WoW: Forever Patch Adds Gold Rewards to Level 48+ Quests
Blizzard says most quests at level 48 and above now also pay gold, but the XP-to-gold conversion will not return.
Blizzard released a patch for World of Warcraft: Forever that makes most quests at level 48 and above additionally reward gold, according to gamesradar.com. The change covers the bulk of high-level questing but not all of it.
Blizzard excluded quests that already reward valuable items, repeatable quests, and quick or trivial quests from the new gold payout. The studio also confirmed that the XP-to-gold conversion will not return to World of Warcraft: Forever.
The XP-to-gold mechanic dates back to the original World of Warcraft, where it was added before Burning Crusade launched so max-level players received gold instead of experience. Blizzard kept the functionality in place in Classic Era in 2019.
Its removal in World of Warcraft: Forever drew criticism from players, and the new quest rewards arrive without restoring the conversion itself. Blizzard has previously noted that only 25% of quests in the original World of Warcraft provided raw gold rewards.
