WoW Forever Barkskin Burrow Reputation Guide
The Barkskin Burrow is a furbolg tribe in the southwest of Mount Hyjal, the endgame zone of WoW Forever. Its quartermaster sells an 18-slot bag, level 60 weapons, profession recipes and a trinket, and she takes only Deadwood Tribal Beads, a currency that drops in the den of the tribe's enemies. Alliance and Horde can both earn the reputation.
Below, we list all 19 quests with their reputation, show where the beads drop and what the vendor sells at each rank, and say what is still not confirmed about the way to Exalted.

How to Start the Barkskin Burrow Reputation
The Barkskin live in a burrow in the far southwest of Mount Hyjal, around 21, 79, and their enemies, the Deadwood furbolgs, hold Deadwood Den just north of it. You do not start as a friend: two of the quests are simply to reach Neutral and then Friendly. Most quests are for levels 57 and 58 and need level 54, so the reputation fits into your last levels.
A good first quest in the burrow is Meet the Elders from Osi Mistpaw at 21.0, 80.0. It sends you to Elder Mistpaw and Elder Pinespeaker, and the two elders and the furbolgs around them give most of the other quests.

Wowhead marks none of these quests as repeatable and lists no reputation for killing the Deadwood, so it is not confirmed how the reputation continues after the quests. The description of the beads says they can be collected for the Barkskin to earn their trust, which points to a repeatable hand-in, but only the single quest with Brerufa is recorded so far. We will update this guide as soon as players document it.
Deadwood Tribal Beads
Dala Fairmaw sells everything for Deadwood Tribal Beads, not for gold. The beads drop from the Deadwood furbolgs in and around Deadwood Den, from about every second enemy, and they bind when picked up, so you cannot buy them from other players. Six of the quests send you into the den, which means that you collect most of the beads while you quest.
Everything on the vendor costs 135 beads in total, and nobody needs all of it. The bag is 15, a weapon is 10 or 20, and the trinket is 25. Remember that Beads for Brerufa also takes 8 of them.
Barkskin Burrow Rewards
Dala Fairmaw stands in the burrow at 21.0, 78.6. The standing for each item is written in its tooltip. The vendor list on Wowhead shows none, which is why some lists say her goods need no reputation.

|---|---|---|---|
| Recipe: Sweetpaw Jam | Friendly | 5 | Cooking 275. Food that gives 15% movement speed in Hyjal and 5% more experience from kills for 15 minutes |

The Barkskin Satchel is the second 18-slot bag of the zone next to the one from the mail quests, and the other sources are in our WoW Forever bag guide. The Defender of the Barkskin forms a two-piece set with the Defender of the Timbermaw, the Exalted trinket of the classic furbolg reputation in Felwood. With both equipped, your attacks can give 40 attack power and your healing spells 20 Intellect for 15 seconds. How to earn the second trinket is in our Timbermaw Hold reputation guide.
Tips for the Barkskin Burrow Reputation
- Take all Deadwood quests at once. Six quests send you into Deadwood Den, and every kill there can also drop beads for the vendor.
- Keep the beads. You need 15 for the bag at Honored and 25 for the trinket at Exalted, and they come from the same enemies as the quests.
- Look up for the moss. The Moonveil Moss for Barkbound Blessings grows on tree trunks, so you will not see it on the ground.
- Do the other reputation of the mountain on the same trip. The druids at the summit camp decide how much crafted tier gear you can wear: see our Guardians of Hyjal reputation guide.
- Collect the other rewards of the zone on the way. The mail quests give an 18-slot bag and a speed trinket: see our Top of the Post guide.
If you still need the levels for Mount Hyjal, our WoW Forever power leveling takes the character to 60 for you.
