WoW : Your Beta Bucket List
| # | What to Try | Why It’s Worth Your Time |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Brand-new dungeons | New challenges and rewards, scattered through the early game |
| 2 | Skyborne Elf starting zone | The full starting area is playable in the beta |
| 3 | New race/class combos | Fresh pairings you can’t roll on Classic |
| 4 | Reworked talents | Paladins, Survival Hunters and Enhancement Shamans got notable upgrades |
| 5 | Little surprises | The camping system, plus quirks like the Wailing Caverns armor that turns you into a giant snake |
Why These Five?
Dungeons first. Running new instances with friends is the beta’s best moment. The Excavation Site, for example, is a level 26-31 dungeon in the center of the Wetlands. You’ll also get a feel for the loot before launch.

Roll a Skyborne Elf. Even if you never main one, the starting zone is worth a visit. It’s also a good way to see how much new content Blizzard has added beyond vanilla Azeroth.
Test your favorite class. If your main always felt a bit neglected, this is your chance to check whether the talent changes fix that. Weaker classes may finally feel relevant.
Don’t skip the small stuff. Camping, quirky gear and side quests are what give Forever its own personality. Those tiny details are often what people remember most.
A Quick Tip
Beta progress usually doesn’t carry over, so treat it as a playground. Try builds you’d never commit to, and note what you enjoy so you can plan your launch-day class.
