RaceSkyborne · WindshaperSkyborne Druids earn their forms through a different start on Zephras Isle. This Horde WoW Forever route covers the island Bear Form quest, Moonglade, and the Windborne cat before joining the Barrens route to 30. Form and healing rewards, trainers, reagents, and four builds using the current tree are included. Finish the island class business before moving on.
What to install from CurseForge for Forever: the useful and the fun
Small things about your route, mobs, mana, and speed that add up to hours over a whole leveling run
Pick a build for 10-30 and follow its point order
You get your first point at 10, then another each level. I'd follow Feral Combat: Cat for ordinary solo questing. Beta resets cost 1 if you haven't reset recently, so you can use a Bear build until 20 and move the points afterward. At launch, a respec costs 1 gold or more. If you want that Bear-to-Cat reset at 20, save at least 1 gold by 20. Otherwise you'll have to keep your current points for a while. Hover a talent for its tooltip. The calculator button opens the same build and point order.
Ferocity to make 
Maul and 
Claw cheaper. At 15-17, 
Furor 3/5: since November 2 it sits in Feral instead of 
Heart of the Wild. Shift out of Cat to heal, and you come back with part of your energy. At 18-19, 
Feral Swiftness initially gives your Bear +4% dodge. Once you get Cat at 20, it gives +30% movement speed, even indoors in Forever. Take 
Blood Frenzy at 25-26 for extra combo points on crits, then 
Leader of the Pack at 30 for +3% group crit while you're in form.
Lacerate.Claw, so an upgrade matters even when you can't see it in your paws.Leader of the Pack gives the Druid crit too. Check that at 30. If Forever's version doesn't, I'd take Furor 4/5 instead.

Leader of the Pack 1/1Furor 5/5 by 19 and Lacerate at 25. I'd choose this if you spend a lot of time in dungeons.Furor 5/5 by 19 (Bear starts with 10 rage on shifting; since November 2 the talent sits in Feral instead of Heart of the Wild). At 20, 
Feral Charge adds a charge that interrupts, and Lacerate at 25 becomes your main threat button: on November 2 it replaced 
Primal Bite in row 4. For solo Cat fights, you still get help from 
Sharpened Claws, 
Savage Fury, and Blood Frenzy.Feral Swiftness, so Cat runs slower. It also hits less hard than the main build before 25.
Thick Hide for 
Feral Instinct 3/3 at 28-30. Your 
Swipe then hits 30% harder.Ferocity 5/5Furor 5/5Feral Charge 1/1Savage Fury 2/2Sharpened Claws 2/2

Thick Hide 3/3Furor (since November 2) has nothing to do with spell 
Wrath. It lets you leave Cat to heal and return with the energy you had, while Bear starts with 10 rage. At 22-26, Heart of the Wild 5/5: it moved to Restoration on November 2 and gives more Intellect, plus Strength in Cat. At 27-29, 
Natural Shapeshifter cuts shifting costs by 30%.Ferocity 5/5Furor 5/5Feral Swiftness 2/2

Improved Entangling Roots, roots deal 75% more damage and survive longer, giving room for 2-3 casts of Wrath. Then 
Nature's Reach brings your range to 36 yards.Wrath still hit noticeably less hard than Classic after the buff, and mana goes quickly. Balance's one new button before 30 is

Sun Rock Retreat:
Didn't work? Keep the quest: you're back here at 27 (step), and by then Besseleth is doable solo.
Mirkfallon Lake : 10 Gaea Seeds by the water - Cycle of Rebirth[23]. On the way back, west of the Retreat - Pocket Litter : turn in ?Stepping Stones[24] (the reward is Old Toolbox, a 12-slot bag), accept !Scramble[24]; Mound of Dirt nearby - turn in ?Scramble[24].

Level 22: Teleport: Moonglade → Loganaar: 
Soothe Animal, new ranks of Moonfire, Wrath and Rejuvenation. Hearthstone → the Crossroads.
Shred only works from behind - open fights with it without leaving stealth (Prowl). Want another 6-7 thousand experience and the Zoram'gar flight path? First stop by western Ashenvale (optional) and do this step from there. Leveling without a group? Be sure to go: you won't have any dungeon quests, and the experience will come in handy.
New Forever quests and the Zoram'gar flight path
About 6-7 thousand experience and the Zoram'gar flight path (useful for Blackfathom Deeps). Skipping it now? You'll get the flight path at 28.
From Windshear Crag - Talondeep Path → Ashenvale.
Va'xug Firefure : accept !Never Coming Back[22] - 6 stags and 6 bears around (Never Coming Back[22]). Turn in ?Never Coming Back[22], accept !A Void Path[22] and lead Eye of Kilrogg to the road (A Void Path[22]) - turn in ?A Void Path[22] right there.

