For both seasoned adventurers and newcomers to the world of Valheim, the question of expanding inventory space has long lingered. With the recent release of Valheim 1.0, players can finally breathe a sigh of relief—there is a solution.
Valheim’s inventory system has been notorious for its limitations, featuring only eight hotbar slots and a mere 24 inventory slots. This constraint becomes particularly burdensome as players don armor, which occupies valuable space, leading to a constant struggle to manage the plethora of loot and resources scattered throughout the game. Fortunately, the introduction of inventory upgrades offers a remedy.
How to increase your inventory in Valheim
To enhance your inventory capacity, players should seek out Haldor, the NPC merchant located in the Black Forest. Haldor now provides two inventory upgrades for purchase with coins. Each upgrade adds an additional row to your inventory, allowing for a total of 16 extra slots—an invaluable enhancement for any explorer.
As you navigate the landscape, keep an eye on your minimap. A white bag icon will appear when you approach Haldor’s camp, guiding you to this crucial upgrade opportunity. To fund your purchases, coins can be discovered in various locations—chests and dungeons are prime spots, while defeating monsters like trolls and fulings can also yield valuable currency. Additionally, players can sell items such as rubies, amber, and silver necklaces directly to Haldor for coins.
For those looking to streamline their experience further, utilizing third-party tools like the Valheim World Generator can assist in locating Haldor’s camp, although it may require updates to align with the latest game version.
