What's different in Forever
Same fights as Classic
In WoW Forever the bosses here keep their Classic levels and abilities. The loot has been reworked: many drops have new Forever stats, so read the tooltip.
Quest XP
Dungeon quests below level 40 pay extra XP in Forever (the 1 October build halved the bonus, but it's still there). From level 40 on, most pay their Classic XP.
Mob XP
Dungeon mobs give about a third of their Classic XP. If anyone in the group is far above the mobs' level, nobody gets XP for those kills.
Group Finder
It's a listing board, not a queue, and meeting stones don't summon. A Warlock and two others can cast Ritual of Summoning at the stone.

Let Bonkr Compass+ call your buttons
Boss fights go smoother when you're not thinking about your rotation. Build one on the portal's Rotations page and Compass+ shows the next button to press, so you can watch the floor instead.
