ForeverDB

WoW Forever leveling route

Where to go at each level and which quests are worth it, from how ForeverDB players really level: the zones that give the most XP an hour, how long each level takes, and what the fastest players do.

Until ForeverDB players' leveling comes in, each level shows the zones whose level range suits it (an estimate). From launch on 4 November 2026, the ForeverDB addon times each level and the quests players hand in, and this page shows the zones and quests that really work best.

Levels 1 to 10 happen in your race's starting area: the starting guides have a step-by-step guide for each race and class.

How it works

The ForeverDB addon times each of your levels (only while you play: not while you're away, dead or resting in a city or inn), notes the zones you spend it in and the order you hand your quests in, under a random code for each character. Never a name, a realm or where you are. A zone's XP an hour is the median of the players who spent most of that level there; one player's numbers show as Not confirmed.
