Finally We Are Bear
Finally getting the Druid's bear form in the World of Warcraft Forever beta. I kill a spirit's mad mate to earn the blessing, learn that bear form loses its rage on every shift, set up buff tracking for Rejuvenation and Moonfire, and then help hold a watchtower against the cult. I finish at level 11 with a full bag and a much better staff.
The goal this time is the Druid's bear form, and the quest for it is a grim one: the bear spirit asks me to put down his mate, who went mad and attacked her own family. With the blessing earned, I spend a long stretch working out how bear form actually plays, which turns out to mean losing all your rage every time you shift and not being able to cast Moonfire. Along the way I set up buff tracking for Rejuvenation and Moonfire, pick up a talent, and then help a besieged watchtower by killing healers, fighters and a cult commander. I reach level 11, with a full bag that needs selling.
Power and Mercy
The quest that unlocks bear form.
- The last episode ended with a quest from the spirit of Ysera that sent me to the bear spirit, whom the captions call Ursindras. I had already done the earlier steps, so I went straight up to him.
- He gives the quest Power and Mercy. His mate went mad and began attacking her own relatives, and he asks me to end her suffering to prove my strength of spirit.
- She is northwest of him in the highlands, and I picked up some crabs on the way for another quest, so I could do both at once.
- When I find her she has already killed the cubs. I said it was an eye for an eye, and that I was not sure how I felt about the quest.
- I got the blessing back at the spirit, and the bear form plus Growl and another ability came with it.
How Bear Form Plays
Trial and error on a new form.
- Shifting into bear form drops every ability I use as a caster. I took the stunned and root style spells off my bar, since I could not use them as a bear, a cat or anything else.
- I lose all my rage when I leave bear form. I called it a trade-off and said I did not feel a real penalty for switching.
- Growl taunts the target. A second ability boosts my next attack by 18 damage and costs 15 rage, and it does not trigger auto attack, as I read it.
- Moonfire does not work in bear form. A Reddit post said it did and a reply said it did not, and my test said no. I said I wish it did.
- The crabs still hurt in bear form, which was not the advantage I expected. Skinning a kill while shifted also dropped me out of the game once.
- A talent gives a 20% chance to gain 10 rage when you shift into bear form, and I decided I probably want it.
Buff Tracking and Talents
Setting up the interface and spending a point.
- I found a personal resource option with a swing timer and tracked buff strips. I added Rejuvenation and Moonfire to the strips with a right click, and it made the cast timing much clearer. I said I felt like I had just become a better player.
- The swing timer I found less useful, and later turned it back on as a helpful extra. My swing is every two seconds, and I wondered whether it can be sped up.
- The new talent point was a choice between Heart of the Wild and a cost reduction for some ability by one rage or energy. I took the cost reduction and said it was probably the wrong call.
- Rejuvenation healed for about 12 at this point, and my health was around 287.
- Moonfire hit for 27, 32, 33 and 35 over the episode, and the 27 was a critical.
- I like Wild Speed, which as I read the captions gives 15% more movement in cat form.
The Assassin Quest
Cleaning out a house for a peacemaker.
- A peacemaker tells me to stay quiet because the cult is near the border, and sends me into a house to the north to kill ten assassins.
- The cult name is garbled in the captions (something like Al'Kazzet), so I have left it out here.
- I handed it in for 875 experience, which I called a good chunk.
- The peacemaker says he will mention my persistence in his report.
The Watchtower
Holding off an attack on the high order's tower.
- I report to the high order's contact, who is angry about a messenger sent to the cult and returned as a box. He wants ten of the cult's windstone amulets.
- Another NPC sends me to the eastern watchtower, where the cult is attacking. The names of the lieutenants are garbled in the captions.
- I choose the reward that gives more stamina, and she tells me to go down the hill and cut the cult's logistics.
- I killed four healers and four fighters, and then the commander, whose name the captions render as Belaguaya.
- Healers are annoying because they heal themselves fully, so I kept my own healing ready and used Moonfire on them.
- Drop chances on the fighters felt low, and I needed about six more after one count. I hoped the zone would not level me out of the quest.
Bags, Vendors and the Trainer
Wrapping up at level 11.
- My inventory filled up several times. I deleted some low end food and rotten bread, and said bag space is the main limit right now.
- I reached level 11 and said I expect the next new ability at 12.
- The trainer offered Demoralizing Roar, which lowers enemy attack power and has a one minute cooldown, so I will not spam it. The level 12 abilities include a rage generating one, though I could not follow the captions on its details.
- The staff vendor sold a much better staff for 30 silver. I called it a huge damage improvement and sold off the junk and the mushrooms.
