Dragon's Dogma 2 Carry Weight: How To Increase Inventory Size

At the start of Dragon's Dogma 2 (first six hours), I was annoyed at the fact that my character kept getting encumbered due to a low carry-weight capacity, and so did my main pawn.

It was an issue, as I had to go back and sell items or store them after nearly every outing. To help Arisen in the same boat, I've got some tips to share so you can increase your carry weight, effectively making your inventory bigger, in Dragon's Dogma 2.

Spoiler Warning: Minor spoilers in this guide include later rewards and passive skills for the Fighter Vocation.

Increase Carry Weight Tips In Dragon's Dogma 2

There are multiple ways to increase your carry weight capacity in Dragon's Dogma 2. Some of them are easier than others, but all of them are doable by any Arisen exploring the vast fantasy world. Let's bulk up with three tips of getting as much inventory space as possible.

Find Golden Trove Beetles

One of the easiest ways to gradually increase your carry weight capacity in Dragon's Dogma 2 as you explore the massive world is by consuming Golden Trove Beetles. There is, however, a limited quantity to find.

At the time of writing, we know there are over 70 Golden Trove Beetles, and each one increases your carry capacity by 0.15 kg. We suggest consuming each one you find. These also work on your main pawn!

Buff Carry Weight With Rings

Some rights in Dragon's Dogma 2 can increase your carry weight capacity. We suggest always checking vendors who sell rings or any jewelry you pick up along the way. You can equip your pawns with rings as well.

The best carry weight increase ring in Dragon's Dogma 2 is the Ring of Profusion, which provides a moderate capacity increase compared to a "slight" increase from other rings. You can only get the Ring of Profusion by handing in 70 Seeker's Coins at the Vocation guild.

Augments in Dragon's Dogma 2

Augments in Dragon's Dogma 2 are like "passive skills" for your chosen Vocation (class), and some of these Vocations have access to Augments that can increase your character's carry weight. You can unlock Augments as you level up.

An example of an Augment that increases your inventory size in Dragon's Dogma 2 is the Fighter's "Thew" skill. Unlock and enable it with a Fighter or advanced Voctation of the same type to get a carry weight increase.

That's everything prospective Arisen need to know to easily increase their carry weight capacity in Dragon's Dogma 2 and avoid that painfully slow run.
