Warlock training quick facts
- Total: 147 ranks, 142g 82s for levels 1-60 (per Wowhead's Forever trainer page for Demisette Cloyce in Stormwind).
- Why it costs less than other classes: Blizzard's launch notes put every class at about 206-207 gold. The Warlock total was lowered by the expected cost of pet Grimoires, so the money you save at the trainer goes to Grimoires instead.
- New spells: none.
- New ranks: Conflagrate rank 2 (32), Curse of the Elements rank 4 (50), Incinerate rank 2 (50) and rank 3 (60). Rank 1 of Conflagrate and Incinerate comes from talents.
- Learned earlier: Curse of the Elements rank 1 at 20 (was 32), rank 2 at 30 (was 46), rank 3 at 40 (was 60).
- Renamed: Curse of Agony is now Bane of Agony, Curse of Doom is now Bane of Doom, and Detect Lesser/Greater Invisibility is now Detect Invisibility. The Healthstone, Soulstone, Firestone and Spellstone spells lost their "Minor/Lesser/Greater/Major" suffixes.

What changed on Warlock spells compared with Classic?
Most damage ranks have lower base numbers than in Classic, per Wowhead. For example, Corruption ranks 2-6 are down about 28 to 51 percent, Shadow Bolt ranks 2-9 about 15 to 53 percent, and Searing Pain about 37 to 53 percent. Shadowburn now has 30 yards of range instead of 20.
Base values are not the whole picture. Blizzard's launch notes say class damage went up across the game, Life Tap now scales with Spirit, and pets scale with the Warlock's stats. Treat the percentages as a comparison between ranks, not as a verdict that the class is weaker.

What are Banes in WoW: Forever?
Banes are the renamed Curse of Agony and Curse of Doom. Each Warlock can keep one Bane on a target, separate from their curse. That means Bane of Agony and Curse of the Elements can both run on the same target from level 20, which is why the earlier Curse of the Elements matters for groups.
Which Warlock spells come from talents instead of the trainer?
Conflagrate and Incinerate start from talents. Conflagrate is the Destruction 16-point milestone, and Incinerate is the 31-point milestone, which requires Bane of Havoc. Once you have the talent, later ranks are sold at the trainer: Conflagrate from 32 and Incinerate at 50 and 60.
Do Warlock pets and mounts come from the trainer?
Pet abilities come from Grimoires, which is why the Warlock's training total is lower than other classes'. For the mount, a November 9 hotfix made completing the Summon Felsteed quest also grant riding skill. Players who had already finished it get Apprentice Riding by summoning the Felsteed once.
If you would rather spend your time on endgame than on the trip to 60, PewPewShop can help: a vetted human player levels your Warlock for you, by stage or by the hour from from 10 EUR.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to train all Warlock spells in WoW Forever?
Per Wowhead's Forever trainer data, all 147 Warlock ranks from level 1 to 60 cost 142g 82s in total. That is less than the roughly 206-207 gold other classes pay, because Blizzard lowered Warlock training by the expected cost of pet Grimoires, which you buy separately.
Does the Warlock get any new spells in WoW Forever?
No new baseline spells come from the Warlock trainer. Forever adds new trainer ranks instead: Conflagrate rank 2 at 32, Curse of the Elements rank 4 at 50, and Incinerate ranks 2 and 3 at 50 and 60. Conflagrate and Incinerate themselves are learned through Destruction talents.
When do Warlocks get Curse of the Elements in WoW Forever?
Curse of the Elements rank 1 is trained at level 20 instead of 32. Rank 2 comes at 30, rank 3 at 40, and a new rank 4 at 50. In Forever it covers all magic damage, and Curse of Shadows was removed, so it is the main group curse for Warlocks.
Why is Curse of Agony called Bane of Agony in WoW Forever?
Forever turned Curse of Agony and Curse of Doom into Banes. Each Warlock can keep one Bane on a target, and Banes do not take the curse slot. So a Warlock can run Bane of Agony and a curse such as Curse of the Elements on the same enemy at once.
Do new spell ranks replace old ones on the action bar in WoW Forever?
Not automatically. Since launch, newly learned spells are not added to action bars, and casters may keep the old rank on the bar after buying a new one. The spellbook hides lower ranks by default, so drag the new rank onto your bar after every trainer visit.
