The November 11, 2026 WoW Forever Tailoring Bag changes increased capacity and bolt costs for five crafted bags, rather than making them cheaper. Blizzard also disabled Item Restoration to investigate and fix a critical bug.
Updated bag costs and sizes
Blizzard corrected bags whose capacity had been set below its intended size. These are the changed bolt requirements and resulting capacities; the bolt column is not a complete materials list.
| Bag | Bolt cost before → after | Capacity after hotfix |
| Red Mageweave Bag | 4 → 5 Bolts of Mageweave | 14 slots. |
| Green Silk Pack | 4 → 5 Bolts of Silk Cloth | 12 slots. |
| Black Silk Pack | 5 → 6 Bolts of Silk Cloth | 12 slots. |
| Green Woolen Bag | 4 → 5 Bolts of Woolen Cloth | 10 slots. |
| Red Woolen Bag | 4 → 5 Bolts of Woolen Cloth | 10 slots. |
For a Tailor selling these bags, the useful takeaway is to price the extra capacity against the higher material bill, rather than treating the change as a cheaper craft.
Bag recipes and Tailoring skill requirements
To start crafting, ask a guard for the Tailoring trainer's location and learn the profession for 10 copper; the default profession-book key is K. Tailoring occupies one of your two primary profession slots.
Red Linen Bag and the first ordinary bags
The trainer-taught Linen Bag requires Tailoring 5, holds six items and consumes three Bolts of Linen Cloth plus three Coarse Thread; those bolts represent six Linen Cloth. Its craft takes eight seconds, and its difficulty thresholds are 5/30/47/65.
Red Linen Bag requires Tailoring 50, provides eight slots and uses four Bolts of Linen Cloth, one Fine Thread and one Red Dye. Its pattern costs two silver and can also drop from enemies.
Buy the pattern from Gina MacGregor in Westfall, Valdaron in Darkshore, Mahu in Thunder Bluff or Andrew Hilbert in Silverpine Forest. Recorded enemy drops include Defias Looters in Westfall and Pyrewood Tailors or Moonrage Tailors in Silverpine Forest.
For an early Tailor prioritizing ordinary inventory space, we'd pick Red Linen Bag over spending extra linen on a specialized bag first: it offers eight general slots, while Linen Reagent Bag uses six bolts for six material-only slots.
Many players in video comments describe Red Linen Bag and other Tailoring bags as inexpensive and straightforward options for equipping their main characters and alts.
Dyed wool and silk recipes
These skill requirements apply to learning the recipes, rather than your character's level.
| Recipe | Tailoring skill | Pattern acquisition |
| Green Woolen Bag | 75 | World drops or pickpocketing. |
| Red Woolen Bag | 90 | Vendors or drops; the pattern's listed purchase price is 4 silver 44 copper. |
| Green Silk Pack | 140 | World drops. |
| Black Silk Pack | 150 | World drops. |
Red Woolen Bag's pattern is sold in Hillsbrad Foothills, Redridge Mountains, Thunder Bluff, Undercity, Darkshore, Orgrimmar, Loch Modan, the Barrens and Wetlands.
Beyond the bolts in the hotfix table, Green Woolen Bag uses one Green Dye and one Fine Thread, while Red Woolen Bag uses one Red Dye and one Fine Thread. Green Silk Pack needs three Heavy Leather, three Fine Thread and one Green Dye; Black Silk Pack needs one Black Dye and four Fine Thread.
Small Silk Pack
The bolts require 12 Silk Cloth, and crafting takes 25 seconds.
Its difficulty thresholds are 125/145/160/175, so it becomes yellow at 145, green at 160 and gray at 175. Trainers include Sellandus in Stormwind, Me'lynn in Darnassus, Magar in Orgrimmar, Tepa in Thunder Bluff and Rhiannon Davis in Undercity.

