I crafted the Elegant Tailors Backpack. It has and upgrade slot, and an offensive infusion slot. Nothing seems to fit in them. Wiki doesn’t seem to have any info either. Can/would someone please tell me the types of items I can use for this?

Remember, for the Upgrade, it is a Level 78 Backpack, so you can’t slot Level 80 Upgrades.

There ya go! Good luck.

The crafted ‘packs are level 78, not level 80. So you can’t slot in the usual “best” jewels into them (Exquisite), as those require a level 80 base item to be placed into.

The “best in slot” upgrades for the crafted backpacks are Embellished Brilliant Jewels, which only require level 65.

And for what its worth, the crafted back items have higher base stats than a normal back item despite being only level 78. So a crafted back item + an Embellished Brilliant Jewel is actually BETTER than a standard level 80 back item with an Exquisite Jewel. So you don’t lose anything (in fact, you gain a very small amount), its just set up in an odd way that makes it slightly odd to figure out.
