New zones, dungeons, raids and the Skyborne in World of Warcraft: Forever

Two kinds of fact on this page, kept apart. What Blizzard has announced, which is the only source for what the zones and instances are called. And what the Forever beta's item tables show, which is the only source anyone has for what they drop: the gear, the sets it forms, how it binds and who can wear it.

What Blizzard has announced

  • Three new zonesOn the original Azeroth, with more than 1,000 new quests.
  • Nine dungeons, two raidsAt launch, with the level cap kept at 60.
  • The SkyborneA new playable race, plus new race and class pairings including Forsaken Paladins and Dwarf Shamans.
  • November 4, 2026Launch, included with a subscription. The beta has run since September 17, 2026.

Source: Blizzard's BlizzCon 2026 announcement. The beta already names its dungeons and raids and their bosses; what each drops, and the quests, are what players have seen. Everything below is what the game already contains.

The endgame gear the game already carries

Dungeon and raid loot binds when picked up; gear meant to be traded binds when equipped. So the count of new bind-on-pickup rares and epics at level 55 and above is the size of the new instanced loot tables, whatever the instances are called.

326new epics that bind on pickupitem level 55 to 71, armor and weapons
358new rares that bind on pickupitem level 55 to 68, armor and weapons
42new epics that tradeitem level 61 to 65, armor and weapons

542 of the new items are usable by one class only, which is how class quest rewards and class sets are marked.

Every new armor piece · Every new weapon · All 4,909 new items

64 new item sets

An item set is the clearest signature content leaves in the item tables: pieces made to be worn together are made to drop from one place or be earned from one system. 60 of the new sets carry the names of PvP ranks, 359 pieces at item level 60 and 65, one set per class and armor type, which is the honor system's gear rebuilt for Forever. The other 4 are the ones to watch: they are the sets that do not come from the honor system.

Sets that are not PvP rank gear

A set links to one of its pieces; the piece's page lists the others. A set that binds on pickup drops; one that binds on equip is crafted or traded.

The Skyborne in Forever

Forever holds 25 internal weapon and shield templates named for the Skyborne. Templates like these are how the game equips a race's models, so they are evidence the race is in Forever and its models are being armed. The item tables do not carry a race's starting zone, abilities or class list, so this page does not claim them. It updates when a build adds Skyborne items a player can hold.

Player items that name the race: Skyborne Tabard.

How to read this page

Every number here is a count over Forever's item data, taken again each build, and the words around the numbers say what a binding or a set name means in this game. Nothing on this page is a leak and nothing is a guess; when a build adds gear, the counts move and the build changes page says exactly what moved.
