What you can use today

This edition covers access, launch timing, name reservations, friend passes, announced character choices, zones, dungeons, raids and system changes. 27 guides connect to 25 quick answers, an access comparison, a saved preparation checklist, a calendar download and 26 reference entries. The 9 class profiles connect to a saved comparison shortlist.

Quest walkthroughs, leveling routes, talent builds, raid strategies and loot tables need evidence from a playable Forever build.

Three beta articles to keep together

• Access, codes and installation covers entitlement checks, current dates, friend-code boundaries, Blizzard’s installation steps and dated known issues.
• Servers, rulesets, regions and grouping owns the realmless model, same-ruleset/faction rule and the open layer questions.
• Beta day one testing checklist owns playable observations for classes, quests, dungeons and systems.

New in this release

• October 8: checked current store and Support terms, October 1 beta notes, October 6 priority fixes and October 7 class, PvP and Skyborne articles. At that check, beta was live at cap 30 and launch was scheduled for November 4. Support says beta progress does not carry into launch. Published previews remain separate from independent gameplay tests.
• September 25: reviewed the September 24 development notes and known-issue reply. Filter changes for your character; officially reported fixes remain distinct from independent gameplay tests. The newer numeric build is unconfirmed in the official notes.
• September 25: added the private Name Workshop and naming-policy explainer. No name availability service or enforcement prediction is claimed.
• September 25: added the Adventure Planner, a private session journal, two supported quest cases and a healer preparation guide. Class matching describes preferences, and session timings are player budgets rather than measured routes.
• September 19: added beta changes and known issues, a homepage status panel and Druid armor test notes. Official issue reports retain their dates and unknown client builds; the comparison procedure awaits gameplay evidence.
• September 19: added Blizzard’s GPU compatibility guidance and a partial Ruins of Lordaeron pilot with attributed encounter and item reports. No independent dungeon run or complete loot inventory is claimed. Official-news discovery now requests review of new posts.
• September 19: expanded the friend-code and beta-installation guides with delivery dates, redemption limits, official Windows/Mac specifications and symptom-based checks. Linux setup and force-install workarounds remain unconfirmed. Added Blizzard’s requirements and launch-client articles to source monitoring.
• September 19: checked Blizzard’s beta opening instructions and September 18 known issues. Updated the initial cap to level 20, week-one dungeon ranges and October 21 testing guidance. Older sources retain their original check dates.
• Use the access guide, grouping guide and testing checklist as the shared beta update path.
• Paladin mechanics by role, with an original interaction diagram and direct Blizzard sources.
• Named Camping objects compared by profession, plus a diagram separating camp capacity from individual contributions.
• A stat-change comparison and two announced quest-reward examples.
• An appearance-award diagram that separates collecting an appearance from receiving the equipment.

The source ledger

How changes are handled

Each guide section names its sources. When an upstream page changes, its dependent guides, reference entries, search answers and preparation tools need review together. A source change is a review request; it is not evidence that every dependent statement is now correct or incorrect.

Review dates change only after an editor checks the affected content against its evidence. A successful fetch alone does not renew a guide’s review date. Class builds, quest routes and other gameplay advice will carry the tested game version, faction and relevant prerequisites.

Official announcements establish announced plans. Store terms establish edition inclusions for the stated region. Reporting is attributed: for example, the permanent level-60 cap is reported by Wowhead in this edition.

How Forever, Discovered works

Blizzard hides item stats until an item drops and publishes no dungeon journal at first, so much of WoW Forever will be learned by playing it. Every fact on this wiki carries a state that says how much is known:

• Unknown: nobody has shown proof yet. These live on the Unknowns board.
• One report: a single source with proof. It is listed, never used as an instruction.
• Confirmed: a Blizzard statement, or at least two separate players whose reports agree.
• Conflicting reports: sources disagree, and both are shown.
• Changed: a hotfix or patch may have altered it, and it waits for a retest.

The labels Official, Verified and Community-reported still describe the evidence itself. Verified needs a Kingy capture with its build, or three separate player confirmations with build and region.

We never use datamined, leaked or private-server data for Forever, even when others publish it. Blizzard hid this information on purpose; we record only what the game has shown a player.

People play the game. AI agents read Blizzard's posts, player reports and our own captures, cross-check them and keep each fact current. They never play, log in or automate anything, and the site uses no AI images, AI voices or chatbot. Kingy Companion field notes can be shared through the contribution page, where the file is read in your browser; screenshot and combat-log sharing follow once storage is set up. Creators and players can ask us to remove their material through our contact page.

Evidence still needed

• Forever beta client installation steps, tested ruleset-selection screens and reproducible troubleshooting for the current build.
• A tested first-hour route and Skyborne starting experience.
• The complete race/class matrix and build-specific talent and ability data; published third-party previews remain incomplete.
• Zone travel, quest prerequisites, rewards and map locations.
• Legacy challenge requirements and reward thresholds, complete Camping recipes, profession leveling, Honor rewards, tested raid mechanics and loot tables.

