that players have to constantly equip and unequip the Piggybacks to check the items inside of them.

Trivia

• The Tall Chest was introduced in the Scrappy Scavengers update.
• Despite the fact that it is believed that tall chests can contain an infinite number of items in one cell. In fact, the number of items in a cell can be a maximum of 4,294,967,296
