Current edition
Reforged 3.0.1 live again since October 19 (hotfix build 24371) · official release and lore sources checked October 31, 2026 UTC · installed client not yet tested. 24 guides and 34 connected entries. Research checked 31 Oct 2026; article edit dates are recorded separately.
What still needs work
- All four prologue chapters, A Second Chance and Rescue the Forsaken have recorded-gameplay walkthroughs. Apothecarium Supplies and A Light in the Shadow remain partial. The optional-quest index lists 30 quests from community quest-log transcriptions and recorded footage; complete optional routes, quest rewards and the later campaign remain unconfirmed. Talent and item entries transcribe observed tooltips, not tested builds.
- Official release state checked October 31 UTC: 3.0.1 is live again since October 19 (hotfix build 24371). Older footage remains dated evidence; Kingy has not loaded any save version on the current build or retested 3.0.1 balance. Reports of October 7–8 saves failing are player reports. No named Apothecarium Supplies repair is established; the Tirisfal venom location rests on two player reports.
- No firsthand playthrough, measured completion time, hardware benchmark or installed-build test has been performed.
- Strategy and troubleshooting routines are Kingy recommendations. Source links substantiate the surrounding game facts, not independent testing of those routines.
- Retail WoW and Classic lore do not establish Forsaken Kingdom quest outcomes, ability values or unlock requirements.
How updates are reviewed
Sources are linked to the guides that depend on them in Kingy’s review pipeline. A source change requests an editorial review; it does not automatically rewrite the guide or advance its edit date. Automated source checks are separate from a substantive guide review.
