Leveling routes · WoW: Forever

Follow a route someone already played.

A recorded route is the exact order of quest pick-ups and hand-ins a player made with Waylight. Draft routes cover every starting zone from level 1 to 30 and both factions from 30 to 60. The draft routes are built into Waylight: click Follow route in the Waylight panel and it picks the right route for your race and level. Read them step by step here.

Quests can still change at launch on 4 November.

Recorded in the beta

Draft routes 1–30 Draft

One for every starting zone, built from quest data and not played through yet. Forever's new quests aren't in them: Waylight picks those up as you play. In game, Waylight also adds your class quests (pet, demons, forms, totems, stances) to the route. If a step never shows up in game, type /wl skip.

Draft routes 30–60 Draft

One per faction, from level 30 to 60, built the same way. Levels 30–60 open at launch on 4 November.

More routes arrive with launch. See the zone order 1–60, or share your route and it could be next.

    Where to level, level by level

    A launch plan for every faction. Pick one zone from each level band and move on when its quests turn green. As players record routes, each zone gets a link to a real one.

    Level ranges and new zones are based on published Forever guides, such as Overgear's 1–60 overview, and on the classic map. Hubs are the classic towns; Forever's roughly 1,000 new quests may add more. Levels 30–60 open at launch on 4 November, so expect this table to change.

    Waylight and this page are free. If a route saved you an evening, the occasional coffee keeps updates coming.
