Beta launch and testing
Blizzard announced the beta live on 17 September 2026.[1] Start with Beta guide for playable scope and installation, Game access for eligibility, and Beta known issues before testing a class.
The September 18 issue review links Blizzard's dated list and the affected class guides. Planned fixes remain pending evidence of delivery. The wiki does not infer a resolved bug from the presence of a newer build number.
Beta talent data
The talent reference now contains 468 active class talents and 21 named Legacy perks from the licensed beta-client export, build 1.60.1.69876. Project:Talent data records the exact snapshot, build, rank evidence, and coverage. Earlier demo descriptions remain historical evidence where a record has been removed or replaced.
September 20 source review
The 19 September Talents Forever export corrects the recorded Resourcefulness trigger chances to 30%/60%, Lightning Reflexes Agility ranks to 3%/6%/9%/12%/15%, and Cultivation to include a 1-hour cooldown. These are source-snapshot corrections; no new game hotfix is inferred.[2]
The new spell references cover 385 beta-tagged rank records with source-listed learning levels 1–20. They exclude Classic fallback text, demo General-tab records, talents, and records marked for alternative acquisition. Tooltips retain the source’s level-60 reference context.
Announcement corrections
15 September 2026: Krol'dok Stronghold's announced range was corrected to 40–45.[3] This corrects the published preview information; it is not a tested gameplay hotfix.
Datamining reports
16 September 2026: Wowhead published Forever map previews and provisional reputation names.[4][5] See World maps and Factions for inspected assets, attribution, and unanswered questions. Datamined previews explains the limits of the gear and creature reports, including mixed-edition set data. These are reports about client data, not a tested gameplay change log.
Research record
The latest additions expand Recipes, Items, and Quests. These are source reviews and reference images, with evidence limits recorded on each article; they do not announce new game changes.
| Review date | What this wiki recorded | Where to read |
|---|---|---|
| 17 September 2026 | Sixteen Icy Veins guides reviewed; class and system explanations expanded, with official support details checked directly. | Guides · Game access · System requirements · Release roadmap |
| 17 September 2026 | Original interviews reviewed; announced raids, groups, and three datamined maps received linked references. | Project:Sources · Raids · Factions · World maps |
| 16 September 2026 | Class, racial, and talent previews have source labels. Conflicting or incomplete descriptions remain marked. | Classes · Race and class combinations · Project:Talent data |
| 16 September 2026 | Announced systems have dedicated guides; item acquisition links distinguish identified rewards from unknown sources. | Legacy system · Camping · Equipment sources |
| 16 September 2026 | Dungeon articles cite the dated source for their level range. These are content ranges, not tested entry limits. | Dungeons · Dungeon loot |
Game build and hotfix log
The source import and official issue notes do not amount to an independent in-game test. No resolved-hotfix entry is asserted here. A wiki content expansion is not a game patch. Each future change should record:
- Build and date: the affected game version and the announcement or test date.
- Before → after: the exact field or behavior changed, with both sources when available.
- Affected pages: the class, talent, quest, recipe, item, or location references needing updates.
- Evidence: an official patch note or a reproducible observation, with disagreement preserved if sources conflict.
For a reported correction, edit the affected article first, preserve its historical evidence, then link the completed change here. Do not replace an unknown value with an extrapolation from another edition.
