You get bags in World of Warcraft: Forever from General Goods and Trade Supplies vendors in any town, from low-level quests, from Tailors (directly or through the Auction House) and, rarely, as drops. The quickest first bag is a 6-slot Small Brown Pouch for about 5 silver from the nearest General Goods vendor.
Below are the vendor bags and prices, the capital bag sellers, the free quest bag for each race, what Tailors make, and the new reagent bags. Slot counts come from Forever’s item data as of November 8. Prices are approximate, since faction reputation discounts change them.
One Forever change first: Blizzard’s November 2 notes say bags “will no longer automatically equip into available bag slots.” After you buy or loot one, drag it to an empty bag slot beside your backpack yourself, or it just sits in your inventory.
Bags You Can Buy From Vendors
| Bag | Slots | About | Who sells it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small Brown Pouch | 6 | 5 silver | General Goods and Trade Supplies vendors |
| Brown Leather Satchel | 8 | 25 silver | General Goods and Trade Supplies vendors |
| Heavy Brown Bag | 10 | 2 gold | General Goods vendors and bag vendors |
| Huge Brown Sack | 12 | 10 gold | Bag vendors in the capitals only |
City guards can point you to a vendor: Blizzard’s new player’s starter guide says they give directions and mark the spot on your map.
Capital City Bag Vendors
The 12-slot Huge Brown Sack is the biggest bag a vendor sells, and these are the people who stock it:

Free Quest Bags for Each Race

Bigger quest bags come a little later, and all of them are free:
| Bag | Slots | Quest | Where | From level |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Old Blanchy’s Feed Pouch | 8 | Poor Old Blanchy | Verna Furlbrow, Westfall (bring 8 Handfuls of Oats) | 9 |

| Scuffed Shipping Crate | 8 | Parts and Pieces | Wrenix the Wretched, Ratchet | 9 |
| Deviate Hide Pack | 10 | Deviate Hides | Wailing Caverns in The Barrens | 13 |
Bags Made by Tailors
Tailoring makes the best general bags in the game, and you can get them from a friend, the Auction House or your own needle. Our Tailoring leveling guide shows where each band of the profession sits.
| Bag | Slots |
|---|---|
| Linen Bag | 6 |
| Red Linen Bag, Woolen Bag, Green Woolen Bag, Red Woolen Bag | 8 |
| Small Silk Pack, Green Silk Pack, Black Silk Pack | 10 |
| Mageweave Bag, Red Mageweave Bag | 12 |
| Runecloth Bag | 14 |
| Mooncloth Bag | 18 |
| Bottomless Bag | 20 |
Leatherworkers on the Horde side can also make a 6-slot Kodo Hide Bag.
Reagent and Tradeskill Bags
Forever adds reagent bags, which go in their own separate slot and hold crafting materials. The first ones are the 6-slot Linen Reagent Bag, made by Tailors from a pattern sold by Tailoring Supplies vendors, and the 6-slot Light Leather Reagent Bag. They climb from there: Woolen at 8, Silk and Spidersilk Sack at 10, Mageweave at 12, Runecloth at 14.
Gatherers get cheap starter storage too. Trade Supplies vendors sell the 4-slot Apprentice’s Herb Pouch, Apprentice’s Mining Pack and Apprentice’s Skinning Satchel, and Blizzard’s hotfix notes fixed a launch issue where the Zephras Isle vendors did not stock them.
Bags That Drop
The Small Red, Blue, Black and Green Pouches are 6-slot bags that drop from monsters in the starting zones, at about 1% or less. Take one if it falls, and sell it if your slots are already full, but never farm for them: 5 silver buys the same bag.
What to Buy First
- Take your free race quest bag as soon as it is offered.
- Fill the other slots with Small Brown Pouches while silver is tight.
- Upgrade to Brown Leather Satchels once you have a few silver to spare from selling gray items.
- Check the Auction House before paying 2 gold or more. Our gold guide recommends buying bags from other players whenever they undercut the vendor, and Tailors leveling on Wool and Silk have bags to sell.
Once your slots are full, our best addons guide lists Baganator for sorting them, and every guide lives on our World of Warcraft hub.
