WoW Forever Durotar Supply and Logistics Reputation Guide
Durotar Supply and Logistics is the Horde trade faction of WoW Forever, and its camp of tents and kodo pens stands just outside the west gate of the Crossroads in The Barrens. Seven vendors there sell 316 recipes, from early armor patterns and smoothies to neck enchants, gliders and the Honored-only gear lines, plus the Reins of the Pack Kodo for Horde players who reach Exalted.
The faction runs on two tracks. Waylaid Crates filled with materials pay Merchant's Favor, the currency every item costs, while reputation comes almost entirely from Craftsman's Writs and decides which recipes you may buy at all. The catalog is identical to the Alliance Azeroth Commerce Authority item for item, apart from the tabard and the signpost toy.
Below you will find the camp and every NPC with coordinates, what each crate pays, how many writs each standing takes, the full recipe list with skill and reputation gates, and the mount, pet, toy and title rewards.
Here are the key facts in one table.
| Detail | Durotar Supply and Logistics |
|---|---|
| Faction | Horde only. Alliance players use the Azeroth Commerce Authority |

Where Is the Durotar Supply and Logistics Camp
The camp stands on the road just outside the west gate of the Crossroads in The Barrens, around /way #17 49.7, 29.4. Some older guides still give 42, 34, but every NPC of the faction stands between 49 and 50 on the X axis, a short walk from the Crossroads flight master.
From Orgrimmar, take the flight to the Crossroads or ride south through Durotar and west over the bridge into the Barrens. From Thunder Bluff the Crossroads is one flight away, and players from Undercity take the zeppelin to Orgrimmar first. The Barrens is Horde territory, so the camp is safe to visit on PvP realms, unlike the Alliance camp in contested Redridge.
The camp sits on the road just west of the Crossroads.
Dokimi takes crate turn-ins at the supply wagon in the middle of the camp.
Durotar Supply and Logistics Vendors and NPCs
The whole camp fits on one screen of the map, so a single stop covers crate turn-ins, recipe shopping and the reward vendors. The table lists every NPC with what they do.
| Role | NPC | Coordinates |
|---|---|---|
| Crate turn-ins and the Shipping Label | Dokimi | /way #17 50.0, 29.2 |
| Pet, toy and tabard | Gishah | /way #17 49.4, 29.4 |
| Pack Kodo | Okamache | /way #17 49.6, 28.8 |
| Uncertified Scribe, useful from Friendly | Kurvelk Shadowhoof | /way #17 49.8, 30.0 |
| Alchemy recipes | Apothecary Durelle | /way #17 49.8, 29.4 |
| Blacksmithing recipes | Gor'mak | /way #17 49.8, 29.6 |
| Cooking recipes | Aza'bek | /way #17 49.6, 29.2 |
| Enchanting recipes | Beneris | /way #17 49.6, 29.8 |
| Engineering recipes | Fizzlefuse | /way #17 49.8, 29.6 |
| Leatherworking recipes | Pawani | /way #17 49.6, 29.6 |
| Tailoring recipes | Jim'bek | /way #17 49.6, 29.4 |
Reports from the first week disagree on whether the camp has its own auctioneer and banker, and players on the Alliance side see those spots change over the day. Bring your crates and materials with you rather than counting on the camp's bank or mailbox.
If you met Dokimi and Gishah in Season of Discovery, those were their old posts in Thunder Bluff and Undercity. In Forever, both stand at this camp in the Barrens.
How Merchant's Favor and Reputation Work Together
Merchant's Favor is the money of the faction: every recipe, the mount, the pet and the tabard have a Favor price, and you earn it by handing filled Waylaid Crates to Dokimi. Reputation with Durotar Supply and Logistics is never spent. It only decides what the vendors agree to sell you, and it comes from Craftsman's Writs, not from crates.
That split catches many crafters out. A player who only fills crates ends up with hundreds of Favor and still cannot buy a single Friendly or Honored recipe, so plan the two tracks side by side from your first visit.
