Unable to equip bags to alt

My alt is unable to equip new bags.

She has absolutely nothing in her bags - I even removed the hearthstone just in case - but I still get the error message, “No equipment slot is available for that item”.

Was advised to put them in the default backpack and then try again but that didn’t work either.

The only thing I can think of is the small bags that auto-added themselves into the empty bag slots on Exile Island, but I’ve not been able to find out how to remove those so I can add new bags, so am assuming this is a bug.

Same thing happening to me. It doesn’t work.

So insanely scuffed.

In order to equip them you have to “Show” the bags in the interface with the little “>” arrow above that greyscale ugly microbar on the bottom right. Then you have to drag and drop them.

How intuitive and new player friendly. I’ve been playing this game for 15 years and it took me like 5 minutes of troubleshooting just to figure out how to equip a god damn bag.
