News & Guides
World of Warcraft Forever news, class guides, dungeon strategies, raids, PvP, professions and Legacy walkthroughs.
WoW Forever Alterac Valley: Objectives Beyond Honor Farming
Alterac Valley is a large battleground where rushing toward the end can obscure the strategic value of objectives and reinforcements. In Forever, players should separate useful objective completion from simplistic honor-farming expectations.
WoW Forever Arathi Basin: Five-Node Control and Rotations
Arathi Basin is a five-base battleground where keeping usable positions usually matters more than one spectacular skirmish. The Forever beta includes the familiar battleground, but updated class and PvP combat rules make dated burst assumptions unreliable.
WoW Forever Excavation Site: Wetlands Level 24–29 Run
Excavation Site is a new Forever dungeon set around Whelgar's Excavation Site in the Wetlands, with an approximate intended range of levels 24–29. A well-prepared party can combine dungeon exploration with nearby quest objectives instead of making multiple long Wetlands trips.
WoW Forever Hall of Thanes: Level 13–18 Dungeon Preparation
Hall of Thanes is an early Forever dungeon associated with Ironforge and presented as an Alliance instance at roughly levels 13–18. Players should treat its low level as a reason to prepare efficiently, not as permission to ignore group roles.
WoW Forever PvP Ranking: Rank Points, Honor and Weekly Caps
Forever separates progress toward its 14 PvP ranks from the currencies used to buy items. Treat Rank Points, Honor Points and Marks of Honor as distinct resources instead of describing them all as honor.
WoW Forever Ruins of Lordaeron: Horde Early-Dungeon Guide
Ruins of Lordaeron is a new early Forever dungeon associated with the Horde and roughly levels 15–20. Its appeal is a group experience while talent trees are still shallow; the challenge is minimizing downtime and coordinating access.
WoW Forever The Drowned City: Preparing for Level 35–40
The Drowned City is an announced new Forever dungeon in ancient troll ruins off the coast of Stranglethorn Vale. The current overview places it around levels 35–40, which is beyond the early beta's level-30 cap. Treat this as a preparation guide rather than a current live-farm walkthrough.
WoW Forever Warsong Gulch: Flag Carrier and Escort Roles
Warsong Gulch rewards organization more than scattered kills. In Forever, it remains one of the classic battlegrounds alongside the new Darkspear Islands, but the best plan still depends on a coordinated carrier, escorts and recovery team.
