WoW Forever bag changes: new sizes and cloth costs
Red Mageweave Bags now have 14 slots, Silk Packs 12 and the affected Woolen Bags 10. Compare November 11 cloth costs before buying or crafting.
Five crafted bags have more room
Blizzard’s November 11 hotfixes correct five Tailoring bags that were smaller than intended. Their new capacities are 10, 12 or 14 slots, depending on the recipe. Each also needs one more bolt of its cloth.
Check the finished bag’s current tooltip before spending your leveling money. The bag you remember from an older recipe list may now be a better upgrade, but its material bill has changed too.

These are bolt changes, not the entire recipe
The table records the cloth-bolt changes in Blizzard’s notes. It is not a complete shopping list for thread, dye or any other ingredients. Open the recipe before buying materials or asking a tailor to craft it.
For the recipes moving from four bolts to five, the bolt requirement is 25% higher. Black Silk Pack’s move from five to six is a 20% increase. Those figures describe the cloth component only, not the full crafting cost or the eventual Auction House price.
Which upgrade is worth buying while leveling?
Compare the price with the extra slots you actually gain. Replacing an 8-slot bag with a 10-slot bag adds two spaces. Replacing it with a 14-slot bag adds six. Divide each purchase price by that gain to make an uneven pair of listings easier to compare.
For example, a hypothetical 60-silver bag that adds six spaces costs 10 silver per extra space. A 30-silver bag that adds two costs 15 silver per extra space. These are example prices, not a market quote.
Also consider the money you need for training and travel. A larger bag can save trips to sell items, but buying four upgrades at once may leave you short for the next thing your character needs.
Before a tailor makes a batch
Price a complete recipe using the materials you can obtain now. Cloth already in your bank still has value if you could sell it instead. Compare the resulting cost with finished bags before crafting a batch for sale.
A capacity correction is not a guarantee of profit. Demand, competing listings and the cost of each ingredient determine whether a particular craft is worth making.