- I saw a two handed sword hit for a lot and noted it would be a big improvement if I could use it.
- Logging out kept my buffs, which was a nice surprise. I also had a freezing problem the night before while playing on Linux through Wine, but it was fine in the morning.
Getting Bear Form as a Druid
- Do the bear spirit's quest for the blessing. It means killing his mad mate in the highlands northwest of him.
- Kill the crabs on the way so a second quest advances at the same time.
- Take the rage on shift talent if you expect to spend time as a bear.
- Remove caster spells from the bar that you cannot use in bear form, and track Rejuvenation and Moonfire on buff strips.
- Remember that leaving bear form loses your rage, and that Moonfire does not work as a bear.
- Empty your bags before the watchtower quests so the loot does not stop you.

Hello and welcome back to World of Warcraft forever. Beta version. So today we’re going to try to knock out the bear shape and anything else we can knock out today. So , in the last episode we got a great quest from the spirit of Ysera, and he ordered us to come here, which I had already completed previously. So let’s go up here and see what he has to say. Here he is. Ursindras The Spirit of Strength does not always imply physical strength. Facing the enemy both within and without is what it means to take on my form. Good. So you want to take the path of the claw, child. Very well, let’s talk. A great piece of experience just for showing up. Okay, so we get the next quest, power and mercy. You came to take You came to me in the hope of learning to take the form of power. I have a task for you , although it weighs heavy on my heart. My friend, Erindra, went crazy and started attacking her relatives without warning. Many creatures began to destroy themselves. The wind is powerful, it poses a terrible threat to the fragile balance. It wanders through the Shindariv Highlands northwest of here. Show me that you have the strength of spirit to end her suffering, and I will give you my blessing. Okay, so we have to kill his wife. We are going to pick up a bear shape, a khala, and a shopping mall. Also another huge piece of experience. Okay, so let’s look at the little map here, see where it is. She, uh, she’s over there. So get over here. So while we’re at it , uh, we can pick up these crabs, because these crabs are needed for another quest, so we’ll do that at the same time. Double dipping, if you will. Yes, I had some problems last night when I tried to get back into the system after being logged out for a while . Um, the system was freezing and I thought it might be a problem with wine or something. Um, because I play on Linux, but, uh, everything was working fine this morning, so hopefully nothing breaks, so it keeps working on Linux through Wine, but I was definitely worried for a minute, it looked like some kind of timeout error during loading, because I was trying to load my paladin, give me some more. Okay, we have a robber, I guess we’ll just watch him come here . And he’s like two guys like that, he’s been completely crushed here, but of course he’ll run away. Okay, looks like we have another one of these guys, this one level nine , a little higher. Now I think she’ll be here somewhere, right? No. It’s still quite far away, so let’s make our way this way . The stun effect is quite, um, quite effective. I can’t apply it yet. I have no goal. Now, let’s go, um, here. And we need to cut something right there , I think. I think that’s for another quest. We will come back to this later. Let’s see if I can avoid these guys. Just so we can do it faster. I would kill for another tornado, but right now it doesn’t look like we’ll be that lucky. Wonderful . Rejuvenation heals us for 12 health points now, which is pretty good, meaning we only have 287 health points, so I can’t complain too much about it. Alpha, so it’s like higher level mobs. But we’re coming to the end of this little campaign, so then we’ll head out into the real world, if you will. This is such a nice, uh, nice learning area. I mean, the last one I remember was like goblins, maybe. I haven’t played in a while, but the one with the goblins was, uh , pretty fun, as a little side, uh, side adventure while you’re, you know, just chilling out in Goblin City. It was kind of …It’s kind of cool. There may be others, but okay, so she’s up there? What the…Okay, well, we can’t just go up like that. There’s some [ __ ] up there. How did that [ __ ] get there ? Maybe somewhere around here. Yeah, like, I can’t imagine that’s the cave, because that’s probably where the, uh, Chikara guys fought the bandits in the cave. Okay, we need to kill this thing. I’ve seen some people complain about how this, uh, this quest ends, as does the entire Skyrim quest line. And I…I don’t know . I…Not knowing everything that’s going on, I…I do n’t think it’s going to be that big of a deal. I feel like it led to , uh, you know, us leaving the island, obviously, so I don’t see how that could be a bad thing. Okay, we have a little clipping there. Okay, let ‘s move on. What was that? Tipu: Oh, it’s just a guard on a… a guard on a horse, okay . So, let’s take a look here. Okay, this