- Little Witch in the Woods inventory full progression starts with eight spaces and ends at 24.
- Aurea’s upgrades add four inventory slots each and require 3,550 gold in total.
- Potion delivery quests are the most reliable way to build gold for larger bag upgrades.
- Early storage planning prevents unnecessary trips and protects valuable gathering time.
Little Witch in the Woods Inventory Full: Upgrade Basics
The Little Witch in the Woods inventory full system begins with eight available spaces, which can become restrictive as Ellie gathers ingredients, crafting materials, and exploration items. The fastest long-term solution is to unlock Wisteria Village, remove the giant prickly vines, and speak with Aurea about expanding the bag.
Every purchased upgrade adds four spaces. There are four upgrades available, bringing Ellie from eight spaces to a maximum of 24. The price increases with each purchase, so saving gold before visiting Aurea makes the progression smoother.
Do not collect every resource immediately. Pick up materials needed for current tasks, recipes, and upgrades, then return for less urgent items after expanding the bag.
| Upgrade Stage | Available Spaces | Upgrade Cost | Total Gold Spent |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starting bag | 8 | None | 0 |
| Upgrade 1 | 12 | 250 gold | 250 |
| Upgrade 2 | 16 | 400 gold | 650 |
| Upgrade 3 | 20 | 900 gold | 1,550 |
| Upgrade 4 | 24 | 2,000 gold | 3,550 |
The first upgrade is relatively affordable and gives an immediate improvement during gathering trips. The final upgrade costs substantially more, so it is better treated as a medium-term goal rather than an early purchase.
8 Slots
The starting capacity. Use selective gathering and avoid carrying low-priority materials.
12 Slots
The first practical expansion. It reduces short trips and helps with basic ingredient collection.
16 Slots
A useful midpoint for regular forest exploration and potion preparation.
24 Slots
The maximum bag capacity after purchasing all four upgrades from Aurea.
The most important distinction is between inventory capacity and workshop storage capacity. Bag upgrades affect what Ellie carries while exploring. Workshop storage upgrades affect materials left at the workshop. Increasing both systems creates a better gathering loop than focusing on only one.
See the inventory upgrade guide from ScreenRant for the upgrade costs and village requirements summarized in this article.
How to Unlock Aurea’s Bag Upgrades
Aurea does not offer the bag expansion immediately. Ellie must first progress far enough to reach Wisteria Village and destroy the prickly vines blocking access. Once the village is available, Aurea becomes the main NPC for increasing inventory capacity.
The unlock process is straightforward, but the timing matters. If you spend all early gold on optional purchases or fail to keep enough room for quest materials, reaching the first upgrade can take longer.
Before the village is unlocked, inventory space is limited and storage options are more important. Carry only materials connected to active objectives whenever possible.
Progress Until Wisteria Village Opens
Continue the early story progression until Ellie gains access to the village area. The bag upgrade option becomes available after the prickly vines blocking the route are destroyed.
Locate Aurea
Speak with Aurea in Wisteria Village. Her dialogue includes the option to expand Ellie’s bag once the required progression has been completed.
Save for the Next Upgrade
Check the current price before spending gold elsewhere. The four costs are 250, 400, 900, and 2,000 gold.
Purchase Capacity in Order
Each purchase adds four spaces. Repeat the process whenever Ellie has enough gold for the next tier.
| Requirement | What to Do | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Village access | Progress through the early story | Wisteria Village becomes available |
| Vine removal | Destroy the giant prickly vines | Aurea can be reached |
| NPC interaction | Speak with Aurea | Bag expansion becomes selectable |
| Gold supply | Complete deliveries or sell items | Funds the next capacity tier |
A practical approach is to purchase the first two upgrades as soon as they are affordable, then decide whether to prioritize the 900-gold and 2,000-gold tiers. The early expansions provide useful convenience, while the final tier requires sustained income.
Fast Gold Strategies for Inventory Expansion
Gold is the main barrier to a full inventory. Potion delivery quests from Aurea provide the strongest income option described for this progression, while selling items works better as supplemental income.
After Wisteria Village is accessible, speak with Aurea each day and review the available delivery quest. The reward is shown before accepting it, allowing you to judge whether the required potions fit your current materials and schedule.
Accept potion delivery quests when you can prepare the requested items before the deadline. Their rewards are generally more valuable than selling individual materials.
