Guide
Levels 20 to 30 in WoW Forever, planned: talent rows 4 and 5, each class's new spells, where Alliance and Horde should level, the class quests at 20 and 30, and which Legacy points you can already earn.
Getting from 20 to 30 costs double the experience you needed for your first twenty levels combined. They also open the heart of every talent tree, a new dungeon of Forever's own, and your first Legacy points.
Your 11 points at 20 reach row 3. Level 25 brings your 15th point in a tree, and with it row 4. Row 5 needs 20: your 21st point, at 30, lands there, and most trees keep a signature talent in that row.
Row 6 needs 25 points. You only reach it at 30 with the Legacy perk Talented, which makes talent points start earlier: five ranks give you 26 points at 30. Budget ten Legacy points for it: Well Rested has to be at 5/5 before Talented unlocks. Try your build in the .

2 dungeons in range at level 20
The Barrens. Druids: the snake-look set drops here.
Mages: Blade of Silverlaine.
New in Forever, open since October 1.
City of Dalaran (28 to 33) is coming, but not until a later update.
| Levels | Alliance · Horde |
|---|---|
| 20 to 22 | Redridge Mountains, from Lakeshire · The Barrens, from Camp Taurajo |
| 22 to 24 | Wetlands, from Menethil Harbor · Hillsbrad Foothills, from Tarren Mill |
| 24 to 28 | Duskwood, from Darkshire · Ashenvale, from Splintertree Post (to 27) |

Night elves can stay on Kalimdor a little longer: Stonetalon Mountains from 20 to 22 and Ashenvale from 20 to 24, then the boat from Auberdine to Menethil Harbor.
Keep the sleeping bag up. The Cozy Sleeping Bag gives 3% more experience for two hours; its chain is a good errand at 20 to 25.
Respawns are faster now. Since October 1, mobs and objects respawn faster in Hillsbrad, Ashenvale, the Wetlands, Duskwood and Thousand Needles.
Experience food. A few cooked foods raise the experience you get from kills for as long as their Well Fed buff lasts.
Legacy is Forever's account-wide perk system. Points come from challenges on any of your characters and buy perks every character shares. Your first point opens it.
Ten points buy Well Rested 5/5 (rested experience builds 20% faster, with a 20% higher cap) and then Talented 5/5 (26 talent points at 30). Plan yours in the Legacy planner. Claim Progress Track rewards from Innkeeper Wiley in Ratchet.
