In New World, your inventory quickly reaches its limits. This makes bags that increase your carrying capacity even more important. We at MeinMMO present you with a short quest through which you can obtain a large and useful bag for free.
What kind of quest is this? The quest is called “Ebenmaß-Alligatoren” and you can accept it from the NPC Bartram Hopkins, who is located in the settlement of Ebenmaß.
As a prerequisite, you do not have a long quest line to follow but need to reach level 49. After that, you can accept the quest and turn it in immediately after completion to get the bag.
What is your task? You need to collect 8 Ebony Scales. For this, you only need to defeat alligators in the area marked by the quest.
The quest isn’t particularly difficult, but the alligators are level 52. That shouldn’t be a problem, even if you take the quest at level 49.
What does the reward look like? The reward is an Alligator Leather Bag. It provides:
- 255 additional inventory weight
- 84 extra inventory weight from the effect
- The weight of hides, leather, and the skinning knife is reduced by 9.1%.
Additionally, you receive 102 Coins, a bit of XP, and 175 reputation for the area of Ebenmaß.

Inventory weight is a major topic
How to get more bags? Since the inventory is always too full, bags play an important role. Besides this quest, you can only obtain them through crafting or the trading post.
However, even small bags cost significantly over 500 Coins. Bags in the size range of the quest can go up to 2,000 Coins. You can save a lot of money here.
How many bag slots are there? At levels 10, 30, and 45, you unlock an additional bag each time. Small bags increase your inventory weight by 100, while the largest bags increase it by nearly 300, not including enchantments.
