How To Split Item Stacks

Splitting Stacks is not possible directly in the inventory. The only way to split stacks that’s currently possible in the game is eitherby dropping the stackorby using a separate container.

Split Using Drop

The selected amount will be dropped to the ground. But if it’s picked up again, it’ll go back to the same stack.

Split Using Inventory

Anything that counts as a new inventory space counts for these purposes.Crafting benches, campfires, storage chests, and even follower inventories can be used for splitting stacks.If you’re splitting stacks to manage your carry weight,using a follower is the easiest option. You can find your first follower by completing a short quest in the Abeyance Realm during the tutorial section of the game (right beside the Essence Trader). The gameplay loop that worked for me was to first recruit a follower, start chopping down trees, and drop stuff in their inventory to keep myself from becoming over-encumbered.

I also found myself wanting to split stacks in order to convert some of my excess resources, like Plant Fibre, intoEssence Dustto buy items from the trader. Fortunately, you don’t need to split stacks for this. If you have a large stack of an item and you want to convert some of it - but not all of it - into Essence Dust, the only thing you need to do is right-click and select‘Extract.’You’ll be shown a slider that can be dragged to the left or right to decrease or increase the amount of the item you want to convert. No need for splitting stacks.
