THE SITE'S CHRONICLE
wow4ever changelog
What we have added and fixed on the site, newest first.
«My character» across the site: pick your class on the home page (or in My character) and you get your stuff one click away, your class in the header and, in BiS, talents, spells and classes, your class flagged and listed first.
Data from build 1.60.1.70707: Mage trainers no longer teach Frost Blast (Mage guide flagged) and 7 new items to equip. Clearer titles for server status, the name reservation and the launch time.
Data from build 1.60.1.70685 and the October 28 live hotfixes: the Mage gets Accelerant and Precision and loses Arcane Focus (calculator, builds and Mage guide updated), and Hunters lose power on Aspect of the Hawk and Trueshot Aura.
The name reservation guide covers what happened on day one: the delay, the bug that blocked valid names (try again after the realm restart) and the one on Australian servers.
Racials updated with the tuning Blizzard announced on October 26 and 27 for launch (human, dwarf, tauren, orc, troll, undead and Skyborne), in the race pages, the race guide, the Skyborne guide and the class guides.
The name reservation, front and centre: a homepage banner until November 3 and, in its guide, Tuesday step by step (install first, the queue, what to do if your name is taken or you get an error). Fixed: launch is at 3:00 PM PST, midnight on November 5 in Central Europe, not 23:59 CET.
The post-beta guide now opens with Tuesday's name reservation: when it opens in each region, who can join (with an upgrade pack or the Collector's Edition), how to do it and the cap of three characters across all rulesets. Fixed: it said anyone who had bought the game could reserve.
BiS is now level 60: each page opens with the pre-BiS (the best gear before raids) for its class and role, with the character dressed in it, and below a plan of how to get it, grouped by dungeon, quests and profession, with checkboxes to tick what you already have. «While leveling» shows the best at levels 20, 30, 40 and 50. And every role now has its level 60 talent build (51 points).
New: «Server status», for the name reservation and launch: where to check if WoW Forever is down, how the queue works and what to do with each login error, with Blizzard Support's steps. New: WoW Forever achievements from the game client, with which give a Legacy point. In BiS, a preview of level 60 pre-raid gear. The name reservation now has its opening time: Tuesday the 27th at 18:00 CET.
Talent calculator updated with the beta's last-day hotfixes (October 22): the mage Frost tree changes (Piercing Ice is gone) and several classes get new talents for not losing casting time when hit. Saved mage builds will warn you. «The beta ends» now covers how the beta ended and where to see your stats.
Hunter pets: which beasts you can tame, family by family and with how they look, from Blizzard's official game database. With a search by name. Game data updated to beta build 1.60.1.70532. On dungeons and raids, each boss with its portrait and, where there is one, its official description, from Blizzard's dungeon journal.
Four new leveling guides: duo leveling (which class pairs complement each other), tips to level faster, starting professions and making gold, and the Legacy perks that help you level. In addons, ProcDoc (big proc alerts). Also, the site moves to Cloudflare: faster and ready for launch.
Duo levelingLeveling tipsStarting professionsLegacy for leveling
Blizzard adds a fifth ruleset, RP-PvP, for launch: it's now in the rulesets, name reservation and FAQ guides. In the news, the end-of-beta party with Azuregos and Kazzak and Molten Core's new mechanics.
The beta is extended: it closes on Friday, October 23 at 10:00 a.m. PDT, and every guide is updated. The raids guide explains the Onyxia attunement (the Drakefire Amulet, step by step for each faction), which Blizzard published along with the details of the three raids opening December 9.
The duel tournament page now keeps what matters: where to watch it in full, who won (behind a button) and how each class did. Three new addons with a Forever version: GuildMap (your guild on the map), Guidelime (step-by-step leveling guides) and Forever Unit Frames (unit and raid frames).
Duel tournament: the full broadcasts of both days are up (Esfand and Xaryu on Twitch, and the whole finals on YouTube) to watch from the start, and «What you missed», behind a button so nothing is spoiled, has who won, the top player of each class and the finals matches. The name generator now speaks Elvish and Orcish: first and last names built from the words of those tongues that ship with the game.
New guide “Which class to pick in WoW Forever?”: all nine classes explained for newcomers, with the roles each can fill, what it asks of you and who it suits, no “best class”. Every class guide now opens with “Is it for you?”: what you'll like, what maybe not, what it asks of you and how it levels. The quiz becomes “Which WoW Forever class fits you?”: three new questions about how you want to play and, at the end, the three classes that fit you best, each with a race and the reason why. New guide “The beta ends”: the October 21 stress test (19:00 CEST / 2 p.m. PDT, open to any account, wiped afterwards), what happens to your beta characters and what to do until November 4.
