Forever Guide is an independent, English-language fan guide to World of Warcraft: Forever, written by long-time WoW players for new and returning players. Our goal is simple: whatever stage of the game you are in, from choosing a class before launch to preparing for a new raid tier, you should be able to find an answer here that you can trust.
Who this guide is for
- Returning Classic players who want to know what is different before they spend a weekend leveling. Many Classic habits and numbers no longer apply in Forever, so every class page focuses on what changed.
- New players who want a clear starting point without reading dozens of forum threads.
- Alt lovers who want to plan Legacy Points, professions and rulesets across several characters.
How we work
- Official sources first. Pages are built from Blizzard's announcements, class deep dives, panel recaps and patch notes. Each page lists its sources at the bottom and the date we last checked them at the top.
- Secondary sources are labelled. When we cite a fan site such as Wowhead for something Blizzard has not written down, the source list marks it as secondary and the text says so.
- No guessing. WoW: Forever changes many numbers from Classic. If something is not confirmed, we say "not confirmed yet" or leave it out. Every guide has a "What is not confirmed yet" section for exactly this reason.
- Verify before we rank. We do not publish tier lists, recommended builds, leveling speed claims or best-in-slot gear until we can check them in the live game. Our talent calculator is generated from the game client's own data, not from guesses. A guide that is early but wrong costs you hours.
- Our own words. We summarize and explain official information rather than copying it, and we link to the original so you can read it yourself.
How we keep pages up to date
World of Warcraft: Forever is designed to grow through regular content patches: raids on December 9, Hardcore after launch, and more raids, dungeons and quests over time. When Blizzard announces a change, we update every page that mentions it and move the "last checked" date. Dates that move, such as release times, are kept in one place in our data so they cannot drift out of sync between pages.
Our tools
The talent calculator and Legacy perk planner are generated from the WoW: Forever client's data tables; the class picker, race and class finder, Legacy points tracker and time converters run on small, fixed data sets taken from Blizzard's posts. They run entirely in your browser. We list on the tools page which tools we are deliberately not building yet, and why.
What we will cover next
After launch on November 4 we will add leveling routes for both factions, guides to the four new zones, boss strategies for the nine new dungeons, profession leveling, and the December 9 raids. Each of these will follow the same rule as the rest of the site: we publish once we can confirm it in the live game, and we list where every fact came from.
