UNKNOWNS BOARD

What nobody has shown yet.

Blizzard is hiding item stats until they drop and publishing no dungeon journal at first, so much of WoW Forever will be learned by playing it. These are the open questions, what has been said so far, and where sources disagree. For acknowledged bugs, see the official known issues summary ↗

Open questions

Sources checked November 9, 2026

  1. Which bosses and loot are in the December raids?

    Not announced

    Blizzard's October 20 raid overview gives eight bosses for Barrow Deeps (10 players) and 13 for Hyjal Summit (20), and describes Onyxia as a three-phase fight (40). It names no other bosses and lists no loot. Method quotes Josh Greenfield saying players won't know the raid bosses until they first go in.

  2. What time do the raids unlock on December 9?

    Not announced

    Blizzard gives the date only. No unlock hour or regional schedule is published yet.

  3. When does Hardcore arrive?

    Not announced

    Blizzard says Hardcore comes after launch as a fully separate ruleset, and a character that dies can move to another ruleset. Twelve Hardcore-only Legacy challenges are planned for its launch. No date is published.

  4. What will a talent re-spec cost at launch?

    Not announced

    Blizzard calls the beta's cheap re-spec temporary. It told TechRadar (October 10) that at launch the re-spec price will climb quickly and only come down once a week, and that Legacy talents might get more re-spec flexibility later. Exact launch prices aren't announced.

  5. Can Forever combat logs be uploaded to Warcraft Logs?

    Not announced

    The Vigil guild tool says it recognises Forever combat logs (v0.4.3, September 30). We found no Warcraft Logs statement about Forever.

  6. How do hidden item stats get revealed?

    One report

    Method quotes Josh Greenfield saying all items are obfuscated, so stats stay hidden until an item drops. Method adds that a drop for someone on your server also reveals it. Blizzard has not published the rule in a news post.

  7. Will Forever have arenas or rated battlegrounds?

    Not announced

    Blizzard's October 7 PvP progression article covers Honor, ranks, seasons and battlegrounds and doesn't mention arenas or rated PvP. The roadmap lists PvP season refreshes for spring and summer 2027.

  8. At what level will dual spec unlock at launch?

    Not announced

    Dual spec is in Forever. Josh Greenfield said on the official podcast (episode 3, week of October 8) that it currently unlocks at level 40 and the team is discussing the right level, maybe 30 (Wowhead report). Blizzard also told TechRadar (October 10) it has no plans to go beyond two specs.

  9. Will Forever get player housing?

    Not announced

    Lead game designer Tim Jones told Windows Central (September 22) he'd love to bring player housing into the Classic world some day, perhaps tied to camping. Blizzard hasn't announced it. The housing decor in Forever packs is for Modern WoW housing and needs Midnight.

  10. Will Forever go to Northrend or Pandaria?

    Not announced

    Executive producer Holly Longdale told the creator JackedIQ at PAX Australia that nothing is off the table, but she expects Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor to keep evolving, with the focus on story rather than more places (Icy Veins report, October 11). Blizzard told TechRadar (October 11) it may one day visit places from later expansions, but as Forever's own versions. Nothing is announced.

  11. What is the Bloody Map from the Wetlands excavation site for?

    Not announced

    Players on the EU beta forum report a Bloody Map quest reward from Excavation Site: Wetlands, covered in dwarven writing. Nobody has shown a use for it yet, and Blizzard hasn't commented.

  12. Will racial abilities change before launch?

    Not announced

    Josh Greenfield said on the official podcast (episode 3) the team is weighing whether Orc and Troll active racials are a little too strong, and whether weapon-skill racials should stay or be replaced. Wowhead expects changes in the next beta update.

  13. Do heals really do less on party members above your level?

    Not announced

    EU players report it since early beta: a level 21 Priest's heals landed smaller on a level 22 tank in a thread still active October 12. Blizzard hasn't listed it as a known issue or said whether it's intended.

  14. Will the Kyle questline return to Mulgore?

    Not announced

    Players asked for the old Kyle questline in Mulgore. Blizzard's Kaivax answered on September 28: "We're working on it. Stay tuned!" No date or details since.

  15. Is one of the new dungeons a Blackrock Depths–sized mega dungeon?

    Not announced

    When a player asked for "a good BRD-like mega dungeon", Josh Greenfield replied "Hold our beer(s)" on September 27. He didn't say which dungeon; Wowhead guesses Blackmaw Hold (levels 55–60).

  16. Can Skyborne on opposite factions understand each other?

    One report

    A player screenshot from September 28 showed a Horde and an Alliance Skyborne both chatting in Darnassian, which every Skyborne can select (Wowhead report). Blizzard hasn't said whether that's intended, and later builds may have changed it.

  17. Can one-handed weapons still sheathe on your back with transmog?

    Not announced

    Since October 8, players in four forum threads say the transmogrifier no longer lets one-handed weapons sheathe on the back. Some guess it was pulled because players with Transmog turned off still saw it; that's unproven. Blizzard hasn't said whether it's a bug or intended, and the October 8 development notes don't mention it.

  18. How many characters can each account have?

    Not announced

    Not announced. Clay Stone told the creator Fiamma at PAX Australia that the number isn't ready to share and that technical limits rule out an unlimited count (Icy Veins report, October 12). Separately, Blizzard says eligible upgrades let you create up to three characters during name reservations, October 27–November 3.

  19. Will Forever have daily or weekly quests?

    Not announced

    Kingy hasn't found a Blizzard announcement of daily quests. Blizzard's October 7 PvP article does describe seasonal weekly tasks that grant Honor and Rank Points; three of them also award Legacy points. On the forums, players are debating whether more repeatable quests should come.

  20. Will Forever add new classes, such as Death Knight or Monk?

    Not announced

    Nothing is announced. Forever launches with the nine original classes, which Blizzard's Legacy challenges count on, and Kingy found no Blizzard statement about adding more. Players keep asking for Death Knights and Monks on the forums.

  21. Can addons read combat data in Forever?

    One report

    One addon author says Forever follows modern WoW's addon rules: addons can't read the combat log during play, and values such as health, power and auras can be hidden in combat (WombatLog's CurseForge page, updated October 12). Blizzard hasn't published Forever's addon rules. Writing a combat log file for upload is a separate question.

  22. Will Blizzard publish notes for the class changes players are discussing since October 30?

    Not announced

    Forum players are debating class and talent changes dated October 30. One credits a change-tracking website and EU thread titles call them data mining. Blizzard has posted no notes for them as of October 31. Kingy doesn't use datamined data, so its class pages leave them out until Blizzard or the live game shows them.

  23. How is Taldramir, the Whispering Wood, Forever's first legendary, obtained, and what does it do?

    Not announced

    Blizzard's November 5 "Forging Forever" video names World of Warcraft: Forever's first legendary, Taldramir, the Whispering Wood, which it says was forged by Wētā. Blizzard has published no source, drop, quest, stats or date for it; the first raids open December 9. Kingy lists only what Blizzard states and uses no datamined data.

  24. Why don't Pouch of Violet Dust Twitch drops reach some players, and is Blizzard fixing it?

    Not announced

    About 14 players in one US forum thread (November 6 to 8) say the drop shows as claimed but isn't in their Toys, or that Twitch won't let them claim it; that problem is now a Stuck Radar card. Blizzard hasn't said why, or whether a fix is coming.
