Bag
From Guild Wars 2 Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search
This article is about inventory bags. For loot bags, see Bag of Loot. For other bags, see container. A bag is an item that, when equipped in a bag slot, increases the capacity of slots in a character's inventory. They come in a variety of sizes, from 4 to 32 inventory slots, and sometimes have special features.
All characters start with a 20 slot Starter Backpack equipped in the first bag slot. Characters on a free account have 3 bag slots unlocked, characters on a paid account (core game or with any expansion) have 5 bag slots unlocked. Additional bag slots can be unlocked through the Gem Store purchase on a per-character basis, for a total of 15 bag slots per character.
Types[edit]
Bags can be categorized into types with different properties, such as specific item types filling them before other empty spaces, contents remaining in position when sorted, and contents remaining hidden from other functions.

There are items that do not prefer this bag despite being marked as "consumable". |
- 1 If the bag is not sortable, items can be arranged into specific positions and content will not move when the "Compact" function is used.
- 2 If the bag is invisible:
- The items will not appear in sell lists at any vendor or the Trading Post.
- The items will not be deposited into the Material Storage when the "Deposit All Materials" function is used.
- However, items can still be deposited individually using the right-click menu.
- The items will not be salvaged when the "Salvage All" function on salvage kits is used, which is useful for excluding Unidentified Gear.
- All other bags with special names that do not belong in the above categories are basic bags in terms of functionality.
Acquisition[edit]
Bags may be found as low-level loot, purchased from vendors, crafted, or given as rewards for completing achievements, the personal story, and Living World events.

Rewards[edit]
These bags are given as rewards for completing various content. Note that each of the Olmakhan Bandoliers require a mandatory donation of the previous tier to obtain the next.
Crafting[edit]
Bags of a wide range of sizes and functionalities can be crafted by 
Tailors, 
Leatherworkers, and 
Armorsmiths. Basic bag recipes are learned automatically upon reaching the appropriate level. Specialty bag recipes must be discovered. Two unique (but basic) bags, Ogre Bag and Wrangler's Bag, are learned via recipe sheet.
Crafted bags require up to three ingredients:
- 10x common crafting material
- 1x Rune of Holding (for bags larger than 8 slots)
- 3x fine crafting material (specialty bags only)

Notes[edit]
- Note that "bag slot" is distinct from "inventory slot" — bag slots determine the number of bags your character may use, whereas inventory slots are the spaces within each bag. Inventory space can only be increased by equipping bags in the bag slots; a bag placed in an inventory slot will not increase inventory capacity.
- Bags that hold 24 or 28 slots, such as 24-Slot Courier's Pannier cannot be upgraded with another character after they have been equipped, as they become soulbound.
- A warning comes up when you craft one of these bags, asking if you want to soulbind it.
- Avoid passing these bags to a character who cannot also craft it, because if that character uses it, it will be locked at its current size, unless that character increases that crafting discipline high enough.
- 32 slot Equipment Pact bags are soulbound on use. All other 32 slot bags are account bound.
- Despite having the same description, Tengu Bags and Olmakhan Bandoliers function slightly differently, as Tengu Bags also have the properties of invisible bags.
Updates[edit]
- Before January 31, 2023 game update items placed in the invisible bags would be visible in the Mystic Forge UI, if they were suitable for the Forge recipes. It changed with that update.
- The maximum bag slot limit has been increased from 12 to 14 with the Secrets of the Obscure release (August 22, 2023 game update).
- The maximum number of bag slots was further increased from 14 to 15 with the release of Janthir Wilds (August 20, 2024 game update).