Duel tournament: watch it from your class, with the tournament streams grouped by the class their title mentions. Name generator with Spanish or English surnames and funny names whatever the page language, a starting letter and matching initials. A quest search by name, and dungeons, guides, class, race and dungeon pages, community, addons, professions and patch notes reordered so what you look for comes first. The stress test moves to October 21. Data updated to build 1.60.1.70450. A “Music” button in the header plays official Blizzard music, quietly (the Forever soundtrack, the 2004 album, Stormwind, Orgrimmar, the tavern, lo-fi or synthwave), in a small player that keeps going while you browse. One search button on mobile. More Classic characters on the home page and footer. Addons updated: Details!, ThreatClassic2, TomTom, Bartender4, Naowh Forever, ForeverGear, Overlord Forever, the ForeverForge group board and Forever Loot Sparkles join, with new categories (maps, gear and group finder) and every version as of October 17. Two new UIs in UIs: VuloForeverUI and Forever UI. Mounts with their model: 88 of the 108 now show an image of the in-game model (the new Forever ones will follow once the viewer has their models).
The whole site, on the October 15 build 1.60.1.70425: new racials on the race pages (Ruthless, Earth Fury and Savage replace the weapon specializations, and the tauren, skyborne, troll, gnome and undead ones change), mage, priest, shaman and warlock talents in the calculator, spellbook, items and patch notes up to date, and a patch article. The beta census with October 16 data, and the duel tournament with the latest rule details.
Duel tournament rules updated to Raider.IO's latest version: more banned items (rewards above item level 45, profession items needing 226 or more, Deviate Fish, Gnomish Mind Control Cap…), druids count as a stealth class for the opener, Power Word: Shield may be cast beforehand the finals require the Raider.IO app, warlocks can no longer leave the area for shards, and fleeing a duel no longer means automatic disqualification: the referees decide. The beta guide now lists every build up to 70374, the City of Dalaran as playable and the October 19 stress test.
The duel tournament now has a time and a format: qualifiers on Saturday 17 from 12:00 CT (6 Swiss rounds in pods of about 36), and on Sunday 18 the finals with the top 4 of each class in double elimination, best of 3, with a best-of-5 grand final. The time table by country is on the page. In Today and the Blizzard tracker: the 19 October stress test and the Temporary Economy Hold against gold buying.
New guide: WoW Forever class quests, class by class and by level, with who gives each one, the zone and coordinates, and which faction or race it's for. It includes the new Forever ones (undead paladin, dwarf shaman, priest and druid) and answers the most searched questions: how to get Defensive Stance, the warrior's level 30 quest and how the paladin learns to resurrect.
The glossary is now also a name translator: type a spell, item, quest, NPC or place in English or Spanish and get it in the other language, ready to copy (over 18,000 names). And “Hide spoilers” arrives, in news, videos and clips and in the footer: it covers story, secret bosses and, during the duel tournament, its results until you click them. The City of Dalaran guide now explains how to summon its secret boss. Also: a raid roster planner on the raids page (10, 20 or 40 players by class and role, what the raid covers and a link to share it) and Spanish names for over 9,000 Classic items that only showed in English. And every NPC who gives or takes quests now has a page (over 1,300): where they are, with coordinates, and all of their quests.
The item database is reorganised: the numbers up top, a filter panel (name, level, item level, class, quality and stat), categories with their counts and a table that says where each item comes from, obtainable first. Professions gets a new index with a card per profession (what it makes, its camp object and what it pairs with), and every profession with recipes now has the 1 to 300 leveling path worked out using the fewest materials, stretch by stretch, with the full shopping list.
Each role's BiS now shows every list by tree: the mage has Frost, Arcane and Fire (PvE and PvP), the rogue Combat, Assassination, Subtlety and Hemorrhage, and the holy paladin adds the “shockadin”; every talent build carries its tree's name. The upgrade arrow now also shows on dungeon loot and on quest and reputation rewards if you've saved your gear. And the leveling route adapts to your race (quests you can't pick up are gone) and tells you when a quest needs another one from a different zone done first.
“My gear” in the BiS: put what you're wearing on the doll, save it, and every piece tells you whether it's an upgrade and by how much against yours, with the stats you gain and lose, plus a “Your next upgrades” list with where each one comes from. Every item page says it too. And in the leveling route, no quest shows up before you have the level it asks for: if nothing is left that you can pick up in a zone, the route tells you to level up first.
The leveling route is now step by step, from 1 to 60 and by race and faction: in each zone it tells you which quests to accept and from whom, where to complete each one, who to turn them in to and when to use your hearthstone, with coordinates, the next step always in view and marked on the map. Over 5,000 steps computed from the Questie addon's data; it is a calculation, not a hand-tested route, and the page says so. The 1-20, 20-30, 30-40 and 40-60 leveling guides now carry each zone's path too, collapsed per zone.
