Crafting bags is the only way to expand your inventory. However, you’ll need to spend a while in Aeternum before you get your first bag, and that includes ranking up in your faction. New World bags - How to craft bags in New World The first chance to get a bag in New World pops up once you reach level 10, and you’ve got two options for obtaining it. The first is by just following the story. The Innkeep sends you on a quest and rewards you with a bag once you finish, which is great, but it’s also just one bag.

To get more, you’ll need to craft them, but you also need to join a faction. Every bag crafting recipe requires a Rune of Holding, and those are only available through your faction’s store. Which faction you choose has no bearing here, since the shops offer the same items regardless of faction.

Bags come in tiers, and each tier gives you a bonus to your encumbrance. That means you can hold more without having mobility penalized, and given all the items you’ll pick up on your journey, it’s a handy boon to have. Coase Leather Adventurer’s Satchel

What are the best bag perks in New World? The best perk is, without a doubt, Extra Pockets, which increases how much weight your bag can carry by up to 90%. Azoth Attuned is another must-have, since it gives a slight boost to how much Azoth you collect each time. While these perks are good for you, they’re even better for earning money if you sell them at the trading post Crafting extra bags is always a good idea if you need more money in New World, as they’re regularly in high demand at any trading post. With that extra cash, you could even buy a new weapon and work towards putting your best New World build together.
