How to increase backpack inventory slots in Enshrouded

You can increase backpack inventory slots by acquiring Backpack Extensions. This particular upgrade can only be crafted via the Hunter, an NPC that can be rescued during the sandbox campaign. You can refer to our Hunter location guide if you need help with this objective.

Assuming you've already saved the Hunter, you can place her inside an enclosed building at your base. This serves as her shelter, and it also unlocks a side quest. The goal now is to find Salt for her wares.

The Hunter's side quest, Salt Mine Location, can be completed by heading to the Egerton Salt Mines (shown on the map image above). It's due west of the Springlands Ancient Spire fast travel point, and slightly northeast of where you can find the Alchemist NPC. The entire area is blanketed by a deadly fog, so make sure you're well-prepared by having a means of surviving longer in the Shroud.

If you're already in the Egerton Salt Mines complex, look for tunnels that lead deeper into caverns. You should fine square or cube-like protrusions on the walls. These are Salt deposits that you can mine. Go ahead and use the Pickaxe to collect a lot of these resources.