Classic quests that are still in Forever now have a full page: what it asks, who gives it and where (zone and coordinates), who you turn it in to and which quest comes before and after. Over 2,700 pages. On the leveling route, every quest says who gives it and where, is ordered to walk as little as possible and shows on the zone map. Positions come from the Questie addon's database.
Interactive 1-60 leveling route to keep open while you play. Pick faction, race, class, level and pace, and the route orders zones by the quest experience they give at your level, without needless continent hopping: it shows the level you enter and leave each zone at, which hub to go to, every quest with its experience to tick off, the dungeon that fits, what you train as you level and which zones you can skip. Saved in your browser, and it opens in a small window to sit next to the game.
Spellbook without question marks: values that showed as “?” (Frostbolt damage, rogue finishers per combo point, mana on resurrection, Execute…) are now computed from the client's formulas. Only Contingency Plan is left without a value, because the server computes it. And the “versus Classic” comparison now uses Classic's real values, so several spells move between “Same” and “Changed”.
A page per spell: every trainable spell now has its own page with all ranks, the level you learn it, cost, each rank's text, how it was in Classic, its Spanish name and the macros that use it. Reach it from each class spellbook and from search.
“My character” page: your class, level and faction next to everything you've saved (builds, gear lists, names and your progress with books, Legacy and achievements); “What to do at my level” now starts with your character and updates its level when you change it. And if you run a site or a forum, you can show our item tooltips with one line of code.
A page for every item and every quest. The 16,000+ items in the database now have their own page with the tooltip, where it comes from when known, how it compares to Classic and similar items for the slot; plus the 3,000+ quests that come from Classic, with level, zone, faction, experience and whether Forever changes them. Search and the item list link to each page.
“Your character” on the home page: tell us your class, level and faction once and it keeps what to do at your level, your class guide, talents, gear, macros and spellbook one click away. Saved only in your browser. And every guide now shows the tools that go with it before the text.
The Hall of Thanes, Ruins of Lordaeron and Excavation Site guides now show every item with its icon and in-game tooltip, like the Dalaran guide, which also adds the new set that points to the dungeon. The downrank calculator warns about Blizzard's nerf to low spell ranks. And the Blizzard tracker notes that the GDKP ban only applies to North America and Europe. Data updated to build 1.60.1.70338.
Hall of Thanes guideRuins of Lordaeron guideExcavation Site guideDownrank calculatorBlizzard tracker
Flight path planner on the map: pick a faction and two flight masters and it shows the route, the stops and what each leg costs. New City of Dalaran guide with every boss's tactics and loot. On the launch page, a countdown you can put on your own site. And at the bottom of every data page, the build the data comes from and a button to tell us if something is wrong. Also fixed: the map showed flight points in the opposite faction's colour.
The talent calculator is up to date with the October 8 patch: Predatory Instincts becomes Natural Instinct (and adds healing), Deep Wounds is required again for Impale, Bloodthirst hits harder, Raging Blows changes, Penance is lowered, and Expose Prey, Furor and Reckoning are adjusted. Saved Druid builds warn that the tree changed.
New guide: what to do at level 30 on the beta. This bracket's dungeons, gear, the Darkspear Islands, the 16 Legacy Points to test, professions, books and what to have ready for launch.
New article on the October 8 beta patch: about 20% more dungeon XP, Rage fixed for Warriors and Druids, Penance toned down and every class change. The City of Dalaran is now playable and its page lists its nine encounters. Truthseeker's Bow now requires level 40, and the library books list says so. Game data moves to build 1.60.1.70291.
In Spanish, the Skyborne are now called «cielonatos» across the site (they were «célicos»), matching the Spanish game client and Blizzard's Spanish articles since October 7. The English name, Skyborne, doesn't change.
Two new guides: the Excavation Site in the Wetlands (all 11 quests for both factions, the four bosses and their loot with stats) and the Darkspear Islands (how to win, how to get in and what its reputations sell). The mage, shaman, rogue and warlock guides now cover the official class deep dives Blizzard published on October 7, including what doesn't match the client yet.
PvP updated with Blizzard's official article: Honor also comes from defeating other players (but Rank Points only from battlegrounds and quests, with a weekly cap), the official list of what each of the 14 ranks gives, epic gear with its seal, and the Darkspear Islands battleground with its rules. The world PvP guide, corrected. Skyborne get Standard Definition models in early 2027 (settings guide and Skyborne article updated).
