Coral Island: How to Upgrade Your Backpack

Inventory space is essential in Coral Island and the best way to increase it is by upgrading your backpack.

In a game that requires gathering everything you can carry, from foraging items to various minerals, extra inventory space means extra money or quest items.

One of the best beginner tips in Coral Island involves foraging often and hoarding stuff since most items will be needed later on. Extra inventory space allows you to do that more efficiently.

In this guide, I will explain how to upgrade your backpack in Coral Island to increase your inventory space and carry more items.

How to Upgrade Your Backpack

Upgrading inventory to 40 costs 12.000 coins.

To upgrade the backpack in Coral Island, players should visit Sam’s General Store. Keep in mind that Sam’s General Store is only open during specific hours every day, except Wednesdays when it’s closed. Here is when you can visit it:

  • Monday – Saturday (except Wednesday): 9 am-5 pm
  • Sunday: 12 pm-5 pm

Interact with Sam behind the counter and select the upgrade bag option. When purchasing an upgrade, the next one will become available for purchase. Each upgrade comes at a different price.

Here are all the inventory upgrades in Coral Island, as well as their cost:

  • Increase storage to 20 – 500 coins
  • Increase storage to 30 – 3.500 coins
  • Increase storage to 40 – 12.000 coins

I highly recommend getting at least the first two upgrades as early as possible. They are affordable and will make a huge difference. Especially in the early game, where you want to carry every single item you find, a larger inventory will be a lifesaver.

Craft Multiple Chests

30-slot inventory in Coral Island is more than enough for the early game.

If inventory upgrades are too expensive for now, consider crafting multiple chests to save everything there. This will require traveling back to store stuff more often, but you’ll be stockpiling a lot of essential items.

You can either craft multiple makeshift chests, which have 20 slots each, or fewer stone chests, which have 40 slots each.

Stone chests are unlocked at mining mastery level 6.

Conclusion

And that’s everything you need to know on how to upgrade your backpack and inventory space in Coral Island.

All it takes is visiting Sam’s General Store when it’s open and buying the bag upgrade.

Another key feature in the game that will make your life significantly easier is fast traveling. Consider checking out our guide on how to unlock fast traveling in Coral Island.
