WoW Forever is live: plan your character and your next trip

World of Warcraft: Forever (WoW Forever) launched on November 4, 2026. It returns to the original Azeroth with a level cap of 60, revised talents for all nine classes, six new race and class combinations, the playable Skyborne race, new zones and nine new dungeons. The first raids, Barrow Deeps, Hyjal Summit and Onyxia’s Lair, open on December 9. See the launch status, hotfixes and raid dates.

Forever Atlas is an independent guide with planning tools for the game. Everything works without an account, in English and Simplified Chinese.

Choose and build a character

  • Talent planner: all 27 trees and 465 talents. Set your level, spend the points you have, then save or share the build. Six worked examples and 45 community builds are ready to load.
  • Class changes: talents beside their Classic Era versions, marked new, revised or moved.
  • Race and class table: which races can play each class, with the six new combinations marked.
  • Racial comparison: two races side by side, including both Skyborne variants.
  • Spellbook: costs, ranges, cast times and requirements for each class.

Talent points start at level 10, so your budget is your level minus nine: 11 points at level 20, 21 at 30 and 51 at 60. That makes Priest Penance and Paladin Holy Shock level-30 goals, and puts Warrior Vanguard within reach at 25. Each class has a page that works through these choices: Warrior, Paladin, Hunter, Rogue, Priest, Shaman, Mage, Warlock and Druid.

Get where you are going

  • Boat routes: every boat and zeppelin, plus a planner for any two ports. Stormwind to Southshore takes two boats, with a change at Auberdine.
  • World and zone maps: 53 maps, 33 of them with flight points and harbors marked.
  • Dungeon guide: the nine new dungeons, from Hall of Thanes (13–18) to Shaper’s Terrace (58–60), and where to find each one.

Playing this week

Since the November 13 hotfixes, a dungeon enemy that is trivial to any party member gives the whole party no kill experience, so check the level spread before inviting a high-level friend. The first Tuesday class tuning arrived on November 10 for Hunter pets, Voidwalkers, Affliction Warlocks and Enhancement Shamans. Raids open on December 9, and every Onyxia raider needs a Drakefire Amulet: start the Onyxia attunement now. The news page lists each update with its source.