is a player. Oh, we have a peacemaker. Okay, hey. Ban wal. Well, there you are, stranger. Get up quietly and be silent. We are not alone. I was patrolling near the border and noticed that there were a lot of Al Al tabby cats there. Cat…Al Cat is sulking near the house just up the hill to the north. I don’t know what they’re doing there, but it can’t be good. I If you want to be useful, go in there and destroy them. I’ll wait for you here. Okay, kill 10 assassins. Run after the wind. Light. Good. Is this a murderer? Boom. Shot in the head. Oh, I hit 27. That was critical. Now we have a talent tree, which, uh, we’ll go over here in a second, because I just thought of it. Nothing told me. Except for this thing right here, I think. That we have them . Reduces the cost of your Hammer and [ __ ] by one element of rage or energy. Oh, my God. This guy is actually a catalyst. We don’t really have any of these stun effects. It. Okay, so let’s get back to this. So we can either take Heart of the Wild, which increases our intelligence by 2%, in the form of a monstrous or bear, your stamina increases by 4%, and your strength increases by that, right? Or we can reduce the cost. I will choose this one. I don’t know. It seems like this is the choice I’m going to make. Probably wrong. And, uh, you know, you have to , you have to make your choice, right? Really? Level six, why did you attack me, friend? What we’re looking for, right? It should be right here. We’re going to double all these quests up here too . I mean , I still get enough experience for them. So, it looks like it’s right in front of us. I think. Yes, it should be right here. Oh, there she is. Oh, it’s already cooked. Wow, wow, she killed all the babies. Crazy lady. I wonder where she went. That’s it. And fortunately, I learned that if you log out, the hooks remain. Therefore. Eh, it was a pleasant surprise when I logged back in and all my buffs were still there . Okay, so we’re done with this. It was easy. And we need to kill a few more of these killers, so we’ll work on that. Now it will be this one. Pretty good. Okay, what do we have down here? Nothing really. So, there is a house there. Okay, we’ll go check it out. I’m too far away. There are some people there. Ideally. Now, if we go back and see that one guy, he’ll, uh, get a spear. So maybe it’s worth going back there all the way to the end and then coming back here, but I’m not sure yet. These things are a little stiff. And the bear shape would do it…Well, because. I still don’t understand what’s happening. Just spam with anger or whatever to basically take responsibility. But I definitely like healing . I can just use moonlight and then, and so on? This is actually a pretty good workflow. Okay, we have some scroll this time . I’ll look at it now. No. Just a hit. Now we have this timer right here. Too bad I don’t have this timer either, right? So I can see when I need to rejuvenate. Now, is this possible? Is this possible? Er, interface. Personal resource. This is strange. Um, yeah, I don’t see it. That’s it. Fight. Damage scale. Swing timer. Okay, it shows how and when you’re going to swing. Oh, let’s see what it looks like. This is an advanced option, so we can look at it . Recharge area. Advanced reload settings. Okay, main reloads, auxiliary reloads. Shutdown. Um, okay. How can I get… Yes, rejuvenation? Do I need to choose a rank for this damn thing? Okay, so we can take that, trail buffs. That’s it. Okay, it’s right here. Good. I feel like yes, keep him as a druid. Okay, let’s see how this goes. Okay, my cast. Oh, look at this. This is exactly what I wanted. Now let’s see what this means. Okay, so every 2 seconds I can swing. Okay, so it’s off. Oh, man. This is some game-changing behavior. And then it turns on again. I want to get Moonfire. Can I get Moonfire? Advanced options, edit mode. Oh, is this what I want? Advanced options, extended recovery time. Good. We are at the buff level. Um, yes, I want, damn it , Moonfire . Can I…How can I make you work? How do I add a new, uh, trail buff? It doesn’t show up, okay. Tracking improvements, a whole list of them. There must be a way to add one more thing here . Right-click . Oh, okay, let’s go. New notification. The sound when I play now. I do n’t want this. Right-click . Assign to tracked strips. Oh, okay. Good. Let’s try this. Look at this. Oh, damn it. Look at this. Now I know for sure. Update and refresh. I feel like I just became a better player. This worked quite well. Oh my God, this is fantastic. Damn, can I get another one? The right claw will probably jump at us. Okay, moonlight and rejuvenation. This is perfect. Mhm. I bet I could do more with this, right? And that’s actually pretty cool. The swing timer, on the other hand, not so much. I’m not sure. Maybe I just don’t understand it yet. Let’s kill this bright claw, because it will jump, jump into the fire. Not so much or anything. Let’s see. I do n’t have any mobs here. I don’t know what you’re doing. You are running away. It’s hard to help someone when they’re running away. So every 2.5 seconds I swing my axe. I wonder if I can speed this up . I feel like sometimes I get a lot more damage. Okay, I’m kind of expecting