Timbermaw Hold: Furbolg Reputation and Rewards
Vanilla WoW Classic 1.12 · x5 realm · wowx5.ruTimbermaw Hold is a neutral faction of friendly furbolgs controlling the underground tunnels between Felwood, Moonglade and Winterspring. The reputation is valued for convenient zone passages, useful enchants, recipes and items, and as one of the "long" grinds for collectors and profession lovers.
Why the Reputation Matters
Main reasons to grind Timbermaw Hold:
- Tunnel passage without aggro from hostile furbolgs (Felwood ↔ Moonglade ↔ Winterspring).
- Shoulder enchant and other vendor bonuses at Honored/Revered.
- Recipes and reagents for professions (leatherworkers, enchanters).
- Level 60 items and consumables at Exalted.
How to Grind the Reputation
| Source | Reputation |
|---|---|
| Killing hostile furbolgs (Deadwood, Winterfall) | main grind |
| Turning in Deadwood Headdress Feather | in batches |
| Turning in Winterfall Spirit Beads | in batches |
| Repeatable quests at the tunnel entrances | steady flow |
The key method is farming hostile furbolgs in Felwood (Deadwood camps) and Winterspring (Winterfall), then turning in feathers and beads at repeatable quests. It is a long but predictable grind.
Location
The central Timbermaw Hold tunnel connects northern Felwood to Moonglade; a second entrance leads to Winterspring. Friendly vendor NPCs and quest givers stand inside the tunnel.
Levels and Rewards

Tips for x5
On x5 furbolgs grant the same reputation per kill but die faster — the grind is noticeably shorter than on classic rates. Combine farming with leveling professions: Felwood herbs and hides turn in along the way. For enchanters the Honored shoulder enchant is especially valuable.
Faction Lore
The Timbermaw are the one furbolg tribe that resisted the Fel corruption that consumed their kin in Felwood and Winterspring. The friendly Timbermaw guard the sacred tunnels and revere the Cenarion Circle druids of neighboring Moonglade. The hostile Deadwood and Winterfall are their fallen brethren, given over to demonic rage; by slaying them and cleansing the land, a player proves loyalty to the tribe and earns its trust.
Starting Checklist
1. Find the tunnel entrance in northern Felwood and pick up the intro quests from the friendly furbolgs. 2. Start farming the Deadwood camps in Felwood — they drop feathers for turn-ins. 3. Around mid-Honored, move to Winterspring and farm Winterfall, turning in spirit beads. 4. At Revered the shoulder enchant unlocks; push to Exalted for the best rewards.
