One of the first things you'll notice when you start questing and leveling up your character in New World is that you will get a lot of loot. And without infinite inventory spaces, you'll find your backpacks filling up fast, so you're going to want as much storage space as possible. If you do not know, don't worry, this guide will cover every way you can increase your storage space in New World.
There are four main ways of increasing your storage space in New World:
Equip Bags On Your Character
Unlocking a bag slot at level 10 will allow you to equip a bag. The easiest bag you can get will increase your carrying capacity by 50, which is 25%, so it's quite the upgrade. At level 45, you can equip up to three bags at a time. Bags will grant anywhere from +150-410 storage on their own, and this number can be increased even further through perks. There are nine different bags you can craft and equip, each with a varying storage increase. The Gear Score of your bag also determines how much it can carry, with higher scores being able to carry more items. If you don't want to make it, you can also buy it with new world amazon coins at the trading post.
Craft Storage Chests In Houses
You can upgrade the size of your storage in the settlement where your house is located by placing Chests in your house. The tier of your house determines how many storage chests you can craft. With a T4 house, you're able to place five storage chests in your house at a time. And just like houses, these storage chests have tiers that get progressively better.
Territory Standing Storage Reward
Territory Standing is a progression system that gives passive bonuses as you complete activities in a certain region. One of the passive bonuses is storage increases by 25. That might not sound significant, but this is the only Territory Standing reward in New World that doesn't suffer from diminishing returns. Grab the storage card whenever it appears.
Sell Items At Trading Post
The last one is to place your items on the trading post to sell them. The trading post is a wonderful place to sell what you don't need and make some new world coins for yourself. While an item is listed at a Trading Post, it doesn't take up any storage capacity. If you don't want to sell, set a fairly high cost to ensure someone else doesn't buy it, then let it sit in the market for up to 28 days. When the timer runs out, the item will be returned to your storage shed.
Simply put, the sooner you work towards upgrading your storage, the smoother your endgame experience will be.
