Merchant purchased
Starting out, the easiest and cheapest bags to buy are Mixing Bowl, sold by several NPC merchants, including Chef Denrun (Baking Merchant) in the Plane of Knowledge near the small bank (can use Find Window), and Deluxe Toolbox which you can buy in several places but the easiest is from Nelin Signus, Engineer Beri, or Maryalis N`Ryt in the Plane of Knowledge (can use Find Window).

For your bank and bazaar mule, Trader's Satchel works well, but is too heavy for carrying around. They are purchased from Merchant Tekrama (loc 74, -45, 2, center of The Bazaar near the entrance to the hallway that leads up to the trading area port over). in The Bazaar (can use Find Window).

Tradeskilled
Bags may be made using tradeskills.

Unexpanded and Expanding Tailored
For the "Tailored" NO TRADE bags, first the tradeskiller creates a Unexpanded Bag. This is tradeable.

The Unexpanded Tailored bags may be made in different styles by using different patterns. The only difference is in appearance. The styles are: Backpack, Bag, Belt Pouch, Haversack, Rucksack, Sack, Satchel, Tool Belt.

To expand unexpanded bags each character needs to buy and scribe a book. This needs to be done only once per character per book. Once you have done it once the recipes are permanently added to your character.

In addition you will use either either Abu-Kar's Arcane Solution or Inverse Arcane Solution. The solutions may be purchased from Garik Nogflop in Sunrise Hills. Combine the unexpanded bag in a loom or sewing kit to made the expanded version. The combine is NO FAIL. Doing this will permanently bind this container to them, making it NO TRADE.

Using the Abu-Kar's Arcane Solution will create a lightweight bag with 100% weight reduction. Using the Inverse Arcane Solution will create a very heavy bag with no weight reduction, suitable only for banking.

Dyeing
"Tailored" bags may be dyed various colors.

To do so, first purchase The Articles on Holding from Garik Nogflop in Sunrise Hills (housing zone). He is found in the first building as you enter from the Guild Lobby. Right click on The Articles on Holding to open it. Then click the Scribe button. Once you have scribed it, you have permanently added the dye recipes to your character's known recipes.

Once you have scribed The Articles on Holding, you can go to any loom (or sewing kit) to view the recipes. Click the loom to open it and enter the color to search for in the Partial Name box. Click the Search Recipes button, and in the Known Matching Recipes box all bag recipes with that color will appear.

Click on one of the recipes and in the ingredients box to the right will appear what you need to create it. Obtain those items, place them in the loom, click Combine and you will have a colored bag!

The combine is NO FAIL. The colors you can use are: Black, Blue, Green, Orange, Pink, Purple, Red, White, Yellow.

Tradeskill trophy bags
Each trophy can make temporary bags. In addition, if you turn in a temporary bag to Jolum (loc 153, -425) in The Bazaar, he will give you a token. Place the token in the proper tradeskill combiner for that skill (forge, loom, brew barrel, etc.), hit combine, and it will make a permanent no trade lore bag.

A new tradeskill trophy carry-all is available for the highest tradeskill trophies. You can either trade in the temporary bag to Jolum as with the others, or simply use the temporary bag in place of the essence in an appropriate tradeskill container.

Maxed tradeskill trophies also produce a 24 slot tradeskill component bag in addition to the 12-slot general carry-all.

Bag tokens
In the past, you could convert an empty bag into a bag token. An NPC would then convert it back to a bag upon request. This would allow you to place the token into a bag. With the ability to now place empty bags inside of bags, this is no longer an option. If you have a legacy bag token it is now a convertible item. Click the convert button to turn it into a bag. This is a one-way conversion.
