A break from World of Warcraft – that’s exactly what a new item forces. Exactly these forced breaks are quite celebrated by some players.
In World of Warcraft Classic, the “Season of Discoveries” is currently running and the second phase has begun. This not only comes with new rules, such as the ban on GDKP, but also with fresh secrets and exclusive items. One of these items makes the players quite excited – because it forces them to take a break every now and then. This seems to be a real blessing for the hardcore community of Classic.
What is this item? We’re talking about the item “Cozy Sleeping Bag”. This is a new item in the Season of Discoveries. The sleeping bag has a high cooldown of almost 3 hours, but the effect is worth it:
When you activate the sleeping bag, you roll it out on the ground. For every minute you spend motionless in the sleeping bag, you get a 1% XP buff – this is stackable up to a maximum of 3% if you spend a full 3 minutes in the sleeping bag. The buff lasts for 2 hours afterward.
The sleeping bag is not consumed, so you can use it again afterward. Other players in your group can also simply lie down next to you to benefit from the XP bonus.
So the sleeping bag “forces” you to take a 3-minute break every few hours to benefit from an XP buff.
How to get the Cozy Sleeping Bag in WoW SoD
You receive the sleeping bag as a reward at the end of a questline, for which you basically have to travel around the entire world (of Warcraft). We will soon reveal how to secure the sleeping bag.
Alliance characters:
- Step 1: Travel to Westfall to the coordinates 37 / 50. In the collapsed, burnt wooden beams, you will find a charred corpse. Click on it to start the quest “…and this note you found.”
- Step 2: Travel to the Barrens to the coordinates 46 / 74. Here too, you will find a charred corpse. Complete the quest and accept the new quest “Stepping Stones”.
Horde characters:
- Step 1: Travel to the Barrens to the coordinates 46 / 74. Here you will find a charred corpse that starts the quest “…and this note you found.” when clicked.
- Step 2: Travel to Westfall to the coordinates 37 / 50. In the collapsed, burnt wooden beams, you will find another charred corpse. Complete the quest and then accept “Stepping Stones”.
After this, both factions continue identically:
- Step 3: Travel to the Stonecrag Mountains to the coordinates 51 / 52. Here begins a small path that you follow to an abandoned camp (41 / 52). On a small crate, you will find “Pocket Trash” – click it to complete “Stepping Stones” and accept the new mission “Get out of here”.
- Step 4: From the camp, go directly north. In the distance, you can see a small “dirt pile” that you need to make some skillful jumps to reach. Click the pile, complete the quest and accept the new task “Wet Affair”.
- Step 5: Travel to Loch Modan to the coordinates 49 / 13 and click on a small eagle statue. The statue is located on the large heads of the dam that protrude towards the Wetlands. Hand in your quest and accept “Eagle Claw”.
- Step 6: Travel to the Hillsbrad Foothills, at the border to the Arathi Highlands. At the coordinates 87 / 50, you will find a tipped-over cart that you can climb onto the Thoradin Wall. In a small room on the wall, you can see a courier bag hanging on the wall, along with a note. Complete your quest and accept the follow-up quest “This Must Be the Place”.
You can complete the quest immediately by clicking the bag under the bag. As a reward, you finally get the sleeping bag!
As a bonus, you even receive 8 units of “Trail mix”. When you consume this item, you will receive 4 bars of the “Rested” state – with this, you gain double experience from killing monsters.
This is what the community says: The players are quite excited about this item (via reddit). Because even if the XP buff is quite small and 3% is just a drop in the bucket, the sleeping bag provides a sense of unity and ensures that everyone can take a little break – because this is something that is easily forgotten in World of Warcraft:
- “Not only does the questline give you more than a level’s worth of Rested XP and about half a level-up, but it also gives you a reason to just step away from the PC or talk to people every 2 hours while waiting for the XP bonus to kick in.” – LiteratureFabulous36
- “Honestly, the fact that it encourages and rewards you for just taking a little break probably makes this item the best thing I’ve seen in a long time.” – Detharious
- “You can even log out anywhere while lying in it; it counts as a rest zone.” – Any-Yellow-5424
- “Setting down the sleeping bag at the start of a dungeon is a great way to give yourself and everyone else in the group a 3-minute break to grab a drink or step away briefly before storming through the dungeon.” – PoignantPoint22
Have you already gotten the sleeping bag, and do you use it regularly? Or do you think it’s not worth the effort?
Although the Season of Discoveries is new, many players make ancient jokes.
