Cozy Sleeping Bag Quest in WoW Forever: Full Route (Alliance & Horde)

The Cozy Sleeping Bag is a reusable item that gives you up to 3% bonus experience. You get it from a quest chain that has no quest giver. You find a note, follow clues across both continents and finish on top of Thoradin’s Wall. It first appeared in Season of Discovery, and Forever brings it back with the same route.

This guide covers both factions step by step. Item effects, cooldowns and bag sizes come from the Forever game files (build 1.60.1.70790). The route and coordinates come from community guides and checks by players since launch.

Quick facts

The quest chain in order

You never talk to an NPC. Every step is an object you click.

Horde route

1. The Barrens: Burned-Out Remains (46, 74)

Go to the burnt-out tower in the south of The Barrens, south of Camp Taurajo. Click the Burned-Out Remains to start …and that note you found. It sends you to Westfall.

2. Westfall: Nailed Plank (37, 50)

You have two ways to reach the Eastern Kingdoms:

• Zeppelin from Orgrimmar to Grom’gol in Stranglethorn Vale. You land closer to Westfall.
• Boat from Ratchet to Booty Bay. Closer to The Barrens, but you run north through more of Stranglethorn.

From Stranglethorn, follow the road north into Westfall. The Nailed Plank is at the Alexston Farmstead in the east of the zone. Westfall is Alliance territory, so on a PvP realm expect company.

Rewards: Swiftness Potion and Lesser Troll’s Blood Potion. You now have Stepping Stones.

3. Stonetalon Mountains: Pocket Litter

Hearth or portal back to Kalimdor. Go to Sun Rock Retreat and look for a path into the hills near it. The path ends at a small abandoned camp with Pocket Litter on the ground.

Rewards: Flint and Tinder, 3 Simple Wood, a Sturdy Lunchbox (12-slot bag) and your choice of Mining Pick or Farmer’s Shovel.

Use the Flint and Tinder and the wood on the campfire in the camp to finish the optional quest Rekindle.

4. Stonetalon Mountains: Mound of Dirt

Pick up Scramble and go a short way east. The Mound of Dirt is in the side of the hill. Click it.

Rewards: 3 Student Fodder, 200 Feathered Arrows, 200 Exploding Shots and your choice of Silver Star, Moonsight Rifle or Precision Bow. You now have Wet Job.

5. Loch Modan: Carved Figurine (49, 12)

This is the step Horde players complain about. The route most guides suggest:

1. Zeppelin from Orgrimmar to Undercity.
2. Run south through Silverpine Forest and into Hillsbrad Foothills.
3. Go east into Arathi Highlands (a level 30–40 zone, so stay on the road).
4. Cross the bridge south into the Wetlands and follow the road to Loch Modan.

The Carved Figurine is on the Stonewrought Dam in the north of Loch Modan. You have to drop down onto a ledge on the dam to reach it. There are level 30 guards in the area, so come at night, bring a friend, or accept a corpse run.

Rewards: Hickory Pipe and Rumsey Rum Light. You now have Eagle’s Fist.

6. Hillsbrad Foothills: Thoradin’s Wall

Go back north through the Wetlands and Arathi Highlands to Thoradin’s Wall. Do the jump below.

Alliance route

1. Westfall: Nailed Plank (37, 50)

Go to the Alexston Farmstead in eastern Westfall and click the Nailed Plank to start …and that note you found. It sends you to The Barrens.

2. The Barrens: Burned-Out Remains (46, 74)

Ways to reach The Barrens:

• Boat from Menethil Harbor to Theramore, then run west.
• Boat from Booty Bay to Ratchet.
• Boat from Stormwind to Auberdine (or a Darnassus portal and the boat from Rut’theran Village), then run south through Ashenvale.

The ruined tower is in the south of the zone. Rewards: Swiftness Potion and Lesser Troll’s Blood Potion. You now have Stepping Stones.

