WoW Forever Quests: New Questlines, Dungeon Quests and Class Quests

World of Warcraft: Forever reworks Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor with 1000+ new quests from level 1 to the cap of 60. Unfinished Classic corners open. Starting zones get new NPCs and profession hooks.

The big mid-level block is the Riverglades: mid-30s to mid-40s, with 150+ new quests. Mount Hyjal, Shen'dralas and Zephras Isle also carry new story work.

Everyone starts at level 1 on 4 November 2026 at 3:00 PM PST. Quests are the spine of the 1 to 60 route. There is no level scaling and no flying.

Beta runs 17 September to 21 October with a cap of 20, then 30. Beta quest progress does not carry to live. Treat beta quest text as practice for the live route.

Food can grant a small XP bonus with stats. That stacks with quest XP on long sessions. Cooking sits next to questing on the same calendar.

The Riverglades is a new frontier of rivers, grasslands, trade and towns. Blizzard places it in the mid-30s to mid-40s band with more than 150 quests.

Its port is Powderfuse Port. A Steamwheedle Cartel ship runs from Tanaris into that port. Stormwind Harbor to Auberdine and the Menethil to Southshore to Auberdine loop open early travel while you quest.

Blizzard compares the zone's size to Stranglethorn Vale. It sits on land that was closed in Classic, next to Burning Steppes, Redridge, Swamp of Sorrows and the Badlands.

Faction names inside the zone appear in Blizzard's world posts: gnolls, ogres, Powderfuse goblins, Twilight's Hammer and the Brotherhood of the Horse.

Plan a long stay here between the 30s and 40s on your power-leveling calendar. Bring bag space for trade goods and dungeon quest items you pick up on the same levels.

Zephras Isle is the Skyborne start, levels 1 to 12, with elemental and Skywall-style architecture. Skyborne characters quest here before they join Horde or Alliance cities.

Mount Hyjal covers the land after Archimonde's defeat, including Darkwhisper Gorge. You help restore and shape the recovering zone. Its exact level band is not published as of 23 September 2026.

Shen'dralas sits between Mulgore and Desolace and ties to the Shen'dralar, Eldre'Thalas, Dire Maul and the centaur.

Wetlands pick up new quests. Desolace adds centaur faction quests and faction rewards. All starting zones get new NPCs, quests and profession hooks.

Classic hubs keep familiar turn-ins with updated rewards on some famous chains. Treat old memory routes as changed until you read each quest text in-game.

Blizzard expanded dungeon quest rewards across Forever. Bosses can also drop Blueprint recipes for camping objects. Exact quest giver names and turn-in steps for each new dungeon are not published as of 23 September 2026.

Ruins of Lordaeron and Hall of Thanes are 2 of the 9 new dungeons live on day 1. The full new list also names the Excavation Site above Whelgar's Excavation, City of Dalaran, Blackmaw Hold, the Drowned City, Krol'dok Stronghold, Alcaz Prison and the Shaper's Terrace.

Pick up every dungeon quest you see before a 1st clear. Quest XP matters more while mob XP is tuned down inside instances.

Legacy Challenges group dungeon work into bands of 15 to 25, 26 to 45 and 46 to 60. Use those bands to time when you run each instance on the way to 60.

Book a clear on the dungeons shelf if you want the quest turn-ins done in 1 session with a Pro group.

Undead Paladins start at Bandarion Keep in Whispering Wood (Tirisfal). They get their own level-60 epic mount quest framed around Retribution.

A dedicated level-20 Paladin quest name and reward list is not published as of 23 September 2026.

Dwarf Shamans and other new race-class pairs have story hooks in Blizzard's deep dive.

Talent milestones sit at 11, 16, 21 and 31 points. Class buffs that used to sit in trees (Divine Spirit, Blessing of Kings, Improved Mark of the Wild) are baseline now.

Plan class trainers and any published class story stops into your route before raids unlock on 9 December. Check the Paladin and Shaman pages for class change notes that affect questing.

Forever keeps the Classic-era continents and the feel of danger on the road. Iconic hubs remain. Many classic quests stay, with reworked rewards on some famous turn-ins.

The timeline sits after Warcraft III Reforged: Forsaken Kingdom and before Molten Core. Story hooks for Forsaken reclaim work and Hyjal recovery sit on top of that frame.

Do not expect a copy of the 2004 quest list. Blizzard calls out unfinished corners opening and 1000+ new quests. Reread breadcrumb text when you return to a zone you know.

Travel is ground only. Mounts come with riding training in the Burning Crusade style.

Ship routes cut travel time between early quest hubs. Use them when a breadcrumb sends you across the sea instead of swimming the old path.

Raids unlock on 9 December 2026, 5 weeks after launch. Quests, dungeon quest XP and food XP bonuses are the published leveling tools. Paid character boosts are not sold in the Forever packs.

If your hours are short, hold a leveling pre-order at $299 with 1 booster or $420 with 2 boosters (regular $399 / $599). Pros can push the Riverglades block and the late 40s to 60 while you keep class quests on track.

Name reservation runs 27 October to 3 November for pack owners. Lock the character name, then quest from 1 on 4 November.

Hardcore is on the roadmap after launch. Quest on Normal, PvP or Roleplaying for day 1. Group only inside your ruleset.

Ask in chat with your class, hours per night and target raid date. You get a quest and dungeon order that fits those hours.
