11Overview2233Expanding your inventory is essential in Crimson Desert, where the slot-based system quickly fills up with crafting materials, weapons, armor, and consumables. You start the game with 50 inventory slots shared across all three playable characters. The primary way to gain more slots is by collecting bags of various sizes from quests, vendors, and story progression. The inventory is limited by the number of total slots you have, not by a weight limit.4455Bag Sizes6677Bag TypeSlots AddedPrimary SourceSmall Bag+1Vendor purchases (50 copper each), minor quest rewardsMedium Bag+3Faction quests, side quest rewards, notice board questsLarge Bag+5Main story milestones, major quest rewardsExtra Large Bag+10One-time pickup in the Hills of No Return88Consumables and materials can stack up to 50 items per slot, while weapons and armor each occupy one slot. Because of this, managing your inventory effectively means both collecting bags and being smart about what you carry.991010Extra Large Bag (+10 Slots)11111212The Extra Large Bag is the single biggest inventory expansion in the game, adding 10 slots in one pickup. Unlike other bags, it is not purchased or earned from a quest. Instead, it is a one-time collectible found in the open world.13131414The bag is located in the Hills of No Return, northeast of Hernand Town, sitting next to a ruined wagon southwest of the Arboria Craftshop. There is no quest marker pointing to it, so it is easy to miss. For detailed directions, see the dedicated Extra Large Bag Location guide.15151616Where to Get Large Bags (+5 Slots)17171818Large Bags provide the most inventory expansion per bag. Known sources include:19192020Chapter 3 (Unlock Damiane): Unlocking Damiane as a playable character in Chapter 3 awards a Large Bag as part of the unlock reward.Chapter 3 (Howling Hill): Completing the first Howling Hill camp expansion at Greymane Camp awards a Large Bag.Chapter 7 (Unlock Oongka): Unlocking Oongka in Chapter 7 awards another Large Bag.Major Quest Rewards: Certain high-level faction quests and story milestones reward Large Bags. Check the Journal rewards column before accepting quests.21212222Where to Get Medium Bags (+3 Slots)23232424Medium Bags are the most common mid-tier expansion source:25252626Faction Quests: Open your Journal and check the Faction Quests tab. Hover over each quest entry to preview its rewards. Look for quests that list a Standard Inventory Expansion Tool or Medium Bag as a reward. Prioritize these over quests that only give silver or materials.Notice Boards: Notice boards in towns frequently post quests that reward Medium Bags. Check them regularly as new quests appear over time. The boards are refreshed periodically.Side Quests: Many side quests from NPCs with orange dots over their heads offer Medium Bags alongside other rewards.27272828Where to Get Small Bags (+1 Slot)29293030Small Bags are the most affordable and accessible expansion option:31313232Vendors: Nearly every merchant in Pywel sells exactly one Small Bag for 50 copper coins. Visit all merchants in each new town you discover. Vendors are marked with "?" icons on the map under the Environment tab. The 50 copper cost is negligible and quickly recovered from selling loot.Minor Quest Rewards: Some early-game quests and minor tasks reward Small Bags.33333434While each Small Bag only adds one slot, buying one from every vendor you meet adds up significantly over time. If you visit 20 merchants, that is 20 extra inventory slots for just 10 silver total.35353636Storage Alternatives37373838In addition to bags, Crimson Desert offers storage options to offload items you do not need to carry at all times. As of Patch 1.00.03, storage boxes are available at Greymane Camp and temporary lodgings in Hernand. Use these to store crafting materials, extra weapons, and other items you want to keep but do not need in the field.39394040Storage is separate from your carried inventory and has its own slot limit. Items stored in the box are accessible from any storage chest in the game, so you can deposit at camp and withdraw at a town lodging.41414242Tips43434444Buy a Small Bag from every vendor you encounter. The 50 copper cost is negligible and every slot counts. Over time these add up to dozens of extra slots.Prioritize faction quests that reward bags.
