How it works

  1. Step 1: Find a crate

    A Waylaid Crate can come from ordinary mobs, some chests and dungeon mobs, and since crates can be traded you can also buy them on the auction house. The word in the middle of the name gives the tier: Apprentice from level 10, Journeyman from level 10, Expert from level 20, Artisan from level 35.

  2. Step 2: Fill it

    Right-click it: it lists several bundles, and any one of them fills it. Click the stack you want to give in your bags; the whole amount has to be in one stack. You need no gathering profession: buy the materials if you like. What each crate takes.

  3. Step 3: Hand it in at the camp

    Bring the sealed crate to Marcy Baker (Alliance) or Dokimi (Horde). Your first crate also gives you a Shipping Label: its quest pays 50 more Favor and 2,000 reputation, once per character.

  4. Step 4: Spend the Favor

    Every crafting profession has its own vendor at the camp, with recipes from 30 to 240 Favor and a title certificate at 300 skill. Others sell a pet, a toy license, a mount and the tabard. Favor cannot be sent to an alt: it belongs to the character who earned it. What they sell.

Crates: what they take and pay

What a crate pays

Crates come in two colours. White ones want raw materials such as herbs, ore and cloth; green ones want crafted goods such as bolts, bars and parts, and pay double.

Apprentice, white

250
Apprentice, green
10 Favor

Journeyman, white

What fills each crate

The end of a crate's name is its kind, the middle its tier. Any one line of its box fills it.

Craftsman's Writs

Monsters also drop sealed crafting orders. Opening one gives you the order and a quest: craft or buy the named item, then bring it to the customer, whose location appears on your map once the item is in your bags. The reward is reputation and a coin pouch, and you can repeat a given order once per day. Want a different order? Swap it for one of the same tier with a Forger’s Quill, sold by the Uncertified Scribe.
