- Best value before 15: the 12-slot Old Toolbox or Sturdy Lunchbox at required level 14.
- Bags do not equip themselves: since launch you drag each new bag into an empty bag slot by hand, per Blizzard's launch development notes.
Skip the early grindForever Leveling 1–30For players who want to start at 30 with a proper bag setup instead of juggling 6-slot pouches. A vetted human player levels your character for you.from 22 EURSee options Which quest gives a 12-slot bag in WoW: Forever?
The quest "Stepping Stones" gives the 12-slot Old Toolbox at required level 14. It is part of the Cozy Sleeping Bag chain from Season of Discovery, which returns in Forever. The same chain also rewards the Cozy Sleeping Bag itself and 5 Student Fodder.
Alliance players start the chain at the Burned-Out Remains in Westfall, Alexston Farmstead (/way 37 50). Horde players start at the Burned-Out Remains in the Barrens, south of Camp Taurajo (/way 46 74). The Sturdy Lunchbox is another 12-slot quest reward at required level 14, and Horde characters can add the Spidersilk Pouch from "Stronger than Steel" at 23.
Is the Darkmoon Storage Box worth it early?
The Darkmoon Storage Box is the biggest early bag in Forever: 14 slots with a required level of only 6. It costs 50 Darkmoon Faire tickets. The first Forever Faire is in Elwynn Forest, active from Monday, November 9, for one week per the in-game calendar.
Which turn-ins give tickets in Forever and how many is not published yet, so the real price in time and materials is unknown. If you are Alliance and near Elwynn this week, check the Faire before it moves. Horde players have to travel for it, and the next location is not announced.
What are the best crafted bags while leveling?
The Red Linen Bag and the Woolen bags give 8 slots and come out of cloth every leveling character loots anyway. Silk packs give 10 slots, Mageweave Bags 12 and the Runecloth Bag 14. The Linen Bag and Kodo Hide Bag stay at 6 slots and are only worth it on the first day.
A tailor on your account can turn the cloth from early quests into 8-slot bags quickly. In practice, crafted bags are the reliable middle step between the free quest bag and the 12-slot Old Toolbox.
Which vendor bags can you buy?
General goods vendors sell four bag sizes: the Small Brown Pouch (6), the Brown Leather Satchel (8), the Heavy Brown Bag (10) and the Huge Brown Sack (12). They cost gold you would rather spend on spell ranks early on, so most players buy only one size to cover an empty slot. Since November 5, trade supply vendors on Zephras Isle also sell apprentice tradeskill bags.
Do you still need bag space with the bigger bank?
Yes. On the beta the default bank had 48 slots and 8 bank bag slots, so storage is easier than in Classic. Your backpack still starts at the original size, though, and quest items, profession materials and vendor loot fill it fast between towns. The bank helps you store things, and bags decide how long you can stay out questing.
If you would rather skip the early leveling and bag juggling, PewPewShop offers Forever leveling where a vetted human player levels your character for you, starting from 22 EUR for levels 1 to 30.
Frequently asked questions
What is the first bag you get in WoW: Forever?
Every starting zone in WoW: Forever has a quest that rewards a 6-slot, bind-on-pickup bag, such as the Canvas Latchbag from "Grund and Gozwin" in Dun Morogh or the Handmade Leather Bag from "Carry Your Weight" for the Horde. Since launch, bags no longer equip automatically, so drag the new bag into an empty bag slot yourself.
How do you get the Old Toolbox in WoW: Forever?
The 12-slot Old Toolbox is the reward for "Stepping Stones", part of the Cozy Sleeping Bag quest chain, with a required level of 14. Alliance players start at Alexston Farmstead in Westfall, while Horde players start at the Burned-Out Remains south of Camp Taurajo in the Barrens. The chain also gives the Cozy Sleeping Bag itself.
What is the biggest bag you can use at a low level in WoW: Forever?
The Darkmoon Storage Box has 14 slots and requires only level 6, which makes it the largest low-level bag in Forever. You buy it with 50 Darkmoon Faire tickets. The first Forever Faire set up in Elwynn Forest for one week from November 9. How tickets are earned in Forever has not been published yet.
Do bags auto-equip in WoW: Forever?
No. Bags equipped themselves on the beta, but Blizzard's launch development notes changed that, so bags no longer move into empty bag slots on their own. When a quest or vendor gives you a bag, open your inventory and drag it into one of the bag slots next to your backpack.
Which profession makes bags in WoW: Forever?
Tailoring makes most early bags in WoW: Forever: the Linen Bag, Red Linen Bag, Woolen bags, silk packs, Mageweave Bags and the Runecloth Bag, ranging from 6 to 14 slots. The 6-slot Kodo Hide Bag is a crafted leather option. Tailoring is the most reliable way to keep a leveling character's bag slots upgraded.
