I didn’t know; I havn’t played in a while. I play a hunter as main and this is sweet news!
Yes, though I still carry a lot of it. I’m not exactly complaining about running out of space. I just want bigger bags because, well, there are bigger bags and I don’t have them. Pure greed, really.
You can junk your quiver/ammo bag entirely, too; the ranged speed bonus they used to grant is now inherent in Hunters.
Course, I imagine it’ll be years if ever before quivers and ammo bags are removed from vendors.
Well that’s all right, then. 
Here are some options off the top of my head that don’t invove the AH or making buddy-buddy with a Tailor, in order of level requirement from lowest (50-something) to highest (80):
1.) Grind Argent Dawn rep. There’s an 18-slot bag you can buy from the EPL vendor (starting at Revered, but it costs less at Exalted, IIRC).
2.) Kill Onyxia. She drops a bag (18 or 20 slots, I forget which, and apparently made out of herself–riddle me THAT one).
3.) Run Magister’s Terrace. A 20-slot bag has a chance to drop there–I’ve seen it twice recently while doing mount/pet runs.
4.) Run Obsidan Sanctum. Sarth drops a 22-slot bag.
Ooh, I’m already grinding Argent Dawn rep since I’m hanging out in the Plaguelands killing all the undead I can. I’m already in good with a tailor–my SO’s priest is one, and I’m sure he’d make me a bigger bag or two, especially since I have given him any amount of mageweave and runecloth these past few weeks.
- Magtheradon drops a 20 slotter
- There’s either a drop or quest reward 20 slotter from Zul Aman
20 slotters shouldn’t be that hard to come by, they’re fairly cheap to make. 22-slotters are far more annoying.
Battlegrounds: AB is much more friendly than WSG. AV can be a blast, but has a fairly steep learning curve. Eye is a modified AB and my current favorite, Strand is a blast, but it gets old faster than Eye or AB when honor grinding.
I plead ignorance as I haven’t tried WSG yet. I figured the reason it’s the first battleground you can join was because it’s good for newbies, but I suppose not.
Haris Pilton (Shattrath City) also sells a 22-slot bag, if you care to fork over 1200 gold each for them…
I think, whatever Blizzard’s intentions were, WSG is the least newbie-friendly of all the battlegrounds. You either need to sneak into or assault a single choke-point and then run while surviving being the focal point of 3-4 (at least) attackers (if you’re capturing the flag); keep up with a rapidly moving battlefront (if you’re escorting the flag-carrier); or stand back, defending your flag, and be mostly bored and then occasionally have to (a) find a stealthed attacker and (b) rapidly unload a whole lot of damage before he can get out of your flag room and into the open, where he’ll be a lot harder to catch up with.
I haven’t tried Strand of the Ancients or Wintergrasp, mind, but the ones I have tried are much easier to feel meaningfully involved in just by running at enemies and mashing keys =).
Ha, the 22-slotters at the AH are much cheaper than that and I still balk at buying them, so I don’t think I’ll be enriching Miss Pilton through bag purchases.
But but!
You get an achievement for it! How can you not? :eek:
I do love those achievements, though. A few days ago, I got “Going Down?” completely by accident–and died anyway when I hit the ground.
That’s a quest reward–you can do it on your first run, IIRC.
Lvl 13 dwarf warrior. I know I don’t need to stay in my racial lands, I just want to in this case. I’ve been through Elwynn/Westfall a number of times with humans and a nelf, I’ve been through Darkshore with two or three nelfs + a human, and with three draenei toons I’ve gotten quite familiar with Azuremyst/Bloodmyst Isles. But I really haven’t played any dwarves or gnomes past lvl 10 or 11 until now, so Loch Modan is relatively “fresh” for me, i.e. I haven’t memorized the quests and every nook and cranny of the zone. I haven’t quested through there since I took my now-level-78 human pally through there several months ago.
I guess I’ll grind to 15 elsewhere and then come back.
