FAQ

What is the best leveling route in WoW Forever?
Each faction has a guide per bracket: Alliance and Horde 1-10, 10-20 and 20-30, plus Skyborne 1-12 on Zephras Isle. The step order is our suggested route, built from quest levels and hubs; we mark it as played once we have tested it in game.

Blizzard said on September 24 that it takes about 20.5 hours to reach level 20 in WoW Forever. No measured value exists yet for level 60.
