[[Image:Diablo_3_Inventory.png|thumb|350px|right|Inventory in [[Diablo 3]].]]The '''inventoryInventory''' of a player's character is the menu page they are likely to look at the most for [[item|equipment]] allocation and organizing the backpack. This is where you apply armour armor or weapons for usage.
==Bag Slots==
The slots in the Diablo III bag bags work very different differently from the inventory slots in [[Diablo II]], as it no longer applies the "tetris-style" inventory of differently sized items, requiring time to organize the layout of your loot. As of April March 30with the airing of BlizzCast [http://wwwus.diiiblizzard.netcom/blogblizzcast/commentsarchive/blizzcast-episode8.xml Episode 8-live-with-diablo-iii-goodies/], this changed and the inventory is now divided into three sectionsTabs:
*'''Backpack''' - Used for large items such as weapons and armor. One large item goes into one large slot.
*'''Pouch''' - Used for storing smaller things like [[rune]]s, [[gem]]s or [[scroll]]s.
*'''Quest chest''' - Used for storing quest items.
The inventory itself uses three tabs *'''Large Item Tab/Backpack''' - Used for large items such as weapons and armor. One large item goes into one large slot.*'''Small Item Tab/Pouch''' - Used for storing smaller things like [[Rune]]s, [[Gem]]s, [[Scroll]]s and [[Potion]]s.*'''Quest Tab/Quest chest''' - Used for storing quest items. Each Tab will have a bag assigned to it, each type bag will have a predetermined number of bagslots. Players will start with standard bags in each tab, between presumably 6-8 slots in Large Item Tab and 12-16 in Small Item Tab. This new layout efficiently solves the problem that WoW As players faceprogress, they will find better bags, with organizing their inventorya speculated progression rate of 2 slots. The only thing left that could be (Players start with 6 Large item slots, they will later find a mess is the small pouchbag with 8 Large item slots, and so on.) ''(Note that slots differentiate between tabs, If for Example, you have 6 slots in the Large Item Tab, then you will likely not be too badhave 12 slots in the Small Item Tab, This is because the slots in the tabs are of different size, so 2 small item slots stacked vertically = 1 large item slot.)''
''Please note that the area labelled "left hand" is actually right hand slot on the screen and vice-versa. It's the left hand of the '''character'''.''
==Development==
[[Image:D3-Inventory.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Inventory in [[Diablo 3]].]]During [[WWI 2008]] and [[BlizzCon 2008]], the inventory was similar to that of [[World of WarCraft]], with one slot for each item, and a possibility to expand the inventory space by adding up to four bags to your character. Smaller items also stacked up to five in a stack in order to save space. It started with 12 slots, but could progressively be upgraded to 30 slots.
