So, you’ve rolled your new WoW Forever character and completed all of the quests in your starting zone, but how do you decide where to go next? Unlike Retail, Forever zones don’t scale with your level, and instead have specific level ranges. Here are all of Forever’s zones by level so you can plan your journey through Azeroth!
Starting and Secondary Zones
Each race has its own starting zone, which is then followed up by an adjacent secondary zone. If you are playing with a friend, or just prefer a different zone, you can also travel to another zone of the appropriate level to quest there instead.
