Every guide here is written from the verified database, carries its provenance in the text, and shows a last-verified date. When Blizzard publishes something new, the guide changes and the date moves.

The Rise Primers
One series, one standard: every primer is written from the verified database, cites its facts in the text, and carries a last-verified date. Primers 03–11 expand the series from the guild's professional guides pack (general-player prelaunch edition, research checked October 30, 2026), vetted claim by claim against the database — corrected where the database wins, labeled where it cannot yet confirm.
Getting Started in Forever
What the game is, what it costs (nothing beyond a subscription), how realmless rulesets work, the character decision card, and a sane first session.
Name Reservation, Explained
The full rules — window, eligibility, the 3-character cap, the uniqueness rule — plus the generator that helps you use them.
Leveling and Duo Play
A route framework with no invented XP rates, quest synchronization for two, and how to measure a session honestly.
Classes and Combat
Nine field cards from Blizzard's class deep dives — what each class actually does in Forever, and how to read a build before copying it.
Interface and Addons
The native client first, a small maintainer-verified addon shortlist, and the two honesty notes (API restrictions; no WeakAuras).
Professions, Camping and Gold
Camping's real rules, the guild's profession split, Merchant's Favor, and gold accounting that separates cash flow from profit.
Gear and Loot
What Forever's itemization changed, an upgrade checklist that needs no best-in-slot list, and a loot agreement to settle before the run.
Dungeons and Group Play
The nine new dungeons with published ranges, access notes, role responsibilities, and a wipe review that fixes the plan instead of blaming a player.
Raids and Rise Preparation
The December 9 framework, attunement — including the one step that differs from Classic — and the road from launch night to first pull.
PvP Objectives and Progression
Honor versus Rank Points, the full 14-rank reward ladder, Darkspear Islands procedure, and reward planning without invented timelines.
Legacy, Alts and Collections
65 points, 16 to spend: the challenge families, per-character allocations, transmog's collection rules, and three expensive misunderstandings.
