WoW: Forever Beta Overhauls Professions With New Gear, Enchanting Nerf
Blizzard's WoW: Forever beta has added new profession rewards, including dungeon gear and themed weapons, while rebalancing Enchanting's crafted item sell prices after a level cap increase. The changes, reported by Wowhead, affect how players earn gold and gear up through crafting ahead of the game's November 4, 2026 launch.

New Profession Gear and Bonuses
According to Wowhead, professions in the WoW: Forever beta have received a large number of new recipes, bonuses, and gear items. Reported additions include dungeon pieces that increase crafting speed and hammers that can also function as throwing weapons. These additions appear aimed at giving crafting professions more thematic identity and gameplay variety beyond standard stat upgrades, though Blizzard has not issued an official statement detailing the full scope of these changes.
Enchanting Sell Prices Nerfed After Level Cap Raise
In a separate beta build update, the character level cap was raised to 30, allowing players to learn higher ranks of their professions, Wowhead reported. Alongside this change, Enchanting's crafted weapons had their sell cost adjusted downward, reportedly closing off a lucrative gold-making strategy sometimes referred to as "enchanting flips." The report does not specify exact sell price figures, and Blizzard has not confirmed further details beyond what appeared in the beta build.
