What are the most standard bags?

    I badly need new bags but I am at complete loss as where to get them. I am also wondering what the most standard size and weight reduction are. I already saw the bags in SC but I would like to know about the ones in-game.

    Thanks

    I usually get the following two bags for new characters:

    http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=103902 - 50% weight reduction for completing http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=5977 , which can be done at level 1

    http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=53422 - 75% weight reduction for completing http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=3788 , which can be done around level 20-22 (at the most) with a merc

    After that I give the character any spare droppable weight reduction bags that I have lying around and fill the rest of the slots with the 10 slot bags from PoK (the tinkering vendor sells them).

    If I plan to level the character, then I get a bunch of 100% weight reduction bags from the housing area, but those cost a few thousand plat, which you may not have if you are starting out or coming back after a long break.

    I expect that -fill the rest of the slots with the 10 slot bags from PoK (the tinkering vendor sells them).
    - refers to the Deluxe Toolbox they cost a little more than 1 pp each so provide cheap storage. If you want some thing at similar cost to store special items you don't want to lose track or throw out, visit Trader Tekrama in the bazaar and buy a few Trader Bag to put in your bank (very heavy.

    If you don’t want to spend any money, I would recommend looking into getting one of these: Featherweight Satchel of the Courier. There are two prerequisite quests that you have to complete which are fairly lengthy but incredibly easy.

    I would like at least a couple 100% weight reduction bags, I ran around the housing area for quite a while and could not find any bags as you mentioned

    Sorry, I didn't realize that you were in a position to afford them, so I didn't provide any details. Here is an edited EQClerics list of the steps that you need to take to get a 14 slot 100% WR bag (http://www.eqclerics.org/forums/showthread.php?t=24044). My comments are in brackets:

    1. Obtain an unexpanded bag and an Abu-Kar's Arcane Solution from guild bank [or, if not in a guild, buy from the Bazaar]
    2. Go to Sunrise Hills (housing zone off of the guild lobby)
    3. In the main building locate Garik Nogflop @ -2792, 2043 (The Master Collector)
    4. Purchase Garik's Secrets of Bag Expansion book [30 plat]
    5. Open and scribe the book
    6. Purchase Abu-Kar's Arcane Solution [2600 plat] either from Garik or from one of the traders in POK (see below)
    7. Combine Unexpanded Tailored Legendary Bag and Abu-Kar's Arcane Solution in one of these containers: Deluxe Sewing Kit, Large Sewing Kit, Loom, Tanaan Loom [there is one next to Garik] to craft the final bag

    The following traders in Plane of Knowledge also sell the solution:
    Higwyn Matrick @ 120, 1480, -126, Western trader building
    Tratlan Matrick @ 118, 1465, -126, Western trader building

    Check out EQTraders HoT Bags link (http://www.eqtraders.com/articles/article_page.php?article=g415&menustr=080110000000url) for more details

    Just to add to the Legendary containers: there are several types, bag, satchel, haversack, sack, backpack, rucksack, toolbelt. These are all 14 slot, 100% WR, so it doesn't matter which ones you get. They are also heirloom, so can be passed around between characters on a server.

    You need to buy both the unexpanded container from a tradeskiller, and the arcane solution per container you need. You should only need to buy the book once. In the Bazaar on AB the unexpanded bags are 2800 - 4000pp.

    You should also check /claim, as (I think) HoT purchase gave you two options for free bags, one per character.

    Thanks everyone for your help

    I haven't played seriously since Velious and money would be an issue except I'm playing on test and money is no object on test. Unfortunately getting anything from other players is very problematic on test.

    In addition to Quatr notes, if you want the 16 or 18 slot versions of unexpanded, that requires a trip to Shards Landing to get the newest book to scribe. However a trip to the Bazaar should allow you to find a few of the Extraplanar bags (32 slot hold only tradeskill items). As a note, the more information that is provided can help folk provide good answers, most folk asking about bags are new/starters and therefore rather plat poor, if some one says they have 100K avail for the project and have all current expansions, then more options can be presented. The Satchel of the Courier is the result of completing several quests and begins in Housing.
