Sorry if this has already been discussed in the past. The monk in me hates to bring this up in case it turns out to be correct. Medicine bags are my budget bag of choice on P99. I was looking around on waybackmachine and found this entry from allakhazam back in the day:
http://web.archive.org/web/20020112030142/http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=5058
The screencap shows a medicine bag with 6 slots. I looked at Everlore to double check. While Everlore does have a comment from someone mentioning the bag has 6 slots. Literally every other piece of information on that page is wrong, or at the very least highly questionable. It says that the medicine bag is no-drop and cant be sold to merchants, and has a weight of 0.7. I am not exactly willing to just trust that Everlore entry.

The last place I know of to look is castersrealm. However I am unable to navigate to a medicine bag page. I just hit dead paths and broken links.
The current allakhazam has a post from 2006 mentioning that it actually has 8 slots, and not 6 like the screenshot shows. No earlier entries mention the slot count.
I did a quick search of the patch notes posted to allakhazam from 2000 - 2006 but couldn't find a reference to the medicine bag slots being changed at all.
Maybe someone with more game knowledge can fill me in on the truth. But if someone has an urge to ruin the best budget monk bag on p99 then see if you can find some more old references to the medicine bags slot count.
