<p>Awesome backpack! I would really like to see other class specific bags like that. Maybe a bard one with a bunch of instruments!!!</p>

<p>As I haven't bought a themed backpack previously, am I to understand these to be either/or situations? <em>Either</em> slot it as the 44 slot bag <em>or</em> drag it to your cloak slot for appearance. But not both?</p><p>And I wanted to ask about the Treeglider's. Are these giant squirrels seen somewhere in Norrath originally? Is there a <em>Druids Gone Wild</em> storyline to explain their existence? <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/97ada74b88049a6d50a6ed40898a03d7.gif" border="0" /></p>

<p>Please make the squirrels work as appearance for Leapers.  I understand why they can't be used as Flier appearance because they don't have wings as such.. but there's no reason why those big legs of theirs can't be used to jump.</p><p>They are the single cutest mount, ever, and I'd use one more if it could be a Leaper appearance.  Gliders are so annoying to control that I avoid them.</p>

[Cloudrat]

<p>I love the look of the new squirrel, now make them appearance mount for flyers and all my rats will ride  one.  They are the perfect mount for sailing around the skies.  I have bunches and bunches of maxed crafters using flying mounts that would prefer squirrels heh</p>

I agree. Would buy a squirrel in a heartbeat if it was a leaper, or if it could be used as an appearance mount for leapers or fliers. I will never buy a glider, as they are a huge pain to try to control.