Each delivery has a deadline of 6 p.m. on the following day. Missing that deadline causes Ellie to lose trust with Aurea, so do not accept a delivery unless you can reasonably gather the ingredients, craft the potions, and return them in time.
| Gold Method | Best Use | Main Advantage | Main Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| Potion delivery | Primary upgrade funding | Large reward for one completed objective | Deadline management |
| Selling items | Small cash gaps | Immediate income from spare materials | Lower value than deliveries |
| Selective gathering | Reducing wasted trips | Keeps valuable materials available | Requires planning |
| Storage upgrades | Long-term efficiency | Lets Ellie leave materials at the workshop | Requires gold and materials |
Use selling carefully. Materials that appear plentiful may still be needed for crafting, quests, or later preparation. Selling surplus items can help reach the next bag tier, but keeping a reserve is safer than liquidating every resource.
A simple income loop is:
- Check Aurea’s delivery request.
- Compare the required potions with your current ingredients.
- Gather only the missing materials.
- Craft and deliver before the deadline.
- Put the reward toward the next bag expansion.
When the delivery reward is not convenient, spend the day gathering known needs instead of filling the bag with random resources. This approach makes each trip support a specific upgrade or quest goal.
Inventory and Workshop Storage Management
Bag capacity is only one part of resource management. Workshop storage can also be expanded through Kyla after she is present in the village. Each workshop storage upgrade adds four spaces, and there are two upgrades available.
The workshop upgrades require gold, branches, and pieces of rock. Because the exact requirements differ from the bag costs, keep basic construction materials instead of selling every extra branch or rock for quick income.
Use Ellie’s bag for active exploration materials and workshop storage for items that are not needed during the current trip. This keeps gathering routes flexible.
| Storage Type | Managed By | Maximum Expansion | Upgrade Materials |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ellie’s inventory | Aurea | 24 total spaces | Gold |
| Workshop storage | Kyla | Two upgrades, four spaces each | Gold, branches, pieces of rock |
| Temporary carry load | Ellie during exploration | Depends on bag tier | No separate upgrade |
Before Leaving
Check the active quest, clear unnecessary items, and reserve room for expected ingredients.
During Exploration
Prioritize quest materials, potion ingredients, and resources needed for the next upgrade.
After Returning
Move nonessential materials into workshop storage and prepare for the next delivery route.
Workshop storage is especially useful when Ellie returns with several resource types but does not need to carry them into the next forest trip. Expanding it alongside the bag reduces the chance of discarding useful materials.
Inventory Upgrade Checklist:
- Reach Wisteria Village and destroy the blocking prickly vines
- Speak with Aurea to unlock bag expansion
- Purchase the 250-gold and 400-gold upgrades
- Use potion deliveries to fund the 900-gold and 2,000-gold tiers
- Ask Kyla about workshop storage after she joins the village
Recommended Upgrade Route and Common Mistakes
The best route depends on whether you are gathering, crafting, or completing deliveries, but a balanced order works for most players. First, unlock the village. Next, purchase the least expensive capacity upgrades. Then use delivery rewards to fund the expensive tiers while maintaining enough materials for workshop storage.
Do not treat the 24-slot maximum as an early requirement. The first two bag upgrades already make routine trips easier, and the final two are long-term convenience goals.
Buy the first affordable bag expansion, keep delivery materials intact, and use workshop storage to protect resources that are not needed on your next outing.
| Mistake | Why It Causes Problems | Better Approach |
|---|---|---|
| Picking up every item | Fills the bag before key materials are collected | Gather for a specific quest or recipe |
| Selling all branches and rocks | Can delay workshop storage upgrades | Keep a reserve for Kyla’s upgrades |
| Accepting every delivery | Missed deadlines reduce trust | Accept quests you can complete on schedule |
| Saving only for 2,000 gold | Delays useful early capacity | Purchase lower tiers when affordable |
| Ignoring workshop storage | Forces repeated trips and item drops | Expand storage after Kyla arrives |
Use the following route when planning a longer play session:
- Begin at the workshop and remove items that are not needed.
- Check Aurea’s available delivery and note the deadline.
- Gather the missing ingredients while leaving room for unexpected finds.
- Return to craft and deliver the potions.
- Deposit materials, then save the reward toward the next upgrade.
This route keeps gold generation, inventory space, and storage capacity moving together. It also reduces the need to abandon resources when the bag fills during forest exploration.
The final target is simple: 24 spaces in Ellie’s bag, plus improved workshop storage. Reaching that point requires 3,550 gold for the four bag upgrades, so steady delivery completion is more practical than relying only on item sales.
Q: How many inventory spaces does Ellie start with?
Ellie starts with eight inventory spaces. Each Aurea upgrade adds four more spaces.
Q: What is the maximum inventory size?
The maximum is 24 spaces after purchasing all four bag upgrades from Aurea.
Q: How much gold is needed for every bag upgrade?
