It might not seem like it from the start, but Hogwarts Legacy is full of loot to collect. Most of it will be new gear that gives your witch or wizard new stats, as well as a fresh look. That's all well and good, however, your custom character doesn't have the deepest of pockets when you first arrive. Initially, you will be limited to a mere 20 items in your inventory, which will fill up fast. Rather than resort to selling or breaking down old gear to get new sets, here's how you can increase your inventory space in Hogwarts Legacy.

  • Complete the Trials of Merlin main quest

  • Complete Trials of Merlin milestones

How to increase your inventory size

Unfortunately, you will have to wait for a few hours before you can start buffing up your inventory capacity.

Step 1: Progress through the main quest line until you complete the Trials of Merlin quest.

Step 2: This will create new Merlin Trials to complete all over your map as you start the "Complete Merlin Trials" challenge.

Step 3: Begin hunting down and completing Merlin Trials.

Step 4: Each milestone of this challenge will unlock two additional inventory slots. Completing them all can double your normal inventory size to 40.

Step 5: Just completing the trails won't automatically upgrade your inventory. Remember to actually claim the rewards in your menu for each milestone to expand your inventory.

How to rebind skills in Avowed

Making proper use of all your best abilities in Avowed is the easiest of the tips and tricks you can take into the game. When you begin, you will have your healing and mana potions set on your quick select bar, followed by the first skill you unlock and first companion ability. That's great in the early game, but it isn't long before you unlock new skills that you want on that slot more than what is put there for you. You can always access all your abilities through the tactical menu, but that is a bit cumbersome. Instead, here's how you can remap your quick skills to whatever you want.

How long is Avowed?

When it was first revealed, Avowed drew a lot of comparisons to Skyrim. Both are fantasy RPGs playable in first or third-person and set in open worlds, so it made some sense to compare the two. However, Obsidian later clarified that Avowed was not an open world in the same sense as an Elder Scrolls, and was more hub-based like The Outer Worlds. This left fans wondering just how long of an RPG this would be. Even though the game will be available on Game Pass, it is important to know how long or short of a time investment is before deciding when you want to start it. Here's how long you can expect to spend exploring the Living Lands in Avowed.

Even though the world in Avowed isn't anywhere close to as big as Skyrim, each zone is dense with activities, side quests, and secrets. Your playtime will heavily depend on how much optional content you decide to partake in. In our experience, doing most of the primary side content, our playthrough took around 35 hours. Had we focused only on the main story, we predict it could be finished in between 15 and 20 hours depending on the difficulty level and your individual skill. This is roughly the same as The Outer Worlds.

When Avowed was first revealed, it drew a lot of comparisons to a game like Skyrim. While there are some similarities, such as playing in third-person or unlocking new abilities, the Living Lands are not nearly as expansive as that other open-world game. You will need plenty of tips and tricks to survive, but getting around is one of the first problems you will want to overcome. Quests will take you back and forth across the zones, so fast travel will make your life much easier. Here's how to unlock and use fast travel.