Booty Bay Bruiser's Buckshot guide updated: Blizzard hotfixed out its knockback. The library books list and guide add the 25-book reward (a bow, a shield and a light; only the bow is wearable at level 30). Beta build 1.60.1.70245 is in the patch notes: nothing changes in the client. And in Clips, «Most watched on Twitch»: the clip of the day and the most viewed WoW Forever clips of the day, week and month. Only clips from streams titled WoW Forever (or the $100K tournament) make the list, never the current game. In Live, the «Emerging creators» filter: WoW Forever streams with 3 to 50 viewers, in random order, so creators who are just starting get a place too. Duel tournament updated with Raider.IO's new rules: more banned items (including the library books' Truthseeker's Bow, Student Fodder and Flash Bomb), no leaving the duel area, fleeing means disqualification, transmog off and best-of-3 or best-of-5 finals.
Booty Bay Bruiser's BuckshotLibrary booksPatch notesMost watched on TwitchLiveDuel tournament
Three new sections: mounts (all 108 in the client, with prices next to Classic and which races can ride them; riding training costs 100 and 1,000 gold and your first mount is free), reputations (23 factions, 10 new in Forever, with what each standing gives) and Today in Forever (upcoming dates, this week's Call to Arms, Blizzard notices and where to check if the servers are down). Plus the name reservation guide.
Data updated to beta build 70235. Library books: 37 placed (four new, including the two in the Plaguelands). Rares: 35 in 15 zones, with each one's level. Rogue and mage talent builds now at level 30, and the BiS re-read.
Camp planner rebuilt and moved to Tools: pick the campfire, place one object per player in its slots and see the buffs it gives (and which class buff they don't stack with), the services and workstations, and the materials. On the addons page, the criteria every addon has to meet, in plain sight.
New guide: world PvP. The PvP ruleset, how Honor is earned, contested zones by level and what to do when you get ganked.
New guide: Booty Bay Bruiser's Buckshot, the shotgun that sends your target flying (who sells it, how to raise the reputation and the quartermaster's other rewards). Also, the Cozy Sleeping Bag guide is updated: Student Fodder no longer grants rested experience in Forever. The randomizer gets «Choose between…»: switch off the races or classes you do not want and spin only between the ones you are torn on. And HeadHunter joins the addons page, for world PvP.
Booty Bay shotgunRandomizer: choose between…Cozy Sleeping BagAddons
Pages for every new Forever quest (392, not only the ones with gear) with a by-zone index on /quests; a Blizzard tracker with every statement, change and confirmed bug and its source; a camp planner; community builds with names and votes in the calculator; a 30-40 leveling guide; a «Which class will win the tournament?» vote and the Raider.IO link on the duel tournament page.
Duel tournament: The Forever Open, $100,000 on 17-18 October, with the official rules explained (who can play, format, prizes per class, class rules and what is banned) and where to watch. During the event, on the same page, what you missed. And library books updated: the necklaces drop to Uncommon and the rings to item level 35.
Macro builder: pick class, your client's language and a spell, who it goes to (target, mouseover, focus, yourself or the ground), a stance or form, another spell on Shift, stopcasting, start attack and trinkets, and copy the macro into the game; you can also start from any of our macros. Class macros now come by level (basic, intermediate and advanced) with 84 new advanced ones: shield and weapon swaps with /click, equipment conditions, trinkets and party targeting. 336 in total.
Class macros multiplied: from 4-5 to between 21 and 30 per class (252 in total), grouped by type. Warrior stance dancing, druid forms, rogue stealth, hunter aspects and pet, warlock demons, shaman totems, paladin seals and auras, plus mouseover heals and focus crowd control for every class. And an easier Legacy calculator: with a mouse, the info on hover and one click to add; on mobile, a sheet at the bottom with big buttons.
Guides for all nine classes, rebuilt using how Icy Veins structures its guides as a reference but on a single page per class: each spec with its level 30 talents explained in order (and where to put the 5 Talented points), single-target and multi-target priority, stats and items; plus what interrupts, controls and saves each class with its level, professions and races that fit, consumables and macros. Paladin, Rogue, Shaman, Mage and Warlock are new. And a page for every quest with gear rewards and every item with a known source.
Legacy perk calculator on the Legacy page: spend the 16 points with the beta client's rules (what opens each row, linked perks and what each rank gives) and share your build with a link. Also the full 1-60 leveling guide by faction, every macro inside the macro guide, and the graphics settings guide with anti-aliasing, how to measure your FPS and the GTX 1080.
Two new guides. Legacy points: how to reach 16 with a single character, what each rank of the 21 perks gives according to the beta client, what opens each row of the tree and three example builds (with the client's clarification: Talented moves talent points earlier, but the cap stays at 51). And what to do if your Collector's Edition won't arrive by launch: the digital code comes in the box and Blizzard credits what you buy before as Balance. Also beta build 1.60.1.70205, with no changes to client data.
