Initially released during the June-July 2018 Duskruin Arena, this container is designed to allow players to store a large number of items within a single space, whether on their person or within a locker. In doing so, the player is able to exceed normal limits on items held by a character or within their locker. The pieces to create a Bag of Holding are found only in the heists.


a treasure box

This is the first thing to grab on your quest for a bag of holding. You'll place all 12 stolen goods into this box.

Found at: [The Ophidian Cabal, Leader - 27159]

>ask ringleader for box
An Ophidian Cabal ringleader asks, "In need of a storage container for those stolen goods?  I can loan one to you as long as you promise to return it to me filled with items from the bank's vault.  Just ask me again about the box within 30 seconds to receive one."

>ask ringleader for box
An Ophidian Cabal ringleader pulls a treasure box from beneath an oversized dark wooden desk and hands it to you.  "Here you go.  Fill it up for me, and I will reward you for your efforts."

You analyze your treasure box and sense that the item cannot be altered in any way.

The creator has also provided the following information:
This treasure box is a container designed to hold stolen goods from Bloodriven Village.  It will hold one each of 12 stolen goods, as well as a special blood crystal.  Once you have found all 12 items, speak with the ringleader inside his hideout.

Please note that once you place an item inside this box, it cannot be removed.

You get no sense of whether or not the box may be further lightened.

a treasure chest

After placing all twelve stolen goods into your treasure box, you can SHOW the treasure box to the Ophidian Cabal ringleader, and it will be transformed into a treasure chest.

You just stored the twelfth piece!  You should go speak with the Ophidian Cabal ringleader, and SHOW him your treasure box.

>show box to ringleader
"Well, I'll be a banker's bosom!" exclaims an Ophidian Cabal ringleader.  "I can't believe you found them all!  Sure, I had high hopes for you, Alastir, but this goes above and beyond all my expectations!  I'll just take that full box and give you this, instead.  I'm sure you'll have no trouble filling it with your own treasures."

An Ophidian Cabal ringleader takes your filled box and shoves an empty treasure chest into your hand.  He smiles proudly and pats you on the shoulder.

Max Encum of Container: 50 pounds (currently carrying 0 pounds)

You get no sense of whether or not the chest may be further lightened.

a large treasure sack with a blood crystal clasp

If you are fortunate enough to find a multifaceted blood crystal, you can go back to the ringleader...

>ask ringleader about crystal
An Ophidian Cabal ringleader says, "You got your paws on a blood crystal? Well, then... you're the kind of worker I'm after. I'll keep my word and reward you handsomely for bringing me that crystal. Here, let me unburden you of that, and in return, I'll trade you a final time, and give you a sack that has a special clasp on it. It'll only take a moment, and if you have anything stored, I'll be sure to move it over to the new container."

With that, the ringleader takes both the crystal and the chest from you, pockets the crystal and pulls a sack from beneath an oversized dark wooden desk. "See? I said only a moment, and it wasn't a minute longer. I believe you'll find this most versatile. Return to me if you find more."

The multifaceted blood crystal is golvern segment rare, but it unlocks a major Bag of Holding.