The price of a recipe usually tells you its gate. Recipes at 30 or 45 Favor need no reputation, 60 Favor recipes need Friendly, and 90, 240, 270 and 360 Favor recipes need Honored. Only the 120 and 180 Favor tiers mix Friendly and Honored, so check the vendor before you save for one. Here is what each standing opens.
| Standing | What it unlocks at Durotar Supply and Logistics |
|---|---|
| Neutral | 133 recipes at 30 or 45 Favor and all 6 profession certifications |
| Friendly | 83 more recipes and the Uncertified Scribe's Forged Delivery Receipt |
| Honored | The last 100 recipes, the Advertising License Application and the Forger's Quill |
| Revered | Packmule Treat, which teaches the Minimule pet |
| Exalted | Durotar Supply and Logistics Tabard and Reins of the Pack Kodo |
How to Earn Merchant's Favor at Durotar Supply and Logistics
Waylaid Crates drop from mobs and chests anywhere in Azeroth, and since the November 9 hotfix they drop inside dungeons too. They also sell on the Auction House, where a search for "Waylaid" lists every type, and an empty crate stays tradeable until you fill it. Handing one in takes four steps.
- Get a crate that matches your level. Apprentice and Journeyman crates open at level 10, Expert at 20 and Artisan at 35.
- Right-click it and pick one bundle from its list, for example a stack of Silverleaf for a Waylaid Crate: Apprentice Herbs. One bundle fills the crate; you never need all of them.
- The crate turns into a soulbound sealed crate of the same tier, such as a Sealed Apprentice Crate.
- Hand it to Dokimi at the camp for Merchant's Favor and a few silver.
Your first filled crate also gives a Shipping Label. Take it to Dokimi for a one-time 50 Merchant's Favor, 2,000 reputation and 660 experience: enough Favor for a 30 Favor recipe straight away and two thirds of the way to Friendly. You do not need any profession to fill or hand in a crate, only the materials.
Merchant's Favor per Waylaid Crate
Every tier comes in two colors. White crates take raw materials such as herbs, ore, cloth and curiosities, while green crates take crafted goods such as bolts, ingots and parts and pay twice as much.
| Crate tier | Opens at level | White crate (raw materials) | Green crate (crafted goods) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apprentice | 10 | 5 Favor | 10 Favor |
| Journeyman | 10 | 10 Favor | 20 Favor |
| Expert | 20 | 15 Favor, per player reports | 30 Favor, per player reports |
| Artisan | 35 | Not confirmed yet | Not confirmed yet |
The numbers are the same at both factions. Beta testers saw much higher payouts on the lowest tier, so videos recorded before November 4 overstate what an Apprentice crate is worth. All 30 crate types and the bundles each one accepts are listed in our WoW Forever Merchant's Favor guide.
Cheapest Way to Earn Merchant's Favor on the Horde Side
Crates are easy to buy, so the real question is how much gold one Favor costs you. Add the crate price to the cost of the cheapest bundle, subtract the silver Dokimi pays back, and divide by the Favor. In the first week a Waylaid Crate: Apprentice Herbs filled with Silverleaf came to roughly 50 copper per Favor on busy realms, and a Bruiseweed fill to about 1 silver. Horde prices ran slightly higher than Alliance ones.
Materials you pick up while leveling are the cheapest fill of all. Keep linen, wool, light leather and spare herbs for crates instead of vendoring them, and send crafting crates to an alt or a guildmate who has the bars or bolts.
One bundle is currently broken: crates that ask for 40 Linen Cloth cannot be filled, because a stack holds only 20 and the window takes a single stack. Pick another bundle from the same crate.
If you would rather skip the crate grind, our WoW Forever Merchant's Favor farming service delivers the currency to your character.
Performance Bonus Legacy Talent
Performance Bonus in the Professions Legacy tree gives a 5% chance per rank, up to 15% at rank 3, that a crate turn-in pays double Merchant's Favor. At 15% you need roughly 13% fewer crates. That matters when you save for the 6,000 Favor Pack Kodo or several full recipe lists, but for a few hundred Favor other Legacy talents give more.
Our WoW Forever Legacy Points guide explains how many points you can spend and what else the Professions tree offers.
How to Raise Durotar Supply and Logistics Reputation
After the Shipping Label, reputation comes from Craftsman's Writs: crafting orders from customers spread across both continents. They drop as Sealed Journeyman's Writ, Sealed Expert's Writ and Sealed Artisan's Writ envelopes and also sell on the Auction House. Opening one reveals a specific order, such as Craftsman's Writ: Lesser Wizard's Robe, for an Alchemy, Blacksmithing, Engineering, Leatherworking or Tailoring item. You do not need the profession: an item bought on the Auction House counts the same.
A delivery works like any other quest.
- Open the sealed writ and check which item and how many it asks for.
- Craft the item or buy it.
- Right-click the writ to accept the quest. The customer appears on your map.
