How to Get the Cozy Sleeping Bag in WoW Forever as Horde or Alliance

The WoW Forever Cozy Sleeping Bag is hidden at the end of six quests that nobody hands you. No NPC, no yellow "!" on the map. Your first lead is a scorched scrap in some wreckage, and each find points to the next one. By the end you've crossed two continents, picked up a free bag for your inventory and earned a bedroll that adds up to 3% to the XP you gain. If you'd rather skip both the trip and the grind, our WoW Forever powerleveling handles it for you.

Checked on November 9, 2026. Names, levels, rewards and XP are taken from Wowhead's Forever database (patch 1.60.1). We compared the route in their guide with three more write-ups and flag every spot where they don't agree.

• Six quests in total. The first clue opens at level 14, while the quests themselves are 22 to 32.
• Alliance begins in Westfall, Horde in The Barrens. After the second stop both factions run an identical route.
• Stepping Stones pays out exactly one 12-slot container. Wowhead's reward box shows the Old Toolbox and the Sturdy Lunchbox side by side, yet you walk away with only one.
• At matching level, all six turn-ins come to 10,950 XP.
• Each minute spent lying in the bedroll stacks +1% XP, three stacks max. One hour later it's ready again.
• Nothing here can be shared. Every friend clicks every clue on their own.

What Is the Cozy Sleeping Bag Good For?

Think of it as a portable inn you carry around. Unroll it, lie down, and after one minute you've got a 1% XP buff. Stay for three minutes and that climbs to 3%. Wowhead's guide gives the buff an hour, matching the cooldown, so you get roughly one nap per hour of questing.

A few things people only learn once they've used it:

• While you're on it, you count as resting. Log off on the bedroll and your blue bar keeps filling like it would in a tavern.
• It's not just yours. Party members can lie down on the same roll, so a single one covers a whole group's break.
• Cities and inns block it. Those spots already give rested status, so the game won't let you unfold it there.
• Dying doesn't remove the buff in Forever. Several guides tested it, which is handy if you level in risky spots.
• Check the tooltip of the Cozy Sleeping Bag and you'll see it's Unique and Binds when picked up, with an item level of 40. Lost it? Once the chain is done, Rix Xizzix in Booty Bay has a spare for sale.

Along the trail you'll also collect Student Fodder. Back in Season of Discovery it handed out rested XP. Forever changed that. Now it's a solid heal that also gives back some mana, rage or energy, usable every 5 minutes.

Where Do You Find the First Clue?

If you're Alliance, ride out to Alexston Farmstead in Westfall. Horde folks want the burnt-out watchtower by the road, a little way south of Camp Taurajo in The Barrens. Same deal in both spots: there's a heap of Burned-Out Remains, you click it, and quest one pops up.

For the first two stops the factions simply trade places. You turn in at the spot where the other side began, then a plank right beside it gives Stepping Stones. Past that point, both factions head to Stonetalon and share the rest of the trail.

Stop	You finish	Object to click	Map spot	You start
1	-	Burned-Out Remains	Westfall 37, 50 for Alliance, The Barrens 46, 74 for Horde	... and that note you found
2	... and that note you found, 1,750 XP	Burned-Out Remains, then the Nailed Plank	The other faction's first spot	Stepping Stones
3	Stepping Stones, 1,950 XP plus a 12-slot bag	Pocket Litter, lying on a crate	Stonetalon, 40.6, 52.4	Scramble
4	Scramble, 200 XP	Mound of Dirt	Stonetalon, 39.6, 49.8	Wet Job
5	Wet Job, 2,550 XP	Carved Figurine	Loch Modan dam, 49.4, 12.9	Eagle's Fist
6	Eagle's Fist, 2,550 XP, then This Must Be The Place, 1,950 XP	Messenger Bag, then the Hastily Rolled-Up Satchel	Thoradin's Wall in Hillsbrad, 87.3, 49.6	This Must Be The Place

The XP column assumes you're close to each quest's level. Show up ten levels later and every turn-in shrinks.

