Pick your group before your class combination
The official preview explains the split through the two Skyborne traditions: Horde Skyborne follow elemental traditions, while Alliance Skyborne pursue their ancestral arcane heritage.
Forever does not allow Alliance and Horde to group together. If your friends have already picked a faction, check the matrix before planning a Skyborne Mage or Shaman. Choose the same ruleset as well.
This table is only the announced Skyborne list. It is not a complete race/class database for every race, and it does not rank damage, healing or endgame strength.
Starting on Zephras Isle
The announced Skyborne starting experience covers levels 1–12 on Zephras Isle. The official preview describes elemental and sky themes and new druid forms designed for the race.
Do not treat a new starting area as a verified speed-leveling route. Quest order, experience rates and practical travel timings are outside the scope of this announcement-based guide.
Check access on your account’s store
The international announcement includes Skyborne race access and the Zephras Isle starting experience in the optional Skyborne Heroic Pack; the Epic Pack includes those benefits as well. Base game access and optional race access are different purchases.
Verify the current package contents on the store for your account region. A translated website page does not change the region or entitlements attached to your account.