- Bring the item to the customer and right-click them, even if no quest marker shows over their head.
Each delivery pays reputation by writ tier plus a Coin Pouch, roughly 25 to 45 silver for a Journeyman order. Writs pay no Merchant's Favor.
| Craftsman's Writ | Reputation per delivery | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Sealed Journeyman's Writ | 75 | Each distinct order once per day |
| Sealed Expert's Writ | 125 | Each distinct order once per day |
| Sealed Artisan's Writ | 200 | Each distinct order once per day |
The daily limit applies to each order, not to writs in general. You can deliver as many different writs a day as you can find, but five copies of the same order still count only once. Some writs also carry a timer of several hours after you accept them, so start the quest only when the item is ready.
How Many Writs Each Standing Takes
The faction uses the standard reputation thresholds, and the Shipping Label covers two thirds of Neutral. The table counts writs of a single tier for each step.
| Step | Reputation needed | Journeyman writs | Expert writs | Artisan writs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Neutral to Friendly | 3,000 (1,000 after the Shipping Label) | 14 | 8 | 5 |
| Friendly to Honored | 6,000 | 80 | 48 | 30 |
| Honored to Revered | 12,000 | 160 | 96 | 60 |
| Revered to Exalted | 21,000 | 280 | 168 | 105 |
Friendly takes a single evening. Honored, which opens the best recipes, needs 94 Journeyman writs after the Shipping Label, so a player who delivers about 30 different orders a day gets there in three days. Exalted for the Pack Kodo is a long-term goal: 42,000 reputation in total. The Diplomat talent in the Resourcefulness Legacy tree adds up to 10% reputation if you plan to go all the way.
Best Writ Turn-In Spots for the Horde
Writ customers cluster in a few hubs, and the closest ones to Horde territory save the most travel. Ziz Fizziks in Stonetalon Mountains takes five different Journeyman orders, worth 375 reputation a day, and the goblins of the Shimmering Flats in Thousand Needles take another five. Both factions can deliver to every customer, so neutral hubs work for the Horde as well.
Price each order before you buy it. A Journeyman writ plus its item should cost under 50 silver in total, and the Coin Pouch returns most of that; Expert orders run around 1 gold and Artisan ones around 2 gold. Sealed writs are usually cheaper than named ones, and you only lose a little control over which item you get.
Turning Spare Favor into Reputation
From Friendly, the Uncertified Scribe Kurvelk Shadowhoof at /way #17 49.8, 30.0 sells two items for 15 Merchant's Favor each.
| Item | Cost | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Forged Delivery Receipt | 15 Merchant's Favor | Turns any empty Waylaid Crate into a Notarized Shipping Container, worth 50 reputation and 1 silver at Dokimi |
| Forger's Quill | 15 Merchant's Favor, Honored | Rewrites an unwanted Craftsman's Writ into a random writ of the same tier |
The receipt works on any crate, so buy the cheapest one on the Auction House. It is slower than writs but has no daily limit and no travel, which makes it a good use for Favor you have no recipe to spend on.
For players who want the Honored recipes without days of deliveries, our WoW Forever Durotar Supply and Logistics reputation boost takes the faction to the standing you need.
Durotar Supply and Logistics Recipes by Profession
Seven vendors sell 316 recipes between them, and every one of them is also on sale at the Azeroth Commerce Authority for the same price and gate. Each table lists the skill the recipe needs, the standing it needs and its price. "None" means you can buy it on your first visit.
Crafted armor and weapons from these recipes bind on pickup, so they gear you and your alts rather than the Auction House. Enchants, consumables and bags are the recipes that sell.
Alchemy, Blacksmithing, Cooking and Enchanting Recipes
Pick a profession to see its vendor and every recipe they sell.
Recipe Vendors
Alchemy Recipes
Apothecary Durelle sells 28 recipes from skill 65 to 300. The cheap end holds leveling elixirs such as Lesser Arcane Elixir and Frenzy Potion, while most of the list, including Caustic Smog Potion and Major Frenzy Potion, needs Honored.
Blacksmithing Recipes
Gor'mak has 64 plans, most of them mail and plate sets for tanks, damage dealers and healers at every level band, plus three blacksmith hammers. Almost half need no reputation at all.