The role builds in the calculator and the BiS move to level 30 for 25 of the 37 (the rest stay at 20 until there are level 30 ones). They have 26 points, not 21: they count the Legacy perk Talented, which gives talent points 5 levels earlier, and the calculator says so next to the level.
Much fuller class guides: a level 30 talent build for every tree that loads in the calculator in one click, each class's useful macros and the items worth chasing with their source. And three beta updates: Savory Whimsyfin Delight now turns you into a ninja or a pirate (the murloc and ogre were placeholders), the library's Field Researcher's Loop is open to every class and Eureka! no longer applies to periodic effects.
Two more class guides: the druid (forms that no longer punish you, Shifting Power, Eclipse and Wild Growth) and the priest (Fear Ward for every race, Penance, Binding Heal and the new Shadowform). The druid talent Primal Bite shows its official Spanish name again in the calculator.
The first two class guides: how the warrior plays (the new rage, Arms, Fury and Protection) and the hunter (the pet that scales with your gear, Lone Wolf and melee Survival), with what you learn from 1 to 40, which stats to look for and how to level.
Three new guides for newcomers: how to start in WoW Forever step by step, whether it is free or paid (subscription, editions and prices) and what works on controller, Mac, Steam Deck and console. The FAQ now says there is a Mac client.
How to startPrice and subscriptionController, Mac and Steam Deck
Two new articles: the October 1 beta patch explained (level 30, the Excavation Site, less dungeon XP, the reworked Fury warrior and every class change) and the 20-30 leveling guide by faction, with zones, dungeons and the new quests that give gear.
The beta goes to level 30 and so does the site (build 1.60.1.70170). Talent calculator with the October 1 changes (Druid Shifting Power, Mage Heating Up, Warrior Furious Precision and Gore Drinker, among others; saved Druid, Hunter, Mage, Warlock and Warrior builds show a warning). Level 30 BiS with the reference's new list, and the item database, spellbook, recipes, hunter pets and dungeon loot regenerated from the new client, patch notes with build 70170 and Blizzard's official notes, and the Excavation Site page, now playable (26-31) with its four bosses.
New section: UI layouts. A library of WoW Forever UIs: 14 from the community linked to the page where their author published them (Edit Mode layouts, EllesmereUI profiles and packs like ClassicUI Forever, ForeverUI or DaylightUI), plus how to share and import a layout step by step. To send yours, the guild board has a «My UI» option.
Dungeons: below the new ones, a card for every Classic dungeon and raid with its level, bosses and best loot, and the in-game tooltip on every item (also in «All dungeons by level»). Addons: a new dungeon loot category with AtlasLoot Classic Forever and Forever Atlas. And shorter titles across the site so Google doesn't cut them.
New article: Blizzard has started explaining class by class what changes in WoW Forever. We sum up the first two deep dives (Hunter, Druid, Priest and Warrior), and the feed covers the beta going up to level 30.
Community: beta census. Two addon-based censuses (MarketLens and ClassicPlus) show which races, classes and faction are seen in the game. Since they disagree, we show both with their method and work out where they say the same thing, next to what people say they want to play.
Beta builds 70058 and 70124 checked: their client data (spells, talents and items) is identical to 70009, so this week's changes are server-side. Settings guide corrected: on September 24 Blizzard removed the command that turned the fog off. And Savory Whimsyfin Delight now has an answer: it turns you into a Murloc or an Ogre depending on your body type.
Library books checklist: all 34 books with their coordinates and a piece of their zone map with the spot marked. Tick them as you collect them (saved in your browser), filter by the ones obtainable in the beta or the ones you're missing, and it tells you how many are left for the necklace and the ring.
New guide: how your hunter pet learns abilities. In Forever, as in Classic, you tame beasts that already know each ability and teach it with Beast Training; with what each family can learn and what changed in the beta. Summary on the hunter pets page too.
Ruins of Lordaeron guide: all 9 Horde and Alliance quests and where to get them, the 6 bosses (done in any order) with each one's loot and stats, and which group to bring. The dungeon page goes from 3 to 6 bosses and gains the missing quest, A Frightened Request.
Profession shopping list: on each profession page, enter your skill and the one you want to reach, and it tells you which recipe to make at each stage, how many times and what to buy, plus the camp objects you unlock along the way. We also fixed the recipe colours: the first coloured number was the yellow tier and we showed it as green; now all four are shown (orange, yellow, green and grey).
Macros for all 9 classes: every class page has four or five useful macros ready to copy, with spell names exactly as the game has them and the level each one works from. Plus a beginner's guide: what a macro is, how to make one and what each piece means.
