Backpacks are unique upgrades that expand the number of items you can carry in your inventory beyond the initial 70. Each Backpack increases your maximum inventory by 10.
Backpacks are found with specific traders across Amalur.
Their price will decrease as you take ranks in the Mercantile skill.

On your journey through the Kingdoms of Amalur, these are the locations where you will be able to buy backpack that will give you extra 10 slots in your inventory. Locations are sorted in a way where you will be able to find them first if you follow the main quest.
