Welcome to Azeroth After Dark! I'm Grukk, Morwen Ashgrave and Durgan Stoutbrew, and we've got eight stories tonight, so buckle up! Here's what's coming up: New Abilities For Hunter, Mage, Earn the Best Bow in the Game, Every Quest in Excavation Site and more. Leading off, new Abilities for Hunter, Mage, and Paladin in WoW Forever. And I'm Morwen Ashgrave, professional skeptic. Let's see if this survives contact with the facts.
And I'm Durgan Stoutbrew, the old dwarf on the couch. Blizzard released the second part of their series, going over all of the newest Class Abilities in WoW Forever. Let's go! Their most recent video details all of the changes coming to the Hunter, Mage, and Paladin classes! Then there is this. Earn the best Bow in the game before Blizzard changes it. Icy Veins reports that previously in the beta, one of the best ways to earn a Ring and Necklace at level 20 was to donate books in either Stormwind or Undercity.
But the Truthseeker's Bow does not currently have a level requirement, making it the best possible ranged weapon in the game at level 30. Next, Every quest in Excavation Site, Wetlands. Wowhead reports that Excavation Site: Wetlands is a new dungeon in WoW Forever, and it brings new quests. Didn't see that coming. Despite the experience earned from Dungeon Quests being nerfed with the latest Beta Build, they are still definitely worth picking up while you are leveling to 30, not just for faster leveling but for some gear too.
Also tonight, WoW Forever is turning Scarlet Monastery Junk loot into Real Gear. What do we know, Durgan Stoutbrew? Icy Veins reports that the level cap on the Beta for World of Warcraft Forever has been raised to 30, and people have already started clearing the Scarlet Monastery dungeons. Right, and according to Icy Veins, that's as much as they have confirmed so far, but this weekend will surely continue to reveal more updated and new items from the Scarlet Monastery dungeons.
Another one for you. Goblin barbers will be replaced in a future WoW Forever build. According to Icy Veins, as part of this week's WoW Forever beta update, Blizzard added new Goblin barbershops to the cities of Darnassus and Thunder Bluff! Interesting. The vibes just aren't quite right, so I'll change the barbers to be city-relevant races where they are currently goblins in a future build. Johnny Cash, QuestTheLine, October 2, 2026.
Moving on, Necklace rewards from collecting books nerfed to Uncommon quality in WoW Forever. According to Wowhead, early in the WoW Forever Beta, players realised that they could hand in books discovered around the World to their Faction Librarian, no matter their class. That's a good one! The reward for 20 books has also been amended, reducing its item level from 40 to 35, but removing the class restriction.
Moving on, Veteran players Share what they wish they Knew before WoW Forever. Icy Veins reports that WoW Forever is set to bring together an incredibly diverse mix of players. Makes sense to me. WoW Forever is bringing together longtime players, returning players, and complete newcomers like me! Last one tonight. Stitches is Currently neutral, but will Terrorize Duskwood again soon in WoW Forever. What's the story, Durgan Stoutbrew?
According to Wowhead, Stitches is notorious for killing unsuspecting players in Duskwood, but right now, he's a little calmer than normal, Blizzard confirmed that this is a bug and will be fixed. That's the kind of fix nobody notices until it's gone. Since the latest WoW Forever beta build, though, Stitches has been noticeably. Nicer. That's the headlines. Tonight's stories came from Icy Veins and Wowhead, and the full posts are linked with this episode.
This has been Azeroth After Dark! See you next time, Azeroth!