Larger ordinary Tailoring bags
| Bag | Capacity and skill | Materials and pattern |
| Runecloth Bag | 14 slots; Tailoring 215 | Five Bolts of Runecloth, two Rugged Leather, one Rune Thread, four Magenta Dye and two Cerulean Dye; pattern sold by Qia in Winterspring. |
| Mooncloth Bag | 18 slots; Tailoring 255 | Four Bolts of Runecloth, one Mooncloth, one Rune Thread, ten Viridian Dye, two Magenta Dye and four Cerulean Dye; world-drop pattern. |
| Bottomless Bag | 20 slots; Tailoring 300 | Eight Bolts of Runecloth, 12 Mooncloth, two Large Brilliant Shards, five Pristine Scales, five Pristine Hides, eight Viridian Dye and two Rune Thread; world-drop pattern. |
Reagent bags and the extra bag slot
Forever adds a dedicated reagent-bag slot alongside the four ordinary bag slots, and Tailoring and Leatherworking both supply bags for it. Reagent bags hold crafting materials; Warlocks can equip a soul-shard bag in the extra slot, while Hunters cannot equip a quiver there.
Some players in video comments wish starting-area vendors sold reagent bags because they found the fifth slot's bag options difficult to locate.
Linen Reagent Bag
Linen Reagent Bag requires Tailoring 5, holds six reagents and uses six Bolts of Linen Cloth plus six Coarse Thread. Tailoring Supplies vendors sell its pattern for approximately one silver 50 copper.
Woolen Reagent Bag
Woolen Reagent Bag requires Tailoring 70 and supplies eight reagent slots. Its recipe needs three Bolts of Woolen Cloth, one Fine Thread and one Cerulean Dye, with a vendor-pattern price of two silver 50 copper.
Silk Reagent Bag
Silk Reagent Bag requires Tailoring 125, holds ten reagents and consumes three Bolts of Silk Cloth, two Heavy Leather, three Fine Thread and three Cerulean Dye.
For a Tailor pursuing the pattern, we'd choose Gelkis: buying it requires Honored and 15 Carved Centaur Totems, versus Exalted and 60 Totems with Magram, and Gelkis also offers Tailoring recipes as quest choices.
- Reach Friendly with Gelkis by killing Magram centaurs or completing Buying Friendship; that quest also opens a repeatable Totem turn-in.
- Complete the reputation quests unlocked at Friendly and Honored; these quests target characters around levels 40–43.
- Buy Pattern: Silk Reagent Bag from Molkar in southwest Desolace at 35.6, 92.0 once you meet the purchase requirements.
Carved Centaur Totems drop from Desolace centaurs and can be traded, making the Auction House another way to obtain them. Gaining reputation with one centaur clan reduces your standing with the other.
Mageweave and Runecloth reagent bags
| Reagent bag | Capacity and skill | Crafting materials |
| Mageweave Reagent Bag | 12 slots; Tailoring 190 | Four Bolts of Mageweave, two Heavy Silken Thread, one Magenta Dye and one Cerulean Dye. |
| Runecloth Reagent Bag | 14 slots; Tailoring 215 | Five Bolts of Runecloth, two Rugged Leather, one Rune Thread and one Viridian Dye. |
Mivin Shadowweave sells these patterns at Three Corners in Redridge Mountains, 10.0, 73.0. In the beta, each pattern cost 60 Merchant's Favor, with the Mageweave recipe used for the 190–205 skill range and the Runecloth recipe for 215–230.
Leatherworking alternative
Light Leather Reagent Bag provides six reagent slots at Leatherworking 30, using eight Light Leather, one Cured Light Hide and three Coarse Thread. Alliance Leatherworkers can buy its pattern from Saenorion in Darnassus for about one silver 50 copper, while Horde Leatherworkers obtain it from Beasts of Thunder Ridge in Durotar.
