Inventory Expansion Priority

Prioritize the Weapon Slot First

Inventory Expansion Priority
Weapon Slot > Bow Slot > Shield Slot

It is recommended to prioritize with expanding your weapon slot as you will most likely use melee weapons in combat, followed by the bow slot and the shield slot. Weapons are also the most plentiful, and they tend to break much quicker than the other two.

If you prefer fighting up close, you can prioritize with expanding the shield slot instead of the bow slot.