Yay! I just picked up the Helm of Towering Rage, a quest reward from that large woman in Sholazar Basin after using the Etymidian to stomp a metric buttload of undead. Tell me you like mah new hat!
I actually got some help with that quest. One of the lvl 80 elites you have to kill had a nasty AoE attack that took me out twice. After the second death I got a whisper from a lvl 80 gnome warrior who was running the same quest, offering to help me. Together we whacked that mob and the third one (I’d already soloed the first one).
You’ll note the absence of a guild tabard in the above screenshot. I’ve gone ahead and left the DARK ELITE guild and will be attempting to form my own guild, probably over the weekend (working late on Friday, so it’ll have to wait another day), so if anybody wants to make a baby toon or nine on the Lightbringer server and sign my guild charter and help me with inviting my alts, just drop me a PM here or send a whisper to Eilyssana. I still need to come up with a good name, of course. Basically, anything without the word “elite” in it 
Maybe … “The Order of the Rik”
Speaking of cool names, it took me a minute to catch the joke in the name of the lvl 80 guy who helped me with that quest: Alcapwn 
Sweeeeet. Can’t wait to log on. No quiver and arrows stacking to 1000 means more general loot slots. Thanks for the update.
As an aside, why would anyone use the tradeskill special bags like the Herbalism Pouch? It seems to offer no special bonus and can only carry herbs. I can’t see why you’d use the pouch when you can put herbs in a normal bag and have the option to put other items in the bag as well. Is there some unique trait to the tradeskill pouches I don’t know about?
Typically specialty bags give you a lot more slots. The largest general bag you can get is 22 slots, while most of the specialty bags cap out at 32. Plus, it’s a great way to keep things sorted, as the game will automatically put an item into the correct bag if you have one for it.
I have a Mammoth Mining Bag on both my mains. I don’t actually take it with me while mining, but instead it stays in my bank. Makes things vastly easier to keep organized.
Cool, thanks again.
I have only one thing to say.
Gnomeregan Exiles reputation is a pain. In. The ass.
That is all.
Yeah, I like having my mining bags just because it keeps all the stuff I gather in one place instead of spreading it willy-nilly all over my bags.
w00t! Explored all of Sholazar Basin, Got the [Into the Basin] feat for completing 75 quests, and got [The Snows of Northrend] for completing all of the Nesingwary quests! Got a nice blue-text cloak out of killing the protodrake mama.
Also killed my first-ever level 80 mobs all by myself while not riding on a vehicle of any kind 
Granted, I’m about 3.5 blocks away from lvl 79, but I still thought it was cool.
Oh, Mogle, on your advice I have switched to using Seal of the Martyr. I am indeed doing a lot more damage, apparently. Of course, I’m also taking a lot more damage, but I can deal with that (reminds me of the paladin’s Sacrifice attack in Diablo II). On the other hand, the talent points I had invested in Seals of the Pure are now wasted, since that talent appears to boost every Seal except Seal of the Martyr. I hate the thought of paying for a respec just to reallocate those 3 points, though.
Ooo, and I got Fishing to 450 and I’m only 3 gold coins away from [There’s Gold in That There Fountain]. I already have [A Penny For Your Thoughts] and [Silver in the City], so I guess I’m also 3 gold coins away from [The Coin Master].
Thanks all for the Battlegrounds advice I think I’ll try Arathi. I have no idea what to expect so should be fun.
On bags I had an annoying scenario last night, with bags full (just finishing off the final quest before heading back to the inn, quite a few Shreddder Operating Manual pages…) and I kill a mob who drops a ten slot bag. Great. As I have mostly six slot bags (apart from backpack and shard bag) this is very useful but unless I missed a trick I had to destroy some items to equip it, no biggy as it was only vendor trash but when you’re level 26 with only 10g all the silver counts.
Oh well, soon I’ll have my mount and then I’ll spend a few hours mining\picking herbs to get some serious cash.
