Aim for carrying six or seven bags. Also get in the habit of looting absolutely everything off every creature you kill, then go and sell those items to the vendor. Make note of which fetch only a few copper pieces and which are worth several gold, then prioritize the latter in your hunting. Things like poison venom sacs, Iksar Targ shields and the "cracked staff" are much more valuable to vendors than a piece of spiderling silk, for example. Once you're able to start regularly vendoring those type of items, you should start acquiring a decent enough amount of platinum to allow you to level and buy all the spells, food and bags you need.

So six large sewing kits is the best inventory management strat? Today I found three Iksar Targ Shields got over 3 platinum now... And a backpack full of bloodwater and earthworm munchs...

Are six large sewing kits really the best item to carry items in your inventory?

They are the cheapest way to get as many Giant-sized slots as possible. More slots means fewer trips back to town to sell ... which means more time leveling and looting.

That being said, the large sewing kit only holds 8 items, weighs 3 stone, and has no weight reduction. Eevntually you can do better.

For instance, the Shralok Pack also holds 8 Giant items, but it only weighs 0.4 stone, and reduces the weight of items placed inside by 25%. Depending on your class, you can likely farm these packs yourself at level 22 or 23.

But there are lots of bags: https://wiki.project1999.com/Bags. The "gold standard" is the Bag of the Tinkers, with 10 giant slots, 1.0 stone weight, 100% weight reduction (although raiders can acquire an even lighter version).
