What changes in Forever

The loot was reworked:

  • Rockslicer lets you mine copper, tin, silver and iron without knowing Mining (30 charges).
  • The First Mate Band ring, from Mr. Smite, forms the Partners in Crime set with a level 60 epic ring whose source is still to be confirmed.
  • The Defias Leather set was updated.

Tips

  1. Aim for level 19: hard from 14, easy at 24.
  2. If you don't mine, Rockslicer is a good reason to run the dungeon.
  3. Pick up the dungeon quests before your first run: they give most of the experience.
Forever dungeon rulesThe same in every instance
  • Monsters give less experience and dungeon quests much more: your first run pays the most
  • An item nobody looted in the instance is mailed to you afterwards
  • When a rare item drops, the whole group unlocks its appearance for transmog (not in raids, not for epic items)
  • Meeting stones no longer summon: a list-based group finder replaces them
