Among Forever's hidden discoveries, the Cozy Bedroll is one of the few "everyone should grab it" items: the 3% group XP bonus is group-shared and the only persistent XP buff of the launch window, and the chain hands you a 12-slot bag on the way. This post is the Horde edition: starting in the Barrens, with a transcontinental mid-leg. Alliance players see the Alliance edition; the shared world overview and waypoints live in the overview post.
Scope notes: route and coordinates from community testing (10-02 to 10-04); mechanics cross-checked against Wowhead and in-game reports. Figures are renders of the site's client basemap with site-made annotations (base map © Blizzard, local client 1.60.1.70862 zhCN); none in-game verified.
The quest unlocks at 14, but run the full circuit at 16: the mid-leg crosses continents and passes through level-30 guard territory — too low, and the guards delete you.
Horde route: starting in the Barrens, with a transcontinental mid-leg
- ① Accept: the Tower Ruins, the Barrens (46,74, community-reported) — on the southern road below Camp Taurajo, on the way to the Thousand Needles.
- ② First hand-in · Stonetalon Mountains (50,50): from the Barrens, head north into Stonetalon — the same valley road leads to the central junction; turn in and take the follow-up step on the spot.
- ③ Second hand-in · the Stonewrought Dam, Loch Modan (49,13): this stop is a transcontinental haul for the Horde — back from Kalimdor to the northern Eastern Kingdoms; the way passes level-30 guard territory, so don't force it under-leveled.
- ④ Finale · Thoradin's Wall, Hillsbrad Foothills (87,48): the same jump point as the Alliance — drop off for the satchel and turn in.
Horde players have also worked out a 90-minute "speed grab" route for the whole chain (community, 10-02) — worth a look if you're pressed for time; running the circuit as written takes about 1.5-2 hours.
the Barrens — the Horde start ①, the Tower Ruins (46,74, community-reported), on the southern road below Camp Taurajo, on the way to the Thousand Needles
Stonetalon Mountains — the ② hand-in (50,50, community-reported) sits at the central path junction: take the follow-up step before leaving
Loch Modan — the ③ Stonewrought Dam (49,13, community-reported), at the northern tip of the Loch; the second hand-in happens on the dam itself
Hillsbrad Foothills — the ④ Thoradin's Wall (87,48, community-reported), the wall section on the eastern map edge where Hillsbrad meets Arathi; the jump point is on this stretch

The full reward list
- Cozy Bedroll: 3% group XP. Mechanics: 1-hour cooldown, lie in it for 3 minutes to trigger, lasts 2 hours, shared with your party — take turns and the whole group gets the buff;
- 12-slot bag (the Old Toolbox): one of the biggest early bag upgrades;
- Student's Trail Mix ×5: rested-XP food;
- Assorted small goods: dried fruit, a peach-wood pipe, rum, arrows and shot — trivial each, all useful while levelling.
Bedroll mechanics quick reference
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Group XP bonus | +3% (party-shared; take turns, everyone gets it) |
| Trigger | 3 minutes lying in it |
| Duration | 2 hours |
| Cooldown | 1 hour |
| Inn rested XP | No conflict; stacks as an independent layer |
Time budget
Pure travel runs 1.5-2 hours; Horde players also have the 90-minute speed route (see above).
Two common questions
"Can I accept at 14 and run it at 16?" — Yes; accepting early and executing later is common practice. Just don't let it crowd out your quest log.
"Does the bedroll conflict with inn rested XP?" — No. The bedroll is a separate group XP buff; inn rested XP (accumulated offline) still applies, and they stack. If a teammate's leatherworking tent is nearby, it tops your rested XP up to 5% of a level (no effect once you exceed that) — another independent layer.
