Bags & food

Before the first pull

Level 14: detour for a bag?

If you keep leaving loot behind, start the sleeping bag chain at the charred remains in Westfall (Alliance) or the Barrens (Horde). You can pick up a 12-slot bag at the Stepping Stones stop in Stonetalon Mountains. The Cosy Sleeping Bag itself comes at the end. If your group is already at the portal, save the detour for later.

Food for the run

An Herb Baked Egg is enough for your first run. Sit and eat for at least ten seconds: Well Fed gives you 1 Stamina and 5% more experience from kills for 15 minutes. It won’t increase quest turn-in XP. Pack a spare egg in case the group wipes.
