Tales of the Shire Bigger Bags: How to Upgrade Backpacks
Your starting Tales of the Shire backpack only holds ten slots, which fills up fast when collecting ingredients and quest items. You can unlock upgrades for a bigger bag by progressing through the Foraging Club.
How to Unlock Clubs
During the “Becoming a Village” quest line, you help Bywater set up four clubs:
Fishing Club, led by Old Noakes
Cooking Club, led by Lily Cotton
Gardening Club, led by Rosie Cotton
Foraging Club, led by Delphinium Brandybuck
Once these are established, the Club Boards at the Ivy Bush Inn become available, letting you take tasks and earn club experience.
How to Get a Bigger Bag
The Foraging Club controls all backpack upgrades. Reaching Foraging Club Level 2 gives you your first bigger bag upgrade, adding five more inventory slots.
To earn this faster:
Gather mushrooms, herbs, and nuts to earn base club XP.
Complete Foraging Club tasks from the Club Board for bonus XP.
When you reach Level 2, talk to Delphinium Brandybuck to receive the bigger bag. Additional backpack upgrades unlock at later Foraging Club levels, further increasing your carrying capacity.
Why Backpack Upgrades Matter
A bigger bag reduces constant trips back home to unload items, making it easier to stockpile cooking ingredients and complete quest tasks efficiently.
Final Blurb
Tales of the Shire backpack upgrades come through the Foraging Club. Hitting Level 2 gives you a bigger bag with more space, and future milestones expand your inventory even further.
