Tips
Practical tips for World of Warcraft: Forever. Confirmed tips come straight from Blizzard articles or blue posts. Community tips come from players, so test them yourself.
Hunters running out of mana at level 30
Beta Hunters report going out of mana every pull. Suggestions from the thread: don't spam Arcane or Multi-Shot on cooldown, skip Serpent Sting on mobs that die fast, use Legacy regen perks, and carry mana potions. Several players expect it to ease at higher levels.
Resto Shaman can level solo
One player says leveling purely as Restoration Shaman from 10 to 30 felt strong, pushing back on guides that call Resto weak solo. This is one person's experience, but it's worth a try if you want to heal in dungeons.

Fury Warrior leveling: start with a two-hander
GamePelt's leveling guide recommends Fury Warriors use a two-handed weapon early and covers talents and ability priority for levels 1-30, including when to switch to dual wield.

Dungeon XP now follows your own level
After a fix, kill XP in dungeons uses your level relative to the mobs instead of the highest-level member's, and base kill XP is up 20%. Grouping with slightly higher-level friends no longer tanks your XP.

Darkspear Islands battleground basics
15v15, levels 30-60. Holding more of the four capture points scores faster, and carrying the middle flag to a base your team owns adds bonus points. First team to 2,000 wins.

Can't find the Fishing spell?
Players found the answer: open the Professions window (not the Fishing tab), drag the Fishing icon to your action bar, equip a pole, add a lure, and click the bobber when it splashes. A /cast Fishing macro also works.
Never accept gold from strangers
Blizzard now takes action against buyers and recipients of real-money gold, not just sellers, from removing the gold up to closing accounts. Decline one-sided trades and 'gifts' from people you don't know.

Plan for the new 16-point talent
Talents start at level 10 in a tree that looks familiar, but there's a new milestone talent at 16 points on top of the 11/21/31 ones. Expect builds that differ from 1.12 guides.
How to unlock the Legacy System early
You get your first Legacy Point, and access, when a character hits level 25, reaches 150 in a non-gathering primary profession, or explores the whole world map. Open it with the shield icon or the Y key.

Pick your ruleset carefully
Rulesets (Normal, PvP, Hardcore and others) replace realms, and Blizzard says moving between them is deliberately limited. Agree on one with your friends or guild before launch.

Grab a name pair, not just a name
Only your full first + second name has to be unique in your region, so a taken first name may still work with a different second name. Want a cleaner look? Options > Nameplates > untick 'My Secondary Name'.
Check your GPU before launch day
Forever needs at least AMD GCN 1, NVIDIA Maxwell or Intel Skylake graphics. On Windows, check under Settings > System > Display > Advanced display, or in Device Manager > Display adapters.
