WoW: Forever leveling guide 1-60: zones, dungeons and professions by level

Level cap 60Dungeons: game clientZones: Classic, to be confirmedUpdated October 25, 2026

WoW: Forever's level cap is 60. Here are, in bands of ten levels, the zones to level in, the dungeons to run and the profession ranks that unlock, then the leveling of each specialization. Every figure says where it comes from: the game client, a Blizzard announcement, or WoW Classic when Forever has not confirmed it yet.

Quick answers: leveling 1 to 60

What is the level cap in WoW Forever?

The level cap is 60. The first talent point comes at level 10, then one per level up to 51 points at level 60.

Which dungeons should I run to level from 1 to 60 in WoW: Forever?

In the client data, dungeons range from level 13 (Hall of Thanes) to level 60 (Scholomance, Sunken Temple, Blackrock Depths). Each dungeon's level range is in this guide, with a link to its loot page. All dungeons →

Which talent build should I take to level my class?

Every specialization guide has a "Leveling from 1 to 60" section: the talent order step by step (derived from the level-60 build, not tested while leveling), the dungeons of each level band and the spec's best item in each. Leveling by class →

Which class levels fastest?

We have no measure of leveling speed: our simulator measures level 60. A dedicated page says what we know about the classes, what is an opinion, and points to the community's views. Which class to level? →

How long does it take to reach level 60?

We give no duration: no reliable source measures it for Forever, and the time depends on the class, the route and the dungeons.

At what level do profession ranks unlock?

According to the game client, the Journeyman rank is learned at level 10, Expert at level 20 and Artisan at level 35. Profession guides →

Are WoW Classic's leveling zones the same in Forever?

That is not confirmed. Forever extends the original Azeroth with new content (Zephras Isle, Mount Hyjal, Riverglades): the zone level ranges in this guide come from WoW Classic and remain to be checked in game.

Can you reach level 60 in WoW Forever?

Yes: the level cap is 60. The zone and dungeon levels in this guide come from the client tables and from Classic, not from games we played.

What is confirmed and what is not

Leveling by class and specialization

For each specialization: the talent order from 10 to 60, the dungeons of each band with the best item, and the calculator set at each step. The talent order is derived from the level-60 build and was not tested while leveling.

The Journeyman rank is learned at level 10, Expert at level 20 and Artisan at level 35 (character level required by the game client). The cost is the one on each profession page: reagents, recipes and ranks from 1 to 300, computed from our data.

Alchemy lvl 10 lvl 20 lvl 35 51g 86s
Blacksmithing lvl 10 lvl 20 lvl 35 213g 60s

First Aid lvl 10 — * lvl 35 * 17g 8s

* Expert and Artisan ranks are not learned from a trainer: they are obtained another way (see the profession page).

No "level in parallel" profession advice is given here: nothing in our data says which pair is best, and we do not make up a recommendation.

The dungeons, in order

20 dungeons have a level range in our data, sorted by entry level. Each dungeon has its own page with its loot.