New tool “What to do at my level”: enter your level, class and faction and it tells you which zones fit, which dungeons to run, which new quests give gear, which spells you train and how many talent points you have. A complete guide to The Hall of Thanes, with its 5 quests, the 4 bosses one by one and their loot. And addons brought up to date: official Questie now works in Forever, ForeverAuras as a WeakAuras replacement and the new versions of Leatrix, DBM, BigWigs and co, plus EllesmereUI, a full interface styled like Forever's.
The name generator now turns your own name or nickname into each race's style: type “Andoni” and you get Anak, Andolune or Andorah, with a matching surname. What you type never leaves your browser.
A Hardcore guide with everything Blizzard has confirmed, the beta guide brought up to date (what you can play now, the builds and when it goes to 30), the randomizer now pointing to your class BiS and the leveling guide when it lands, a daily-roll streak, achievements that tell you how to earn them, a note of what's new since your last visit and an RSS feed to follow the site.
A 1-20 leveling guide by race (zones, dungeons and new gear quests), an English-Spanish glossary of 782 game terms, a group planner on the dungeons page (roles, what your group can dispel or crowd control at your level and which dungeons fit), PvP items with their full tooltip, and the BiS button fixed on mobile.
Zone maps now show as explored, with every place name and the game's own icons (rares with their silver dragon); the BiS shows each class's character; and a new article: the singing frog of Zephras Isle, a Zelda nod, and how to get the Musical Gustjumper.
New: the map of Azeroth, with the game's own map art. Hover a continent and the zone lights up with its silhouette and faction colour; filter by level or faction and go into any zone to see towns, flight points, dungeon and raid entrances, rares and library books. And the BiS mannequin now dresses up: every piece is drawn on the body with its texture and quality colour.
Two new guides: WoW Forever rares (32 placed with coordinates, drops and which ones you can tame) and the library books (all 35, where each one is and the rewards for 10 and 20 books). The data is player-reported, collected by the community reference, and will be updated.
BiS, corrected against the community reference: at level 20, the beta cap, nothing asks for more; every piece says where it comes from (boss, quest with its faction and level, rare or recipe), 13 roles get a PvP list and hovering any item shows its tooltip. The item database now has all of Classic plus what Forever adds or changes (15,980 items), professions gain 247 Classic recipes and every class calculator carries the builds by role.
BiS, rebuilt: class row, your roles as tabs, Alliance or Horde, an enchant under every piece, stats in blocks and, slot by slot, the five pieces that add up the most with their source (recipe and reagents, boss or quest). Press a slot to put in any piece, with search and filters for level and cloth, leather, mail or plate. And a page for every profession with all its recipes.
BiS for every class and role: a paper doll like the in-game character sheet with the gear that helps your role most at the level you pick, worked out from the client's item database with the weights in plain sight. Press a slot to try other pieces, save your list and share it. With each role's talents ready to edit. Also: the spellbook is browsed like in game, patch notes include Blizzard's official notes and items show they can be expanded.
Two new guides from the beta client: mage scrolls (Study in a library, all 29 scrolls by level with their official text and the library quests) and Whimsyfin, with the recipe the Great Goretusk drops and the Delight that transforms you for an hour.
A new identity: the carved WoW Forever logo with the infinity sign, and the site in charcoal, bone and rust, with no shine. Plus what was left from this round: the spellbook with the rogue's poisons, build-by-build patch notes, hunter pets (19 families, the new Fox), what each enemy drops in nine dungeons, a guides index and three new guides: the Cozy Sleeping Bag, the druid snake form and the Barrens rares with their set.
The site takes a step towards usefulness. A new home page with the game's action bar (each section with its key and what's inside) and “Choose your class”. New sections read from the beta client: the spellbook of all nine classes rank by rank, the 450 talent changes vs Classic, new and changed items with gear upgrades for your level, and every dungeon by level with its bosses. A search that understands questions (“dungeons at level 25”, “which racial removes roots”) from any page. In the calculator, the builds saved most on wow4ever. In the header, how many people are here right now, counted in murlocs. Community with fresh data (508,394 duels) and more numbers. And in the footer, why there are no tier lists here.
The talent calculator, updated for the September 24 beta build: 40 talents with their new text (Holy Strike, Vengeance, Bloodthrill, Wake of Fire, Hot Streak…), elemental shaman with Elemental Fury and Elemental Alacrity swapped, Mangle becomes Primal Bite and Primal Fury becomes Blood Frenzy, and the paladin loses Improved Holy Strike and Crusade. If you had a Druid, Paladin or Shaman build saved, it warns you that the data changed.
Two articles. A new one on the September 24 beta patch, explained class by class: talent resets at 1 silver, Eureka! down to 10%, Mangle renamed Primal Bite, a stronger Holy Strike and the Cooldown Manager. And the “Which race?” guide brought up to date: what each of the 40 racials does with beta numbers, the priest racial spells and what the community votes for.
