Gatehouse Goods Quest: Where to Leave the Crate in Stormwind
Gatehouse Goods is a level 15 quest in Stormwind City in World of Warcraft: Forever (WoW Forever): you carry the Gatehouse Shipment up the stairs inside Trias' Cheese shop in the Trade District and leave it outside the stockroom door, then turn in to Elaine Trias for 270 experience and 2 Dalaran Sharp. Wowhead lists it as Alliance and requiring level 9, as of November 10, 2026.
Quick answer: Go to Trias' Cheese in Stormwind's Trade District and climb the stairs to the second floor. Use the Gatehouse Shipment from your bags to place it beside the locked door, then return to Elaine Trias. Players say you do not need to open or lockpick the door.
Key facts
- Quest: Gatehouse Goods, level 15, requires level 9, not sharable (Wowhead)
- Side: Alliance (Wowhead)
- Start and end: Elaine Trias, Trias' Cheese, Trade District, Stormwind City; about 66.4, 76.6 (Warcraft Wiki)
- Objective: carry the Gatehouse Shipment up the stairs and leave it outside the door
- Reward: 270 experience and 2 Dalaran Sharp
Where do you start Gatehouse Goods?
Wowhead names Elaine Trias as both the start and the end. She is the human cheese vendor behind the counter at Trias' Cheese in the Trade District, about 66.4, 76.6 per the Warcraft Wiki. Wowhead's series box puts the quest after Philmor's Favor, in which Manifest Clerk Philmor gives you a Gatehouse Shipment to bring to the stockroom entrance in Trias' Cheese, so that is the likely route in. Wowhead lists the Gatehouse Shipment as a provided item for this quest too, and MetaForge lists that item as the quest's starter. I could not confirm in game whether Elaine hands it over or it arrives another way.
How do you finish Gatehouse Goods?
The objective on Wowhead reads: carry the Gatehouse Shipment up the stairs in Trias' shop and leave it outside the door. The quest text says the Gatehouse shares a floor with the shop and a guard will collect the crate later.
Player comments on Wowhead describe the mechanics, and they are player reports, not something Wowhead or Blizzard documents:
- Go up the stairs inside the shop. There is a locked door on that floor.
- Right-click the box in your inventory to place it where it is needed.
- One player says to put it right in front of the door, and next to any crate already there if the spot is taken. Two say there is no need to open or lockpick the door.
- Players who read "outside" as outside the building say it means beside the door on the second floor.
What do you get for Gatehouse Goods?
270 experience and 2 Dalaran Sharp, per Wowhead. No gold or gear is listed. Elaine also sells Dalaran Sharp, per the Warcraft Wiki.
What comes before Gatehouse Goods?
Wowhead's series box shows Meal Appeal, then Philmor's Favor, Yelmak's Medley or Favorite Food, then Gatehouse Goods. MetaForge's page says Gatehouse Goods follows all three. The data disagrees on side: Philmor's Favor is Alliance in Stormwind, while MetaForge lists Favorite Food and Yelmak's Medley as Horde-only quests in Orgrimmar, and Wowhead lists Gatehouse Goods itself as Alliance. The sources list these Horde quests before an Alliance quest; unexplained, and I could not tell whether it is a real route in or a quirk of how the chain is stored. If the quest does not appear, see the quest stuck fix.
What is not confirmed yet
- How the shipment is obtained: Wowhead says provided; MetaForge lists the item as the starter
- The Horde link: MetaForge and Wowhead's series box include Horde quests before this Alliance quest, unexplained
- Exact coordinates: from the Warcraft Wiki NPC page, which spans several game eras
- Wiki quest page: not checked; the wiki's NPC page only names the quest
How can the Lore Forever add-on and Willo help with Gatehouse Goods?
The free Lore Forever add-on narrates quest stories as you play. It is fan-made, not affiliated with Blizzard, has no internet access, and its narration uses generated voices. Willo can answer a question like "where is the cheese shop" out loud while you play. She is free to start with 50 answers a day and is a separate companion app for Windows 10 or 11 and Apple Silicon Macs (macOS 12 or later), per her page; her FAQ and the Lore Forever FAQ say Windows and Mac. She can be wrong and is not official, so the in-game quest text and the databases are the source of truth.
