Levels are the range WoW Forever's own group finder suggests for each zone (game files, build 1.60.1.70707). UNCONFIRMED means the Forever files give the same range as the older 1.15 client, so we can't yet prove Forever kept it. FOREVER CLIENT means it's new or changed in Forever. VERIFIED means Blizzard or Icy Veins confirm it.

PREVIEW
The 1–60 paths are general advice, not confirmed for WoW Forever. Faction control is carried over and is UNCONFIRMED for Forever. Sources: Blizzard: Skyborne (Zephras Isle 1–12) · Icy Veins: zones (Riverglades 35–45).
