My backpack

Lord.BachusLord.Bachus Member RarePosts: 9,686
in Elder Scrolls Online

There is room for 50 items... And even withouth crafting it just feels to small

 

are there any known ways to expand this backpack?

 

if not, it could become a major irritator.

    There is. In the first city I was in on beta, there is an NPC there that with gold you can expand your backpack to 60 for 300 gold I think. Then the cost rises from there.  There is also a bank to store extra gear in also, and I believe you can even upgrade the slots in your bank for gold too.

    In the last beta weekend, the first back upgrade (+10 slots) cost 400g.

    Second upgrade was 1200g or something around there.

    So, yes, you can expand the pack, but it appears to get very expensive very quickly.

    You can also put mats in the bank and they work at crafting stations, so after just a couple upgrades you will be fine.  Especially with the wayshrine system to get back to town.  It does get better so no need to worry, it just is a little tight in the starting island unless you go/find a vendor or crafting table.

    Thank you, i knew about the bank, but then when youre deep down in a dungeon and your packs are filled with loot and gathered materials, you can not get to your bank that easilly

     

    Good to know one can expand his bags... I dont care that its expensive, it should be... I hate when things come for free..

    I rather wisht eh backpack was a normal MMO boxed backpack, not a cumbersome scrolldown menu just because Skyrim had one too.

    I agree with you.... But then i am sure if they have mods, this will be one of the first ones to apear....  Its one of the types of mods i can certainly live with.....

    Addons are already being made and posted here.  So far, the few that are there look real promising and I wish for a better backpack interface also.

    Apart from the "Happy Haversack"  Vendor maybe people can craft bag expansions.  I have no idea as I didn't bother with Crafting.

    Honestly wish there was a separate crafting bank, like they did with guild wars.

    I upgraded my backpack one time and I am 100% sure it aint 400g because I have not made that much money ingame for the 2 bèta's I was in with still very limited time to play. Think I might have played between 15/20 hours max all together.

    But yes you can upgrade your bank and backpack but it will cost ingame money to do so.

    But I like the fact that bank inventory can be used for your crafting resources (nothing new but still usefull)

    You can also upgrade your horse to increase your inventory space.

    If you sell the mats you get instead of craft you can get the second upgrade, I guess it depends how urgent it is

    Upgrading backpack from 50 to 60 items - 200g

    Upgrading backpack from 60 to 70 items - 2000g

    Upgrading backpack from 70-80 items - 3600g

     

    Upgrading Bank inventory from 30 to 40 items - 1000g

     

    I did not go much further in beta.

    In addition, depending on the mount you have, horses can supply additional inventory space (I believe the Draft Horse for 42.5k gold expands your inventory by 10 slots).

     

     

    And no, no crafts can manufacture bag space...

    Unfortunately ESO has gone the GW 2 route. The bank is shared between all your characters.  I found in beta only having two characters it feels up pretty quickly.

    I actually liked that feature, though yes it could be bigger. Having multiple chars fills it up way too fast.

    Yeah. I spent a lot of time giving feedback on this one during and after beta (in the questionnaire.)

     

    There has to be some rational relationship between the variety and quantity of drops that don't stack and the bag and bank space you begin the game with. And here it's out of whack: the variety of unique items is humongous and the storage spaces rather small.

     

    The ability to upgrade both doesn't really fix the issue. Upgrades are expensive and don't give you a whole lot additional space. I started filling up all my space long before I could afford the 2nd upgrades.

     

    And as others already noted, the problem is compounded by the otherwise great feature of shared bank space for all your characters. On a per character basis shared bank space is even smaller.

     

    My suggestions to them was to both, increase the initial bag and bank spaces and to consider doing the GW2 thing for crafting mats where they get their own space that doesn't interfere with your main bank space (well, not unless you're a mat hoarder and you reach individual mat stack limits in that space too.)
