For those who want to increase character's inventory size & stash in Diablo 4, this guide is for you, we’ll show you how to increase/maximize your stash size & Inventory space in D4 Season 1.

How to Maximize Your Stash Space in Diablo 4 Season 1 - D4 Stash & Inventory Management Tips

Stash management as with the past Diablo games especially with how much loot has been dropping in Diablo 4 is undoubtedly an integral part of the game, even an extra layer of decision making if you will, which ultimately forces you to developing game knowledge to decide whether or not it is actually worth keeping and even ways that you can organize your stash space effectively. So in today's guide, we present 5 essential and easy tips that you can use to manage and save stash space in Diablo 4 for Season 1.

Diablo 4 Stash Location - Where to Find Stash in D4

The stash is like a box in Diablo 4, where they can store items for later use. Once an item is in the stash, it's protected forever unless the player chooses to remove and either sell or salvage it manually. But where to find stash in Diablo 4?

- All you need to do is complete the prologue and go to Kyovashad, the first major location in the game. Once you're here, you must look out for the Inn. This location is denoted on the map by a wardrobe, beside which you'll notice that there's a chest icon. This is your stash in Diablo 4.

- In the beginning, you will have around 50-60 slots in your stash, but that might be inadequate, considering how big this game is. However, you will always be able to increase the slots available, but that will cost you a considerable amount of gold.

- The best part about this stash is that it's shared. So if you find gear that isn't useful for you but might benefit another character, you can drop it in your stash. Once you log in with another character, you can claim the item from it.

5 Tips to Maximize Your Stash Space & Inventory Size in Diablo 4 Season 1

#1. Filter out the best legendary aspect

The very first tip to maximize inventory size in D4 Season 1 is to filter out the best legendary aspect to save based on your goals and specializations that you'll be playing. So for example, if our goal right now is to focus on Druid and a specific type of Druid being the Tornado Slash Lightning Storm Druid, we'll be saving the legendary aspects that'll be useful for that build and also the ones with the best pros especially as they progress into the higher levels and start collecting more of these same aspects. So the way we progressed into it was as we really honed in on these favorite builds, we started filtering out the other Druid aspects that are not going to be useful in the end game. For example, all the wearbear ones, we've s started not saving nearly as many of those legendary aspects like for example the ones that help pulverize. So I've only been saving the top roles for those aspects in case say Blizzard does some balance changes and we happen to want to go back, we still save some of those, but compared to the main specs we've been playing, we've been proportionally saving a lot fewer of those legendary aspects that are not of the main spec and are only saving the best roles for those if any. 

As though as we kept gearing up and getting stronger and holding in on storm build, we would then check stash to do a bit of a cleanup, then progressively toss out and become more selective with not only legendary aspects, keeping more of the ones that we might need and those with higher rolls. But also with the items themselves, the bases themselves, including legendary items which can also act as bases. So we would also start tossing out some of the lower item power bases, especially if their legendary aspect rule was not very useful either. And not only that but besides the class and specialization specific legendary aspects, which again you want to keep the best roles for your own specialization while keeping the ones for suspects more toned down and limited. Anyhow, there are also other non-class specific legendary aspects which are usable by any class, and so it would really benefit you to know which ones are actually useful and perhaps popular and used by a lot of specializations across all the classes.

To save inventory and stash space in Diablo 4, you can also start filling up your aspects inventory, because it has its own designated inventory, so you can also use that as part of your storage for specifically aspects.

#2. Save only high item power

The tip number two is to save only high item power which is close to 800 assuming you're on World Tier 4, bases which includes both rares and legendaries and here's the key part with only good affixes. Which if you're not really familiar with how damage and defenses work in Diablo 4, you might not have a very good idea about what physics are actually really good compared to other ones and which ones are almost useless. There can definitely be some new ones depending on the specialization that you're playing and what it actually specifically needs. But to generalize for you, here are the offensive, defensive and miscellaneous effects that you generally cannot go wrong with which are also a lot better than most of the other affixes that are available for that type. And in fact, these are fixes we've listed here are usually so much more powerful than all the other ones that they're actually preferred by the vast majority of specializations. 

#3. Reroll enchants

Tip number three is closely tied to tip number two regarding bases and that has to re-roll, also known as enchant. You're potentially good bases which for example are missing one or two good affixes but could become really good after just a re-roll. If you do that early, you'll be able to potentially save a lot more space. For example, if you reroll an item too many times and it becomes too expensive without getting the effects you need, and if it's not a super high item power item, you might just consider replacing it or tossing it out, because the enchantment costs were not worth the re-roll anymore. So with this strategy instead of hoarding a bunch of potentially good bases in your stash, you may want to just take a bunch of them out first and then just try re-rolling each one. So that not only can you eliminate the ones that don't end up rerolling very well and are not really high end anyway, but also if you do happen to land a really good item for that specific slot by rerolling, you'll be able to then toss out all the other ones for that slot. Because you already got your best item or even just a really good item for that slot. 

#4. Don’t save for alts

If you like to play alts, saving gear for alts is generally grossly overrated as well. And the reason for that is first of all at a high level when you get gear to drop, they actually always come with level requirements too which is the same level as your character's level that made that gear drop. So if you're playing on a high level main and you get an item that you think you might not need on your main but you might want to save for an alt, it'll actually have the same level requirement as your main at the level that you got it at. So by the time you play an alt, not only will you not be able to use it until much later on, but by then when your alt does reach that level that your main was at earlier, that all Polly would have found other pieces of gear that are comparable or even more suitable for them already. So unless you really know what you're specifically doing to not generally have to worry too much about saving gear for your alts, unless it's like a super godly drop with the absolute highest rolls on the best affixes or like a perfectly rolled legendary aspect that is also a useful one since each individual character in Diablo 4 is fairly self-sufficient, that's just the way the game is designed. So rather than saving up a bunch of gear that they might not be able to use until very later on and that they might not even end up using anyway, we would rather save some additional stash base for the progression of that character which we can manage with replacing, with upgrades and stuff like that, with that individual character. 

If you really do have items that you really want to keep for whatever reason and definitely on running out of stash base, one sort of Last Resort or I guess some people just do this more naturally and that is to create mule characters to hold extra items in their inventory with. Because in Diablo 4, you get limited stash space which is a shared stash with up to 4 tabs at least as of right now, later on with seasons and whatnot there will definitely be additional stash tabs that we'll get. But for now with 4 stash tabs, shared across all your characters, some people actually like to make so-called mule characters for the specific purpose of holding extra items in their inventory. And to the point that some people even name specific characters for the item type that they hold, such as one that has general legendary aspects usable by any class, another with class specific legendary aspects, and so on.