Sleeping Bag Chain for Alliance Players

Alliance has it easy. The two hardest stops are each a short hop from a friendly flight master. Plan on an hour or two, or less if your flight map is already filled in.

1. Westfall. Ride to Alexston Farmstead and look for a smashed cart. The scorched pile in it starts quest one.
2. The Barrens. Getting there is a boat ride: Booty Bay to Ratchet works, so does Menethil to Theramore plus a walk north. Once you're in the Barrens, stay on the big road heading south. Camp Taurajo goes by, and shortly after there's a ruined stone tower. Turn in at the charred pile inside, then click the plank beside it for Stepping Stones. Taurajo is a Horde base, so give it a wide berth.
3. Stonetalon, abandoned camp. A small path leaves the main road at 50.9, 52.3, a bit northeast of Sun Rock Retreat. Go west along it to a deserted campsite. On a first aid crate near the tent you'll find the Pocket Litter. Hand in, take Scramble. Sun Rock is a Horde outpost, so don't wander in.
4. Stonetalon, the ledge. Walk uphill to the north. Peek over the cliff and you'll see a Mound of Dirt on a shelf below you. Drop down, click it, and Wet Job is in your log.
5. Loch Modan, Stonewrought Dam. Unlock the Thelsamar flight point before anything else. Then jump off the dam onto the giant dwarf faces carved into its Wetlands side, where the Carved Figurine is waiting. There's no path back up, so you'll be flying out.
6. Thoradin's Wall. This is the old wall between Hillsbrad and Arathi. On the Hillsbrad side, a cart leans into a hole in the stonework. Walk up the cart, cut through the cramped room behind it and step outside. A Messenger Bag hangs on the wall to your right. Click it, then click the satchel lying under it, and the bedroll is yours.

Sleeping Bag Chain for Horde Players

Horde visits the same six spots, but the Loch Modan leg is a slog through Alliance country. Budget extra time for it, and if you're below 30, accept that you might die once or twice.

1. The Barrens. Head down the road past Camp Taurajo to the burned watchtower and click the remains inside it for quest one.
2. Westfall. Zeppelin from Orgrimmar to Grom'gol, then a long jog up through Stranglethorn and Duskwood. At Alexston Farmstead, turn in at the wrecked cart and grab Stepping Stones from the plank next to it. Hearth back once you're done.
3. Stonetalon, abandoned camp. Fly into Sun Rock Retreat. The side path begins just northeast of town. Follow it to the camp, click the Pocket Litter and accept Scramble.
4. Stonetalon, the ledge. Head north up the slope, hop down onto the Mound of Dirt and pick up Wet Job.
5. Loch Modan, Stonewrought Dam. Here's the long haul. Zeppelin to Undercity, then run east through Hillsbrad, Arathi and the Wetlands. Dwarf guards patrol Dun Algaz, so stick to the edges and skip any fights. The figurine sits on the stone faces of the dam.
6. Thoradin's Wall. You actually ran past it on the way over. Tarren Mill is your closest flight master. Climb the cart on the Hillsbrad side and go through the little room. Outside, it's the Messenger Bag first, then the satchel on the ground under it.

Which Rewards Are Worth Keeping?

Honestly, you're here for two things: the free bag from Stepping Stones and the bedroll at the very end. Everything else is potions, ammo and a ranged slot pick. Coin is barely worth mentioning, less than a gold across all six turn-ins.

