Bags the driving forceFollow

Just a funny thing that I noticed. Bags are the driving force behind this game. Thats not a bad thing, the game is still much fun and holding my attention for long periods of time. Me and my girlfriend were driving up to Boulder today an chating about WoW when we got onto the topics about inventory and bags in this game. As the conversation progressed we each realized that the sole purpose of this game is to accumulate and appropriate bags.

Sure the main force of the game is to have fun and meet people, but in order to complete anything in this game your first order of business will be to find the biggest bags available. This will allow you to complete more quests at a time and create more items though your crafting skill without always having to be in town.

We both relized this about 3 hours into the game the first time we picked it up. We had a good laugh about how the game was all about looking for purses.

We both love the game and will continue to play for a while but at the back of both of our minds are the fact that we are scouring this huge world in the hopes that we can find a better purse.

Anyway, just some random food for thought. happy hunting and fun times for all.

I rarely think about bags at all, perhaps you have a fetish?

So what happens when you have all your bag slots filled with 10-slot bags and your bank bag slots all filled with 10-slot bags?

There'll be no more goal.

-watches the goat float, struggle, then eventually dip under to drown-

Maybe he needed a air-filled bag for a floatie.

I remember when we bought a little rubber parrot for a pool toy(dont ask me), They actually had to print boldy on the bottom of it "not to be used as a flotation device"....I wonder what kind of idiots are buying this stuff now adays.

Topic!? what topic!

(Im a former U.S. Army Ranger just for a little backround)

Did you know that Claymore mines have a message on the front that reads: "This side towards enemy"?

Also, the package on a block of C4 high explosive reads:
"Not for human consumption"

And you KNOW that if they put THAT message on it, then someone, somewhere must have been dumb enough to eat it...

Well as long as you didnt eat the blasting cap, or run the wire connecting the detonator down your bowels, i think your fine, lol

Some more trivia, C4 wont explode if you set it on fire..
Just dont try to grind it out. It requires heat AND pressure to detonate.

You know, I find it interesting how US magazine and In Touch sell so well when all they do is talk about daily activities of people.

Brad Pitt had a cup of coffee, we believe he used creamer but that information is still uncomfirmed

maximum player made bag is mageweave 12 slot bag... but you can find 14 slot bags after that called journeyman bags.

So yes all the way up to lvl 50ish you will be looking for a new bag :) ANd yes more bag space is essential for some classes (rogue in particular) and some professions (engineers) as the amount of poisons/reagents is too many.

Hmmmm I thought this was the last playermade bag available

Mooncloth Bag

I'm unsure of 10-slot bags, but its possible to receive 6-slot bags from very early game fighting the minion/humanoid type monsters on one of your first quests, for all races. And later on, its possible to receive 8-slot bags too from monsters. My very first 2 8-slot bags, red leather bags, dropped from some Gnolls.


As for the topic, bags are cheaper than everyone makes them out to be. Give the game a full month and they won't be extremely expensive. Most players sell them at 50% more than the cost to sell it back to an NPC or half price of what it would cost to buy from an NPC. Much different later on with the higher slot bags, I'm sure as you're unable to buy them normally.

ok maybe mooncloth 'would' be the last player made bag :).

But from people who had highest Clotheir in beta they could only make mageweave bags, although i hear runecloth recipes have opened up (14 slot bags)... leaving 16 slot the next step. So maybe mooncloth would be next bag. Don't know if its in game tho.