3. Stonetalon Mountains: Pocket Litter and Mound of Dirt

Same camp near Sun Rock Retreat as on the Horde route. Sun Rock is a Horde town, so approach from the hills and stay clear of the guards.

• Pocket Litter rewards: Flint and Tinder, 3 Simple Wood, an Old Toolbox (12-slot bag) and Mining Pick or Farmer’s Shovel.
• Mound of Dirt (Scramble) rewards: 3 Student Fodder, 200 Feathered Arrows, 200 Exploding Shots and Silver Star, Moonsight Rifle or Precision Bow.

4. Loch Modan: Carved Figurine (49, 12)

Easy for Alliance. Leave Ironforge by the main gate, run east through Dun Morogh to Loch Modan and drop onto the ledge of the Stonewrought Dam.

5. Hillsbrad Foothills: Thoradin’s Wall

From Loch Modan, run north through the Wetlands, cross the bridge into Arathi Highlands and head north-west to Thoradin’s Wall. Go through the gate to the Hillsbrad side. Arathi is level 30–40, so stay on the road if you are low level.

The jump onto Thoradin’s Wall

This is the “jumping puzzle” people talk about. It is short.

1. Stand on the Hillsbrad side of the wall.
2. Find the cart leaning against a gap in the northern part of the wall.
3. Jump onto the cart, then onto the wall.
4. Walk along the top of the wall until you reach a platform with a Messenger Bag hanging from it. Click it to finish Eagle’s Fist.
5. Click the Hastily Rolled-Up Satchel below it to finish This Must Be the Place.

Final rewards: Cozy Sleeping Bag and 5 Student Fodder.

If you fall off, walk back to the cart and try again. There is no timer and nothing attacks you on the wall.

How the Cozy Sleeping Bag works

From the game files:

• Use: “Unfurl a sleeping bag. Resting inside for at least one minute will provide a bonus to experience earned, stacking up to 3 times.”
• Buff: Well-Rested, +1% experience per stack, up to 3 stacks (+3%).
• Buff duration: 2 hours.
• Cooldown: 1 hour.
• Bag duration: the bag stays on the ground for up to 20 minutes.
• Binding: Bind on Pickup, usable from level 1.

What players and guides add:

• You cannot use it in cities or inns (rested areas).
• Anyone in your party can lie on your bag. If your own bag is on cooldown, use a friend’s.
• Lying in the bag counts as a rested area, so you also earn normal rested XP while you lie in it.
• The bag disappears if you walk about 100 yards away. Get all three stacks before you leave.
• PvP-flagged players cannot use a bag placed by an unflagged player, and the other way round.

Stacking with other XP bonuses

The sleeping bag stacks with cooking food and camp buffs. The usual routine is to put a campfire down, unroll the bag next to it and eat while you lie down. You get all three bonuses in one stop. See the camping guide for which camp objects help leveling. The Well Rested perk in the Legacy calculator is a separate account bonus that makes rested XP build up faster.

Student Fodder

You get 8 in total from the chain (3 from Scramble, 5 at the end). The Forever version does not give XP like it did in Season of Discovery. From the game files:

• Restores 500 health and 900 mana instantly (rage and energy users get some of their resource back too).
• Then heals 175 health every 2 seconds for 12 seconds.
• 5-minute cooldown. Bind on Pickup.

Save them for emergencies in dungeons or for the long run through Arathi.

Tips

• Do it early. +3% XP that you can refresh every hour adds up over 60 levels, so the sooner you have the bag, the more it pays off.
• Grab library books on the way. The route passes several of them. See the library book map and tracker.
• Take the bag rewards. The Sturdy Lunchbox and Old Toolbox are 12-slot bags, which is a big upgrade at this level.

What is not confirmed yet

• Exact coordinates of the Pocket Litter and the Mound of Dirt. Guides only describe the path from Sun Rock Retreat.
• Bugs at launch. We have not found a confirmed bug or hotfix for this chain since 4 November.
• Whether lying in the bag stacks with the Legacy Well Rested perk beyond normal rested XP. Neither the item nor the perk text says so.
