Question about BagsFollow

As far as my research goes still the best NPC merchant buyable bag is the Bag of the Tinkers (5250p) https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=2366

Biggest Crafted bag is the Tailored Legendary Bag 14 slot (Series of different bags please search Allakhazam under Legendary to find all the different kinds of bags) https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=92245 which you need to travel into the neighborhood’s round building to purchase, with plat from Garik Nogflop, the needed elements to craft. Once booked purchased and scribed “Garik’s Secrets of Bag Expansion” the rest of the items can be purchased in bazaar. The basic bag to increase to the size is the Unexpanded Tailored Legendary Bag (12 slots) https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=92353 also there are unexpanded style packs too. Sometime you can find a Nice crafter that sells these in Bazaar. On Zek average price varies from 7-10k. But please link to find out items needed to craft.

The Journeyman’s Pocketed Rucksack https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=97399 32 slots was a reward for the early purchase of, I believe, HoT expansion. Now SoE runs them on Special in the “Marketplace” for 2500 sc. Price goes down if bought in packages. Note: only on sale for a very short periods of time. The Scuffed Journeyman’s Pocketed Rucksack https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=97711 is biggest that is dropped 32 slot. Also 28 size droppable and can be purchase too from “Marketplace” on those rare occasions.

See this thread: https://everquest.allakhazam.com/forum.html?forum=1&mid=1274313531160609034&page=1 And near the last post has the >10 slot bags listed, although not all, as I haven't updated it for a while.

Many thanks. I am a return player (silver member) at Tunare and I checked the price for an unexpanded 12 slots bag is around 1k pp. I just wonder whether my understanding is correct that: (1) I have to go to NPC Garik and buy “Garik’s Secrets of Bag Expansion” from him. (2) somehow I need to "scribe" the content of “Garik’s Secrets of Bag Expansion” to my char (I guess that is a right click? Any tradeskill required?) (3) Then I need to go bazaar and buy an unexpanded bag (4) Then I could "expand" the unexpanded bag (becoming attuned?) for using it.

I know I should try the above out myself but 1k pp is too expensive as an experiment to a return player like me at the moment. Any further advice is appreciated. Thanks!

The larger bags will be on sale in the market place starting on April 1st (or there abouts. I think that's the date I read.)

GM don't attack any more. Most guards still do however. Last I checked, you could be attacked, but as long as the Banker wasn't under attack (Not sure if AEs affect the combat status of bankers or not) you could bank. With the change of Bankers not attacking, they should be ok all the time, unless, and I'm not 100% sure on this, they hit with an AE. Also, I'm not sure if even when I tried this, if you could initiate a banking transaction while being attacked, but if attacked after starting one, it wouldn't close.

I'm thinking, since you can't start a banking transaction now, with the spell book open, but you can start one and open the spell book after starting it, that being under attack prior to starting a transaction will prevent you from doing so. Again, not 100% sure.

I am 100% sure about GMs not attacking though. I spent alot of time in Neriak testing it out. Pretty much nothing but Guards, Rats, and a few other things were attackable there, and none that you couldn't attack would attack you. Not like the old days, where if you accidentally hailed a GM not of your class twice, that didn't particularly like you, would kill ya.

EDIT: Yther's been KoS to Kelethin Rangers for years, and they never attack, other than the butterfly NPC if I sit or med; None of the merchants nor GMs. Now, I just leave the building before I mem spells or Camo first.

I finished this with my 65 SK tonight. I have pretty good faction in many cities, but there were still KOS factions in Rivervale, Erudin, Ak'Anon, Felwithe, Halas, and Kelethin. The only places I got aggro was Halas (the McMarrin's definitely don't like me) and in Ak'Anon where pretty much nothing likes me. In both cases, the GM's didn't aggro - only mobs that were grey-con.

As a humorous aside, I don't think I had been in Ak'Anon before and the message I got when they attacked was "Click. Tick. City Violation. Code 5150. This unit is authorized to execute punishment. Please stand still. Thank you."

My route was as follows, in case this helps anyone else to streamline this group of deliveries:

GL Magus to S. Ro > Inothule > Feerott > Freeport [deliver 2, pickup 2] > Nektulos > Rivervale > Highpass [deliver 1, pickup 2] > West Karana > Surefall > Halas > (everfrost PoK book) > Erudin > Qeynos [deliver 5, pickup 1] > Highpass [deliver 1] > Freeport [deliver 3, (can stop here and resume later, picking up the Freeport mail for Kelethin again)] > Butcherblock > Kaladim > Ak'Anon > Felwithe > Kelethin [deliver 5, pickup 1] > Freeport [deliver 1, finish]

I ran most of it rather than porting, PoKing. It was fun to see the old zones, despite some of the revamps. It was also sad that they were still empty of players. Everyone leveling is in the TSS zones these days, clearly as intended. It is easy to forget how long the ramp from Highpass to East Karana still is - and even harder to imagine running that without even a SoW.

FWIW the bags are on sale in the marketplace. I wont be spending $18 on a bag but im sure someone with more cash than me may want one.

Whoops, typo!

Still, even at $8 its insane pricing $18 is just wtf. I dont know about you guys but if i went to my wife and said "I spent $20 to buy a bag so my character can hold more crap" i probably wouldnt be married long.

HAHA you just listed off 3/4 of our arguments lately. I agree with you 100% if she can buy $100 bras from victorias secret why should it matter what i spend but the reality is shes still a woman.

The 32-slot bags are indeed expensive but very nice to have.

Back when Sony was having a triple your SC deal (even better when you use Walmart SC cards with their +500 SC bonus) you could end up paying under four bucks per bag. Yeah, it's crazy to spend that much on a virtual item but like I said they're darn nice. I stocked up on my main and, I tell you all, I do the master looting and I "never" run out of space.

The problem I have now is LOCATING individual items IN my bags! It's like I'm wandering around carrying my entire bank storage capacity on my person! ;)

FYI, there are faction potions on the loyaty vendor that will reset your faction to whatever it was when you started.

So, on a whim, I bought the 2-pack of the journeyman rucksack for my GM poisoncrafter and OMG! She can hold one stack of ALL her poison components in ONE bag (frees up THREE tink bags). I've got 11 gamecards left and I might get that five pack for the SK (the usual master looter) and maybe a cleric or shaman. I like how they made it an heirloom, like someone's going to hand it off to an alt before they come out with 50-slot bags or something.