Quest	XP	What else you get
... and that note you found	1,750	Two drinks: a Swiftness Potion for running, a Lesser Troll's Blood Elixir for regen
Stepping Stones	1,950	One 12-slot bag (toolbox or lunchbox). You also choose a tool, either the Mining Pick or the Farmer's Shovel, and a little fire kit: Simple Wood to burn, Flint and Tinder to light it
Scramble	200	Pick one ranged item: the Silver Star throwing weapon, a Moonsight Rifle or a Precision Bow. Arrows, shot and Student Fodder come with it
Wet Job	2,550	A Hickory Pipe and a bottle of Rumsey Rum Light
Eagle's Fist	2,550	Nothing, XP only
This Must Be The Place	1,950	The sleeping bag itself and another stack of Student Fodder

That wood and flint go into Rekindle, a side quest at the campfire in the same Stonetalon camp. You can skip it, the bedroll doesn't depend on it. Not a hunter and no gun skill? Grab the Silver Star. Far more classes can throw it.

When Is the Best Time to Run the Chain?

Level 14 lets you start, but the last three quests are level 32. Horde also has to cross the Wetlands and Arathi to reach the dam, and mobs there run from about 20 up to 40. So most folks grab the bags early. The dam and the wall wait for the mid-20s: XP's still decent then, and the roads don't eat you.

An order that suits most characters:

• Clear stops 1 through 4 the moment you can reach Stonetalon. That extra bag is worth the detour on its own.
• Keep Wet Job in your log until you're near Loch Modan anyway, or until your character can survive the trip.
• Finish the last two in one go. For Alliance the dam and the wall are a quick flight apart. For Horde it's one long run.

The bedroll combines well with Well Rested from the account-wide Legacy system, since both feed off rested XP. You'll find how that perk tree works in our WoW Forever Legacy guide.

Why Can't You Find the Next Clue?

We've seen the same five mistakes over and over. The clues are tiny, with no sparkle and no pin on your map, and it's easy to stare right at one. Go down this list first. It'll save you from combing the whole hillside for the third time.

• No Stepping Stones after the turn-in. That one comes from the plank lying beside the charred pile. Clicking the pile again won't offer it.
• Pocket Litter is nowhere. Look up, not down. It's resting on the crate by the tent.
• Can't spot the dirt. It sits on a ledge below and north of the camp. You have to drop onto it from the cliff edge.
• Lost on the dam. The figurine is on the Wetlands-facing heads. The lake side has nothing.
• Can't get inside the wall. The cart only shows from Hillsbrad. Arrive from Arathi and you'll walk straight by.

Cozy Sleeping Bag FAQ

What level should you be for the Cozy Sleeping Bag chain in WoW Forever?

The first clue opens at 14, but that number is misleading. The quests are level 22 to 32, and Horde has to cross the Wetlands and Arathi to reach the dam. Our advice is to take the free bag early and leave the dam and the wall for your mid-20s, when the long runs stop killing you.

How much bonus XP is the Cozy Sleeping Bag worth?

Every minute you spend lying in it adds 1% bonus experience, capped at three stacks, so you hit 3% after three minutes. Wowhead's guide says the buff lasts an hour, the same as the cooldown. While you're on the bedroll you're also resting, exactly like inside an inn.

Is the Cozy Sleeping Bag Alliance only, or can Horde get it too?

Both factions get it from the same six quests. Horde simply begins in The Barrens instead of Westfall, and the first two stops are flipped. The tough part for Horde is the dam in Loch Modan, since the run goes through Alliance land and past the dwarf guards at Dun Algaz.

How many bags do you get from the chain?

Just one 12-slot bag, from Stepping Stones. Wowhead's database puts the Old Toolbox and the Sturdy Lunchbox in the same reward, but in game you receive only one of them. A few guides claim Alliance gets the toolbox and Horde the lunchbox. The final quest then gives the bedroll.

Can you share the Cozy Sleeping Bag quests with your group?

No. Every quest here is flagged as not sharable, so each player clicks the remains, the plank and all later clues on their own character. Travelling together still helps, and once someone owns the bedroll, the whole party can lie on it and pick up the buff.

What if you lose or destroy your Cozy Sleeping Bag?

After you've finished the chain, Rix Xizzix in Booty Bay sells a new one, so there's no need to repeat the quests. The item is Unique and Binds when picked up. In practice that means one per character, and you can't mail or trade it to an alt.
