Wrought Iron Chest is a placeable storage container in Windrose. A heavy wrought-iron chest with reinforced corners. Suits a treasure-vault or armoury. It opens a 28-slot inventory window, which any character with edit access to the base can deposit into or withdraw from. With 4,500 max health it is one of the sturdier storage options, so it holds up better than a plain Wooden Chest when a raider or wandering enemy starts swinging at your base.
Allows you to store your belongings. Capacity: 28 slots.
The recipe for the Wrought Iron Chest is unlocked through the Decoration: Wrought Iron Chest plan. Once learned, the chest can be placed during base building for the build cost listed below. Each piece costs Wood, Nails, and an Iron Ingot, so it sits a tier above starter wooden containers in both material cost and durability.
Place the container during base construction, then walk up and interact to open the inventory grid. Drag and drop items between the player inventory and the container slots, or use the standard sort and stack shortcuts. A loose chest can be picked up and re-placed without losing its contents, which makes reorganisation safe.
Attach a Label to mark the chest's intended contents. Labels are purely visual but make a wall of identical chests far easier to navigate. A Label: Treasure on a row of wrought iron chests is a quick way to flag where coin, gems, and rare loot are kept.
At 28 slots, the Wrought Iron Chest carries the same number of slots as most mid-tier containers, so the practical difference between it and cheaper chests is durability rather than space. Because stacks share a slot, dedicating one chest per material family (ores, woods, fibers, food) keeps things readable. Shared bases benefit from grouping chests by purpose and labelling each, since every member with edit access can pull from any of them.
This container decays over time outside Bonfire range. Keep storage placed within the protective radius of a fueled Bonfire, or the structure will start losing health and eventually break, dropping its contents on the ground for any nearby player to scoop up. Keeping a chest inside the Bonfire radius also protects the 4,500 health pool from idle erosion, so a well-fueled base never risks an accidental storage wipe.
