World of Warcraft: Forever Movement Speed and 18-Slot Bag Guide: How to Get the Hyjal Postal Clasp (+5% Speed), Hyjal Postal Satchel, and Nifty Stopwatch
In World of Warcraft: Forever, traveling across continents quickly eats up dozens of hours of playtime, while every single free inventory slot is worth its weight in gold during high-level farming sessions. While classic Azeroth requires long treks on foot and on horseback, this Classic+ experience hides a short questline at the top of Mount Hyjal that simultaneously rewards a free 18-slot bag and an exclusive trinket granting a permanent +5% movement and swimming speed bonus.
Whether you are already pushing into endgame zones or crossing contested territories where Blizzard recently lowered layer population caps in World of Warcraft: Forever PvP zones, here is the complete step-by-step walkthrough with exact coordinates to unlock the Hyjal Postal Clasp, the Hyjal Postal Satchel, the Nifty Stopwatch (+40% sprint), and the full +9% mounted speed stack.
1. The Secret WoW: Forever Questline: Hyjal Postal Clasp (+5% Speed) and 18-Slot Satchel
Unlike Mooncloth Bags (16 slots) or Bottomless Bags that cost a small fortune on the Auction House, the postal delivery chain added in World of Warcraft: Forever does not cost a single copper coin. Available starting around levels 56 to 58, the entire chain takes roughly twenty minutes between Mount Hyjal and Winterspring and awards two Bind-on-Pickup items at once:
- Hyjal Postal Satchel: A completely free 18-slot container, saving you dozens of gold ahead of your first level 60 dungeon and raid lockouts.
- Hyjal Postal Clasp: An exclusive WoW: Forever utility trinket that permanently increases your running and swimming speed by +5% while equipped, along with minor elemental resistances for open-world survival.
All 3 Steps of the "Mending Communications" Quest Chain
- Step 1: Mending Communications: Travel up to the summit encampment in the new Mount Hyjal zone and speak with Sebelia at coordinates
/way 70.8 51.4. Cut off from regular supply lines on the slopes of the World Tree, she asks you to head down and check on the goblin postal relay in Winterspring. - Step 2: Unfrozen Deliveries: Ride down to the neutral town of Everlook in Winterspring and talk to Innkeeper Vizzie inside the inn at coordinates
/way 61.2 38.8. She explains that the mail carriers were ambushed in the snow. Head into the snowy hills north and south of Everlook (especially around the Ice Thistle Yeti caves) to loot the 4 Missing Mail letters scattered on the ground. - Step 3: Top of the Post: Return the four recovered letters to Innkeeper Vizzie in Everlook (
/way 61.2 38.8), then ride back up to the summit of Mount Hyjal and deliver the final bundle to Sebelia (/way 70.8 51.4). Completing this step rewards both the Hyjal Postal Satchel (18-slot bag) and the Hyjal Postal Clasp (+5% permanent speed trinket).
2. The Level 40 Sprint Trinket: How to Unlock the Nifty Stopwatch (+40% Speed for 10s)
Long before you set foot in Mount Hyjal, every character in World of Warcraft: Forever should pick up the classic Nifty Stopwatch at level 40. This on-use trinket (30-minute cooldown) triggers a +40% movement speed sprint for 10 seconds, which is a lifesaver in open-world PvP or dungeon emergencies, especially for classes lacking built-in mobility such as Paladins, Priests, Warlocks, and Warriors.
The Shopping List to Buy on the Auction House BEFORE Heading to the Badlands
The quest chain is offered by the gnome Lotwil Veriatus and his assistant Lucien Tosselwrench on the western edge of the Badlands at coordinates /way 25.8 44.8 (just south of the Kargath outpost). Showing up empty-handed forces you to fly back and forth to a capital city three times. Before boarding your gryphon or wyvern, buy this exact shopping list on the Auction House:
- 1x Frost Oil: Crafted by Alchemists (200 skill, requiring 4x Khadgar's Whisker and 2x Fadeleaf, from a limited-supply recipe sold on the walls of the Alterac Mountains by the goblin vendor Bro'kin). This lets you immediately turn in the quest Coolant Heads Prevail.
- 1x Gyrochronatom: Crafted by Engineers (125 skill, requiring 1x Iron Bar and 1x Gold Power Core). This immediately completes the quest Gyro... What on the spot.
- 1x Moss Agate + 4x Mithril Bars + 90 Silver: Required by Lotwil's assistant Lucien Tosselwrench (
/way 25.8 44.4) during the step Locked Away to forge the elemental shackles.
Fast Badlands Walkthrough
- Complete Study of the Elements: Rock: Speak to Lotwil Veriatus (
/way 25.8 44.8) and clear the three sequential elemental kill quests around the camp, starting with Lesser Rock Elementals (level 37) and finishing with Greater Rock Elementals (level 43) further west and south. - Turn in your pre-bought reagents: Hand your Frost Oil and Gyrochronatom directly to Lotwil, then complete the two short follow-up steps Liquid Stone and Stone Is Better than Cloth with Lucien Tosselwrench before handing over your Moss Agate, 4 Mithril Bars, and 90 Silver for Locked Away.
- Defeat Fam'retor Guardian (This Is Going to Be Hard): Use the shackles right in front of the camp to summon a level 45 elite rock elemental. Defeat it, loot Lotwil's Shackles of Elemental Binding, and turn in the final quest to claim your Nifty Stopwatch.
3. Stacking +9% Mount Speed and Auto-Swap Equipment Macro
While the Hyjal Postal Clasp (+5%) and Nifty Stopwatch (+40%) boost your speed on foot, they do not affect mounted movement. To speed up long rides across Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms, you can stack three classic riding bonuses that combine for +9% mounted speed:
- Carrot on a Stick (+3% mount speed): Trinket awarded by the quest Gahz'rilla from Wizzle Brassbolts at the Mirage Raceway in Thousand Needles (
/way 78.0 77.0). Make sure to grab the Sacred Mallet from the altar atop Jintha'Alor in the Hinterlands first (and convert it at the altar of Shadra'Alor) so you can summon the three-headed hydra inside the Zul'Farrak dungeon. - Mithril Spurs (+4% mount speed): Crafted by Blacksmiths (215 skill) and attached directly to a spare pair of riding boots.
- Enchant Gloves - Riding Skill (+2% mount speed): Applied by an Enchanter (250 skill) onto a spare pair of gloves kept in your new 18-slot Hyjal Postal Satchel.
So you never forget to put your combat armor and your Hyjal Postal Clasp back on when dismounting, pair your riding set with an equipment manager or use this ready-to-copy macro alongside the setups from our World of Warcraft: Forever best addons and universal macros guide (replace the item names with your own gear):

The Strategist's Take
This is the exact kind of hidden quest design that makes World of Warcraft: Forever shine. Where 2004 vanilla forced everyone to bleed gold on the Auction House for 16-slot or 18-slot bags, tucking a free 18-slot satchel and a permanent +5% speed trinket behind a twenty-minute mail run between Mount Hyjal and Everlook directly rewards exploration. Pair the Hyjal Postal Clasp on foot with the Carrot, Spurs, and Riding Gloves on your mount, and you save hours of dead travel time across every level 60 session.
