A big part of playing Diablo 4 is completing one small part of its immense amount of content and filling your inventory with loot. Some of that gear you might use, but the majority will end up salvaged or sold. But does that have to be the case? Can you increase your inventory size in Diablo 4 to hoard to your heart’s content? We’ll answer those questions in this guide.

How Inventory Size Works in Diablo 4
Yes and no. Your character’s inventory size in Diablo 4 is fixed to the 33 total squares on the grid, meaning you can only hold that many items before you need to either drop some or offload them back in town. One way to give yourself more inventory space in Diablo 4 is to limit the rarity of the items you pick up. Once Rares start to drop, you can stop collecting Magic and Common items, and the same will go for those Rares once Legendaries are your goal.
The enormous increase in inventory comes not from your character but your Stash. You’ll find Stashes — large treasure chests in your living quarters, also denoted by a chest icon on the map — in all the capital cities.
You Stash starts out providing fifty additional spaces for gear and lets you store items across your account, letting your other classes benefit from the drops from a higher-level character. Of course, fifty additional slots can seem a pittance if you’re a serious collector, so you can buy fifty additional slots for the low, low price of 100,000 gold. You’ll still need to return to town to put away your best finds, but a larger Stash means more storage and more ability to grind.
The catch, however, is that the price for even more Stash tabs goes up after each purchase. Adding a third set of fifty slots is 200,000 gold, for instance, and the prices skyrocket from there. My advice? Only store the absolute best items you find, and do semi-regular cleanings.
The Diablo 4 endgame is incredibly crafting material-hungry. If you’ve been hoarding tons of trash Rare and even subpar Legendaries for the rainy day that never comes, you can quickly and easily turn those into fuel for much more powerful gear. You’ll need it.
