1,795 new quests, six new flight points and a salvage system: what the Forever client says about the world

The datamine coverage so far has gone where the loot is — tier sets, set bonuses, Legacy Points. The world section of build 1.60.1.69876 is less glamorous and arguably more informative, because it describes the part of Forever you will spend most of your time in.

As always: unreleased test client data from daybreakforever.com. Nothing here is announced, and plenty of it will change.

1,795 new quests

That is the headline number, and it needs context. Not every one of those is a hand-authored story quest — the count includes tracking quests, hidden state flags and the 150 Craftsman’s Writs described below. But even discounting heavily, it is a very large amount of new quest data for a game whose overworld already exists.

Three questlines are named outright:

Questline	Quests
Toxic Soil	11
PvP Season Journey	10
To Have Loved and Lost	1

PvP Season Journey is the one to watch — a ten-quest chain under a name that implies seasonal, repeatable structure, which is not how Classic PvP has ever worked.

Three new quest categories also appear: The High Order, Camping and Night Elf. Camping has been discussed publicly as a Forever system; seeing it get its own quest category suggests it comes with content attached rather than being a standalone campfire toy.

63 items that start quests

The client lists 63 quest-starter items — drops that open a quest when you loot them. Most are exactly the kind of thing Classic used sparingly: Humongous Crystal (“a fist-sized hunk of crystal with a pale blue luster”), Forgotten Ashes (“all that remains of a terrible thing”), Nibbled-On Book, Croaky’s Head, Elmpaw’s Head, Feathered Charm Necklace.

Alongside them, five zones carry clusters of quests flagged with map markers: Tanaris (10), Westfall (8), Stormwind City (5), Elwynn Forest (2) and Mount Hyjal (1). Tanaris and Westfall leading that list is a strong hint about which old zones got the most attention.

Where you can fly

Six new flight points, and their names double as a zone list:

• Farholde Keep, Riverglades
• Powderfuse Port, Riverglades
• Rog’mar, Riverglades
• Summit of Eternity, Mount Hyjal
• Tainted Foothills, Mount Hyjal
• Tidegear Coast, Dun Morogh

Three flight points in Riverglades is the notable part. A zone does not get three of them unless it is large and you are expected to move around it a lot. The client’s group finder data agrees, listing Riverglades as a new Eastern Kingdoms entry alongside Mount Hyjal and Zephras Isle.

Four currencies that do not belong to Classic

Five currencies are in the data, and only Honor Points (capped at 15,000) is familiar:

• Tarnished Undermine Real — capped at 165, described as a currency “slowly being phased out of circulation” that still trades well in goblin towns across both continents. Blizzard confirmed these are coming during the Q&A.
• Merchant’s Favor — an interim currency among high-traffic merchant organisations, tradeable with the Durotar Supply and Logistics or the Azeroth Commerce Authority. Two organisations that do not exist in Classic.
• Rank Points — earned from tasks in Gadgetzan and from battlegrounds, feeding PvP Rank and unlocking purchases. A PvP progression currency with a neutral-city PvE faucet is a genuine structural change.
• Darkmoon Prize Ticket — for winning games and doing favours at the Darkmoon Faire.

Waylaid Crates and the salvage system

The most concrete new system in the world data is salvage. Waylaid Crates appear in tiers — Apprentice Herbs, Apprentice Ore, Apprentice Textiles, Apprentice Curiosities, with Journeyman versions above them, 30 crate types in all. You fill a crate with the materials it asks for and hand it in.

The reward tables behind it are skill-gated:

Skill	Minimum	Possible rewards
(any)	—	150 Craftsman’s Writs
(any)	—	129 raw materials
Alchemy	220	93 items
Cooking	1	63 + 25 items
Comprehension	1 / 15 / 50 / 175	4–5 items per tier

Two things stand out. Alchemy at 220 is a high bar — this is endgame profession content, not a levelling aid. And Comprehension is not a Classic skill at all; it appears here with four separate skill thresholds, which means it levels like a profession.

The 150 Craftsman’s Writs are the volume play: Craftsman’s Writ: Elixir of Ogre’s Strength, Shadow Protection Potion, Free Action Potion and so on. A writ system at that scale turns professions into a daily-style loop rather than a one-time levelling grind.

Transmog has a vendor network

46 areas carry appearance vendors, and the distribution is revealing. Searing Gorge (196 appearances), Silithus (194) and Eastern Plaguelands (194) lead — endgame zones, stocked deepest. The PvP halls follow: Champions’ Hall (146) and Hall of Legends (145), both loaded with Tier 1 PvP reward sets per class.

Then Riverglades at 112 appearances across six vendors, ahead of Orgrimmar (93) and Stormwind (77). A brand-new zone out-stocking both capitals says a lot about how central it is meant to be.

A note on paladin and warlock mounts

A small detail with an outsized implication. Eight mount requirement strings survive in the client, and they still gate class mounts behind the old quest chains: A Trusty Steed, The Tome of Nobility, Judgment and Redemption and Justice and Retribution for paladins; Summon Felsteed and Dreadsteed of Xoroth for warlocks. Two more tie rings and a mount to reputation with the Guardians of Hyjal and The Watchers.

Forever is not flattening the class mount quests. It is keeping them — and adding new reputations with the same gating pattern.
