The Supply Officer in WoW Classic Season of Discovery (SoD) plays a key role in the "Waylaid Supplies" system, offering both utility and a touch of lore:
Where to Find Them:
Each major city in Azeroth has a Supply Officer, located near the Auction House:
Stormwind: Elaine Compton, just to the left of the Auction House door.
Ironforge: Tamelyn Aldridge, by the wooden crates in The Commons.
Darnassus: Marcy Baker, across from the Auction House.
Undercity: Gishah, near the Auction House and Apothecary.
Thunder Bluff: Dokimi, by the wooden crates near the Flight Master.
Orgrimmar: Jornah, by the Auction House stairs.
What They Do:
Turn in Waylaid Supplies: These special drops from creatures and chests around Azeroth can be redeemed for reputation with Durotar Supply and Logistics.
Sell Supplies: You can purchase basic consumables like bandages and water from the Supply Officer.
Activate Supply Shipments: Once you reach "Friendly" reputation with Durotar Supply and Logistics, you can use the "Supply Shipment" quest reward item on the Supply Officer to unlock the Rune of Serpent Spread, a temporary chest engraving for ranged attackers.
Lore Connection:
The Supply Officers represent the Durotar Supply and Logistics faction, responsible for maintaining infrastructure and resource acquisition during the Horde’s expansion in Azeroth.
Completing quests and interacting with them contributes to your reputation with this faction, offering lore tidbits and rewards related to their efforts.
Additional Tips:
Use GatherMate or similar addons to locate Waylaid Supplies more efficiently.
Choose the Waylaid Supply corresponding to your desired stat bonus for the Rune of Serpent Spread.
Keep in mind that while useful, the Rune is a temporary DPS boost and not a permanent solution for maximizing output.
Remember:
The Supply Officer might not be the center of your SoD adventures, but they offer a convenient tool for managing Waylaid Supplies and adding a touch of lore depth to your journey.
So, next time you’re strolling through a major city, be sure to greet the Supply Officer! They might hold the key to unlocking a temporary power boost, contributing to your faction’s efforts, and enriching your SoD experience with a sprinkle of lore.
