Beta reference · reviewed 19 September 2026. Racial descriptions use the community export for Forever beta build 1.60.1.69876. Its source notes identify beta-client extraction; this wiki has not independently tested racial effects or every character-creation combination.
Races collects the character-creation and racial-ability references for World of Warcraft: Forever. Start with the class compatibility matrix, then compare the recorded racials for the class you want to play.
Browse by faction
The faction roster below follows the current community export; each race article distinguishes beta racial text from untested character-creation availability.[1]
| Alliance | Horde |
|---|---|
| Human | Orc |
| Dwarf | Undead |
| Night Elf | Tauren |
| Gnome | Troll |
| Skyborne — High Order | Skyborne — Windshaper |
Make a useful comparison
- Pick the class and faction first with Race and class combinations.
- Read the race’s general abilities, noting weapon requirements, target types, and interrupted channels.
- Open the class guide and follow its talent reading path.
- Recheck the character-creation screen and spellbook in beta before treating extracted values as live behavior.
A racial that helps in one activity may have little use in another. A map of gathering routes, a dungeon comparison, and a player-versus-player comparison need different evidence; this index does not declare a universal best race.
New players and returning players
The Skyborne guide explains faction-dependent choices and the Zephras Isle starting experience. For familiar races, the linked references summarize the Forever beta data rather than importing racial values from Classic. Priest players should also check the distinction between general race abilities and class-specific racial spells.
Evidence and corrections
The racial-data descriptions in this set were checked against the 18 September export on 19 September 2026. Its source notes identify beta build 1.60.1.69876; racial entries do not have individual source flags. Source checking verifies the cited extraction, not gameplay or final balance. The race/class matrix preserves the distinction between Blizzard announcements and community roster listings. Record beta observations with a build, rank, and reproducible conditions under Project:Data policy.
