'''Leveling and experience''' covers Forever's announced XP direction and the [[Legacy system|Legacy perks]] relevant to leveling.

== Announced XP design ==
Kris Zierhut described an unchanged experience curve to level 60, lower dungeon-monster XP, and substantially higher dungeon-quest XP. The intended reward favors completing dungeon quests over repeatedly clearing the same instance. The interview provides no numerical XP multipliers.<ref>Sean Keach, [https://www.thesun.ie/tech/17614476/world-of-warcraft-forever-interview-zones-races-skills-levelling/ Developer interview], The Sun, 13 September 2026; reviewed 20 September 2026.</ref>

== Group travel ==
Meeting Stones open group listings; they do not summon players.<ref>Rebekah Valentine, [https://kotaku.com/new-things-learned-world-of-warcraft-forever-2000734005 Interview], Kotaku, 14 September 2026.</ref>

== Legacy effects are different kinds of help ==
These examples come from the licensed beta-client export, not a timed leveling test. Read [[Legacy system]] for account progress and allocation rules, and [[Beta guide]] for the available test content.<ref name="data">Chris Baldwin, [https://talentsforever.com/legacy Talents Forever: Legacy], [https://talentsforever.com/data.json CC BY 4.0 export], generated 19 September 2026, beta client 1.60.1.69876; reviewed 20 September 2026. Descriptions adapted; see [[Project:Talent data]] for provenance.</ref>

<div class="fw-query-table">
{| class="wikitable fw-data-table"
! Perk !! Recorded benefit !! What the description does not establish
|-
| [[Well Rested (Legacy)|Well Rested]] || Rested XP accumulates 4%/8%/12%/16%/20% faster, and its cap increases by the same percentages at ranks 1–5. || This modifies accumulation and storage; it does not say every quest or kill awards that much more XP.
|-
| [[Talented (Legacy)|Talented]] || The first class talent point moves to level 9/8/7/6/5 at ranks 1–5. The maximum remains 51 points. || Earlier access does not add points to a finished level-60 build. Its source requirements are five points in Adventure and Well Rested.
|-
| [[Frequent Flier (Legacy)|Frequent Flier]] || Flight paths cost 50% less and the flight-path mount travels 20% faster. || This describes flight paths, not a bonus to ordinary mounted or running speed.
|}
</div>
The table follows the source's distinct effects. It is not an allocation recommendation, and the presence of a client record does not prove that it is accessible in the current beta phase.<ref name="data" />

== Comparing beta results ==
Keep quest turn-ins separate from kills in an XP log. Record client build, character level, party levels, rested state, active Legacy allocation, and elapsed time. A clear that includes previously unfinished quests and a repeat clear answer different questions; record both before comparing them.

[[Dungeons]] provides the destination index. [[Project:Beta verification]] supplies a format for contributing reproducible measurements.
