Forever's files have a run of new levelling bags, from 6 to 18 slots
· ForeverDB
The Forever client files include a set of new bags sized for levelling, from 6-slot starter pouches up to an 18-slot satchel. They bind on pickup, so you earn them rather than buy them; Wowhead's guide lists them as quest rewards.
Wowhead posted a guide on 15 November about saving gold and bag space from quest rewards while levelling in Forever. We can't read which quest hands over which bag from the game files, but we can see the bags themselves, and Forever has added a whole run of new ones aimed at levelling.
The quest behind each bag is Wowhead's report, not something the files confirm. The bag names, sizes and binding below come from the Forever client files (site/data/items.json).
The new bags, by size
All of these are new in recent Forever builds and bind on pickup, so you earn them rather than buy or craft them. The sizes are from the files. The level next to each group is the level the files key the bag to, not a requirement (most have none).
- 6 slots, starter zones: Simple Leather Satchel, Book Bag, Collecting Basket, Soft Saber Sack, Scorched Leather Pouch, Canvas Latchbag and Restored Small Brown Pouch. Seven separate 6-slot bags, which fits one per starting area.
- 8 slots, around level 10: Scuffed Shipping Crate, Restored Brown Leather Satchel and Woolen Bag.
- 10 slots, around level 15 to 20: Hunting Satchel and Restored Heavy Brown Bag.
- 12 slots, around level 24 to 30: Spidersilk Pouch and Sturdy Lunchbox.
- 14 slots, around level 47: Smoking Satchel.
- 18 slots, around level 53 to 55: Hyjal Postal Satchel and Barkskin Satchel.
The 18-slot pair
Hyjal Postal Satchel holds 18 slots and carries the flavour line Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night.... A Forever build (1.60.1.70425) dropped its item level from 60 to 58, so it is still being tuned. Barkskin Satchel is also 18 slots, uncommon, and unique, so you can only carry one. These two are the largest in the set, and 18 slots is more than you would carry at that level in Classic Era without crafting or spending gold.
Speculation. The files also hold a 40-slot bag, A Reasonably Large Bag A Reasonably Large Bag. A 40-slot bag at this stage, with a joke name and no flavour text, looks like a developer or test item rather than a levelling reward. Treat it as not real until someone loots one in game.
What we can't confirm
- Which quest gives which bag. That is Wowhead's report; the files don't carry a Forever quest-to-bag link we can read (the item source data we hold is Classic Era drop data, used only as a baseline).
- Forever's base backpack size. Wowhead's intro says four 6-slot bags plus a 20-slot base backpack make 42 slots; that sum doesn't quite add up (20 + 24 = 44), and the backpack's size is a client setting rather than an item, so we can't check it in the files. In Classic Era the default backpack holds 16 slots.
You can look any of these up on our items page.