Early bags without crafting
Quest rewards
The beta's starting-zone routes offered a six-slot quest bag for every race.
| Race | Bag and quest | Starting point and minimum level |
| Human | Book Bag from Book Return, concluding the Nibbled-On Book chain with an elite quest | Level 1; the opening book drops from Kobolds; Marshal Dughan in Elwynn Forest, 42.2, 65.8. |
| Dwarf / Gnome | Canvas Latchbag from Grund And Gozwin | Level 4; Grund Drokda in Dun Morogh, 28.6, 67.4; approach path at 25.5, 70. |
| Night Elf | Soft Saber Sack from Soft Saber Pelts | Level 4; Aldia in Teldrassil, 55.4, 57.2. |
| Skyborne | Simple Leather Satchel from The Problem With Prideclaws | Level 4; Indari Sunseam on Zephras Isle, 44.6, 44.4. |
| Undead | Collecting Basket from Sticks And Bones | Level 4; Deathguard Bartholomew in Tirisfal Glades, 58.4, 51.4. |
| Orc / Troll | Handmade Leather Bag from Carry Your Weight | Level 4; Furl Scornbrow in Durotar, 49.8, 40.4. |
| Tauren | Scorched Leather Pouch from Grace Of An'she And Mu'sha | Level 1; Seer Graytongue in Mulgore, 42.6, 92. |
- Old Blanchy's Feed Pouch: Eight slots from Poor Old Blanchy, a level-14 quest available at level 9; bring eight Handfuls of Oats to Verna Furlbrow in Westfall at 60, 19.4, north of Sentinel Hill.
- Wizbang's Gunnysack: Eight slots from Buzzbox 525, at the end of the Auberdine Buzzbox chain in Darkshore; you can begin the chain at level 7.
- Scuffed Shipping Crate: Eight slots from Parts and Pieces, a level-14 quest open to both factions at level 9; Wrenix the Wretched in Ratchet, 63, 36.4, asks for five Handfuls of Complicated Parts from the upper pirate camp south of town.
- Deviate Hides reward: A ten-slot bag is one reward choice for this Wailing Caverns quest, available from level 13.
- Vyrin's Revenge reward: This Alliance quest in Loch Modan offers a ten-slot bag choice from level 15.
- Old Toolbox: The Forever Cozy Sleeping Bag chain awards a 12-slot bag during its Stonetalon portion, available from level 14; the chain also leads to a sleeping benefit granting 3% additional XP for two hours.
For players preserving early gold, we'd take bag quests already along the leveling route before buying vendor upgrades: the quests above supply inventory space without a bag purchase.
Many players in video comments favor quest rewards, mob drops and rare spawns as ways to avoid spending gold on early bags. Some others find even early bag purchases difficult to afford.
Drops and purchases
Horde Leatherworkers can obtain the six-slot Kodo Hide Bag recipe at Leatherworking 40 through the Kodo Hide Bag quest in Thunder Bluff.
Starting-zone enemies can drop six-slot pouches in red, blue, brown, black or green, with an estimated drop chance of 0.5–1% per enemy. Grinding specifically for these drops is a poor use of time compared with collecting them while completing other tasks.
| Vendor bag | Capacity | Price and vendor type |
| Small Brown Pouch | Six slots | Five silver; general-goods and supplies vendors. |
| Brown Leather Satchel | Eight slots | 25 silver; general-goods and supplies vendors. |
| Heavy Brown Bag | Ten slots | Two gold; general-goods and bag vendors. |
| Huge Brown Sack | 12 slots | Ten gold; bag vendors. |
Early market estimates put six-slot bags around three silver, eight-slot Red Linen Bags around four to five silver, and ten-slot Small Silk Packs around 25–30 silver. Treat these as estimates rather than a fixed purchase price.
Some players in video comments prefer paying slightly more for ten-slot bags instead of buying eight-slot bags first.
Item Restoration disabled
Blizzard's November 11 support update tied the Item Restoration suspension to a critical bug under investigation. Avoid making inventory decisions that depend on an immediate restoration request.
