Depending on their current level, your Fish, Wood, or Iron Storage will have a maximum quantity they can hold. If your storage is full, certain actions may still provide you with the excess Fish, Wood, or Iron, placing it in your mailbox. Once you have more space in your storages, you may go to your mailbox and claim the excess resources. 
 
The following actions will send excess resources to your mailbox:
  • Card Packs
  • Bundles
  • Gauntlet Wheelspin
  • Seasonal Statues
  • Johann's Ship

You will not receive excess resources from any other activities, such as:

  • Exploration + Journey
  • Calendars
  • Brawl
  • Gathering/Releasing Dragons
