Key Takeaways
- The thirteenth community satchel of Secrets of Azeroth sat on Highmountain Peak, the highest point in Highmountain, beside a withered parchment at /way #650 53.4 87.5.
- Its clue came from an official Warcraft Twitter post whose out-of-place capital letters spelled HIGHMOUNTAIN PEAK.
- The satchels were Buried Satchels looted from Loose Dirt Mounds, located with the Tricked-Out Thinking Cap toy's live coordinate readout.
- Roughly 17 satchels existed across Azeroth; finding any 10 earned Community Rumor Mill and the Tobias battle pet.
- The five-satchel tier, Community Rumors, was a checkpoint along the way and granted no pet.
- Secrets of Azeroth is permanent, so the Highmountain satchel and the Tobias pet are still collectable today.
Here is what that thirteenth satchel was, how the community track worked, and what it rewarded.
Where the Thirteenth Satchel Was Hidden
During Secrets of Azeroth, Blizzard drip-fed cryptic clues to the community through the forums and the official Warcraft social accounts. The thirteenth clue arrived as a Twitter post whose deliberately capitalised letters, read in order, spelled out HIGHMOUNTAIN PEAK. That pointed players to the literal summit of Highmountain, the tallest peak in the zone.
The satchel waited at /way #650 53.4 87.5, tucked beside a withered parchment near the top of the mountain. Like every Buried Satchel, it spawned from a Loose Dirt Mound, so the on-screen marker was a small disturbed patch of earth rather than an obvious chest. The blog's older coordinates of 53.3, 87.4 land in the same spot; either set drops you next to the mound.
How the Buried Satchel Hunt Worked
The satchels belonged to the community-rumour side of the event, separate from the daily Whodunnit? clues. Blizzard posted a riddle, the community decoded the rough location, and players then pinpointed the exact mound using the Tricked-Out Thinking Cap, a toy that prints live coordinates as you move. A common trick was to reset bearings at a known nearby satchel and walk toward the new target.
Around 17 satchel locations existed in total. You only needed any 10 of them to finish the headline achievement, so missing one or two never blocked the reward. Each satchel held a little gold and some minor Dragonflight consumables, but the collectibles were the real draw, not the loot inside.
What the Satchels Rewarded
Looting five Buried Satchels completed Community Rumors, the first checkpoint. Reaching ten completed Community Rumor Mill, which awarded Tobias' Leash and taught the Tobias dog battle pet. Tobias was the payoff for the whole satchel track, so the thirteenth satchel was one more step toward that pet for anyone still short of ten.
Collectors who would rather have the satchel achievements and event pets handled can browse our WoW achievement carries instead of decoding every clue by hand.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the thirteenth community satchel?
On Highmountain Peak, the highest point in the Highmountain zone, at /way #650 53.4 87.5, next to a withered parchment. It spawns from a Loose Dirt Mound, so look for disturbed earth at the summit.
How did players find the thirteenth satchel clue?
The clue was an official Warcraft Twitter post with letters capitalised out of place. Reading those capitals in order spelled HIGHMOUNTAIN PEAK, which named the location directly once decoded.
Can I still loot the Buried Satchels today?
Yes. Secrets of Azeroth is a permanent event, not a holiday one. The Loose Dirt Mounds still spawn, so the Highmountain satchel and the rest of the roughly 17 locations remain lootable.
What do the Buried Satchels reward?
Finding five completes Community Rumors and finding ten completes Community Rumor Mill, which grants Tobias' Leash and the Tobias battle pet. The satchels themselves drop only small amounts of gold and minor consumables.
How do I find the satchels without the clues?
Equip the Tricked-Out Thinking Cap toy for a live coordinate readout, then navigate to each known satchel coordinate. Resetting at a nearby satchel and walking to the next one is the fastest way to line up the exact Loose Dirt Mound.
Is the satchel track the same as Whodunnit?
No. The satchels feed Community Rumors and Community Rumor Mill, while Whodunnit? is the daily-clue meta that rewards Pattie's Cap. They ran side by side during the event but are separate achievements.
