you should get ~2 of these.
they are for sale any time of the day and week in EC tunnel for 50pp a piece.

then depending on your class (STR and needs), probably Medicine Bags, maybe a Fletching Kit / Sewing Kit, etc.

As for dropped special bags in the cheap category:

https://wiki.project1999.com/Archeologist_Pack (100pp or lvl ~25 mob)
https://wiki.project1999.com/Travelers_Pack (100pp or lvl 25 mob)
https://wiki.project1999.com/Shralok_Pack (125pp or lvl ~21 mob)

These are also often found in EC tunnel.

A lot of the orc/gnoll style mobs drop bags. The pawns. You can farm them off them by focusing your first few levels on them.

This is a good free source for starting characters. And as you collect too many, they sell nicely too.

I heard that Mithaniel Kors makes some nice bags. Not exactly cheap though...

I'm one of the folks who is playing again after a 17 year hiatus.
I'm trying to grind it out and wanted some info here.
What is the best deal for a bag or container for a newbie?
Are there any free quest only items?

You should get to Iceclad Ocean and buy some Deluxe Toolboxes.
I want to say they cost about 5 platinum each.
So save up enough to buy 6-8 before making the trip.
(https://wiki.project1999.com/Deluxe_Toolbox) from the gnome merchant Adinel Jailbar.

You could ask a druid for a port/sow/levitate/escort which would be the fastest way to get there.

Or you could go to the Northern Desert of Ro docks and wait for the raft, then take the boat from the island to the snow. This will take a lot longer but you could do it by yourself. Just be very careful to not get killed by Snow Cougars, they are very camouflaged in the snow.

Lower Guk, Evil Eye Bag and Supplier Bag. Supplier bags rot sometimes and you can usually get one for free. The Evil Eye is up often and easy to get too.

10-slot, 3 weight, holds Giant, only 1p and some change. Fill your bank with them. Carry some as well.

3-5 min run. Get a port to Iceclad and ask for a sow/lev/invis. Run straight out of the dragon portal over the water and island hop until you get to the gnome camp. The seller is in an igloo.