From Zoram'gar - teleport to the trainer and hearth to the Crossroads.
The road, the zeppelin and the quests for two dungeons
Walk to Orgrimmar, then take the zeppelin to Undercity. Collect the Ruins of Lordaeron and Shadowfang Keep quests there right away. Dungeons are done in a group of five: no group - don't take The Wrath of Rath'mael[22], Light's Justice[22], The New Plague[22], and The Book of Ur[26], or they'll just sit in your log. Without a group you'll fall about 2 levels behind: going by beta data, the dungeon quests at 22-29 are worth about 75 thousand experience. The optional branches make up part of it - the southern Barrens at 29 and the backup quests in Thousand Needles (step). If you skipped western Ashenvale, you can do its new quests at 27 too (step). Make up the rest by killing mobs along the way.
Maul ≈ 110 (level 21) and 
Long Staff ≈ 99 (level 20) - if you're still hitting with a weapon under 15 DPS.Huge Brown Sack for ≈ 10, but you'll get two bags like that from quests - Old Toolbox (at 22) and 
Spidersilk Pouch (at 29).From the Crossroads, take the road north, across the bridge into Durotar, to the gates of Orgrimmar.
Haven't turned in Chol'aruk the Ravener[21]? Chol'aruk stands northeast of the Crossroads, not far from this road. Killed him? Go back to the Crossroads before you leave the Barrens (turn it in to Gur'ak). Still no luck? Abandon the quest: the replacement is 
Gnarled Necromancer's Staff from the Ruins of Lordaeron (step), or without a group, Maul from a vendor in Undercity.
Orgrimmar: Doras - flight path. The zeppelin tower outside the gates has two zeppelins. Frezza sends you to Undercity - that's yours. Snurk Bucksquick sends you to Grom'gol (Stranglethorn Vale) - not that one.
Not sure? Talk to the zeppelin master: he'll tell you where his zeppelin goes.
The zeppelin lands in Tirisfal, not far from Undercity. There's a guard post by the road to the capital: Deathguard Kristof - accept !The Wrath of Rath'mael[22].
Undercity: Michael Garrett - flight path; Innkeeper Norman - set your hearthstone in Undercity.
Undercity:
Walk to Silverpine: from Undercity take the road southwest through Tirisfal to the Sepulcher. You can only get the Sepulcher flight path by reaching it on foot.
The Sepulcher, Ambermill and a pendant half at the bottom of the sea
This is your first time here, but skip the forest's early quests: they give little experience now, and the Ambermill chain starts at level 10. Take the level 20-22 quests around the Sepulcher and the second pendant half for Aquatic Form.
Melon Juice ≈ 1, water from level 15. Keep the second pendant half to finish the Aquatic Form chain.
Wool Cloth from Dalaran Mages and refugees - for Wool Bandages, sell the extra at the auction house.The Sepulcher : Karos Razok - flight path.
The Sepulcher:
The northwest shore, north of the Sepulcher: according to the wiki, a Strange Lockbox lies on the bottom west of the shipwreck . It holds 
Half Pendant of Aquatic Endurance - the second half for Trial of the Sea Lion[16].
It's deep here and you don't have Aquatic Form yet: watch your breath bar; there should be a crevice with air at the bottom. You can only join the halves at the Shrine of Remulos in Moonglade - that's at 26.
Ambermill: 8 Dalaran Wizards and 8 Dalaran Watchers - Watching the Roads[20].
The Dalaran Spellscribe (rare, level 21) freezes you and calls for help; protectors summon snakes.
Beren's Peril : 6 Ravenclaw Drudgers and 6 Ravenclaw Guardians - Beren's Peril[21].
They drop a Note Scrap - it starts The Offering Stone[23], a new Forever chain. Don't start it: it isn't part of the route, and its last fight is elite.
Pyrewood Village : 5 Haggard Refugees and 5 Sickly Refugees - Stop the Spread[20].
The Sepulcher: Dalar Dawnweaver - turn in ?Stop the Spread[20]; Shadow Priest Allister - turn in ?Watching the Roads[20] and ?Beren's Peril[21].
Silverpine dungeon · with a group
According to beta data, dungeon quests in Forever give 2-3 times more experience than regular ones - the keep's three quests are worth it. No group for the keep, but you have one for the Ruins of Lordaeron? Fly from the Sepulcher to Undercity (step). No group for either? Go from the Sepulcher straight to Hillsbrad (step), and learn the level 24 abilities together with the level 26 ones (step).

The Sepulcher, Dalar Dawnweaver: turn in ?Arugal Must Die[27] - take 
Seal of Sylvanas: +8 Stamina and +6 attack power.
The Sepulcher, Karos Razok: fly to Undercity. The Ruins of Lordaeron are in the ruins of the capital right above it.
The level 24 trainer comes after the Ruins (step): you'll definitely be 24 by then.
A new Forever dungeon right above Undercity
A group of five, six bosses in any order. The quests are level 21-22, and dungeon quests in Forever give 2-3 times the experience of normal ones - one of the most rewarding stops in 20-30. No group for the Ruins, but you did Shadowfang Keep? In Undercity, turn in The Book of Ur[26], teleport to Loganaar in Moonglade for the level 24 abilities, hearth back (step) and fly to the Sepulcher (step).

After the Ruins you'll definitely be 24; if not, don't waste your hearthstone - learn the level 24 abilities together with the level 26 ones (step). Don't look for 
Tiger's Fury at the trainer: it was removed in the October 1 beta patch. According to beta feedback, Rake is expensive for its damage: Claw is better on regular mobs, so save the bleed for mobs that live longer.
Michael Garrett: fly to the Sepulcher. Tabitha Heartweaver - turn in ?A Frightened Request[22].
The road southeast into Hillsbrad Foothills: Deathstalker Lesh at the border - accept !Time To Strike[20]. Then follow the road east to Tarren Mill.

What to learn, which form to fight in and what to hit with - up to level 30
Claw deals 140% weapon damage (since November 2, was 110%). Potions and most consumables work in form, and you can't be disarmed while shifted. Learn Nature's Grasp at 10 and Omen of Clarity at 20 from the trainer. The new Revive at 12 gives an out-of-combat resurrection. Your Wrath costs half as much but hits less hard, Tiger's Fury is gone, and the old powershifting loop doesn't work here.For 1-9, pull with Moonfire and use staff swings up close. Keep Thorns and Mark of the Wild active. From 10-20, use Bear, starting with Enrage and spending rage on Maul swings. Add Demoralizing Roar for two mobs and Swipe for three from 16. Once you get Cat at 20, use Prowl to approach and Claw to build 4-5 combo points. Against three or more, return to Bear and use Demoralizing Roar and Swipe. Better yet, root part of the pack before pulling.
