WoW: Forever beta build: level 30, Excavation Site and class changes. The October 1, 2026 WoW: Forever beta build is live. It raises the level cap, opens two older dungeons and a brand new one, and lands a large class pass along with camping, PvP and profession changes. Level cap and dungeons Players can now level to level 30 . New dungeon: Excavation Site: Wetlands (26–31) . Razorfen Downs (25+) and Uldaman (30+) are now open, alongside Ragefire Chasm, Hall of Thanes, Ruins of Lordaeron, Wailing Caverns, The Deadmines, Shadowfang Keep, The Stockade, Blackfathom Deeps, Gnomeregan, Razorfen Kraul and Scarlet Monastery. Class changes Druid (Feral): Tiger's Fury and the King of the Jungle talent are gone, and two new talents arrive: Shifting Power and Improved Shifting Power . Bear and Dire Bear Form generate 75% more Rage on critical strikes, and all shapeshift forms are immune to Disarm. Warrior: critical strikes now generate 100% more Rage. Fury gets new talents Lingering Rage , Furious Precision and Gore Drinker , while Improved Cleave and Boundless Rage are removed; Bloodthirst scales with 45% of Attack Power. Protection talents are shuffled so non-shield builds can reach the middle of the tree. Mage (Fire): Hot Streak is renamed Heating Up , and Combustion drops back to 3 charges. Paladin: Redoubt's block is now 4/8/12/16/20%, Holy Shield blocks 30%, and Champion of the Light gives 20/40/60% of Intellect as spell damage (no healing).

Warlock: Soul Harvesting is renamed Soul Harvest , and Hellfire can critically strike. Priest: Devouring Plague can crit, Shadow Word: Death no longer always benefits from Early Demise, and Inner Focus only boosts non-periodic spells. Rogue: Setup only counts your current target's own attacks and spells, and a missed Expose Armor no longer drops your combo points. Shaman: Ghost Wolf is easier to see, Disease Cleansing Totem lasts 5 minutes, and Totemic Recall restores Mana again. Racials Gnome: Eureka! no longer benefits periodic effects at all. Undead: Cannibalize cannot be used while immune to Physical damage. Camping, PvP and professions Campfires no longer damage players below level 5 and deal reduced damage below 90% health; the Boosted Rest tooltip was rewritten. Most PvP gear and upgrade-token honor costs rose about 50%, and the honor cap went from 15,000 to 25,000. Shenthul in Orgrimmar now trains Windshaper Skyborne, new Blacksmithing and Leatherworking dungeon recipes are live, and Skinning is once again limited to a single skin per creature.
