WoW Forever Satchel of Potions Guide
The Satchel of Potions is a trinket from Excavation Site: Wetlands, one of WoW Forever's new dungeons. Every ten minutes you reach into the bag and get one of four random potion effects: a heal, a mana refill, a burst of speed, or a small fire explosion in your own face. Both factions can get it from a dungeon quest at level 24, though the Alliance gets it for free and the Horde has to choose it over a dagger.
Below you will find what each of the four effects does, the quest for each faction step by step, whether the trinket is worth a slot, and a few unusual uses for it.
What the Satchel of Potions Does
The tooltip only says "Reach into the bag and hope for the best", so here is what players have seen it do. It does not give you potions to keep: it applies the effect at once, as if you had drunk one.
| Possible effect | What it does |
|---|---|
| Healing Potion | Restores 455 to 585 health |
| Restore Mana | Restores 455 to 585 mana |
| Speed | 50% more movement speed for 15 seconds |
| Fire damage | About 215 fire damage to yourself, which can crit |
The trinket has item level 33, needs level 24, binds when picked up and has no stats of its own. Its cooldown is 10 minutes. Each effect seems equally likely, so on average it gives a bit of health and mana, but one use in four hurts you instead.
How to Get the Satchel of Potions
Each faction has one quest that rewards it, both tied to the thicket raptors and a missing ranger in Excavation Site: Wetlands. All quests need level 24.
Alliance: Lost in the Thicket Things and Heartwoven
- Take Lost in the Thicket Things from Caitlin Grassman in Menethil Harbor in the Wetlands, at about 11.8, 58.8.
- Inside Excavation Site: Wetlands, find Ardin Grassman on the platform before the last boss. He gives you Heartwoven.
- Bring the reed-woven heart back to Caitlin Grassman in Menethil Harbor.
Heartwoven gives the Satchel of Potions to everyone, along with a Swiftness Potion and your choice of four Greater Healing Potion or four Mana Potion. Heartwoven cannot be shared, so every player in the group needs the first quest.
Horde: Changing Tastes
- Take Changing Tastes from Borstan, the cooking trainer in the Drag in Orgrimmar, at about 57.4, 53.4.
- Collect four Thicket Raptor Meat from the thicket raptors in Excavation Site: Wetlands.
- Return to Borstan and choose your reward.
The Horde reward is a choice between the Satchel of Potions and the Serrated Raptor Claw, a dagger with Agility and Attack Power. Either way you also get Recipe: Twice-Spiced Raptor Slice and five Twice-Spiced Raptor Slice. Rogues and other dagger users usually take the claw, and everyone else the satchel.

Is the Satchel of Potions Worth It?
As a power trinket, no: it is random, it can hurt you, and the cooldown is long. As a utility trinket for leveling, it is worth carrying, because there are few better trinkets in the 20s, and three of the four outcomes help you.
These tips make it safer to use:
- Use it at full health. The fire damage of about 215 can kill a low-level character, so never press it as an emergency heal.
- Use it between pulls. A heal or mana restore between fights saves drinking time, and the speed helps you reach the next pack.
- Paladins can use it under Divine Shield. The bubble blocks the fire damage, so a Paladin loses nothing on a bad roll.
- Keep it out of PvP. A random self-damage effect is a bad gamble in a duel or a battleground.
Satchel of Potions for the Strahnbrad Mystery Quest
The quest Strahnbrad Mystery asks you to deal fire damage twice near the bellows of the smithy in Strahnbrad. If you are not a fire caster, the satchel's fire explosion counts, so a character with no fire spells can finish the quest with it.
