Quest Gold From Level 48 in WoW Forever: Blizzard's Hotfix
Blizzard's November 10, 2026 hotfix notes for World of Warcraft: Forever (WoW Forever) say that most quests at level 48 and higher now additionally reward gold. That answers the earlier "no quest gold at 60" reports with a Blizzard source: the same post explains why the game does not turn experience into gold at level 60.
Quick answer: Most quests from level 48 up now pay gold on top of their usual rewards, per Blizzard's hotfix thread. Quests that already give valuable items, repeatable quests and quick or trivial quests were not changed. Blizzard's post gives no gold amounts.
Key facts
- What changed: most quests at level 48 and higher now additionally reward gold
- Source: Kaivax's hotfix thread, listed under November 10, 2026, in the Quests section
- Not changed: quests that already reward valuable items, repeatable quests, and quests that are quick, easy or trivial
- Amounts: not stated
- Level 60: WoW Forever has no XP-to-gold conversion for quests
What exactly did Blizzard say?
Under Quests, the hotfix post reads: "Most quests level 48 and higher now additionally reward gold." A developers' note says WoW Forever does not include the conversion of level 60 quest experience into gold that original WoW added shortly before The Burning Crusade. Blizzard says it felt it would be inappropriate for players to hoard quests near level 60 and turn them in later for a large profit. The change brings high-level quests in line with the rest of questing, so there is a reason to complete them on the way to 60 and afterward.
Which quests are not affected?
Per the same note, the quests left out are those that already reward valuable items, repeatable quests, and those that do not provide significant rewards because they are quick, easy or trivial to complete. Blizzard does not list the quests by name.
How does it relate to the earlier level 60 reports?
Earlier reports that quests at 60 paid no bonus gold are covered on our no quest gold at 60 page, which was written before this post and says it found no Blizzard statement. The hotfix note confirms there is no conversion at 60 and adds gold to quests from 48.
How much gold will quests pay?
Blizzard's post does not say. I did not open a source with amounts, so any figure you see elsewhere is a player report until it is posted by Blizzard. For wider gold advice, see gold making, gold farming and gold compared with Classic. For the rest of the day's changes, see the class tuning page.
What is not confirmed yet
- Live timing: the thread began on November 6, and the November 10 entry was added as a new post that evening (Pacific time); I did not test the change in game, and no later post in the thread changes it
- Amounts and quest list: not published
- Later changes: Blizzard may adjust it again, so check the hotfix thread
How can the Lore Forever add-on and Willo help with quest gold?
The free Lore Forever add-on is not a source for what a quest pays; it narrates the story of the zones, quests and NPCs around you as you play, and keeps an optional personal record of your play that you can open with /lore journey. It is fan-made, not affiliated with Blizzard, has no internet access, and its narration uses generated voices. You can also ask Willo, a separate companion app for Windows 10 or 11 and Apple Silicon Macs (macOS 12 or later) per her page, free to start with 50 answers a day. She can be wrong, so Blizzard's post is the source of truth.
