The WoW Forever briefing
Raids, dungeons, and group-content discussions in WoW Forever.
WoW Forever’s beta celebration runs until October 23 at 19:00 CEST. Expect a farewell, not a preview of standard launch gameplay: Blizzard says some event items and experiences almost certainly won’t be part of the game at launch.
Players looking for both roleplaying and open-world faction conflict will have a dedicated ruleset at launch. It joins a system where grouping and character creation depend on which ruleset you choose.
From Ironforge’s underground halls to a titan facility above Un’Goro, WoW Forever’s nine dungeons offer new journeys across both continents.
A Cooking Fire becomes a gathering place for rest, profession benefits and a chance to meet other players on the road.
Barrow Deeps and Hyjal Summit offer new routes and group sizes, while Onyxia’s Lair keeps raiders busy with a faction-specific attunement chain before entry.
Riverglades brings competing factions, a Twilight’s Hammer stronghold and the Bloodmaster’s Ring. Mount Hyjal opens for players to help the Druids of the Talon and enter Barrow Deeps.
The profession notes bring new recipe access alongside a sharp vendor-value change for crafted wands. Here’s what crafters and gatherers should check before changing their routines.
Dungeon kills now award approximately 20% more experience, while lower-level party members are no longer penalized simply because someone else in the group is higher level. The update also tunes Rage, adjusts select class abilities, and resets vendor prices for several items.
From Ironforge’s first Alliance dungeon to a level-30 Wetlands expedition, the new instances pair leveling rewards with different hazards and themes.
WoW Forever’s beta returned after extended maintenance with the City of Dalaran dungeon open for testing and 16 free points to try the Legacy System.
The Tome of Dalaran unlocks an extra boss: Lyn the Ignored. Here’s the route from Shadowfang Keep to the summoning circle.
The five-piece bonus gives casters a chance to bring an Arcane Elemental into combat; the report says it appears to fight for about 20 seconds.
