“…and that note you found” is the hidden first step of the Cozy Sleeping Bag quest chain in World of Warcraft: Forever. There is no quest giver: you click a pile of Burned-Out Remains, at the Alexston Farmstead in Westfall for Alliance or at a burned-out tower in the southern Barrens for Horde, and the note inside sends you to the matching remains on the other continent, where you click again to finish it.
You can start it at level 14, and it is a long trip for a quest with one objective. Below are both starting spots with coordinates, the route across the sea for each faction, what you get, what comes next, and the reasons the quest sometimes seems not to exist, as of November 13.
Where the Quest Starts and Ends
The two piles of remains mirror each other. Your faction’s pile starts the quest, and the other faction’s pile is where you turn it in.
| Faction | Start | Turn in |
|---|---|---|
| Alliance | Burned-Out Remains, Alexston Farmstead, Westfall (about 37.5, 50.6) | Burned-Out Remains, ruined tower in the southern Barrens (about 46.4, 73.9) |
| Horde | Burned-Out Remains, ruined tower in the southern Barrens (about 46.4, 73.9) | Burned-Out Remains, Alexston Farmstead, Westfall (about 37.5, 50.6) |
The Barrens spot is on the Field of Giants, south of the Horde town of Camp Taurajo. The Westfall spot is in the burned field of the farmstead, west of Sentinel Hill.
Step by Step: Alliance
- Be level 14. The remains will not offer the quest before then.
- Go to the Alexston Farmstead in Westfall and find the Burned-Out Remains in the burned field, around 37.5, 50.6. It is an object, not a character, so look for the charred pile rather than a yellow “!”.
- Click the remains and accept the quest. The note is your only clue: it points you to a “twin land,” which is the Barrens.
- Travel to the southern Barrens. The usual routes are the neutral boat from Booty Bay to Ratchet, then a ride south, or the ship from Menethil Harbor to Theramore and a ride west out of Dustwallow Marsh. Our guide to getting to the Barrens as Alliance covers every route.
- Find the ruined tower around 46.4, 73.9 and click the Burned-Out Remains there to turn the quest in. Camp Taurajo’s guards attack Alliance characters on sight, so give the town a wide berth on the way.
Step by Step: Horde
- Be level 14.
- Go to the burned-out tower in the southern Barrens, south of Camp Taurajo, and click the Burned-Out Remains around 46.4, 73.9.
- Accept the quest. The note’s “twin land” is Westfall, in the Eastern Kingdoms.
- Take the zeppelin to Grom’gol Base Camp in Stranglethorn Vale. It leaves from the towers outside Orgrimmar, and our guide to getting to Booty Bay shows the platform.
- Ride north into Duskwood, then west into Westfall. Both are Alliance zones, and Stranglethorn starts at level 30, so stay on the roads and avoid Sentinel Hill and Darkshire, whose guards will attack you.
- Find the Burned-Out Remains at the Alexston Farmstead, around 37.5, 50.6, and click them to turn the quest in.
Our zone level ranges show how far above level 14 those zones run, so plan for a corpse run or two if you travel alone.
What You Get and What Comes Next
The quest pays a Swiftness Potion and a Lesser Troll’s Blood Elixir, plus some experience and coin. The real reward is the chain it opens: turning it in starts Stepping Stones, offered right there at the second pile of remains, and from then on both factions follow the same route through the Stonetalon Mountains, Loch Modan and Thoradin’s Wall to the Cozy Sleeping Bag.
The bag is worth the trip for anyone leveling. Lying in it gives a small experience buff that stacks up to 3%, and it counts as resting, so it builds rested experience the way an inn does. Our guides to getting the sleeping bag and to how rested XP works cover the rest of the chain and the buff, and the Stonetalon stop also rewards Flint and Tinder and Simple Wood for a campfire.
If You Cannot Find the Quest
- You are under level 14. Come back when you are.
- You are looking for a marker. The quest starts from an object, so there is no “!” over it on the map. Stand right next to the burned remains and click them.
- You are at the other faction’s pile. Alliance characters start in Westfall and Horde characters in the Barrens; the far pile is where the quest ends.
- You already did it. If Stepping Stones or a later quest from the chain is in your log, this step is done.
