How to Expand Your Inventory (Bags)

Slots and the Cap

• ▸The base inventory is 8x12. Quest rewards add extra bags (8x8 each), up to five.
• ▸A Normal playthrough yields at most four; the fifth comes from re-clearing one of the bag-reward quests on Elite.
• ▸No merchant sells bags - quest rewards are the only source.
• ▸Shared/personal stash expansion is a separate system (see the stash article).

The Reward Quests

Walkthroughs, locations, and full rewards live on the quest pages - this is just the list.

• ▸Act 1: And Not a Drop to Drink.
• ▸Act 2: Clearing the Way.
• ▸Act 3: Culling the Swarm.
• ▸Act 4: Precious Resources.
• ▸The fifth: re-clear any one of Clearing the Way, Culling the Swarm, or Precious Resources on Elite - Clearing the Way is the earliest reachable (each quest's details are linked from this page's related quests).

Difficulty and DLC Differences

• ▸The only difficulty-gated bag is the fifth - re-clearing any bag-reward quest on Elite hits the cap, and neither Ultimate nor any DLC adds more (Ultimate still displays bag rewards, but they cannot exceed the five-bag cap).
• ▸No AoM or FG quest rewards a bag (our own quest data lists only this family in the bag category).
• ▸Skipping difficulties with an FG Merit auto-grants the bags you would have earned on the skipped difficulties - no backtracking runs needed.
• ▸That is why alts going straight to Ultimate with a Savior's Merit still end up with full bags (see Difficulties and Merits).