to get…What is this? I felt ready. But I, at 27, am not so bad. Okay, now I need another one of these guys. I need healing. Healing touch. What exactly is needed… Moonlight. I wonder if there’s a way to make Moonfire last longer, like 5 seconds or whatever. Okay, easy. That’s it . I’ll pass this on. I bet he’ll write to us to come into the house. This is my guess. Good. Congratulations. I’m glad you’re back. That Al Kazzet group looked like cold-blooded killers . I think you’re generally angry by including your persistence in my report. Okay, thank you very much. 875 experience points. This is a good piece, isn’t it? Good. Now we have done it. Let’s go get our bear form. Uh, that was it, I killed his wife. She killed their children. So, I mean, it’s, uh, you know, it’s an eye for an eye, I guess. That’s it. What is it? Kill several crabs. I bet what I could do is when this is it , when I’m not swinging this, when I should cast the spell, right? Then cast a spell, swing. Then cast the spell, right? I bet that’s the whole idea, right? Regrowth. I’m going to move on to the assassination attempt immediately. No, I think I messed up my attempt. Yeah, so I think that’s kind of the intention. I don’t know what the hell this is . What attack speed increases. Oh my God. Good. We need to get there. And we are here, up there. Do you understand what this means? We are flying. Now I want to get to the coast. This won’t last forever. If we stay above water, we may not die. That’s it. That’s it. It’s definitely a handy little ability, so I’m just not 100% sure how handy it will be in the real world. I haven’t leveled the Alliance very much, so…I’m going to do that, but we’re going to do the Horde character probably closer to the actual release of the game. I’m just not 100% sure what I want. For example, if shamans can tank, I think I’ll make a shaman. This seems like an interesting class. I think this will work. But obviously it can’t be an upright orc, which I thought was a bit odd. I think they think they’ll let you. So what, who cares? Who cares what I look like. But, uh, here it is . Oh, here comes the grumpy one. We’ll kill him again. I like that I have enough strength in the water so that I can jump out of it . You see our recovery. So I think 850, that’s going to be another big chunk, right? Yes, it will be about here . So, we can reach 11 today. I do n’t know. Boom. Oh, we have What the hell was that? Low Oh, scroll down below ping home sometime. Understanding is needed. The magician can decipher this using the Comprehension skill. Okay, that’s cool. I’m not a magician, but okay. Strength and mercy. The pain I feel from losing her is immeasurable, but it was necessary for balance. You have demonstrated determination to preserve it, even when it comes at a terrible price. You did well, Druid. I will give you the blessing to take the form of my relative. Be a beacon for those who lack the strength to endure, and a protector for those in need. Go now and embrace the path of the claw, child. Okay, we choose the bear form, growl and walk. Done. That’s it. Oh, and they’re coming right here, onto our little strip. Let’s see how it works here. So , if we change into bear form and become a bear, we lose our… Okay. Let’s press P and…Okay, we have a bear shape. Okay, now one more. What is growling? Tease the target. OK. Let’s mark that on the strip right there. And another one will increase the druid’s next attack by 18 units of damage. OK. This is… Okay. Now let’s get to it. Look how gorgeous you look. Let’s…Let’s see if we can…We’ll take a screenshot of the world, because this is hell. OK. Let’s take another one. What is closest to us? These crabs, right? I don’t know if I can still use moonfire while I’m a bear. I read… I read a post on Reddit that said I could, but I saw a response to it that said no, you can’t. So the plot escalates. OK. We’ll use this guy as our test dummy. No. It didn’t work. Maybe not. That’s it. I need to hit two to, uh, turn into a wild one. All this makes no sense to me. Yes. This is like my next attack. What a melee attack, right? Okay, I can rob like a bear. But I’m losing all my rage. I left the stunning…Stunning is something else. Good. The auto-attack doesn’t happen after growling, so… It takes 15 rage. These creatures still kick my ass . I thought the bear form would give me some advantage against these creatures. Okay, let’s loot this. And if I …Yes, if I do that, I lose. I’m losing my bear form. Good. Interesting. Okay, here…How am I supposed to… How am I supposed to fool around? I have a feeling I’m missing something. Is there any talent that allows you to stay in bear form? It’s like… That’s right, I’m losing … I’m already losing my temper. You’ll definitely have to get used to this. I just can’t figure out if this happens instantly or if it has to wait. I do n’t see it. I don’t see any boost that says my next attack will be boosted, right? Just a strange thing. Let’s fight back. A few more crabs here. There’s a crab right here. Okay, let’s move on here. So, two turns of attack. I feel like I should just spam everyone. I have a feeling that this is all that is needed. Yes, I can’t see anything anymore . I only see