How this route was calculated

Recipes, skill thresholds and reagents are from the WoW Forever beta client, build 1.60.1.70205. Costs are by material tier, not gold. Trainer learn levels are not in client data, so recipes are assumed learnable at yellow — real craft counts are usually a little lower. Steps marked “recipe item” need a recipe from a vendor or drop. Beta data can change before launch. Method and other professions.

Before you buy anything for Forever

Levelling 1–60 takes about 150 hours of play by community estimates, and Blizzard has announced no WoW Token and no paid boost for Forever. These are the prices other sellers are already taking pre-orders at.

Market prices: pre-order listings on lfcarry.com, wowvendor.com, skycoach.gg, kingboost.net and others, checked 2 October 2026. Our own rates go up when realms open — no one can deliver Forever gold before 4 November.
