So, you want the ultimate inventory expansion—the legendary 32-slot bag. Not 20-slot rookie packs. Not 24s or 28s. You’re here for the baggy waggy apex: the god-tier, canvas-stretching, gravity-warping loot sacks. Good news: you can get them, but it won’t always be cheap. This guide walks you through the best and most cost-effective ways to unlock them—starting with your first nearly free 32-slot bag and then scaling up smartly.

Your First 32-Slot Bag: The Reinforced Olmakhan Bandolier

Start by heading to the Sandswept Isles (Living World Season 4, Episode 2: A Bug in the System). Find a cheeky NPC named Effie and help him with a quest chain that gradually rewards bag upgrades:

• Starts as a 20-slot bag
• Upgrades to 24, 28, and finally a full 32-slot reinforced Olmakhan Bandolier

You’ll also get the crafting recipe for this bag—but don’t bother using it again. The resources needed to repeat the process are far too expensive. Just enjoy the one freebie and move on.

Your Next Goal: Reinforced Boreal Trunks

This is your best scalable option. To get the recipes, complete the Master of the Ancestral Forge achievement. You’ll need to craft or acquire several Restored Boreal weapons.

As you progress, you’ll unlock recipes for:

• 20-slot Boreal Bags
• 24-slot
• 28-slot
• And finally, 32-slot Reinforced Boreal Trunks

The upgrade path lets you create many 20-slot bags and upgrade them gradually as your resources grow.

Key Expense: Every 32-slot bag requires Supreme Runes of Holding—the most expensive component, typically over 100 gold per bag just from this alone. You’ll almost certainly need to buy these from the Trading Post.

How to Farm Eitrite Ingots and Eternal Ice Shards Fast

Most bag crafting recipes require tons of Eitrite Ingots and Eternal Ice Shards. But here’s how to farm hundreds daily with minimum effort:

Bjora Marches Daily Chest Method:

There are three major chests in Bjora Marches. Park alternate characters at each one.

1. Log in → Open Chest → Log Out
2. Takes 10–30 seconds per character
3. Rewards Eitrite Ingots, Ice Shards, and various loot

If you have a Mesmer portal or a Prototype Position Rewinder, you can reach even more chests per day by teleporting around quickly and rewinding to your initial spot.

Lazy Loop Example:

• First chest: open and done
• Second chest: use portal/rewinder to hit two more before resetting
• Third chest: same strategy

Maximizing this loop on 3–5 characters daily gives you a huge stockpile of materials.

Extra Boost: Strike Missions for Ice Shards

Want to go further? Toss in Strike Missions for even more Ice Shards:

• The three easiest Icebrood Saga strikes take 30 minutes or less
• Add them to your daily rotation and you can hit close to 500 shards per day if you run six strike missions total
• Skip the tank escort mission—it’s long and not worth the time

Combine strikes with your lazy chest-farming routine, and you’ll have enough shards for multiple bags in no time.

Final Inventory Math: 320 Slots Per Character

Once you’ve crafted a full suite of 32-slot bags and equipped them across every bag slot on a single character, you can achieve 320 total inventory slots—the highest possible for an individual character right now.

That’s stupidly efficient space, and this guide walks you through the cheapest and laziest way to get there. Park alts, pop chests, run some strikes, build your Boreal bags, and avoid overpaying for recipes or rare materials you don’t need.

You now have all the tools to build yourself a truly dummy-thick backpack setup without bankrupting your bank. You’re welcome.

Happy hoarding.
