Guide to Plenty'o'Bags for SL prepatch

[blue09]

Hello everyone! This short guide is aimed for those of you that found themselves in a dire need for empty space in their bag/bank/reagent bag/void storage, due to the recent +5 expansions worth of mats and items we can hoard. So, here a quick rundown of all the better and impactful bags we can obtain and equip at lvl 20 ( I will list mostly worthwhile general bags , at least 18+ slots, no proff specific bags, no patterns from raids, also no bags from Cataclysm zones, that expansion can go fuck itself, way too many bags in game to fit in a quick guide):

https://www.wowhead.com/item=138293/explorers-pack - 18 slot, the easiest to get, can be bought from vendor in Highmountain, Stormwind, even a vendor on the boat to Boralus from SW;

https://www.wowhead.com/item=21843/imbued-netherweave-bag - 18 slot, Max Outland Tailoring, not worth the investment of mats and time;

https://www.wowhead.com/item=21915/pattern-ebon-shadowbag - 20 slot, Max Outland Tailoring, you get the recipe from Andrion Darkspinner in Shattrah;

https://www.wowhead.com/item=21876/primal-mooncloth-bag - 20 slot, Max Outland Tailoring, recipe from Nasmara Moonsong, also in Shattrah;

https://www.wowhead.com/item=41599/frostweave-bag - 20 slot, requires 55 Northrend Tailoring,
easy to make if you also have Enchanting as second proffesion;

https://www.wowhead.com/item=127035/silkweave-satchel - 24 slot, by far the easiest to craft, you need Legion Tailoring 1, and you buy the recipe for around 135 gold from Lalla Brightweave, in Dalaran; If you also have Legion Enchanting, there is a profesion quest that will give you the shoulder enchant https://www.wowhead.com/spell=190954/boon-of-the-scavenger to gather more Silkweave Cloth;

https://www.wowhead.com/item=88397/grummlepack - 24 slot, you get from the quest https://www.wowhead.com/quest=30600/no-pack-left-behind, it's a short chain quest in Kun-Lai Summit, you start the chain at https://www.wowhead.com/npc=59597/smokey-sootassle

https://www.wowhead.com/item=130320/addies-ink-stained-satchel - 26 slot, also very quick to obtain from Legion in Highmountain, from the quest https://www.wowhead.com/quest=39859/note-eating-goats;

https://www.wowhead.com/item=160452/goats-tote - 28 slot, obtained from the rare in Tiragarde Sound https://www.wowhead.com/npc=132076/totes ( Will be easier to obtain as alliance, for horde you need to get on the boat to Boralus from SW to get to the zone ).

And then we got https://www.wowhead.com/item=154695/deep-sea-bag and https://www.wowhead.com/item=114821/hexweave-bag - both bags are 30 slots, and are the maximum that we can obtain without AH.
For the Deep Sea Bag , you need BfA Tailoring at level 50, trained by Daniel Brinewater in Boralus and Milliner Hakkit in Dazar'alor,
30 * https://www.wowhead.com/item=152577/deep-sea-satin,
15 * https://www.wowhead.com/item=152576/tidespray-linen
15 * https://www.wowhead.com/item=159959/nylon-thread ( sold by the trainers as well).

For tidespray linen and deep sea satin, you can farm the pirates in Freehold non-instanced area in Tiragarde Sound for ally, or Dark Iron dwarfs in Xibala in Zuldazar for horde. Mats can also be obtained from scrapping cloth items ( both crafted and dropped/from quests), my suggestion is the items you craft to level the tailoring to scrap them back, and save some mats.

For the Hexweave Bag, you learn it from https://www.wowhead.com/item=114864/pattern-hexweave-bag; You will need 5 * Secret of Draenor Tailoring( daily cooldown, so at minimum 5 days) for the recipe, so when you establish your garrison, I recommend you build in your garrison a Tailoring Emporium first, finish the Talador Outpost quests, so you unlock the level 2 blueprints, build the level 2 Emporium ( so you can start producing hexweave as fast as possible).

Then, assign a follower to the Emporium (easiest to obtain with this trait is Pleasure-Bot 8000, from the quest https://www.wowhead.com/quest=34751/clear as horde or https://www.wowhead.com/quest=34761/clear as ally), to obtain more cloth per work order.

It takes 5 Sumptuos Fur per work order, and you need 100 Hexweave cloth and 10 Sorcerous Earth to craft 1 bag. Sorcerous Earth can be bought from Primal traders from your garrison , 15 primal spirit per earth. Primal Spirit can be farmed from Draenor Apexis rares, or mined from the ore deposits in Draenor or from your garrison mine. You can also obtain Sorcerous Earth from the work orders of Blacksmithing, Inscription, and Leatherworking small plot buildings.

I hope all the information provied will help you, and feel free to add in comments any information I might have ommited. Thank you and happy farming!

Edit: Subjective opinion, the route I took was to to all the quests with bags first, saved all the cloth from doing all the Legion zones from the ilvl 50 gear, save all the primal from farming the Draenor rares, and I have done the Emporium as my first small building, right from the start. Most of the ppl probably saved all the mats when they were farming for the BiS gear, so you should already have most of the required mats so far. Now, I do the hexweave now as more of a passive thing, and actively farming the BfA mats for the Deep Sea Bag.

I just made a whole bunch of Deep Sea Bags. Like the advice, I just farmed the un-instanced Freehold pirates for the linen.
The drop rate for Deep Sea Satin was about 3 per every 100 linen I looted so it wasn't very common. I also followed some advice I saw somewhere saying to do the Northrend tailoring quest in order to get the "Cloth Scavenging" https://www.wowhead.com/spell=59390/cloth-scavenging profession perk. I think it was just pay 5g for it.

I can't confirm if it works or not, but it takes a few minutes and it could potentially cut down some farming which took many hours between battlegrounds.

What I did was create Tidespray Linen Bracers, and then scrap them in the scrap machine. It got me between 1-2 deep sea satin per scrap which was pretty much the majority of the satin I used in my bags. It also returns the thread and normal linen sometimes too. By making nothing other than these bracers I was able to level up to 50 BFA tailoring and create some bags. Then, after creating more bracers and more bags, I ended up learning the Rank 2 bag recipe... which I won't end up using because I am both satisfied with the amount of bags I have as well as sick of the farm haha

Thanks for the list, it was helpful