Data updated for the September 24 beta build. Eureka!, the Gnome racial, now cuts costs by 10% for every class (it used to be up to 50% for Mages and Warlocks). The Hall of Thanes now lists its four confirmed bosses, with what to watch for in each, and a fifth quest.
The guild board. At the very top there is now a message of the day, in the game's guild chat green: wow4ever is built by all of us. Click it to open a board where you can suggest an improvement, something you want to see, something you miss, a bug or your Forever video. Name and email are optional, and you can hide the message with the ×.
New quests that reward gear. One page collects the 58 quests that didn't exist in Classic and reward gear, taken from the beta client: level, zone, faction, quest giver and the item you get, with its stats on hover. At the top, the 14 that give blue items; below, all of them by level with a faction filter.
The professions page, with beta client data. A table compares all twelve: how many recipes each has and how many are new, changed or unchanged from Classic (958 new out of 2,518). Each profession now shows what stands out, which skill ranges its new recipes fall in and its three camp objects with the level and effect of each.
One randomizer for you or your group. The group randomizer moves into the astrolabe: “Roll for: You · A group”. If someone already knows what they want, lock their race, class or both and the astrolabe spins only for the rest, player by player. With roles, tank and healer are assigned around what’s locked, and each row’s lock keeps the character it got so you can reroll the rest.
New tools and a shorter menu. The randomizer adds the daily roll (the same for everyone), the group randomizer (2 to 5 players, one faction, with roles) and a downloadable character sheet. Also new: the “Which hero are you?” quiz, the Legacy checklist with all 65 challenges, guild names, the name reservation kit, the ruleset vote and wow4ever achievements. The menu now has four groups, tools first, and every tool is on one page.
New Legacy System guide, built on Blizzard's official article: how it unlocks, all 65 challenges and their points, the 16-point cap per character, all 21 perks across the three trees, the Spectral Bear rewards and what will happen in Hardcore.
The randomizer now does “best of”: pick how many rolls (1 to 10) and a tally scoreboard marks each result. The race that came up most wins and, among the classes that race can be, so does the most repeated class. Ties go to a random tiebreak and the scoreboard says between whom. The share link carries the whole scoreboard.
The Skyborne and all ten races, checked against Blizzard's official article from September 22: its race and class table matches ours cell by cell and all 40 racials carry the same names. The Skyborne article adds their customization (faces, skin tones, hairstyles, their own dance) and no longer says their racials are unofficial.
Straight answers: the settings guide now sums up what to change first and answers which render scale to use, whether there is FSR and whether a GTX 1060 can run the game; the launch page says in its headline when the game comes out; and the randomizer lets you vote Horde or Alliance as soon as it lands.
Straight answers to what people search for most: the beta guide now says how long it lasts in its first line (September 17 to October 21), and the addons page gets quick answers: how to install them, where the folder is, whether Questie and Leatrix Plus work and whether you need a damage meter.
The Priest page gets “Spells by race”: the two spells each of its six races gets, with figures from the beta client. Five are new in Forever: Divine Grace (Human), Chastise (Dwarf), Confounding Flash and Contingency Plan (Gnome) and Dark Sacrifice (Undead). Each race page shows them too.
New public vote: Horde or Alliance? One vote per browser, which you can change any time, and the live result with the split between Spanish and English readers. These are votes from wow4ever visitors, not a game census, and the page says so.
The Hall of Thanes and Ruins of Lordaeron pages, the two new dungeons already playable in the beta, now list their bosses and every quest: who gives it, what it asks and which reward you pick. Anything player guides take for granted that can't be verified is marked as unconfirmed.
New guide to Grund and Gozwin, the Dun Morogh quest that rewards a 6-slot bag at level 4: where to get it, what to do and what it gives. Plus the beta bank figure: 48 slots and 8 bag slots.
New guide to requirements and graphics settings: what WoW Forever needs, which cards are dropped on November 4 and what to change depending on your machine. With the option names straight from the beta client, the command that turns the fog off and why the DLSS you see on YouTube isn't the game's.
New page, “What the community wants to play”: all 56 race and class combos ranked by Forever Mains duels, plus the class split from a poll with over 23,000 votes. With a warning almost nobody gives up front: these are the things people say they want to play, not what is being played in the beta. That head-count doesn't exist yet, and we explain why.
New WoW Forever addons page: the ones that already have a beta build, with dates, what the game ships by default (damage meter, Cooldown Manager, Edit Mode), how to install them, the ones that don't work yet and Blizzard's rules.
