Every bag you can get before level 30 in WoW Forever
Free quest bags first, then vendor bags by slots per gold, crafted bags and what drops.
Quest rewards are the cheapest bags: 20 general bags come free from quests you can do before level 30. The biggest four fill your bag slots with 44 slots for Alliance and 46 for Horde, for no gold, though the two biggest sit behind one quest chain (40 and 38 slots without it). For gold, the Small Brown Pouch gives the most: 120 slots per gold (6 slots for 5s). Auction house prices are not known to this site, so none are counted.

Ranked by slots per gold
Only bags a vendor sells have a gold price, so only they are ranked. Vendors ask no level for them. Prices are the game files’ buy price; Wowhead’s vendor records show small differences from one vendor to the next.
| Bag | Slots | Four of them | Price | Slots per gold |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | 24 for 20s | 5s | 120 | |
| 8 | 32 for 1g | 25s | 32 | |
| 10 | 40 for 8g | 2g | 5 | |
| 12 | 48 for 40g | 10g | 1.2 |
Free beats every line of this table. 20 quest bags cost no gold at all: see the list.
Slots per gold always favours the smallest bag, and you only have four bag slots. Buy the Small Brown Pouch to cover a gap, and put bigger bags in those slots as you find them.
Where to buy all of them
Each of these vendors sells every bag in the table. Other vendors sell some of them, and every bag’s page lists its vendors.
Free: quest-reward bags
The level is the quest’s required level. Some of these quests follow earlier ones in their zone, so you may need to work up to them. “Choice” means the bag is one of the rewards you pick from.
The biggest free bags are behind a quest chain. Wowhead’s record for “Stepping Stones” lists both bags as rewards:
Old Toolbox
Sturdy Lunchbox It comes after “... and that note you found”, a quest you start by finding a note (Westfall for Alliance and The Barrens for Horde). The quest data does not give the exact spot.

Crafted bags
Bags whose pattern and materials you can get before level 30. Cloth comes from creatures or the auction house, so these have no gold price and are not ranked. The game files do not say what level each rank of a profession asks for: check with your trainer.

Bags that drop
Drops have no gold price and no guarantee, so they are not ranked. Odds and levels are what Wowhead’s data records for creatures under level 30, and they can change as players report more kills.

Questions
What is the cheapest bag in WoW Forever?
For gold, the Small Brown Pouch: 6 slots for 5s, and four of them cost 20s. Quest-reward bags cost nothing, so they are cheaper still.
Are there free bags in WoW Forever?
Yes. 20 general bags are quest rewards you can get before level 30, from 6 to 12 slots. Which ones you can reach depends on your faction and the zones you level in.
What is the biggest bag you can buy before level 30?
The Huge Brown Sack at 12 slots for 10g. Vendors ask no level for it.
Can I buy bigger bags on the auction house?
Other players can list any bag that does not bind, at whatever price they choose. This site does not know auction house prices, so this page only counts what quests, vendors, recipes and creatures give you.

Where this comes from
Slots, prices, recipes, materials and patterns’ skill requirements come from the WoW Forever game files. Which quests give a bag, their required levels and sides, which vendors sell it and what creatures drop it come from Wowhead’s Forever data, which can lag the live game. Bags ask for no level themselves, so “before level 30” here means the quest, the recipe’s pattern and materials, or the creature is under that level. Quivers and ammo pouches are left out, and so are event bags. Another 38 general bags in the game files are left out: they ask for more than that, or no way to get them is on record. Auction house prices are not known to this site.
