Hytale is a popular sandbox RPG experience where the freedom of sandbox meets the momentum of an RPG. You can explore dungeons, fight monsters, craft gear, and build anything you imagine while you continue your adventure through the story.
As you have noticed, Inventory Space tends to be an issue in Hytale, as there is too much stuff to pick up. So, here’s a complete guide how to get and upgrade your backpack to increase your inventory space.
How To Get Backpack In Hytale
To get the Backpack in Hytale, you need to craft it. So, follow the steps listed below to craft Backpack and increase your inventory space.
Upgrade the Workbench to Level 2
The first step you need to take is upgrading the Workbench to level 2. This upgrade unlocks the Unlock Backpack recipe inside the crafting menu. You will need the following items for the upgrade:
- 30 Copper Ingots
- 20 Iron Ingots
- 20 Linen Scraps
Obtain the Required Materials
Here’s how you can get all the items necessary for upgrading your Workbench:
| Material | How You Get It |
|---|---|
| Copper Ingots | You can mine Copper ore inside caves, then smelt it into ingots using a Furnace. |
| Iron Ingots | You can mine Iron ore from caves and smelt it at a Furnace to create ingots. |
| Linen Scraps | You will get Linen Scraps after you defeat humanoid enemies like Skeletons and Trorks. |
After you gather all these materials, you need to interact with the Workbench and complete the level 2 upgrade to unlock new crafting options.
Craft the Backpack Unlock
After upgrading your Workbench, you need to open its menu and switch to the Tinkering tab. You will find the Unlock Backpack recipe on the bottom row. You will need the following items for the upgrade:
- 8 Iron Ingots
- 16 Medium Leather
Activate the Backpack Slot
You should place the Unlock Backpack upgrade on your hotbar and select it. After you press the Right Mouse Button, the upgrade will be activated instantly. This unlocks the Backpack slot beside your character model in the inventory. You can view backpack storage by clicking the third diamond below the Crafting tab.
How To Upgrade Backpack In Hytale
You can upgrade your Backpack in Hytale even further if you continue to upgrade your Workbench and craft more upgrades. To do so, you will need the following items:
| Backpack Upgrade | Required Materials |
|---|---|
| Upgrade 1 | 40 Cindercloth Scraps, 8 Cobalt Ingots, 24 Heavy Leather |
| Upgrade 2 | 1 Voidheart, 8 Adamantite Ingots, 16 Storm Leather |
Backpack Upgrade II is actually locked behind exploration, so you need to unlock it through the Memories system. You will need to collect 100 memories for this.
To access the Memories path, you should visit a Memory Statue in the Edge of the Echo through the Forgotten Temple Gateway. After unlocking the upgrade, you can return to a Tier 2 or higher Workbench and craft Backpack Upgrade II with the required materials.
