New World's focus on crafting and endgame grinding means you'll need a place to store all of your crafting materials, gear, and miscellaneous items. Since crafting the best gear in New World requires an immense amount of time and resources, you're going to want as much storage space as possible.

Gems are essential to refining your build in New World. Here's a complete guide on where to get them, how to attach them, and how to refine them.
That's why it's important you take certain steps towards upgrading your storage space whenever possible, both for your character and the settlements you'll frequently visit. The sooner you work towards upgrading your storage, the smoother your endgame experience will be. This guide will cover every way you can increase your storage space in New World, ranging from housing to standing rewards.
Updated February 11, 2024, by Sean Murray: There's no MMORPG out there that doesn't have problems with storing all your ill-gotten loot, and New World is no exception. Thankfully, this guide can tell you how to make your item storage as painless as possible. We've also refreshed this guide's formatting to be a little easier on the eyes, given it a few more tips, and added more links to other helpful New World topics.
How To Increase Your Storage Space
There are four main ways of increasing your storage space in New World:
- Equip bags on your character.
- Craft storage chests in houses you own.
- Grab the "Storage" Territory Standing reward.
- Post your items at a Trading Post.
Refining raw materials and crafting new items are two ways of lowering the weight of items in your storage. Just keep in mind which items you're using, as some resources (especially Iron Ore) are frequently used for late-game crafting.

Ways To Make Money In New World
In New World, you'll soon need plenty of money - here are the best ways to earn some coin.
Bags And Satchels
Storage Increase | 150+ per bag |
|---|
Your only way of increasing storage space on your actual character is by equipping bags and/or satchels. These items go in a dedicated bag slot in your character's inventory.
At level 45, you can equip up to three bags at a time. Bags will grant anywhere from +150-410 storage on their own, although this number can be increased even further through perks.
Every Bag And Satchel
New World features nine different bags you can craft and equip, each with a varying storage increase. The Gear Score of your bag also determines how much it can carry, with higher scores being able to carry more items. We've listed every bag below and its storage values.

Bag | Storage(Min-Max) | Tier |

Worn Traveler's Satchel | 50 | 2 |

New World: Best Rapier Builds
The Rapier is a PVP duelist's dream in New World, Amazon's MMO. In this build guide, we cover masteries, weapon pairings, and gameplay tips.
Storage Chests
Storage Increase | Up to 525 per chest |
|---|
Any house you own can store a certain amount of storage chests, increasing your storage shed's weight limit for the settlement your house is in. The tier of your house determines how many storage chests you can craft. With a T4 house, you're able to place five storage chests in your house at a time. And just like houses, these storage chests have tiers that get progressively better.
Below is a list of every storage chest you can place in your house:
Chest | Storage | Tier |
|---|---|---|
Hewn Log Storage Chest | 200 | 1 |
Mossy Rock Storage Chest | 225 | 1 |
Old Wood Storage Chest | 225 | 1 |
Hunter Storage Chest | 325 | 2 |
Iron Storage Chest | 300 | 2 |
Stone Storage Chest | 325 | 2 |
Booty Storage Chest | 400 | 3 |
Dynasty Storage Chest | 400 | 3 |
Hope Storage Chest | 400 | 3 |
Golden Steel Storage Chest | 500 | 4 |
Cursed Storage Chest | 525 | 4 |
Polished Marble Storage Chest | 525 | 4 |

Storage Standing Card
Storage Increase | 25 per card |
|---|
One easy way to increase your storage is by grabbing the "Storage" card as a Territory Standing reward. As you increase your rank with a region, you'll be able to claim certain passive benefits in the form of cards. One of these cards will increase the limit of your storage shed in a settlement by 25 points.
That might not sound significant, but this is the only Territory Standing reward in New World that doesn't suffer from diminishing returns. Grab the storage card whenever it appears.
For more information about Territory Standing and its respective rewards, read our Territory Standing guide.

Trading Post
Storage Increase | Not definite (sizable increase) |
|---|
If you're truly desperate for storage space and don't mind a little bit of busy work, you can post your excess items at a Trading Post in a settlement. While an item is listed at a Trading Post, it doesn't take up any storage capacity.
Place your item at the Trading Post for a fairly high cost to ensure someone else doesn't buy it, then let it sit in the market for up to 14 days. When the timer runs out, the item will be returned to your storage shed in that town.
Be sure that your storage shed isn't already full if you plan to do this.
