Inventory management in Crimson Desert is a real challenge, as you start with limited inventory slots and no dedicated storage whatsoever. This guide will provide you with tips and tricks on how to expand your personal inventory and unlock the private base storage chest.
How to Expand Your Personal Inventory
Kliff begins with 50 inventory slots, where each item occupies a single slot, but consumables and crafting materials can stack up to 50 units per slot. The best way to expand your inventory is to use small, medium, and large bags.
- Small bag adds one extra slot to your inventory and costs 50 Copper at the Provisioner’s Shop in towns and outposts.
- Medium bag adds three extra slots, but these can’t be purchased and only obtained from the Greymane missions and requests.
- Large bag adds nine extra slots, and these are typically tied to unlocking other playable characters, such as Damiane in Chapter 3 and Oongka in Chapter 7.
You can see that getting medium bags is the most efficient of the three to quickly increase your inventory, so here are some of the best requests that will grant you medium bags:
- Hernand: Renee’s Request, Rhett’s Request, and Turnali’s Request.
- Greymane: Carl’s Request, Ronnie’s Request, Ross’s Request, Tranan’s Request, Brice’s Request, Ronald’s Request, and Pierce’s Request.
Unlock Private Base Storage Chest
At launch, Crimson Desert had no functional private storage, but patches fixed this, and a proper Private Storage chest has been added. Now it provides 240 dedicated storage slots and is the main solution for storing items that you don’t need to carry at all times with you when exploring. Actually, there are two such chests, but one is temporary. Here’s how to unlock them:
- The first temporary storage chest appears at the start of the game inside your personal tent at the Freesword Encampment just outside Hernand Castle.
- Look for it in the white tent with the bed.
- Beginning with Chapter 3, your storage chest automatically moves to the Greymane Camp at Howling Hill.
- You’ll find it behind the Provisions Keeper NPC named Carl, in the large tent near the table and cart.
You can use this chest any time you want to store all your items, such as excess crafting materials, spare weapons, armor, and gear you might upgrade or use later, so basically, anything not needed for immediate adventuring. The developer also mentioned the introduction of housing storage, but this will happen only with the upcoming patches when the full housing system is going to be introduced.