The priority is a complete answer to the player’s task. Pages are added when the evidence supports useful instructions.

Beta-day observations should update the testing record first, then the narrow class, quest, dungeon or systems page. Keep access changes in the access guide and layer or friend-placement changes in the grouping guide.

Corrections and contributions

Use the Forever contribution flow to send a private proposal. Keep the page URL, the passage, its source and any relevant game-build details together; these are the details an editor needs to verify a correction. Do not include account credentials or private invitation codes.

Artwork

The homepage uses Blizzard’s painted Forever masthead. The character and zone features use official screenshots; Skyborne imagery is promotional artwork. The site-wide game card retains the cinematic thumbnail. These assets come from the official Forever product page, retrieved September 12, 2026. Images illustrate the game; they do not establish unannounced mechanics. © Blizzard Entertainment. This wiki is independent and is not affiliated with Blizzard.

Screenshot and media gap: there is no per-zone or per-dungeon artwork for the announced destinations, and Blizzard’s roadmap graphic is not embedded on this site. No new Blizzard still images are being added while the applicability of the noncommercial image license remains unconfirmed. Video posters reuse the existing local wow-forever image set; they are illustrations beside the players, not frames from the selected timestamps.

Video and diagram review

Browse the reviewed video library: the gameplay trailer, panel excerpts, reward showcases and the labeled community ranking. Videos use Blizzard’s official World of Warcraft YouTube uploads through the original player and load on request. The panel intervals were checked against its timestamped transcript; controls still allow access to the full recording. Promotional footage is not an independent gameplay test.

The at-a-glance diagrams are original Kingy explanations. They are not in-game maps, screenshots or menu reproductions. No new Blizzard still images were added in this update while applicability of the noncommercial image license remains unconfirmed.

Edition history

September 25, 2026 — names and the next session: Added practical private tools, refreshed the official beta evidence, and integrated search, navigation and page dates. Naming debates are presented without independently unconfirmed accusations. Original gameplay videos and matched historical comparisons still require authenticated captures; the public site contains no empty media players.

September 19, 2026 — beta week one: Added official installation steps, the initial level-20 cap, two week-one dungeon ranges and dated known issues. Updated testing dates and calendar exports. Linked beta setup from the friend-code guide and kept unchanged pages on their existing sitemap dates.

September 15, 2026 — beta publication set: Added canonical access, ruleset/grouping and day-one testing guides. Redirected overlapping beta-access, setup and friends URLs to the new owners, added shared status labels and linked the three-page update path from the beta hub and source ledger.

September 13, 2026 — Skyborne and rewards: Expanded the race guide with its Zephras story and quest-coverage limits. Added Cerulean Prideclaw and named cosmetic guides, reward-specific search results and a homepage feature. New Blizzard still images remain deferred.

September 13, 2026 — Beta preparation and usability: Added a beta preparation sequence with access, setup and character-planning links. Search now reaches specific Paladin roles, camp capacity and appearance rules. Camp comparisons and the appearance diagram take less effort to read on a phone. Official beta terms, the roadmap and relevant Deep Dive rules were rechecked; the beta end-date conflict was unresolved at that review. Blizzard’s October 20 Stress Test notice has since settled it: the beta closed at 10:00 a.m. PDT on October 23. Gameplay instructions still require playable evidence.

September 13, 2026 — Paladin, Camping and equipment: Expanded the Paladin profile by role using the official Deep Dive. Added camp-object and stat comparisons, two quest-reward examples, and three original diagrams. Clarified appearance collection and shortened repeated dungeon caveats. New Blizzard still images remain deferred.

September 13, 2026 — friend-invite update: Added the Invite-A-Friend guide and timeline, with eligibility, delivery and redemption guidance. Updated access and group planning for friends joining with launch-week codes.

September 13, 2026 — systems and dungeon stories: Added the Legacy diagram, four dungeon profiles, three contextual excerpts and four quest-story links. Reviewed Blizzard’s Deep Dive for Legacy caps, Camping, realmless grouping, Transmog, itemization and race/class additions. Preserved earlier demo reports as dated previews.

September 13, 2026 — world and story release: Added four expanded zone features, a new lore introduction, eight original diagrams, the official gameplay trailer and five contextual panel excerpts. Kept the cinematic on the lore guide. New Blizzard still images remained deferred.

September 13, 2026 (UTC), completion update: Expanded Legacy and dungeon coverage, documented optional transmogrification, reviewed all nine class profiles and added attributed talent previews. Added class-shortlist exports, access comparison, grouped world references, search within the wiki and a clearer mobile menu. These additions use reviewed announcements and reporting; they are not independent gameplay tests.

September 12, 2026 — reveal and panel update: Added the official launch hour, four-zone coverage, named dungeons and raids, Skyborne classes, friend-pass terms, setup help and 25 quick answers. Updated the calendar, checklist, mobile layout and source monitoring. The first announcement edition was published earlier the same day.
