You pay 50 gold for dual spec, set up your two sets of action bars, and log out. On logging back in, according to players reporting it on Blizzard’s forums, one or more of those bars are empty.
WoW Forever’s dual spec (two sets of talents you switch between out of combat) can be bought from level 40. Since November 8, 2026, players of several classes report that the purchase comes with an interface bug: the action bars empty. For Kami, the site’s founder, who checked in game, only the keybinds were missing, and only the first time the second spec was activated. A member of the Blizzard team confirmed on November 10 that the developers are investigating. The hotfix lists of November 9, 10 and 11 say nothing about it.
WoW Forever dual spec: 50 gold, from level 40
The price comes from the press, not from Blizzard. MeinMMO, by Karsten Scholz on November 10, describes a “one-time service” that you learn from class trainers in the capitals, for 50 gold, from level 40. You then store two specializations and switch between them out of combat.
We found no official source for this amount: it comes from press and player reports. A post on the US forum, dated November 12, also mentions 50 gold. Our October 31 article did not give this price; it is paid at level 40, like the mount.
| Expense at level 40 | Price | Where the figure comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Dual spec | 50 gold | MeinMMO, November 10, 2026 |
| Riding skill and first mount | 100 gold | Beta guide, detailed in our October 31 article |
| Total | 150 gold | Sum of the two rows |
Action bars cleared at every login
The US thread opened on November 8 has 41 posts as of our November 13 check, the latest posted at 12:47 p.m. Paris time. The first describes the bug this way: “Since buying dual spec, random action bars will completely clear all the abilities on them”.
Another US thread, from November 9, puts a number on the effort: going back from the secondary spec to the main spec “deletes multiple rows of bound spells on your action bars”, which means “10-20 keys” to rebind at each swap.
The posts mention druids, paladins, warlocks, warriors and priests. The bars affected change from one login to the next: sometimes the druid forms (cat, bear), sometimes bars 2 to 4, sometimes all of them. Two posts say that only the bars of the controller layout are cleared, another that character-specific macros disappear. In the European thread, a player specifies on November 10 that the problem occurs with Blizzard’s default bars, on Mac as well as on Windows.
On November 11, a player writes: “highly do not recommend investing in dual spec rn. it wipes the spells on your action bars every time you swap between specs”.
Blizzard investigates, no fix published
On the European forum, a member of the Blizzard team replies on November 10 at 3:34 p.m. Paris time: “our developers are currently investigating this issue, however we don’t have more information to share about it at this time”. The message points to Blizzard’s support Discord and to the hotfix posts.
These posts do not cover the topic. The hotfix thread kept by Kaivax gathers the lists of November 9, 10 and 11, and none of them mentions dual spec or the action bars. Blizzard has given neither a cause nor a date. The last post read in the US thread, on November 13, is a single line: “Bump, Blizz how hasn’t this been fixed?”.
Tested in game: a second spec that starts without keybinds
Kami, founder of kami-labs.fr, checked on a personal character on November 13, 2026. There, macros stay in place and the bars do not empty: what is missing is the keybinds (the keys tied to spells, what players call “binds”). And only once: on purchase, the new spec does not pick up the keys of the previous spec. Once both specializations are set up, no keybind drops anymore, neither when switching specs nor on reconnecting.
To restore the keys in one go, Kami used the Myslot addon, which saves action bars, macros and keybinds as a simple text string: one import restored everything. On its CurseForge page, the addon is listed for game version 1.60.1, the one WoW Forever uses. Several forum posts, for their part, describe spells removed from the bars at every login: this test does not confirm them, without being able to rule them out for other classes or other settings.
What players use in the meantime
Apart from Myslot, tried in game by Kami, none of these leads has been verified with the Forever client, and none comes from Blizzard. They are listed here because several players report them. For other addons, see our addons page.
| Lead | What the player reports | Reported limit |
|---|---|---|
| ActionBarSaver: Reloaded | November 10: /abs save 1 saves the bars, /abs restore 1 puts them back after a wipe | November 12: a few bars still clear despite a backup addon |
| Myslot | November 12: a paladin re-imports their backup after every wipe; November 13, Kami’s test: one import restores all the keybinds | For Kami, a single import was enough: once both specs are set up, nothing drops anymore |
| Bindsafe | November 11: “Temporary fix” | Only for the main spec, the same post specifies |
| Character Specific Keybinds option | November 11: ticking the option seems to fix the problem | November 12: a paladin already had it ticked permanently, the bug persists |
Pay now or wait for the fix
MeinMMO sees dual spec as mainly interesting for anyone who wants to heal or tank in dungeons without giving up a DPS spec for solo leveling, and presents it as a trade-off to make, at level 40, alongside the mount. The forum posts describe the same scenario for those who bought it: bars to redo or restore at every login. Kami’s test gives a much less costly version: keybinds to set once on the new spec, right after the purchase, or to reload in one go with a backup addon.
Choosing the two specs is best done before spending: our 27 leveling builds give a starting point for each specialization.
