I am new to tailoring. I'm at 30. Guides I've read have some information that's not relevant, as it's not in game yet, I think. So... 1) What is the lowest-level bag I can make, and what are the details? 2) Are there online crafting guides that are specific to the game as it is on Mangler? Thanks, in advance.
eqtraders.com has a bunch of good crafting guides. You should be able to find what you are looking for there.
It is best to buy a anniversary packs. Many items can be held. These bags have a weight reduction.It will alleviate your slowdown. https://www.everquest.com/packs You need to store a lot of material, and the capacity of the bank is limited. If you are serious, you need a lot of toons.

Thank you, Meridian. That's mostly where I've been reading so far. I thought I found what I wanted there but when I didn't find it in game as described at EQTraders I asked in chat. I was told what I was looking for wasn't in the game yet. That's the motivation for my question 2), above. I've not given up on EQTraders. There's still lots of good information there.
Excellent. Thanks for this. I will have a go right now. I'm now making bags. Thanks again for the assistance.
This is a TLP server and we are in classic at the moment. A lot of things are not in the game like on the live servers. There will be differences. Not sure if EQtraders have their own TLP section...
Woven mandrake is still a viable low level skill-up option between raw silk and cured silk if you find it easier to farm plat than specific materials. I honestly don't know why Reinforced Medicine Bags are so much less expensive than Hand Made Backpacks - they weigh less, carry larger-sized items, and have the same number of slots, and the same weight reduction. I guess you pay a premium to not see your class cannot do tradeskills in that container every time you open it? I don't know that Thick Grizzly Skins are actually more readily available than HQ Bear Skins. They seem to drop at about the same rate for me.
I believe this site has some pretty good guides tailored for TLPs: https://almarsguides.com/eq/navigation/classic/
