WowheadBlizzard details the hotfix and its reasoning
In an official forum post, Blizzard community manager Kaivax stated that the team has "tracked this very carefully," confirming that the hotfix deployed on Sunday, November 8 changed dungeon kill XP from 40% of Classic Era values to 60%. The post was made in response to a player claim that the figure was 36% of vanilla dungeon XP. Blizzard said it subsequently feels the adjustment "is working well to produce dungeon leveling speeds that fit with the rest of WoW Forever content," indicating the studio does not plan further changes at this time.
Outlets report Blizzard's satisfaction with the change
Both Wowhead and Icy Veins reported on Blizzard's statement, with Wowhead's 2026-11-10 article noting that dungeon experience in WoW: Forever is now confirmed at 60% of Classic Era values and that Blizzard considers the adjustment successful. Icy Veins' 2026-11-11 coverage similarly described Blizzard as being "happy with recent dungeon XP buffs," reiterating the same 60% figure and Blizzard's confirmation that the hotfix is working as intended for players leveling through dungeons.
