You do not start out with much inventory space in Black Desert Online, but you can increase them by doing quests or buying them from the Pearl Shop.
The Pearl Shop costs real money, so you will probably want to get all the free ones from doing quests first. Some of the quests require going through a quest line before you unlock the quest that gives the extra inventory slots.
I will make it easier for you by listing all the quests that give more inventory space, where they are, and the other rewards you might get. They will also be separated into categories to make it clearer. If you want more general help with the game, visit my Black Desert Online Beginner Tips and Tricks.
This guide will go over increasing your inventory space in Black Desert Online including:
The ocean was there before. All they did was switch some mechanics and make people do extra work on the ships they had previously completed or they were useless. I would call it an update sure.but to say it is an expansion is rediculous. Expansions have new CONTENT. Like ADDED map coverage with new biomes/creatures quests etc. This doesn't.

Inventory Quest List
You get most of the quests from the Black Spirit as you level, but there are other NPCs that give them as well. There are also some situations that require you to choose between 2 quests, so you can only do 1. I'll separate the quests into 3 categories to make it easier, General, Selection, and Black Spirit.
There are a total of 31 additional inventory slots you can add by completing quests.

Black Desert Online Quests
Increasing Max Weight
When you start getting a lot of inventory slots, and money, it will start weighing you down. Once you go over your max weight, you will start to move slower and eventually be unable to jump.
To fix this, you'll want to level your strength.You can level strength by walking around with Trade Items. When you buy trade items and travel on foot, you'll get a bundle to carry on your back. Check my Node Management and Trade System Guide for more details.
You can only walk when you do this, so make sure you do not go into battle. It can take a long time to level Strength, but there is a way to level it while you go AFK and do other things.
If you have a controller that you can use on PC, go to settings and game, then select 'Use Gamepad'.
Now you can move around with the attached controller.
- Use a rubber band, hair tie, or something elastic to hold the 2 control sticks in position.
- Point them towards each other and you will walk in circles.
- Now you can leave the PC to do other things and profit.
This is best done over night or when you are going to be away from the computer because you can't use the computer while this is happening.
That's it for my guide on the Inventory Quests and How to Train Strength in Black Desert Online. Let me know if you have any questions!
