Commentary
Previously, there were only a few ways to get bags with more than 63 slots — the Claws of Veeshan bag for attending SOE Live 2014, the Rallic Pack from doing the Tuesday Daily Tradeskill Mission in Tranquil Seas, and Naylie’s Nebulous Newsbag from completing the Guide quest “Nebulous Newsies“, or if you purchased the Terrors of Thalumbra Collector’s Edition for $89.99. With today’s Marketplace update, it looks like anyone can now buy 66-slot bags for $10. While it’s possible to acquire two of these convenience items through gameplay, if you want more, there’s only one choice.
With collectors Edition of ToT you got the 88Slot “Bag of Dirty Tricks”
Eek I forgot! I guess I don’t think about it because I’m not in this picture…
Am I being overly paranoid by thinking they are offering great deals (LON stuff, ToT expansion, 66 slot bags) to get us to spend as much of our DBC as possible? I could see them trying to liquidate prior to big changes coming and it has me a bit worried.
That explains why we cannot craft any higher tier bags or boxes! Otherwise who’s going to pay for a few more slots bags with DBC or real cash?
Oh great! Yesterday I bought an appearance bag on Thurgadin, thinking it was one of the new ones. Today I find out that they forgot the Thurgadin marketplace, it was still a 44 slot bag and today there’s a 66 slot bag on the marketplace instead in exactly the same place. Well at least yesterday’s item was cheaper.
In other words: the old, cheaper 44 slot bags like Bard’s Backpack are now unavailable on the marketplace and replaced by more expensive but bigger versions.