Cooking Recipes
Aza'bek sells six new smoothies for Merchant's Favor and two classic Sagefish recipes for silver. The rest of his stock is ordinary cooking supplies for silver.
| Recipe | Skill | Standing | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Recipe: Venomous Smoothie | 25 | None | 30 Merchant's Favor |
| Recipe: Smoked Sagefish | 80 | None | 5 silver |
| Recipe: Slimy Smoothie | 100 | None | 30 Merchant's Favor |
| Recipe: Mrrggl Smrrthle | 125 | None | 30 Merchant's Favor |
| Recipe: Sagefish Delight | 175 | None | 50 silver |
| Recipe: Calcified Smoothie | 180 | Friendly | 60 Merchant's Favor |
| Recipe: Spicy Smoothie | 200 | Friendly | 60 Merchant's Favor |
| Recipe: Wicked Smoothie | 250 | Honored | 90 Merchant's Favor |
Enchanting Recipes
Beneris has 40 formulas: the Revelation weapon enchant early, necklace enchants at Friendly, and the 2H spell power and healing enchants at Honored. Enchanters gain the most from pushing reputation early.
Engineering, Leatherworking and Tailoring Recipes
The other three vendors sell engineering gadgets, leather and mail armor, and cloth gear and bags.
Recipe Vendors
Engineering Recipes
Fizzlefuse sells 28 schematics for bombs, goggles and gadgets. The Compact Critter Carrier, the SAF-T Disposable Parachute and the Ultralight Goblin Glider all need Honored.
Leatherworking Recipes
Pawani has the longest list, 81 patterns from skill 60 to 250: leather and mail sets for every role plus two armor kits, more than half of them at Neutral or Friendly.
Tailoring Recipes
Jim'bek sells 67 patterns from skill 60 to 235, mostly cloth sets for casters and healers, plus the Mageweave and Runecloth Reagent Bags at Friendly.

Pack Kodo, Minimule and Other Durotar Supply and Logistics Rewards
Beyond recipes, the faction sells four collectibles. Okamache at the north edge of the camp sells the mount, and Gishah handles the pet, the toy and the tabard. Every one of them needs reputation on top of its Favor price.
| Reward | Type | Requirement | Merchant's Favor | Vendor |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Reins of the Pack Kodo | Account-wide mount | Exalted, level 60, Journeyman Riding | 6,000 | Okamache, /way #17 49.6, 28.8 |
| Packmule Treat | Teaches the Minimule pet | Revered | 1,500 | Gishah, /way #17 49.4, 29.4 |
| Advertising License Application | Starts a quest for the Orcish Tradeskill Signpost toy | Honored | 1,200 | Gishah, /way #17 49.4, 29.4 |
| Durotar Supply and Logistics Tabard | Tabard | Exalted | 200 | Gishah, /way #17 49.4, 29.4 |
The Pack Kodo and the Minimule are the same items the Alliance buys, so an account that already owns the kodo from an Alliance character does not need to grind it again on the Horde side. The tabard and the signpost toy are Horde versions.
Okamache sells the Reins of the Pack Kodo beside the kodo pen.
The Pack Kodo, the faction's Exalted mount.
The Pack Kodo alone costs 6,000 Merchant's Favor, as much as 300 green Journeyman crates, and it also needs level 60 and Journeyman Riding even after you reach Exalted. If you want it, start saving early and buy only the recipes you will actually use. Our WoW Forever Pack Kodo service is there for players who would rather skip the grind.
See how the Pack Kodo compares with the other new collectibles in our guide to all WoW Forever mounts and how to get them.
Profession Certifications and Titles
Once a profession reaches 300 skill, its vendor in the camp sells a certification for 1,000 Merchant's Favor, with no reputation needed. Using it unlocks the matching title for every character on your account, though each character needs 300 skill in that profession to display it. Cooking has no certification.
| Profession | Certification (1,000 Merchant's Favor) | Title |
|---|---|---|
| Alchemy | Alchemy Certification | the Alchemist |
| Blacksmithing | Blacksmithing Certification | the Blacksmith |
| Enchanting | Enchanting Certification | the Enchanter |
| Engineering | Engineering Certification | the Engineer |
| Leatherworking | Leatherworking Certification | the Leatherworker |
| Tailoring | Tailoring Certification | the Tailor |
Durotar Supply and Logistics vs the Azeroth Commerce Authority
The two supply factions are mirrors. Of the 338 items on their vendors, 336 share the same item, price, reputation gate and skill requirement, including every recipe, the Pack Kodo, the Minimule and the six certifications. Crate payouts, writ reputation and the Shipping Label bonus are the same too, so switching factions never makes the grind faster or slower.
