WoW Forever And That Note You Found: Starts and Turn-In

Researched November 12, 2026 from the linked references. This is not presented as a first-hand route run or damage test.

Where do you start “…and that note you found”?

Your faction determines which clue comes first. This page covers only the opening note quest; use the complete sleeping-bag route for the mountain, dam, and wall stages. Search variants such as “and the note you found” refer to the same opening question, not a separate route.

Faction	Accept	Turn in
Alliance	Westfall, wrecked cart by Alexston Farmstead, about 37, 50	The Barrens, burned tower south of Camp Taurajo, about 46, 74
Horde	The Barrens, burned tower, about 46, 74	Westfall, wrecked cart, about 37, 50

Both locations use Burned-Out Remains. You are looking for an object rather than a standing quest-giver. Method and Icy Veins describe this faction-dependent exchange.

What should you do at the second clue?

Interact with the remains, complete the turn-in, and check the nearby clue for Stepping Stones. In the Barrens, inspect the board beside the remains. Before leaving, reopen the quest log and confirm the next task is actually accepted. A completed first quest is not proof that the follow-up is active.

Write down the next quest name rather than relying on a remembered map marker. This avoids reaching the mountain camp while still missing the instruction that leads there.

What is the safest way to plan the journey?

Plan one crossing at a time and account for your character’s level, flight points, and hearthstone. A route that works for an experienced higher-level character may be a poor choice for a new one. Avoid enemy settlements and ask a friend for help when the road is beyond your ability.

A movement potion listed as a quest reward is not automatically an acceptance requirement. Read the current quest window before buying supplies specifically for the hand-in.

Why can the quest appear incomplete?

What you see	What to inspect
Same object name, no turn-in	Whether this is the first or the second region
Completed note quest, no mountain objective	Whether you accepted Stepping Stones
You can see wreckage but cannot interact	Find the remains, not just the cart or tower model
A requirements message appears	Record its wording, rewards, bag space, and current quest state

The final row is a troubleshooting checklist, not confirmation of a universal bug. Avoid repeatedly abandoning and reacquiring the quest without checking the state first.

Continue with the sleeping-bag chain, inspect class travel and survival considerations, or review camping-related professions before the next leg.
