You can hold a maximum of 24 items in your bag, but you can also store items in a bank. You have two storages, of which you can utilise 48 slots in your personal storage and The other is combined which is for all of your characters to use, so you can transfer between your characters with ease.
It costs 150 dinas per withdrawal per slot if you are using the combined storage.. For example it will cost cost 150 dinas to take out 1 weapon (which takes one slot) and it will still cost 150 if you try to take out 10 potions, because they still use only one slot.
