Seems ppl here are too busy flaming and epeening to notice this post about new items 
Blue source about the satchels here :
MMO-Champion BlueTracker - Satchel of Helpful Goods
"We've got some new information at hand about how these enigmatic satchels work. It seems they don't actually cover every slot but weapons and trinkets, there's a few other slots that aren't covered too -- including chest and pants for instance.
As you've discovered already, these satchels are rewards from doing a random dungeon through the LFG tool at lower levels. There's two groups of items that can be inside them. One includes bracers, rings, necklaces and cloaks. The other has belts, boots, gloves and shoulder items. What you'll find in the satchel is one item from each group, and this is also further influenced by a ten level range. So for example, what is in a satchel received for completing a dungeon between levels 20 and 30 might be a nice necklace and some gloves, but from a dungeon between 50 and 60 you might get a ring and some new boots.
This is done to keep the impact on quest rewards to a minimum, so that at any given time you're only ignoring one or two slots of gear, rather than your entire set. It's also done to mitigate the randomness of the items to some extent; so if you run for example some Scarlet Monastery level dungeons a few times, you'll ultimately end up with that "of the Bandit" or "of the Soldier" piece that you wanted rather than "of the Monkey" or "of Stamina."

Uhhmmmm idk if you are talking about to que for rfc in lfg. Or if you just are asssuming that because on a private server you could only get in at thirteen or later that this must be the case on retail aswell. But my level ten shammy was in there on Friday. :3

Well if 10s can get some blues I would be extremely happy. Plus "of the Bandit" and "of the Invoker" are awesome stats. I just hope shoulders aren't the 10-20 slot, since we have BoA.
I'm hoping for necklace (best addition for all imo) or cloak and belt or gloves. People with 19s I am sure would rather not have rings, belts, boots, cloaks, and of course shoulders, since those have a good variety atm.

i'm looking forward to all of this tbh.
but i'm assuming the stats will be on-par with the BoA stats at that level (or at least the same stats, ie a necklace with str/stam/crit...etc)
i think it'll also be a good way to pass the time, and gear up
destroy dungeons, get gear xD

ik caster's could def use a new neck. leather could use new bracers too...
What crili said. Pity there arent going to be any chest items, we could use a non BoA mail chest thats actually viable. I would love to see some new caster gear pop up, with the changes to mana coming up soon, it would be cool to have more SP knocking about to get some decent spell dps going.
Im most excited about gloves neck and bracers for my drood, howevre a new cloth belt would be nice.

well on my drood i do about twice the DPS as a char with little or no spell power. Healing PUGs is the lamest thing ever, healing a group that requires one rejuv every leap year and has no DPS of its own to speak of gets boring, especially when the group is going WC where every freaking mob has nature resistance so i couldnt dps if i wanted to!!
what i know about dungeons and the entry level required...
RFC = level 8
WC = 12
SFK = 12 (not to sure on this one, it might be 15 but not higher)
Deadmines = 10 (not too sure i think its 8 as well, but not sure i know i entered at 10)

Instances by level - WoWWiki - Your guide to the World of Warcraft
Pretty sure this is accurate, as I have tested it out with RFC, VC, WC, SM, ZF, Scholo, Strat since 3.2 has released.
Now, the LFG system uses a different set of lvl requirements - yet to test those out since I actually don't use LFG for lower level instances (dual boxing instances ftw). I don't know if a level 10 can use the LFG tool for anything... possibly RFC.
Need to jump on my twink to confirm, but only instances that you can actually use the LFG system for..?
10: RFC only?
19: WC, VC, SFK, BFD?
Granted, a work around would be to party with a person that is the appropriate lvl to use LFG, make them lead... time to make some new friends in the 29 bracket to help with this?
As an added bonus, this new system will allow horde easier access to Stocks (meh) and alliance to RFC (ftw).
Other questions: Would these items be BoP? How will doing only a partial pug affect the drop rate in the sacks? Would the items included in the sacks be the same lvl as your toon? Are the sacks BoP?

I think it very unlikely that lvl 10s will be able to get any gear from this since if i understand it correctly you only get this loot if you joined through the LFG system. Afaik lvl 10s cannot join any queue through LFG system regardless of whether game mechanics lets them in the instance.
