The Coal Bag is an item that can be used to hold up to 27 un-noted coal ore, or 36 if the smithing cape is worn. This makes it a useful item for both mining and smithing. The bag is not degradable and can be refilled just like essence pouches.
Additionally, the bag has a toggleable effect that allows the user to open the bag. This will automatically place any coal the player obtains into the bag.