What changes is the place and a few faction items.
| Detail | Durotar Supply and Logistics | Azeroth Commerce Authority |
|---|---|---|
| Faction | Horde | Alliance |
| Camp | West of the Crossroads, The Barrens (Horde territory) | Three Corners, Redridge Mountains (contested) |
| Crate turn-ins | Dokimi | Marcy Baker |
| Uncertified Scribe | Kurvelk Shadowhoof | Dianne Softstep |
| Tabard | Durotar Supply and Logistics Tabard | Azeroth Commerce Authority Tabard |
| Signpost toy | Orcish Tradeskill Signpost | Dwarven Tradeskill Signpost |
| Nearest writ hubs | Stonetalon Mountains, Thousand Needles | Duskwood, Thousand Needles |
Alliance players and anyone leveling on both sides will find the full Alliance walkthrough in our WoW Forever Azeroth Commerce Authority reputation guide.
Durotar Supply and Logistics Tips
The first week of the faction showed a handful of habits that save both Favor and travel time.
- Fill your first crate the day you hit level 10. The Shipping Label's 2,000 reputation and 50 Favor are the best single reward in the system, and they count for nothing until you claim them.
- Never vendor or delete a Waylaid Crate. Loot crates look like junk at first glance, yet even the ones you cannot fill sell on the Auction House, and empty crate prices are expected to climb as more players chase Favor.
- Fill crates on the character that will spend the Favor. Merchant's Favor stays on the character that earns it, so mail the empty crates and materials over first.
- Decide what you are saving for before you spend. Most crafted gear binds on pickup and is replaced within a few levels, while the Pack Kodo and the certifications cost thousands of Favor.
- Start writs early, even at level 20. Reputation is gated by the daily limit on each order, so a player who delivers a few writs a day while leveling reaches Honored around the time the best recipes become useful.
- Accept a writ's quest only when the item is in your bags. Your quest log fills up fast, and some orders run on a timer once accepted.
- Enchanters and engineers should aim for Honored before 225 skill. Necklace and 2H weapon enchants, the Schematic: Compact Critter Carrier and the glider all sit behind Friendly or Honored, and the first crafters on a realm to have them earn the most.

The Alliance version of this faction, the new recipes that matter most, the profession changes in Forever, the Pack Kodo among the other mounts and the best ways to fund your Favor grind are all covered in the guides below.
WoW Forever Durotar Supply and Logistics FAQ
These are the questions Horde players ask most often about the faction.
Where is Durotar Supply and Logistics in WoW Forever?
Its camp stands just outside the west gate of the Crossroads in The Barrens, around /way #17 49.7, 29.4. Dokimi, who takes crate turn-ins, is at 50.0, 29.2.
Is Durotar Supply and Logistics the same as the Azeroth Commerce Authority?
It is the Horde version of the same system. Both sell the same recipes, mount and pet for the same Favor and reputation; only the tabard, the signpost toy, the NPCs and the camp differ.
How do you get Durotar Supply and Logistics reputation?
Claim the one-time Shipping Label for 2,000 reputation, then deliver Craftsman's Writs: 75 reputation for a Journeyman order, 125 for an Expert one and 200 for an Artisan one. From Friendly, Forged Delivery Receipts add 50 reputation per empty crate.
Do Waylaid Crates give reputation?
No. Filled crates pay Merchant's Favor and a few silver. Reputation comes from the first Shipping Label, writs and Notarized Shipping Containers.
How much Merchant's Favor does each crate give?
White crates pay 5 Favor at Apprentice and 10 at Journeyman, green crates pay double. Players report 15 and 30 for Expert crates, and the Performance Bonus Legacy talent can double any single turn-in.
Do you need a profession to hand in crates or writs?
No. Anyone with the right materials can fill a crate, and an item bought on the Auction House completes a writ just like a crafted one.
How do you get the Pack Kodo as Horde?
Reach Exalted with Durotar Supply and Logistics and buy the Reins of the Pack Kodo from Okamache for 6,000 Merchant's Favor. You also need level 60 and Journeyman Riding, and the mount is account-wide.
Why can't I fill a crate that asks for 40 Linen Cloth?
A stack of Linen Cloth holds 20, and the crate window takes a single stack, so that bundle cannot be completed right now. Choose another bundle in the same crate.
Is Merchant's Favor shared between characters?
No. It stays on the character that hands in the crate, so fill crates on the crafter who will buy the recipes.