these two. We killed all the crabs. There are a few more crabs in the water there. Although they are too far away. I wonder if it’s interesting how I can get a calf. I have n’t seen any cats here yet. This might be similar to the Moonblade quest. We are doing well here. So, there are no more crabs in this area. Uh , let’s go. Let’s return to this section. By this section I mean kill this guy. Okay, wild fighting is a skill we actually acquire. Yes, that’s why she seems so weak. I don’t have any skills. I mean, the punches are pretty impressive. Maybe with a different stick we could do a little more damage. I mean, everything seems to be fine. What is this area? What kind of quest is this? Oh, we need…Yes, these things right here. I have already lost all my rage . Okay, I think I figured it out. So, I hit him, right? He is in line. Okay, it takes 15. I click on it and it doesn’t do anything. I thought I had it figured out. I can’t …I can take off my skin, being a bear. That’s good. That would be a no. It would be “Oh, I’m disconnected.” Well, okay. Let’s see if we can reconnect . Okay, like this . We skinned the guy … We skinned the guy and disconnected, so that’s it . Let’s try again. So, two…For some reason it keeps going down there. It’s a shopping center. If I press it again , it lights up, meaning I’ve activated it. That is, it works well. Can we…Okay, like we don’t have any rage anyway. I don’t feel any disadvantages in switching. I think I just need to make it so I can swap it around without clicking. And I think it will be better that way. I think it’s a little stronger in some places. Okay, I don’t want to fight this guy. Definitely. Oh, now everyone has PvP marked. This is strange . Oh, obviously, can we…Oh, we can’t . Let them eat… fix it here in a second. That’s all. Another clipping. Okay, where are we? Okay, so we’re almost almost to the quest. Here’s another one of these things. Let me do this very quickly. So, if we do this. Wild and bearish form. Let’s get rid of this stupid root thing that I’m never going to use. And then we can put this one, this one, this one. Remove them from the bar. And then click on this and click on that. Perfectly. I did this because I couldn’t use them as a bear, a cat, or anything else. So, it works. I no longer have a swing timer. I just noticed that. There’s another one over there. I…I wish Moonfire was a bear. I feel like that’s the only way to do it here. I’m not even sure it’s possible at all, but I would like it. Just to simplify a bit , for example, when it comes to, apparently, time that is about to end. I don’t know what that dude just did. Okay, that works pretty well. I’m getting a little more used to, I guess, the bear, I don’t know if I should get out of the bear shape. I don’t think there is…I think there is a penalty for switching. It would be good to know. I think I’m losing all my rage. Because I seem to be losing all my rage. But I don’t need that much treatment, do I ? So, these are lower level. We need to turn the swing timer back on. I think it was actually subtly helpful. Uh , extended swing timer, Dutch options. It seems that if you fall, you don’t save anything. So, this also saved them, because this— this was a separate act of preservation. They’re peeling off the skin a little here. OK. Yes, I do n’t have that initial rage. I think there’s a talent for that , don’t you? This one gives you a 20% chance to gain 10 rage when you transform into a bear. So, that might be, uh, something we might want to take. Uh, if we want it here, then we switch. I don’t think I would need to switch if there was, uh, a reason not to . I have a way out of this. Okay, we need another one of these things. This is actually fun. We did n’t…I mean, we got a little more health points, I think. We went down this path with talent, so…We’re full, so this is an increase in target armor. I’ll have to sell something here soon . Yes, you lose all your rage when you leave bear form. I mean, it’s a compromise, right? I’m not running out of mana. I do n’t know what it is. It’s like flying [ __ ]. Oh, this is it. I probably didn’t even need to. Oh, that guy…that guy does…uh, pulls it out and then rejuvenates it. They are in the shape of a bear. That’s reasonable. That’s smart, right now. My inventory is full. Good. Now my inventory is not full, but I have a lot of skin. Lots of skin. Okay, so I need to get closer. Full. Okay, perfect. It. Let’s break it down here, buddy. Oh, great. We have reached level 11. Interesting, I don’t think we’ll get anything new on 11. I think it’ll be around 12, so…Yeah, we need to check something. I don’t know where this guy came from. Good. Still not…Still not everything is clear. Oh no. We finished it. Perfectly. Now, what next? Fighters. Protect the index. Good. So, we have to get somewhere. Is this right here? No, this…Oh, it looks like another quest. This is right here. to get through these guys here. The cave is over there. Yes, that’s where we’re going. We are going there. Okay, we’re out of space. Again? That’s all I can do about it. Oh, here we are . Minor force. Good. This seems like a stupid way to go. No. Okay , let’s go here. I do n’t even think that would be the