# Scope, dates & labels
This page is about one question: what players put in Store-O before a reset in NecroMerger. It uses four r/NecroMerger threads out of the Arctic Shift archive (collected 2026-10-04) and the NecroMerger wiki’s Store-O page (revision 18527, last edited 2026-08-07, read 2026-10-05). Nothing here was tested in the game. Quotes are exact; author, date and link come from the stored archive responses.
The game changes, so every report carries its date. Labels: Community Knowledge what a named player or the player-run wiki wrote; Disputed players disagree; Version-sensitive numbers and options can change with game updates.
# What Store-O is, according to the wiki
- Community Knowledge On what Store-O is, the wiki says:
Store-O is the 4th of the robot helpers created by The Inventor.
[3] - Community Knowledge On unlocking it, the wiki says:
Store-O is unlocked by having spent 75,000 Time Shards on inventions in total on the current prestige run.
[3] - Community Knowledge On slots, the wiki says:
By default, he has one available slot to store an item similar to the Crate and Cage. A further 2 more slots can be purchased from The Hacker (see below).
[3] - Community Knowledge The wiki says:
Both upgrades increase storage spaces by 1.
[3] - Community Knowledge The wiki’s upgrade table lists these two rows:
+1 Size | 100 Energy Cube
;+1 Size | 500 Gems
[3]. - Community Knowledge The wiki says:
when you use the Time Machine, he and any items he contains are unaffected by the prestige reset and can be collected from the Inventor with the items stored in him still present.
[3] - Community Knowledge The wiki adds:
However you will want to take note that these stations will not be able to be upgraded until you re-unlock the station nor be merged into Legendary Minions until the corresponding Feat is completed, with the exception of the Robo Chicken as it has no unlock requirements besides having purchased him from the Surgeon.
[3] - Community Knowledge On what can be stored, the wiki says:
Store-O is able to store items that both the Crate and Cage are able to store, aka both Items and Minions.

- Community Knowledge u/Aggressive_Prize5694 (2026-09-26, comment pc2to7k) wrote:
Generally, bringing stuff that save your runes is a good idea. Pre-100 that means things like Portal 5 and Fridge 5 (there are more expensive things post-100).
[4] - Community Knowledge u/Aggressive_Prize5694 (2026-09-26, comment pc2to7k) wrote:
I like Lecturn/Fridge/Portal 5 as it saves runes, solves feats early, provides food-rich minions and gives you access to Banshees, Ghouls and Imps for resource generation.

These are the options named in the quotes; the lists are not identical, and this page does not choose between them.
# The third slot
u/Daddy_Robin (2026-09-23, comment pbmdkgb) wrote The 3rd slot is often debated.
[1] The table lists the options that commenter names in the same comment; one row is what he says he picked and the others are options he lists. Other players’ lists are in the section above.
| Option | Who names it | What they wrote |
|---|---|---|
| Fridge 5 | u/Daddy_Robin (2026-09-23, comment pbmdkgb) | Personally, i went with fridge 5 because chance at ghouls and aboms can blast through early levels.[1] |
| Saucer 1 | u/Daddy_Robin (2026-09-23, comment pbmdkgb) | Other common choices include saucer 1 for early imps and ghouls IF you can deal with the annoyance of RNG.[1] |
| 2nd Portal 5 | u/Daddy_Robin (2026-09-23, comment pbmdkgb) | 2nd Portal 5 to have an early archdemon (still gotta unlock it through feats but the rune savings help)[1] |
| Spirit (with split-o) | u/Daddy_Robin (2026-09-23, comment pbmdkgb) | Or a Spirit to try and cheese early dmg% with split-o triple splits.[1] In the next lines of that comment: I and many players in their lvl 400+ runs consider this last one a meme through and through.[1] |
u/Daddy_Robin (2026-09-23, comment pbmdkgb) also wrote If i had to give a personal recommendation, either do fridge 5 or 2nd portal 5.

In the thread “I bought a level of each Prestige Rune upgrade…” [4], two quoted comments mention a level-5 or maximum Saucer: u/Aggressive_Prize5694 (2026-09-29, comment pct64t1) wrote (I dont recommend a lvl 5 saucer as cosmic runes arent hard to farm and they dont produce useful minions early game but ymmv.)
[4] and u/National_Attitude779 (2026-09-29, comment pcsk85z) wrote I think I'll still bring a max saucer.

# Spirit with Split-O Disputed
Players disagree on whether this is worth the slots. Both views are quoted below with dates; this page does not choose.

You can also take spirits to use split-o for basically infinite dmg and craving scaling. Those are the two main philosophies.

Or a Spirit to try and cheese early dmg% with split-o triple splits.
[1] and, on the next lines,I and many players in their lvl 400+ runs consider this last one a meme through and through.
[1]The gains are marginal and you're A: at the whims of split-o rng and B: forced to use split o.
[1] - Community Knowledge u/Aggressive_Prize5694 (2026-09-26, comment pc2to7k) wrote:
or a lvl 3 Vengeful Spirit (to split-o into extra damage %; i think its too slow IMO)

Just don't bring spirits this time, as the silver spoon + food multipler would send you flying to level 100 so you get to soul grinders within a few days, not leaving you many chances to split and skip for spirits.

Figures players gave
- Community Knowledge u/Captain_Combustible (2026-09-23, comment pbmbf9z) wrote:
It's a 25% chance every 3 hours.
[1] - Community Knowledge u/Uncommented-Code (2026-08-05, comment p1vl4un) wrote:
If you have a recharge time of 4h, it takes about 16h for one triple split to occur, so a bit more than 2% damage per 16 hours if we include duplicate chance.
[2] - Community Knowledge u/Aggressive_Prize5694 (2026-09-29, comment pcsgjc5) wrote:
I did it, I was not that impressed. It ended up being something like +40% extra damage and I think bringing a station would serve you better pre-100.
[4] The comment does not name the strategy it refers to.
Two comments (pbmbf9z, pct64t1) give a 25% chance every 3 hours; one (p1vl4un) assumes a 4-hour recharge time. “+40%” is one player’s result from their own run; “2%” is one player’s calculation. This page has not tested any of these figures.
# Level-200 reset threads: golems
Two threads are about resets around level 200. “Golem” is used here exactly as the commenters use it; this page does not say which minion it means beyond what the quotes say.

Store-o... Depends. Golem is good choice. Portal5 or two is also good. Lectern5.

[5] - Community Knowledge u/Uncommented-Code (2026-09-15, comment p9yift7) wrote:
I fill store-o with golems because each is worth 3k+ runes and speeds up early to mid-game rune farming considerably, especially now with hacker bonuses that essentially allow to instnantly build things like lectern and fridge.

Version-sensitive “3k+ runes” and the mention of hacker bonuses are one player’s statement; this page has not checked them.
# What this page cannot tell you
- It does not recommend a Store-O loadout. Everything above is what the wiki or individual players wrote, either about their own resets or as advice to others.
- The 42 Reddit passages quoted above come from 20 comments and 3 posts by 16 authors and are dated 2026-08-05 to 2026-09-29. They are not independent votes, and the game may have changed since.
- For what Store-O is, this page uses the wiki; the one exception in that section is the exchange about the Soul Grinder, which comes from a player thread. For which items players choose, it uses only the player quotes above.
- Some comments are written for different situations (a first reset before level 100, resets around level 200). The footnote on each quote names its thread. The third-slot section and the Spirit section put quotes from several threads side by side.
