Experience required per level in WoW: Forever is identical to Classic. A table datamined from the beta looked like it showed reduced XP thresholds, and Wowhead published it — then retracted it after Blizzard clarified that the numbers per level are unchanged. So there is no new XP table to learn. What is genuinely different is how quickly you earn that XP.

- XP required per level: same as Classic, 1 through 60. No rescaling, no squish.
- Level cap: 60, permanently — Forever adds content in patches, not expansions, so there is no cap creep to plan around.
- Retracted claim: a beta-datamined XP table suggesting lower requirements; pulled after Blizzard's clarification (per Wowhead, beta week 1).
- Faster, not shorter: Legacy's Adventure tree has Well Rested — more rested XP and a higher rested cap. Leatherworking's campsite buff grants rested XP worth up to 5% of a level. Crafted food gives a small XP bonus on top.
- No level scaling anywhere in Forever, so zones keep fixed level bands: Zephras Isle 1–12, the Riverglades 30–45.
- Beta caveat: the beta cap started at 20 and has been 30 since October 1, so nobody has levelled the full curve yet in a live build.
Why did people think the XP curve had been lowered?
Beta clients carry data tables that tools read directly, and those tables are not always what ships or always what they appear to be. A row set that looked like per-level XP requirements was read as a reduction, spread fast, and then Blizzard said plainly that the requirement per level matches Classic. That is the whole story — a datamining misread, not a reverted design change.
It is a useful reminder for the rest of the beta: datamined mount counts, rank rewards and item tables are all subject to change until Blizzard publishes them.
So is levelling in Forever faster than Classic or not?
Likely somewhat faster in practice, while the underlying numbers stay put. Rested XP is boosted through Legacy perks that carry across your account, a campfire buff can bank rested XP worth a chunk of a level, and crafted food adds a trickle. None of that touches the XP table; it just fills the bar sooner.
There is also more to level through: three new zones, 1,000+ new quests and nine new dungeons mean fewer dead stretches where you are grinding mobs because the quests ran out.
What actually speeds up levelling in Forever?
Rested XP is the big lever, and Forever gives you two ways to feed it. Well Rested in the Adventure branch of the Legacy tree raises both the rate and the cap. Camping is the other: sit at a player campfire for a minute and you pick up the objects other players crafted into it — the Leatherworking one grants rested XP, others give stats. Campfires last 10 minutes on a one-hour cooldown and cannot be placed in cities.
Talents also arrive earlier — the Legacy perk Talented grants talent points from level 9, though the 51-point maximum is unchanged.
Does any of this apply to the beta right now?
Partly. The beta opened September 17 with a level 20 cap that rose to 30 on October 1. Camping unlocks through the early quest "The Great Outdoors", so the buffs are testable. Anything above 30 — the full curve, the 45–60 stretch, the endgame dungeons — was untested until launch on November 4 at 3 p.m. Pacific.
