World of Warcraft players can earn their very first reagent bag ahead of the launch of Dragonflight. This special bag is a reward World of Warcraft players can earn for participating in the Tempest Unleashed world event in the Dragonflight pre-patch.
Reagent bags are a new feature coming to Dragonflight. In addition to the five original bag slots, players now have a special sixth slot that can only be filled with reagent bags, special containers specifically for carrying crafting materials, similar to the reagent bank tab.
Players can get their hands on the Storm-Battered Reagent Bag, the first of its kind, by participating in the Tempest Unleashed world event during the Dragonflight pre-patch. The bag is purchased with Primeval Essence, the special currency used during the event. Players can pick up the Storm-Battered Reagent Bag for the cheap cost of five Primeval Essence. With mobs and bosses during the elemental invasions all dropping Primeval Essence, players can quickly pick up this reward after participating in a single battle against the Primalist forces.
The Storm-Battered Reagent Bag is currently the only reagent bag in World of Warcraft, but that will change when Dragonflight launches in a couple of weeks. Players can expect to find reagent bags as rewards and drops occasionally, but the largest ones will be crafted by Tailors in Dragonflight. While players will be able to buy or craft larger reagent bags in the future, the Storm-Battered Reagent Bag is an excellent starting point until then.
World of Warcraft players can get tons of other rewards from the Tempest Unleashed event as well. In addition to a special Feat of Strength for World of Warcraft achievement hunters, players can unlock the Bag of Furious Winds toy and sets of catch-up gear in exchange for Primeval Essence, can earn the Primal Stormling battle pet through completing a quest, and can earn a special Heirloom trinket by defeating one of each type of elemental invasion. Though none of the rewards are particularly hard to earn, the Storm-Battered Reagent Bag is by far the easiest.
Players are delighted they have a new inventory slot to play around with, even if it is only for crafting materials. Inventory management in an MMO is one of the most basic and ever-present battles all players must face, so larger bags and extra room for items is always in high demand. Between the new reagent bag slot and improvements to the UI in Dragonflight, managing a character’s inventory in World of Warcraft is easier now than ever before.
World of Warcraft is available on PC. Dragonflight launches on November 28.
