I couldn’t find anything about it on the web, so I figured I’d post about it here.
Screenshots: (remove the space between “http” and “s”)
(I can’t post links so it would be cool if someone reposted these.)

It dropped from Tka’ktath (Note: I had already completed the quests that award Siesbarg.)
I don’t know if I accidentally stumbled upon a new “secret” or if it’s a super rare drop, but maybe you guys can figure it out.
The stats are a really nice addition and seeing as there’s currently so many (too many!) reagents, extra bag space is always welcome.
I imagine we’re gonna want one for every alt.
Here you go:

Gotcha!
Given the amount of views, I’m sure I’ve gotten some of you excited and then disappointed. Hint to Blizzard: give us secret legendary bags!
Some hints visible in the screenshots were:
- The date on the calendar: it says the 18th. These were taken back in February. Yes I waited for April Fools.
- The empty bag slots number visible on the backpack is (71) on both screenshots even though I supposedly equipped a bigger bag.
- I have Circle of Healing on my bars that has been removed from the game this patch.
Some of you may be wondering how I produced such believeable screenshots. They’re NOT photoshopped. They’re legit in-game screenshots.
I was inspired when I decided to make myself a weakaura or addon that changed the way my bags look on my UI.
This is how the original weakaura looks: (I use ClassicUI)

As you can see, I like customizing my icons, but I couldn’t just add the bags to a macro, so I modified them the only way I could: with code. I also changed the tooltips and bag names for a seamless illusion.
If I can change the tooltip text I can also change the text color. I thought “Pff I can make them look legendary if I want”. Thus, this ruse was born.
This is what I did:
- Altered an in-game barrel icon to be purple. A new legendary would have a new, unique icon, no?
- Made a weakaura with that icon and anchored it to a bag slot position in my opened bag where a random gray was placed in order to get a tooltip on hover.
- Added an orange border on top.
- Modified the tooltip by clearing the old one and adding custom lines.
- Added a few messages to the chat to look like I looted Tka’ktath and got the bag.
- Then, for the second screenshot, I repositioned my reagent bag and moved it’s border and background to accomodate more slots.
- Added a bunch of empty slot icons.
- Added some icons of reagents on top, with rarity colored borders on top and stack numbers. (Exactly 1 pixel off center to the right - just like Blizzard! Once you see it you cannot unsee it. Sorry!)
- Changed the icon of the bag in the bag bar and its tooltip.
- Changed the icon of the opened bag (the one in the circle) and the bag’s name next to it.
I could’ve made it a video and it would have been even more believeable.
The only thing I CAN’T do is make it show up on wowhead or put it in a trade window.
If you want to try a small bit of this yourself, open your reagent bag and paste these in chat one after another (it’s perfectly safe, I promise!):
/run local a=ContainerFrame6 a:AdjustPointsOffset(0,42) a.NineSlice.BottomLeftCorner:AdjustPointsOffset(0,-42) a.NineSlice.BottomRightCorner:AdjustPointsOffset(0,-42) a.Bg:SetPoint("BOTTOM",0,-42)
/run local f=CreateFrame("Frame","NvnX1",ContainerFrame6) f:SetPoint("BOTTOM",-62.8,-33.5) f:SetSize(37,37) f.tex=f:CreateTexture() f.tex:SetAllPoints(f) f.tex:SetAtlas("bags-item-slot64")
/run local f=CreateFrame("Frame",nil,NvnX1) f:SetPoint("CENTER",0.2,-0.5) f:SetSize(64,64) f.tex=f:CreateTexture() f.tex:SetAllPoints(f) f.tex:SetTexture(130841)
Look! You now have a new non-functional bag slot! Do a /reload to revert the changes.
