There are a lot of changes toWoW Classicin theSeason of Discovery, and with the launch of Phase Two, a whole bunch of new content just went live.Aside from new Runes, Raids, weapons, and gear, though, Phase Two also introduces a new item – the Cozy Sleeping Bag, which can boost your XP gain by a small amount.
Any boost to XP gained will be worth more the earlier you get a Cozy Sleeping Bag in SoD, though some zones the questline will take you throughcan be tricky at low levels. The questline is well worth picking up as soon as you can not just because of what the Cozy Sleeping Bag does, but also because of the other rewards you can get along the way.
Cozy Sleeping Bag: Effects & Quest Rewards
The Cozy Sleeping Bag SoD item isa permanent reusableitem, not a consumable, with a nearly3-hour-long cooldown. When used, your character will summon a Sleeping Bag in the in-game world at their feet. When you summon it, or when you walk onto a Sleeping Bag, your characterwill automatically fall asleepafter a second or two – complete with comically large Z’s.
But don’t be too hasty to get back up – if youstay in the Sleeping Bag for one minute, you’ll get theWell-Restedbuff, whichincreases your XP gained by 1%.This effect can stackup to three times fora total of 3% extra XP gainedby resting for three minutes. Thebuff lasts for two hours, and starts counting down when you walk away from the Cozy Sleeping Bag.
It’s not a huge XP boost, but something is always better than nothing. Plus, if members of your party or raid don’t have their own Cozy Sleeping Bag, they can still get this buff from any other party member’s Sleeping Bag by just walking onto it.
Other Quest Rewards
The questline for the Cozy Sleeping Bag has lots of other rewards, too, though unfortunately none ofthe new SoD Runes. First, each of these series of quests rewards a flat XP amount, which can be an enormous boost the earlier you start. Each step of the quest chain offers material rewards, too – like various decent Potions, materials, weapons,a 12-slot bag, great ammo for characters getting started with Phase Two, and something called Student Fodder.
Student Fodderis a new item that is consumed on use, and over the course of this questline, you will get eight Student Fodder to use in your journey to level cap. Student Foddergives you about a 20% filled Rested XP bar, increasing the amount of XP you get from killing mobs by 100%.
The later you use Student Fodder, the more useful it will be, as leveling up in the late 30’s can take a much longer time than earlier levels, but the percentage of Rested XP you get remains the same. Wait to use these until leveling starts to feel like a chore.
How To Get The Cozy Sleeping Bag – Step By Step
Step One: Alliance and Horde Start Locations
The Alliance and Horde start the Cozy Sleeping Bag quest in different locations, but ultimately converge into the same questline after the first initial steps.
Both Horde and Alliance need to complete the other factions' starting quest.
After this initial step, both factions visit the same locations from here on out – for better or worse.
Either way, walk north on the main road in Stonetalon until you arejust barely above the Sun Rock Retreat name on your world map, at coordinates (51.6, 52.0). Look southwest to see a new trail that leads into the mountains, just barely out of view. Follow this trail for a few minutes until you reach another camp, and another note.
After reading the note at the camp at the end of the trail, face northwest, and walk to the ledge of the cliffs.Look on the mountainside for a small mound of dirt– carefully scale the cliffside to reach this mound of dirt, and interact with it, to get the last note of the Cozy Sleeping Bag quest.
Step Three: Then Jump Off the Stonewrought Dam in Loch Modan
This third step is the most difficult for Horde players as it requires not only going into enemy territory (not contested), it also requires them to go to one of the most-guarded areas of the zone.
There isn’t an easy way to get off the side of the Stonewrought Dam without dying. It is possible to jump into the middle of the dam’s side and slide into the water unharmed, but it’s pretty precise. Take the risk, or use a Hearthstone to get to the next step.
Step Three: Find a Gap and a Jumping Puzzle in Thoradin’s Wall
The last step of this quest chainisn’t particularly badfor either Horde or Alliance players to get to – unless, of course, you are bad at platforming. Thoradin’s Wall borders the Arathi Highlands and Hillsbrad Foothills, and just north of the path that leads through the Wall is this new jumping puzzle.
Head to either Hillsbrad or Arathi and make your way to the middle of Thoradin’s wall. Then, head north until you see a large gap in the wall and a cart on its side. Jump onto the middle of the cart, then walk up its tilted side to reach the top of the wall. Turn south, and prepare to jump on various objects and wall features to make your way to the end of the rampart.
You should start to see a lot of people in Sleeping Bags, and indeed, this is where you get yours. Head into the tower, look to your right, and interact with the bag here to discover that all the notes have run out – oh well, there’s a nice Cozy Sleeping Bag here at least! Pick up your Cozy Sleeping Bag just below the quest turn-in, and don’t forget to use it as often as you can!
