Guild Wars 2

A while back I bought a bunch of inventory bags from a random merchant. Naturally, I equipped as many as I could to increase my inventory size. Well now I have the 10 slot inventory bag from the Halloween event and I can’t seem to find out how to equip it. All my bag slots are full and I can’t unequip them to replace one of them with the Halloween one. Anyone know why this is?

My guess would be becuase you have too much stuff in your inventory. You can’t unequip a bag that has items in it. Sorry if that doesn’t help, it’s the only reason I can think of.

You can manually unslot one of your existing bags by making it empty and then dragging it out of the slot it’s in back into your inventory (another bag).
Then you have 1 empty bag slot you can equip the trick or treat 10 slot in.

Oh okay thanks! Had no idea it had to be empty first.

If you drag the halloween bag on top of one of the bags you want to exchange it for, the halloween bag will take its place and all of the stuff from the first bag will be in the halloween bag. I did it myself yesterday.

Actually as long as the bag you’re replacing doesn’t have more than 10 slots full of items you can just drag and drop and the items in the bag will just transfer to it.

Exactly. The only reason that won’t work is the bag is bigger and has more items in it than the bag you’re trying to replace it with.

The bag is also soulbound instead of account bound. This was a bad idea imo. The first toon that finished the event for me already had 15-slot bags. Unfortunately I cannot give the bag to a lowbie alt.

Have you tried dragging the new bag over an existing one? Should work.

Dragging did not work for me, but I assume it was because my (empty!) bag was bigger.
Why try to equip a smaller bag? Well, just to test it.
