WoW Forever’s latest beta build raises the level cap to 30 and adds Excavation Site: Wetlands, according to Wowhead’s report. The same report lists dungeon access, class updates, camping changes, and bug fixes.

What the beta patch changes

The new dungeon is Excavation Site: Wetlands, listed for levels 26–31. Players can also access Razorfen Downs at 25+ and Uldaman at 30+, alongside the dungeons already available in the report, including Hall of Thanes, Ruins of Lordaeron, Gnomeregan, and Scarlet Monastery.

The update adds barbershops in Darnassus and Thunder Bluff, with barbers now working at all listed barbershops. City guards can direct players to them.

Camping receives several adjustments. The Boosted Rest debuff has a clearer icon and tooltip, camping text now uses “mutually exclusive,” and campfires no longer damage players below level 5. They also deal reduced damage to players below 90% health.

Savory Whimsyfin Delight now uses an orc version of the Ninja and Pirate outfits associated with Savory Deviate Delight. The report also says an uncollected BoE appearance becomes soulbound when sold to a vendor, rather than Bound to Account.

Class and technical updates

The notes list changes for every class, but the supplied report text only exposes part of that list. The visible changes include Druid adjustments to Rage generation, Swipe scaling, shapeshift Disarm immunity, and the removal of Tiger’s Fury. Feral Druids receive Shifting Power and Improved Shifting Power talents.

Hunter changes include a revised Sniper Shot, updated Survival talent values, and the return of Aggressive Mode for pets. Mage changes rename Hot Streak to Heating Up, return Combustion to three charges, and adjust how several fire and frost effects check resistance. Paladin protection changes lower Redoubt’s block values while increasing Holy Shield’s chance to block.

Bug fixes include improved rain visibility, removal of the temporarily broken Ray Traced Shadows option, a fix for Night Watchman’s Torch lag and cancellation, and adjustments to weapon display size across races.

What this means for WoW Forever players

Players testing the beta can now progress to level 30, run the newly listed Wetlands dungeon, and use Razorfen Downs or Uldaman where their characters meet the stated access levels. Class talent and ability changes may also affect testing plans, particularly for Druids, Hunters, Mages, and Paladins.

The evidence remains a Wowhead report and an incomplete readable snapshot of its patch-note text. It establishes the changes listed above as reported observations, but it does not establish the final launch state, a complete class-by-class changelog, balance intent, or beta wipe and carry-over rules.
