The cave walls narrowed, and the beam of my torch danced across a glistening pile of ore. My pickaxe felt heavier than usual, and my inventory was screaming for mercy. That’s when it hit me: I needed more space, and fast, or I’d be forced to leave precious resources behind. The backpack isn’t just storage; it’s an extension of yourself in Hytale, as valuable as any weapon.
When you begin, space seems infinite, but as you advance and need more refined materials, things change. This guide details how to maximize your inventory—a skill that separates the dabblers from the dynamos.
How to Get a Backpack in Hytale
Think of your real-world closet: always overflowing, right? In Hytale, your first goal for increased inventory is crafting a Backpack. First, create a Workbench. At tier 1, this requires three stones and four logs. Upgrade the Workbench to tier 2 using:
- 30 Copper Ingot
- 20 Iron Ingot
- 20 Linen Scraps
Mine Copper and Iron and smelt them into Ingots using a Furnace. Linen Scraps are dropped by humanoid enemies like Skeletons.
With a Tier 2 Workbench, create a Backpack using:
- 16 Medium Leather
- 8 Iron Ingot
Add the upgrade recipe to your hotbar, consume it with RMB, and craft the Backpack. Voila, extra slots!
How to Upgrade Your Backpack in Hytale
Consider your car’s trunk: it’s spacious, but sometimes you need even more room. Backpack upgrades in Hytale work the same way. There are two upgrades. The first becomes available with a Tier 3 Workbench, needing:
- 40 Cindercloth Scraps
- 8 Cobalt Ingot
- 24 Heavy Leather
What if I don’t have a Forgotten Temple nearby?
The second Backpack upgrade requires 100 Memories at the Forgotten Temple. The recipe requires:
- 1 Voidheart
- 8 Adamantite Ingot
- 16 Storm Leather
The initial Backpack adds nine extra slots. Subsequent upgrades further expand your carrying capacity.
Where can I find Adamantite Ingot?
Locating Adamantite Ingot often means venturing into more challenging zones. Remember to prepare properly before seeking it out. Better equipment makes all the difference in survival and efficiency.
What is the value of a Voidheart in Hytale’s economy?
A default Backpack adds 9 slots, with subsequent upgrades increasing that amount. You can see the backpack and its tiers as a multiplier for efficiency, something that compounds with every hour spent in the world.
With maximum inventory, you can spend less time managing items and more time exploring. But is the grind for materials worth the reward of extra space?
