WoW Forever Players Are Saving 40 Completed Quests for the Next Level Cap Increase

World of Warcraft: Forever players have found a simple way to prepare for the next beta level cap increase: complete quests now, but wait to turn them in until the cap rises.

The strategy takes advantage of Blizzard increasing the quest journal limit from 20 to 40. That gives players enough space to store a large number of completed quests and potentially collect a substantial amount of experience as soon as the next level cap becomes available.

The current beta cap is level 20, with Blizzard expected to raise it to level 30 at a later stage.

Players can bank experience before the cap increases

The idea is straightforward.

You can continue completing quests while approaching the current level cap, but instead of turning them in immediately, you leave them completed in your journal.

Once Blizzard raises the cap, all of those quests can be handed in together.

That could provide a large amount of experience immediately and give prepared players a short head start toward level 30.

Beta feature	Current situation
Current level cap	20
Planned next cap	30
Quest journal limit	40
Strategy	Complete quests but delay turning them in
Benefit	Bank experience for the next cap increase
Long term progress	Beta characters will eventually be wiped

The method is especially useful for players already close to level 20 who still want to continue exploring and completing quests.

The 40 quest limit makes the strategy practical

Traditional World of Warcraft has often restricted players to a smaller number of active quests, which makes this kind of preparation harder.

Forever doubles the journal capacity from 20 to 40.

That gives players enough space to continue questing through level appropriate zones without immediately collecting the rewards.

A player could theoretically fill most of the journal with completed quests, then turn them in quickly once the level cap rises.

The exact number of levels gained would depend on the experience rewards from those quests and any changes Blizzard makes before the next beta phase.

Still, storing 40 completed quests could represent a significant amount of experience.

Dungeon quests can also be saved

The approach is not limited to normal open world quests.

Players can also complete objectives connected to new content such as the Ruins of Lordaeron dungeon and delay collecting the final rewards.

That makes the strategy useful for anyone who wants to keep playing their main character even after reaching the current progression ceiling.

Instead of creating another character or stopping until the next beta phase, players can continue experiencing content while storing future progression.

The advantage will only be temporary

There is an important limitation.

Blizzard plans to wipe World of Warcraft: Forever beta progress before the full game launches in November.

That means any advantage gained through quest banking will disappear eventually.

Even during the beta, saving completed quests is unlikely to provide a major lasting advantage. It may simply allow some players to reach the new cap several hours earlier than others once level 30 becomes available.

For players interested in testing higher level content quickly, however, that temporary advantage may still be useful.

Quest banking shows how players optimize even temporary progression

The strategy is another example of how MMO players find ways to optimize progression even when the rewards have little permanent value.

A beta wipe means none of the accumulated levels, equipment or completed quests will survive into the full release.

Despite that, players who enjoy progression systems can still find satisfaction in reaching new content quickly or staying ahead of the leveling curve.

World of Warcraft: Forever's expanded 40 quest journal makes that easier than usual.

If you are already close to level 20 and still want to continue questing, completing objectives without turning them in could give you a useful experience reserve when Blizzard eventually raises the beta cap to level 30.