right way to go. We have to be there. What is it? Flash. Is there a merchant nearby? We will get to the point where we will have to, in fact, delete and remove things to continue. If there’s no way to sell here …I went through this and probably got rid of a bunch of junk I had in my bag. It was lower- end food and stuff, but we would still need more room in the bag. Good. Where is this safe place? Okay, it’s upstairs. It’s up there. Let’s go up there , I think. Yes, it looks like it’s right on the other side of these mountains. Come on. Okay , there are angry people somewhere here . Oh, it’s a hole. It’s a whole thing down here. Good. Good. I will wait until this person finishes. I’ll help her a little. I will also rise to the level with her. Good. I don’t know if I’ll get a grade for this , but I probably will . Is that all? Yes, I got a grade just for showing up. Perfectly. OK. I think. Okay, you’ve done all the work. I take all the credit and we can continue our adventure here. Now I’m just going to go back and hand this in because we’re out of room in the bag. I think that would be the smartest, most sensible thing to do. Save us some time. We don’t run that fast, do we? Therefore. Let’s, uh, stop here and continue. I would like to buy some greens. Anything I can help you with at the store? Please return it if you change your mind. OK. So, catching the wind, I think we can. I think they are all here. Now, one thing that fascinates me is this. Wild speed. Increase movement speed in cat form by 15%. I like to move fast, and this will be something I really enjoy. So, hopefully, this will work. But we are going to hand these things over. And, uh, you know, maybe we’ll get closer to level 12. I don’t know. Not much has been done yet, so. But we have a bearish form, so it’s not bad for us. OK. We catch the wind. I often have a hard time distinguishing between the wind shapers and Al’Akir. Unless one is more cruel than the other, equally dogmatic and saving. Slave? Rabsky. Or devalue your faith. They are both equally dangerous if left to their own devices. OK. If you weren’t like this, I would rather shed the blood of the wind shaper, but the blame for this conflict lies solely on their shoulders. You were sent peacefully to gather information, they decided to resort to violence. The rumor has already spread. The Wind Shapers learned what happened at the Standing Stones, they wouldn’t dare take revenge here in Valenar, but they certainly wouldn’t forget. Voxel, you have been a tremendous help to the High Order. I can easily understand what Rathir Ratoral saw in you. So, we got the bow of hours and some regeneration potions. What did the wind bring? Avenged tenfold. When the cult began its campaign of violence, the Peacemakers and Wind Shapers responded with posturing . I considered this a stupid escalation, so I advocated peaceful dialogue. Yesterday I sent my friend Beland Fan Right Wish to the Sanctuary of Akira, hoping to establish this dialogue. A box of Beland Fan’s tongue dipped in silver pigment has just arrived. Jesus Christ , these people are savages. It’s clear to me that there’s no thinking involved with a cult . Kill any cultists you see. Good. And bring me their prayer amulets. Collect 10 Al-Qath Windstone Amulets from Al-Qath Cultists found north of Valenar in the Gastberry Fields or in the Sanctuary of Akira. And we’re going to pick up either an improved leather tunic or an improved cloth belt. Good. Except until we meet again. In the service of Zephyr. The High Order has done everything possible to avoid direct contact with the cult, but that is clearly no longer an option. Their hostility was clearly demonstrated. And now there are rumors of larger cult movements across the island. They are clearly preparing for something, and whatever it is, it may or may not be good for the people of Zephyr. Report to Valeniar Stormfist and inform her that higher authorities offer full support for Valeniar’s efforts against Al-Qat, should the need arise. Report to Valeniar Stormfist, let her know that higher authorities are with them. Farewell, Arion. That’s good. Whoa, where are we going here? We are coming here. Oh, I think we’re climbing that tree again. I would like a tornado. We need static tornadoes everywhere. Speed up this movement a little. Okay, we’re getting to the top of this. I hope, uh, I hope we can find a tornado here soon enough. It’s interesting that they put this little side path, you know, right here. It’s like: Oh, yeah. They will have to come up here often. They’ll probably need a shortcut so they don’t have to climb up here so often . Good. The marshmallow won’t fall. Zephyr. I’m sorry to hear about Bellaphant. In reality, he was my cousin , a good magician and servant of Zephyr. We will avenge him. You…You…You seem eager to provide immediate assistance. Come, let’s talk to me in more detail about the current situation. Again. Everyone, tower defenders. Get stronger. I just received word that a cult is attacking a pylon watchtower not far from the city. I have sent a few extra peacekeepers that we have here to try to break through the enemy line and help the defenders , but any additional help could mean the difference