The Biggest Bag in WoW Classic 1.12.1: Ranking 16 and 18 Slot Bags

◆What counts as a big bag in 1.12.1

In Vanilla the starting backpack gives 16 slots and you add 4 bags to it — see the bags in WoW Classic hub. For regular bags the cap is 18 slots. Bags with 20, 24 and 28 slots exist too, but they are specialized: herb and enchanting bags and soul shard bags. Hunter quivers and ammo pouches are also larger, but they accept ammunition only.

◆18 slot bags

• Bottomless Bag — the only 18-slot bag you can buy. Tailors with 300 skill sew it from a very rare world-drop pattern. Reagents: 8 Bolts of Runecloth, 12 Mooncloth, 2 Large Brilliant Shards, 2 Core Leather and 2 Rune Thread. Binds when equipped.
• Onyxia Hide Backpack — dropped by Onyxia in Onyxia's Lair. Binds when picked up and is rolled for in the raid.
• Panther Hide Sack — a rare drop from High Priestess Arlokk in Zul'Gurub. Unique, binds when picked up.
• Supply Bag — one of the reward choices in the Superior Armaments of Battle quests from Quartermaster Miranda Breechlock at Light's Hope Chapel. Requires Friendly with the Argent Dawn and a turn-in of insignias. Unique, binds when picked up.

◆16 slot bags

• Mooncloth Bag — Tailoring 300, the pattern is a world drop. It takes 4 Bolts of Runecloth, 1 Mooncloth and 1 Rune Thread. Does not bind at all.
• Traveler's Backpack — a world drop from level 49 to 61 mobs and chests. Does not bind either.
• Wayfarer's Knapsack — dropped by the goblin Ribbly Screwspigot in the tavern of Blackrock Depths. Unique, binds when picked up.
• Demon Hide Sack — one of the rewards of the final quest You Are Rakh'likh, Demon in the Fallen Hero of the Horde chain (Blasted Lands).
• Pumpkin Bag — a seasonal drop from level 30+ mobs during Hallow's End, if the event runs on the server.

◆Comparison table

◆How to collect four big bags

1. From level 50, watch the auction house: Mooncloth Bags and Traveler's Backpacks appear regularly.
2. Run Blackrock Depths and kill Ribbly — the Wayfarer's Knapsack has a good chance to drop.
3. Finish the chain in the Blasted Lands for the Demon Hide Sack.
4. Collect insignias and reputation with the Argent Dawn — at Friendly you can already pick the Supply Bag.
5. In the Onyxia and Zul'Gurub raids, put the 18-slot bags on your wish list.

Best value: cost per slot tips

• The gap between 16 and 18 is small. Four 18-slot bags give only +8 slots over four 16-slot ones. The Bottomless Bag needs 12 Mooncloth and a rare pattern, so it costs many times more than a Mooncloth Bag.
• Unique bags do not stack. The Panther Hide Sack, Supply Bag, Wayfarer's Knapsack and Demon Hide Sack are Unique — you can carry only one of each.
• The budget choice is the 14-slot Runecloth Bag: tailors sell them in bulk while leveling the skill, so auction prices are usually low.
• Quest bags are free. The Demon Hide Sack and the Supply Bag cost time rather than gold — grab them before spending at the auction house.
• Do not forget the bank: old 14 to 16 slot bags are perfect for your bank slots.
