Level faster

What gets you to 60 faster

Rested XP

Log out in an inn or a capital and your kills pay bonus XP when you come back. The Legacy perk Well Rested stores up to 20% more.

Dungeons: once, with quests

The first clear with every quest pays a lot. Repeat runs give far less kill XP, and skipping the quests leaves about an hour of leveling behind.

Campfire and tent

Sit about a minute at a lit campfire for its buffs. A Leatherworking tent gives about 5% of a level after 30 seconds, once per hour.

How long it takes

A fast route reaches level 20 in about 4 to 6 hours. A normal quest run to 60 takes about 150 hours of play.

FAQ

What is the level cap in WoW Forever?

Level 60 at launch. In the beta the cap is 20 right now, later 30.

Which new leveling zones are there?

Zephras Isle for Skyborne from 1 to 12 and the Riverglades from about 35 to 45 with more than 150 new quests. Mount Hyjal waits at level 60.

How many new quests are there?

About 1,000 new quests on the way from 1 to 60, on top of the Classic ones.

How do I get to the Riverglades?

By ship: the Alliance from the Redridge Mountains, the Horde from Tanaris.

Does the Legacy System help with leveling?

Yes, for example Well Rested for more rested experience, Talented for earlier talent points and Frequent Flier for cheaper flights.

Is running dungeons over and over worth it?

Hardly. Dungeon mobs give much less experience, but the quests pay a lot on the first run. Run each dungeon once with every quest.

Can I reach level 60 in the beta?

No, the beta is open to level 20 and rises to 30 later. Level 60 comes with launch.

Which dungeons come first?

Hall of Thanes and Ragefire Chasm from level 13.

Is there a level boost from Blizzard?

Blizzard plans no WoW Token and no paid boost for Forever. If you want to save time, our shop has leveling services.

Where do I find the route for my race?

In the Leveling Guide 1–60: pick your start, set your level and see the route on the map.