The talent calculator and class pages now use beta client data: 469 talents with updated per-rank values, every one with its icon (no more question marks), three new talents and four removed. If you had a saved Druid, Hunter, Rogue, Shaman, Warlock or Warrior build, the calculator will warn you that the trees have changed.
All 40 racials now carry the beta client text, with cast time and cooldown. The Gnome's Escape Artist is instant and grants 3 seconds of immunity to Roots and Snares. The Skyborne get their own race icon.
New “Live now”: who is playing WoW Forever on Twitch right now, English first, with viewer counts and how long they've been live. The four biggest on the home page; the full list on its own page. It refreshes itself every minute and a half.
What Blizzard said as the beta opened, across three new interviews: item stats won't show until an item drops on your server and there's no Dungeon Journal, Season of Discovery class quests return, biome-specific gear bonuses, a bigger bank and barbershops. Plus the official table of supported graphics cards and the beta's first-day known issues.
New PvP page: the 14 honor ranks and what each one unlocks, the four battlegrounds with the Darkspear Islands flagged as new, why there'll be no rated ladder and what changes from Classic. The raids page now spells out that every tier brings a 10-player raid and a 20-player one, with no multiple difficulties.
Recap of Blizzard's live Q&A: GDKP banned and a crackdown on gold buyers, a 10-player and a 20-player raid in every tier with no multiple difficulties, no rated PvP, battlegrounds shared across rulesets and the last name confirmed as mandatory. It also settles the contradiction we had flagged over whether a full name could repeat across rulesets: it can't.
New guide on beta day: where the physical Collector's Edition code arrives (the Gear Store order email, not the Battle.net one), how to redeem it and how to install the beta in Battle.net. The beta guide is corrected: digital packs need no code, the physical edition does.
The name generator does more: class, name gender, last names from each people or each class, five more candidates per roll and puns filtered by class.
New race and class randomizer for the undecided: spin the astrolabe and get a combination that actually exists in Forever (never a Dwarf Mage). Filter by faction or role, lock the race or class you've already settled on, and jump from the result to its page, its build and a name for that race.
Races: a new comparator at the top of the page shows two races side by side (faction, classes and racials), a new “Which race should you pick in WoW Forever?” article, and every race page now links the previous and next race, the article worth reading first and the next step: spin the randomizer as that race or generate a name for it.
Search in news, videos, clips and articles. Plus a privacy page that explains, with no small print, the little the site stores: there are no tracking cookies and no banner, because there's nothing to accept.
New launch day page: the exact time WoW Forever goes live in Spain, Latin America, London, the United States and Sydney, and in your own time zone; the countdown, a checklist of what to sort out before the day and the launch day questions, clearly flagging what Blizzard has not announced yet.
The home page now follows the calendar: before the beta it points you to the guide on getting in, during name reservation to the name generator and, after launch, to everything new. The countdown always targets the next milestone and you can add it to your calendar. We also launched this changelog, and every page and article now shows when we last reviewed it.
On the English pages, every source now shows the original headline of the article it cites. The races page also reads better on phones: the race and class table shows it can be scrolled and the racials are grouped by race.
Official Spanish names: talents, trees and racials on the Spanish site now use the game's own translations. Terms that only exist in Forever stay marked as provisional until the beta client is out.
Classic versus Forever across the hub: every class, race, zone, dungeon and raid opens with a table of what it was in Classic and what it is now, and the calculator marks which talents are new, which replace another and which change. New professions and camping page. We removed the background music and made button and card corners consistent.
The talent calculator gets its own page with all nine classes. New «Sources and methodology» page showing how much of the game is confirmed; the roadmap lets you add each phase to your calendar, and the races page gathers every racial in one table.
Name generator: Forever asks for a first and a last name, so you can roll an epic one for your race or a funny one, see how it looks above your character's head and check the naming rules. We also double-checked every dungeon's level range.
Three long reads: the complete guide to everything new in WoW Forever, the FAQ and how to get into the beta. Long articles now have a table of contents, and game pages link to the articles that mention them. «Explore Forever» now sits right below the home page hero.
Better for search engines and social media: every page links to its twin in the other language, has its own image when you share the link, and the tab shows the wow4ever icon. Articles gained reading time, a progress bar and related articles at the end.
A talent calculator on every class page, with all 51 points, requirements and builds you can share with a link; official icons for classes, talents and racials; zoomable images, and a before/after slider comparing Classic and the new graphics in six revamped zones. The hero now plays Forever's animated key art and each class has its own illustration.
The game hub arrives: classes, races, zones, dungeons and raids with their sources and what is confirmed; Blizzard's official roadmap replaces the timeline, and we published our first articles. New drop-down menu.
wow4ever opens: a fan site about WoW Forever in English and Spanish, with news from Blizzard and the press, community videos and clips, and the countdown to launch.
