RETURNING TO AZEROTH

Changes from Classic

Find the differences to review before relying on an old guide.

New Forever quest catalogue

Explore New quests in Forever for individually sourced objectives, rewards and evidence. Same-title quest records keep their exact IDs.

Latest written-source review

Read Dungeon experience and follow the Mulgore report reference. Each article identifies its original evidence and unresolved details.

Controls, rewards and developer plans

Read Gamepad controls, Pouch of Violet Dust and Class tuning plans. Each article separates its announcement, timing and evidence limits.

After launch

Begin with Installing Forever, Beginner guide, Forever hotfixes and Forever known issues. Follow the newly documented Mulgore chain for individual objectives and source limits.

Later written notes

Read the developer update alongside interface guidance and dungeon guidance. Check the source audit for database and tool scope.

Prepare to play

Consult the schedule, follow installation help, then use the beginner guide for further reading. Check each article's date before relying on older beta guidance.

Further farm, dungeon and Alchemy reading

Follow the farm and construct checklist, inspect dungeon-chain references, or compare Alchemy learning and output records. Each original keeps its access limits and source date.

Hall, scholar and Tailoring reading

Open Hall collection references, follow the scholar checklist, or compare Tailoring learning and output chains. Individual articles identify original dates, conflicting source views and unknown acquisition.

Further quests, excavation and Engineering

Follow Skyborne starting guide, open the excavation reference, or compare three Engineering chains. Individual pages show their review dates, conflicts and acquisition limits.

Skyborne, Dalaran and cooking

Follow Skyborne starting guide, compare Dalaran equipment and objectives, or open three cooking chains. Classes links the newly reviewed dated developer explanations.

Nightclaw, excavation and collecting

Follow the selected Nightclaw quest checklist, inspect excavation objective and equipment references, compare four crafting chains, or open Companion collecting. Each article identifies its own evidence and unknowns.

More quest and crafting references

Follow the Shen'dralas centaur quest guide, open individual Hall of Thanes records, compare crafting learning chains, or start Companion collecting. Each reference distinguishes its evidence from a tested gameplay route.