between life and death for our men . Please proceed immediately to the eastern watchtower and provide whatever assistance you can, my Lieutenant Yoren Wind Reed. Windy Reed will lead the relief force if she is still alive. She can tell you how best to help. Okay, we’re going to get a new handcuff, it looks like it’s there. The winds show your path. Good. Where is it? The tower defense tower is over there. Okay, so that’s where we’re going, right there . I’m just jumping. Okay, come on. I probably shouldn’t have used my jump-jump there. Uh, now that I think about it, I’m probably going to want to do a hop-hop here in a moment. No, it’s nothing. This is not a jump-jump . Good. I think we’ll take a long detour. I thought it was a jump- jump, but no, all the jump-jumps are in their places. This guy is just fishing in the river. Now, I think I can walk this little path. It’s hard to see. Find it here, above. Oh, it’s like a little shortcut. Okay, what do we have here? We have a fighter. You know what? This ability is not very good. You have no chance, friend. Look at this. A powerful blow. 23 units of damage. Of course. 31. I have another understanding of the magician. Therefore. I guess I do n’t know if they’re worth anything. Oh, he’s a healer. Just noticed. Come on. Run away. These guys don’t lose their charm. This guy is level eight. He seems to be cooking here. Tipu: Okay. Now, the watchtower is here. It seems like we’ve climbed here before, so it looks familiar. So, we didn’t get any wind spells from all these guys. Are these savages? Are these players? No, these are peacekeepers. Okay, Laurano. Windy Reed. Tower defense. We are holding them back for now, but there are a lot of them , and our fighters are starting to tire. We need to do something to quickly break this deadlock. Okay, choose my reward. I will choose a savior. Because it’s more KB and stamina. I’m failing, Bono, but: Okay, I’m breaking logistics. She, uh, Wallonia sent only one person to help repel a full-scale attack. Wind, you don’t look strong, but I’ll take what I can get. We need this to cause as much damage as possible and stop it soon. But my people can’t hold out any longer. Go down the hill and disrupt their logistics. Their healers continue to attack or hold off the attackers . If we can destroy them, they might be able to, uh, push them back. Any cultists you kill while you’re there are also useful. Okay, so guys, we just killed four healers, four fighters. Run after the wind. We hack the destroyer. This attack will be difficult to repel unless we destroy some of the cult commanders. Be-Belaguayo— Belaguaya, they call it. She is a horror of the first category. She was a peacemaker before the cult got out of control, and even then she was out of control. As a cultist, I can only imagine how much worse it is now. Maybe I’ll just send you to your death, uh, but someone has to destroy, uh, Belgulia, if you want to, uh, if we want to survive . You, you. You will find her in a villa at the foot of the hill. Good luck, druid. Kill the commander and we’re going to pick up the belt. Yes, we are going to pick up … Beware of the burning path. So we have a new bracelet that I’m trying…How does it work? How do I get in line? This “I”, what is it ? Will he put me in a dungeon? Okay, I can go there. That’s it. Ideally. Bracelet. Now we need to go back down. Just ignore these guys, okay? There is a healer there. Healers are actually a little annoying because they heal. He is a healer and a shaman. I don’t know. I don’t know who these elves might be. Could they be shamans? Can they be priests? That’s it. Let’s. Oh my God, they heal themselves completely. Man. Let’s heal quickly. This ability is not ready yet. That’s it. It’s definitely worth making sure you do it. I’m telling you. If you don’t do this, you might die. Although the attackers don’t drop their prey, I don’t believe so. They are not real mobs. I can’t wait until …I don’t think I can do it. I would like to see him in the smoke right now. Coming back to this guy all the time . Lots of loot on this guy. Rage. Okay, so my next move…I’m getting the hang of it, and it seems actually pretty good now that I realize it’s similar to my next move. What is it? That’s a hundred students. There’s a chest there. Yoink. Yoink. Good. Let’s…Okay , here’s where it comes in. So, we’ll just wait here until she revives. Okay, so we need this, that. Maybe we’ll do it. Good. Let me take a look. Do we have any other clicking scrolls? We still have that one. Yes, there is a spirit there. Forward. Level 10, so it’s not that big of a challenge for us. Especially against the, um, huge bear we started with. Okay, she’s taken care of. We still haven’t received any magic charms. I mean, it’s kind of funny. Okay, who is this guy? He’s a healer, so we’re going to make him a moonfire . Parry the ball into it. Wait, 32. That’s pretty…I think it’s one of the greatest hits, right? 