AFK Journey Inventory Sort quest solution

Phillip's Worries is a fairly easy quest to solve, but only before you're tasked with the Inventory Sort in the Vaduso Mountains.

AFK Journey’s Phillip’s Worries quest, also known as Inventory Sort, occurs multiple times during the early and mid-game as a Town Quest. While its early stages are easy to complete, finding the solution to the Vaduso Mountains version is quite challenging.

The solution to the Inventory Sort town quest in Vaduso Mountains is shown in the picture above. To get to this point, you need to:

  1. Place the top of the Z-shaped floral arrangement in the two top slots.
  2. Put the three-tile stone statue in the right corner (next to the floral arrangement).
  3. Add the yellow gem in the gap between the flowers and the statue.
  4. Place the long-stem roses horizontally with the right edge touching the stone statue.
  5. Put the two-tile deer idol under the stem roses.
  6. Position the standalone rose next to the deer, under the stems.
  7. Position the yellow twig to the far left.
  8. Place the backpack in the remaining center slot.

Once you finish this, you’ll have completed the Inventory Sort of Phillip’s Worries in stage six of Town Quests. You’ll receive some experience, Essence, and Soul Stones in return. Although these rewards are not in great quantity, they add up nicely as you complete other side quests.

You’ll also encounter Phillip’s Worries and inventory sorting in other regions of AFK Journey, specifically in the Dark Forest and Golden Wheatshire. These stages feature less complex bags to sort and are easy to figure out by trial and error. The only tricky stages that many players struggle with are the Vaduso Mountains’ and Remnant Peaks’ because of how large their bags are.
