Beta reference · reviewed 27 September 2026. Racial descriptions use the community export for Forever beta build 1.60.1.70009. Its source notes identify beta-client extraction; this wiki has not independently tested racial effects or every character-creation combination.

Gnome appears in the Alliance roster retained in the Forever beta export. This reference summarizes that race’s recorded general racials and class options.[1]

Recorded class options

Warrior, Mage, Rogue, Priest, Warlock.[1]

See Race and class combinations for the distinction between an announced addition, a source-listed combination, and an unlisted combination.

Recorded racial abilities

The following summarizes the beta export; listed numbers are build-specific data, not independent gameplay measurements.[1]

Ability Recorded effect
Escape Artist Removes movement-impairing effects and grants 3 seconds of immunity, with a 2-minute cooldown.
Eureka! The next three damaging abilities deal 10% more damage and cost 10% less Mana, Rage, or Energy. For healers, the next three damaging or healing abilities cost 10% less Mana and have 10% greater effect. Listed cooldown: 2 minutes.
Expansive Mind Increases the maximum of the class's resource—Mana, Rage, or Energy—by 5%.
Engineering Specialization The beta text states that device failure or backfire rates are reduced by 20%. It does not supply individual devices' starting failure rates.

The export generated 26 September replaces the earlier class-dependent Eureka! cost reductions with 10% reductions. This is a comparison of source snapshots; the wiki has not independently measured the effect in game.[1]

Resource capacity and escaping snares

A larger resource maximum does not by itself describe regeneration. Check the exact tooltip shown to the chosen class before assuming every Eureka! effect applies in the same way. This is editorial advice for evaluating the beta data, not a ranking of races.

First character checklist

  • Choose a supported class from the linked roster, then read its talent guide.
  • Recheck character-creation options and racial tooltips in the current beta build.
  • Record the build and conditions when reporting a change. Starting quests, trainer coordinates, and numerical racial comparisons need their own evidence.

The Priest guide also covers class-specific racial spells. Their race assignments were first observed in the demo and still require current character-creation or spellbook verification. The four general abilities above are not a complete Priest racial spellbook.
