Choose a character, understand the new systems, and follow documented rewards through Azeroth. These guides separate announcements and community preview data from observations made in a named game build.
Changes from Classic
Find the differences to review before relying on an old guide.
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.
October 12 research additions
Prepare through the expanded Ruins of Lordaeron reference, follow cooking learning chains, and consult the updated Mage, Shaman, Rogue and Warlock articles for their written sources and original previews. Beta known issues and Beta data comparison (70291 to 70338) keep dated staff statements and client evidence separate.
Access and installation
- Beta guide — testing scope, installation, and a practical first session.
- Beta known issues — dated official problems, class notes, and clearly labeled community reports.
- Game access — launch subscriptions, beta eligibility, upgrade differences, and missing-client checks.
- System requirements — Blizzard's published Windows and Mac requirements.
- Release roadmap — dated milestones and the announced plans for later content.
Build your character
- Classes — nine guides explaining preview abilities, specialization choices, and linked talent interactions.
- Race and class combinations — compare the documented options; Races explains the racial references.
- Spellbooks — level 1–20 spell-rank references for all nine classes, with source context and exclusions.
- Talents — individual ranks and prerequisites; Legacy system explains the separate perk trees.
Explore and prepare
- Leveling and experience — XP design, Legacy effects, and practical evidence to record.
- Camping and Professions — documented campsite contributions and crafting changes.
- Recipes — recipe research, named campsite objects, and evidence still needed.
- New zones and travel, Zones, and Dungeons — locations and documented level ranges.
- World maps — three inspected Forever map previews with original source details.
- Raids, Darkspear Islands and PvP progression — sourced group-content and progression references.
- Factions — local groups and separately marked datamined reputation names.
- Light's Justice and A Frightened Request — dated Ruins of Lordaeron quest reports and evidence limits.
- Quest rewards and Equipment sources — follow the evidence connecting a reward to its source.
- Dungeon loot — browse source-linked loot records alongside the dungeon directory.
Choose your settings
- Realmless rulesets and Character names — developer comments on world options and naming.
- Transmogrification — the announced approach to appearances.
- User interface and accessibility — documented visual and interface plans.
- Discovery and itemization — understand equipment evidence before using Datamined previews.
- Skyborne starting guide — connected original quest segments, linked characters and dated travel evidence.
- Leveling equipment — source-linked equipment by recorded level and bonus focus.
Follow changes
Datamined data provides the broader research catalogue, including higher ranks and explicit evidence limits. Datamined previews covers separately sourced model and map reports.
Beta changes collects dated source reviews. Project:Beta verification explains how to add a tested route, recipe, quest, or boss strategy without mixing builds. Corrections to wiki pages remain visible in each page's history and Special:RecentChanges.