35 now. Oh. 33. Okay, one more scroll. Okay, there’s another healer. There is a fighter. How many fighters do we need? Uh, looks like we need six more after this guy. Okay, finally the attack, God. I’m starting to think they’re not falling out. Who is this guy? This is a healer. This is a preacher. We can just clean up this area right here. I mean, we’re starting to do some real damage now, which is really good. To be able to…uh…We can get through this. Let’s go, since these people are here. So it takes two… I think two melee attacks to get enough rage to be able to… Yeah. Not sure if the rage is based on damage taken or some kind of timer. Definitely…uh, not that bad. I mean, it’s not difficult here. 32 I’m just going to get better. I just need a few more fighters. I will complete this quest. The chance of some of them dropping seems a bit low, right? Like, uh … You can see, uh . I don’t want to fight either. You can see that some of them are a little low. Yes, your chance of relegation. So, this overstates my experience because I get more experience by killing things to get quest items, right? I hope this zone does n’t knock me out. Hopefully I can stay here to finish. Look at this damage. What was that? Two-handed sword. That would be a significant improvement. If only we could use it. Significant improvement. Yay, there was an automatic attack. I feel like I need an auto attack to be able to …Since I don’t have the rage to use this ability right away. As if that could be nice. This fight is so meaningful . Oh, we have an enrager on our back . We’re going to stun this. Hopefully I can kill this fighter quickly and then move on to healing. Good. Let’s heal again. This is already a balance. Hey, you’re ready. I now have free training. That’s it. Caught him. Here’s another bronze. I mean, the flow is pretty good. I think the workflow of this class is great. It just seems slower than, uh, the previous druid, but that was in the classics. Oh, my inventory is full again. Oh God, what should I get rid of? Rotten bread, yes. Good. Okay, let’s go. Let ‘s go sell. Maybe we just… Let’s go here. I think this is probably a good time to wrap up. Go sell and check out the druid trainer, see if he has anything new for us. It should be…It should be something like this, so just walk through the park here. But, uh, definitely the space in the bag is one of my limited spaces in the bag right now. But I have a lot of junk in my bag , so hopefully I can get rid of most of it . OK. And so. I can’t jump. I got to this guy. I think I need to go, uh, go, turn all the, uh, damaged, into fair skin. And process all of this. There’s that guy, the Druid. Let’s see what he says quickly. You need to take a short bath before talking to the guild master. What kind of wind is this, uh, blowing in? It seems we can hear a demoralizing roar. Which, uh, reduces attack power. OK. And then , at level 12, we get rebirth, rebirth, and rage. Rage instantly generates 10 rage and another 20 rage over 2 10 seconds. But it reduces the base armor and the bear form, and I don’t know what the ferocious bear form is . I’m not 100% sure what this is . Could this be a higher level form? Okay, let’s go sell. I think these vendors are down here. Let’s take a new ability. Moralizing war, let’s leave it at that for now. So 1 minute cooldown so that this isn’t exactly what we’re going to spam. And this is a staff merchant. I think I was looking for just that. My God, look how much better this staff is. And it only costs 30 silver. Good. Let’s sell all our junk. Which gave us nothing. Hmm, now we can get rid of this ancestral cloak. A bow of hours, three pieces of silver. Do I want to buy this? Perhaps. Yes, look. Look. Okay, 30 silver. Let the wind help you. Look, I’ll bring another staff in two seconds, but this will be to welcome Gael, my friend. This will be great. It’s kind of like a huge, huge damage improvement. Uh, we can get rid of these mushrooms, uh, jerky. As if this thing is of a lower level, so it’s not worth keeping. But yeah, okay. That’s all for today . We’ll see what happens tomorrow, but we’re in great shape, we managed to complete several tasks, several tasks are ready for submission. I think we did a good job today . But thank you very much for watching and have a wonderful day.
More from World of Warcraft Forever Beta
Making Our Way to Dalaran
The last episode in the Zephyrus Island starting zone for my Druid. I hand in the backlog, talk two feuding factions into one assault, take the sanctuary, deal with the cult leader, finally buy the trainer skills I had been skipping, and sail to Dalaran. Next up is a defense Paladin trial before the beta launches.
The Ruins of Ban'aethal
Picking the Druid up at the turncoat quest with the beta about five days from ending, then working through every side quest I had left. A gnome with no memory wants acorns and freed spirits, the druid enclave at war with the cult wants moss, blood heirlooms, ears and twenty feathers, and a cave holds seven wounded druids. I reach level 14, sort out the beta legacy points and wish I had taken the rage talent sooner.
Patch Notes October 15, 2026 - World of Warcraft Forever - Beta
The October 15 beta update to World of Warcraft Forever, read through a few weeks before the November 4 launch. Racial abilities are reworked, mostly as easings, the Paladin takes a stack of nerfs, the Druid keeps its energy between forms, and Horde players are no longer welcome in Dalaran.
