How to increase your inventory space in Windrose

Windrose is as much about collecting different items as it is about exploration, and a key aspect is to increase your inventory by adding extra slots. The process of expanding your inventory is fairly easy, but it can be confusing.

This guide will help you understand how to increase your inventory size.

How to craft the Torn Silcloth Bag in Windrose

The first way to increase inventory size is by using the Torn Sailcloth Bag. This item adds four extra slots to your inventory. You’ll need to equip it in the Accessories section, and you’ll need to always keep it equipped to get the extra slots.

For starters, you’ll need a workbench. Scroll down to the Torn Sailcloth Bag from Plans and Recipes, and choose the recipe. Then, you’ll need the following items to craft the bag.

• One Rope: To get a Rope, you’ll need five Plant Fibers.
• Two Coarse Fabric. You’ll need to find 20 Plant Fibers for each Coarse Fabric.

If you’ve obtained the Torn Sailcloth Bag and are still not satisfied with your inventory, you can also craft the Sailor Backpack. You can equip it to get eight extra inventory slots. You need to equip it from the Accessories section. You’ll need the following materials to make the Sailor Backpack

• One Torn Sailcloth Bag
• Five Rough Hide: To get Rough Hide, you’ll need to slay boars and hunt their remains.
• Two Copper Ingots: Copper Ingots are easy to find, and you’ll be introduced to them as part of the tutorial.

Windrose‘s map might appear pretty small at first, but it expands quickly once you explore new areas. After a certain point, traveling from one point to another will take a lot of time, whether you travel the distance on land or by ship.

Thankfully, there’s a pretty elaborate fast travel system that’s been added from the demo to the early access version.

How does fast travel work in Windrose

If you’ve played the demo of Windrose, you’ll be pretty well aware of the system in place. If you’re someone completely new, read on. Once you’ve completed the first quest and started How My Shore Adventure Began (can’t miss as it’s part of the main story), you’ll be able to smelt your first copper ingot.

Once you know how to get Copper Ingot, you’ll be able to make a Fast Travel Bell using the Workbench. You’ll need 10 Copper Ingots and three Ropes to create a bell. Incidentally, you can also get Fast Travel Bell as random loot.

To set up a network, you’ll also need to create a Fast Travel Point. You can do that from the build menu. To create a Fast Travel Point, you’ll need 20 Wood and one Fast Travel Bell.

Before you can fast travel, you’ll need at least two points in two different locations. You can create two points on the same island, but they have to be distant from one another. Fast Travel Points can only be placed near water.

When you’re on your ship, you can fast travel from any location by selecting the point. This works as long as you’re not being chased by an enemy or in active combat. If you’re walking on foot, you’ll have to travel to a Fast Travel Point manually. I am unsure as to why the system works like this, but it is what it is.

Additionally, you can also find random Fast Travel Points existing in several locations. The different faction islands also have them, and you can use those after activating them by manually traveling to those locations. Once done, those travel points will be automatically added to your network.
