Buy the single-faction RestedXP Forever guide if you will only level Alliance or only Horde; buy Both Factions if you will level on both sides. RestedXP sells three Forever packages: Alliance ($30), Horde ($30) and Both Factions ($45), each a one-time purchase that includes the Forever updates. Through our link the cart takes 10% off automatically, so you pay $27 for one faction or $40.50 for both. Both Factions costs $13.50 more than one faction at that price, which pays off as soon as you level a second character on the other side.

How we checked: prices as listed on RestedXP's Forever product pages when we checked on 13 November 2026; the 10% discount was confirmed in a real cart on 2 November 2026. Route contents come from RestedXP's 9 October and 3 November 2026 Forever updates and the addon's release notes up to v4.11.36 of 11 November 2026.

Prices are in US dollars before tax; tax is added at checkout based on your billing address. There is no subscription. RestedXP describes the Both Factions product as "the complete World of Warcraft: Forever leveling experience for both Horde and Alliance", with class-specific leveling routes and planned Discovery and Legacy features.

What is the same in every package

Whichever faction you pick, you get the same kind of guide:

  • Speedrun Guide: the questing route, finished for levels 1–35 on both factions.
  • Dungeon Leveling Guide: questing plus dungeon runs at the levels where they pay off, restructured on 3 November 2026 into mandatory, optional and upcoming dungeons. See our RestedXP Dungeon Guide page.
  • Updates included: the Forever 35–60 routes come after launch at no extra charge, according to RestedXP. Until then the Era routes cover 35–60; see RestedXP levels 35–60.
  • Languages: according to RestedXP, the guide downloads in English, German, French, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese or Simplified Chinese.
  • Licence: one Battle.net account, all characters on it.

So the choice is not about features. It is only about which side of the war your characters are on.

What differs between the Alliance and Horde guides

The routes follow each faction's own world:

Alliance guideHorde guide
Starting zonesHuman, Dwarf, Gnome and Night Elf starts, plus SkyborneOrc, Troll, Tauren and Undead starts, plus Skyborne
Mandatory dungeons (3 November list)12, from the Hall of Thanes to Blackrock Depths13, from Ragefire Chasm to Blackrock Depths
Recent route workAlliance 1–20 Dungeon Guide fixes in v4.11.36"WoW Forever horde update" to the Durotar, Undead and Barrens routes in v4.11.34
New combinationse.g. Dwarf Shamane.g. Undead Paladin, Orc Mage

RestedXP's 9 October update reported 62 new Alliance quests and 63 new Horde quests in the Forever routes, so both guides have had similar Forever-specific work. If you have not decided on a side yet, our Horde or Alliance guide compares the factions themselves.

Who should buy one faction

  • One main character. Most players level one character to 60 first. If that is you, one faction covers everything you need, and alts on the same faction use the same guide.
  • Your guild or friends have picked a side. Then your alts will most likely be there too.
  • You want the lowest price now. $27 through our link is the cheapest way into the full Forever route.

Who should buy Both Factions

  • You plan an alt on the other side. Buying the second faction separately would cost $30 at list price; Both Factions costs $15 more than one faction.
  • Your group has not decided. Both Factions means you don't have to wait for the decision to start.
  • You switch realms or factions with friends, or you want to compare both starting experiences.
  • You like to level many characters. WoW Forever's Legacy points and alt-friendly systems reward a second and third character; see our alt leveling guide.

Can you upgrade later?

RestedXP does not publish a price for upgrading from one faction to Both Factions, and we have not tested whether its support offers one. Don't buy a single faction on the assumption that an upgrade will be cheap. If you think you'll want both sides, Both Factions is the safer buy, and if you already own one faction, ask RestedXP's support on its Discord (#open-ticket) before you pay for the second.

Two more things to know before you pick, from RestedXP's terms:

  • Refunds are rare. Completed orders are generally not refunded, so you can't easily swap one faction for the other. Details: RestedXP refund policy.
  • One account. The guide is licensed to one Battle.net account and is not transferable. Buy it on the account you play.

How to buy the package you picked

  1. Open the RestedXP Forever shop through our link. The 10% comes off in the cart; you don't need a code.

  3. Check that the cart shows $27 or $40.50 before tax, then pay.

Frequently asked questions

Should I buy RestedXP for one faction or both?

One faction if you will only level on Alliance or only on Horde. Both Factions if you plan an alt on the other side or your group has not picked a faction yet; it costs $15 more than one faction.

How much is RestedXP Both Factions for WoW Forever?

$45 list price, one-time. Through our link the cart takes 10% off automatically, so it is $40.50 before tax.

Is the Alliance guide different from the Horde guide?

Yes. Each covers its own faction's starting zones, zone order, class quests and dungeon list. The guide type is the same: a Speedrun Guide and a Dungeon Leveling Guide in both.

Can I upgrade from one faction to Both Factions later?

RestedXP does not publish an upgrade price. Ask its support before buying the second faction separately, because two single guides cost $60 at list price against $45 for both.

Does one RestedXP purchase work on all my characters?

Yes, on the characters of one Battle.net account. The licence covers one Battle.net account for personal use, so alts on the same account use the same guide.

Are Skyborne and the new race and class combinations included?

Yes. RestedXP's 9 October 2026 update added the Skyborne starting zone for both factions and routes for new combinations such as Dwarf Shaman, Undead Paladin and Orc Mage.
