WoW Forever: XP Hunting - how to level and quest efficiently

World of Warcraft: Forever is different from modern WoW, but also from Classic. With our tips, you'll embark on the new Azeroth adventure in the best possible way. This page is about questing and leveling.

The leveling phase of WoW: Forever is long and tedious. We have gathered a whole bunch of tips for you that will make your XP hunt easier. Furthermore, we will show you how to easily earn your first 6-slot bag with all classes.

• The dungeons yield the most experience in Forever when you can complete as many quests as possible in just one visit. A second run with few or no quests is hardly worthwhile, as defeating monsters provides very few experience points.
• The Addon DungeonJournal (via curseforge.com) tells you which quests are available for each dungeon and where to get them. We highly recommend it, as dungeon quests are often wildly spread across both continents.
• There is no level scaling in Azeroth. If a quest is a few levels above your level and therefore colored orange or red, it can quickly become dangerous for you. A too high level difference negatively affects your hit chance and how much damage you have to take. Beginners should focus on green or yellow quests that are roughly at their level.
• If a quest is marked for groups, you should follow that recommendation. Often, you will encounter elite enemies in the open world that can take a lot of hits and deal significant damage.
• Through level-ups, you gain access to new class skills that you must buy from the class trainer. So check in with the trainers regularly.
• With level 10, you unlock your talent trees and can invest a new point in them after each level-up. Respecing is possible but costs increasingly more. Later, you will gain access to the dual-spec feature, which allows you to switch between two specializations.
• Use the new legacy and storage systems, buff food, and the rest bonus to level up in Azeroth as often as possible with a bonus for received experience points. The rest bonus builds up fastest when you log out in inns or capitals.
• When you pass by a settlement or the capital, repair your equipment. With a broken weapon, you deal no damage. Destroyed equipment no longer provides any protection.
• Before each trip, make sure you have everything important ready. With Forever, many classes require less stuff than in Classic, but there are still important supplies like ammunition for hunters, poisons for rogues, or water for mana classes. And buff food for extra stats and experience.
• Every class or race has access to a quest that provides you with a useful bag relatively early in the game:
  • Orcs and Trolls start at level 4 from the watchtower outside of Klingenhügel for the quest available there.
  • Tauren begin a quest chain at level 1 in Mulgore (with “A Humble Task”), which ultimately rewards you with your first 6-slot bag.
  • Undead pick up the quest from the local deathwatch at level 4 at the cemetery in Brill.
  • Sky-born get the quest “The Problem With Prideclaws” from Indari in the village of Shen’dralar.
  • Humans have to work the hardest for their new bag. First, you must beat the Vermin Goblins until one drops a book for the first quest. The quest chain leads you through half the region, mines, and past elite enemies.
  • Night Elves of level 4+ travel to Dolanaar and get the simple quest for the bag from Aldia in the tree house.
  • Dwarves and Gnomes go to the bunker in Anvilmar at level 4 to get the corresponding bag quest from Grund Drokda.
