Where do you hand in Waylaid Crates in WoW Forever?

By George In The Meta · 12 Nov 2026

Short answer: on the Alliance, you hand in Waylaid Crates to Marcy Baker, the Inventory Intake, at the Azeroth Commerce Authority camp at Three Corners in Redridge Mountains. Fill the crate first and it becomes a Sealed Apprentice Crate. The Shipping Label on your first crate starts a quest that sends you there. Horde players hand theirs in at a camp just west of the Crossroads in the Barrens.

Where do you hand in Waylaid Crates in WoW Forever?

At Three Corners, the crossroads in the west of Redridge Mountains. I was standing at about 9.7, 70.9 on the Redridge map to hand mine in. Marcy Baker takes the crates and the Shipping Label. The camp also has Elaine Compton, the Contract Coordinator, on top of the crates, and Tamelyn Aldridge, the Supply Officer, who sells what you spend your Favor on.

I handed in the label because I was walking that way anyway.

For the Horde, the Durotar Supply and Logistics camp is just west of the Crossroads in the Barrens, around 49.7, 29.4, and Dokimi takes the crates (foreverchanges.pro). I haven't been there. The same site says both camps sell exactly the same things at the same prices.

How do you fill a Waylaid Crate?

Right-click it and it asks for one stack from a list. You only need one line of the list, not all of them. My two were the Apprentice Ore and Apprentice Textiles crates:

Waylaid Crate: Apprentice Ore: 20 Copper Ore or 20 Tin Ore
Waylaid Crate: Apprentice Textiles: 40 Linen Cloth or 20 Light Leather

Both need level 10. I filled them with 20 Copper and 20 Light Leather, which I had anyway from Mining and Skinning. Once it's filled, it becomes a Sealed Apprentice Crate. That's soulbound, has no vendor value, and its tooltip says to deliver it to your faction's trade representative.

Where do Waylaid Crates drop?

Both of mine dropped from Defias in Westfall on 11 November, one from a Defias Highwayman and one from a Defias Pathstalker. They were both dropped with each other, basically, in the same session.

They're rare. The same fan site says ordinary monsters from roughly level 7 to 26 sometimes drop them, most players find one to three on the way to level 20, and crates can be traded, so the Auction House is the quickest way to get more.

What is the Shipping Label quest?

When you fill your first crate, you get a Shipping Label. It begins a quest, also called Shipping Label: deliver it to someone at the Azeroth Commerce Authority trade hub in Redridge Mountains. The label's text says to return crates to "our local trade hub at the Three Corners crossroads in Redridge Mountains". The quest pays 650 XP and 50 Merchant's Favor.

How much Merchant's Favor does a crate give?

Five, plus 2 silver 50 copper, for each sealed Apprentice crate. Marcy calls the turn-in "A Sealed Crate". With the label's 50, my two crates came to 60 Favor.

What can you buy with Merchant's Favor?

Tamelyn Aldridge's first page:

Item	Favor	What it is
Azeroth Commerce Authority Tabard	200	The camp's tabard
Advertising License Application	1,200	Starts a short quest that leads to a toy
Packmule Treat	1,500	A pet

WoW Forever: Tamelyn Aldridge, Supply Officer, selling the Advertising License Application for 1,200 Favor, the Azeroth Commerce Authority Tabard for 200 and the Packmule Treat for 1,500 — Tamelyn Aldridge's Favor items, with my 60 Favor at the bottom. Tap to enlarge.

Going by the same fan site, the Packmule Treat gives the Minimule pet, the license needs Honored with the camp, the tabard needs Exalted plus 5 gold, and a Pack Kodo mount costs 6,000 Favor at level 60 with Journeyman Riding.

Who else sells things at Three Corners?

Every other vendor at the camp sells recipes for Favor, one per profession. I went through every page of every one of them, and every recipe and its price has its own page:

Vendor	Profession	What they sell	Favor
Alynsia	Enchanting	41 formulas	45 to 240
Nina Surefire	Alchemy	29 recipes	45 to 240
Kalsey Sanden	Cooking (Chef)	6 smoothie recipes, plus recipes and supplies for coin	30 to 90
Daniel Stitchsong	Leatherworking	82 patterns	30 to 90
Mivin Shadowweave	Tailoring	68 patterns	30 to 90
Fritz Fizzle	Engineering	27 schematics	45 to 360
Stondry Darkhammer	Blacksmithing	65 plans, plus repairs	30 to 120

All of them except the chef also sell a Certification for their profession at 1,000 Favor. The cheapest recipes at the camp are 30 Favor, so my 60 covers two of them. Almost everything showed in red for me, which means I can't use it yet. The only recipes I could learn were two of the chef's 30-Favor smoothies, Venomous and Slimy, and Smoked Sagefish, which he sells for coin.

The Uninspected Shipment there is just a bank.

Are Waylaid Crates worth it?

Before I handed them in, I actually didn't think either of them was going to be worth the Favor, but we'll see. After seeing the vendor, it's a lot. I've got 60, and the license needs 1,200. Crazy, man.

At 5 Favor a crate, the 1,140 Favor I'm still short of the license is 228 more Apprentice crates.
