RaceTaurenA step-by-step route for WoW Forever: where to go at every level, when to pick up the Bear, Cat and Aquatic Form quests, which Mulgore quests are new, what to hit things with in forms (in Forever your weapon decides it) and what to collect from the very first minutes.
What to install from CurseForge for Forever: the useful and the fun
Builds for 10–30: which one to pick and in what order to spend points
Your first talent point comes at level 10, then one per level. Not sure what to pick? Go “Feral Combat: Cat”. Hover a talent for its Wowhead tooltip; the button at the bottom opens the build in the Wowhead calculator with the same order. According to beta data, a talent reset at the trainer costs 1 if you haven't reset in a while: you can level as a bear until 20 and then move your points into the cat build.
Ferocity makes 
Maul and 
Claw cheaper; 
Feral Swiftness at 18–19 gives your bear +4% dodge for now, and from 20 your cat runs 30% faster - in Forever even indoors. 
Blood Frenzy at 25–26 gives you extra combo points from crits, and 
Leader of the Pack at 30 gives your group +3% crit while you're in form.
Primal Bite, so tanking dungeons is harder than with the bear build.Claw in forms deal weapon damage.Leader of the Pack also gave crit to the druid. If it doesn't in Forever, take 
Heart of the Wild 4/5 at 30 instead.
Ferocity 5/5
Heart of the Wild 3/5
Feral Swiftness 2/2
Sharpened Claws 2/2
Savage Fury 2/2

Predatory Strikes 3/3
Leader of the Pack 1/1Heart of the Wild 5/5 by level 19 and Primal Bite at 25. For those who run dungeons a lot.
Feral Charge at 20 - a charge that interrupts, Primal Bite at 25 - the main threat ability in Forever. Solo, your cat gets help from the same 
Sharpened Claws, 
Savage Fury and Blood Frenzy.Feral Swiftness - your cat runs slower, and until 25 it hits weaker than in the main build.
Feral Instinct 3/3 at 28–30 instead of 
Thick Hide - 
Swipe gets 30% stronger.Ferocity 5/5Heart of the Wild 5/5Feral Charge 1/1Savage Fury 2/2Sharpened Claws 2/2
Primal Bite 1/1Blood Frenzy 2/2

Furor (a Restoration talent, unrelated to the 
Wrath spell) - you shift out of Cat Form to heal and come back with the energy you had, and your bear starts with 10 rage. 
Natural Shapeshifter at 27–29 makes forms 30% cheaper.Ferocity 5/5

Improved Entangling Roots - roots hit 75% harder and don't break as fast: you get 2–3 casts of Wrath off; 
Nature's Reach - 36-yard range.Wrath at ranks 3–5 hits noticeably weaker than in Classic even after the buff, and your mana runs out fast. The only new button Balance gets before 30 is 
Insect Swarm at 25.

Ziz Fizziks: turn in ?Super Reaper 6000[21] and ?Gerenzo's Orders[22].

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.

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 damage per second.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.

The Sepulcher, Ambermill and a pendant half at the bottom of the sea
It's a tauren's 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.
Wool Cloth from Dalaran mages and refugees - for Wool Bandages, sell the extra at the auction house.The Sepulcher : Karos Razok - flight path.

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).

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], learn the level 24 abilities (step) and fly to the Sepulcher (step).
Ruins of Lordaeron with a group (5 players) - the entrance is in the ruins of the capital, immediately to the left as you enter Lordaeron: 25 Intact Limbs - Light's Justice[22]; Rath'mael - The Wrath of Rath'mael[22]; Witherfang drops the toxic strain - The New Plague[22]; Edward's fate - A Frightened Request[22], look for him in the same place as Rath'mael; The Baron drops an abomination head - it starts !Unending Torment[21]; somewhere inside you'll find a crest - !Crest of Lordaeron[22].

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].
