Traveler Backpack is the fifth and currently highest tier of Backpack Progression in Windrose. Unlike previous tiers, it is purchased rather than crafted.
How to Acquire
Property | Value |
|---|---|
Source | Tortuga Goods Seller |
Price | 500 Piastres |
Slots Added | +20 slots |
Arrive in Tortuga through the main story and visit the Goods Seller in the market district. The Traveler Backpack sits on the upper end of the Goods Seller's inventory and requires no reputation grinding, only Piastres.
Availability Caveat
Community reports have occasionally flagged the Traveler Backpack as inconsistently available at the Goods Seller. Some players find it stocked immediately; others report needing to advance further into the Tortuga story arc before the item appears. If the Traveler Backpack does not appear in the Goods Seller inventory on your first visit, complete the next step of the main quest and return. The item also sometimes goes out of stock between visits and returns on the vendor's daily refresh.
When It Is Worth It
The Traveler Backpack is a pure Piastre sink with no crafting material requirement, which makes it an unusual upgrade path in a survival-crafting game. 500 Piastres represents roughly 30 to 60 minutes of focused faction turn-ins or ship-hold looting. The +20 slots make it the strongest single inventory jump, and it is the final tier most players pursue for the launch build.
Is There a Sixth Tier
Some community writeups reference a possible sixth "Huge, Bottomless Bag" tier. No primary source confirms this item exists in the current live build. If you cannot find it at any vendor or workshop in the launch build, it has not yet shipped. Treat the Traveler Backpack as the canonical top tier for the April 2026 launch.
