At level 60 in WoW Forever, quest gold is gone: turning in a quest no longer converts experience into coins. According to Jokerd, whose group was the first to reach that level, a developer replied that the change is intentional. Blizzard has said nothing in public: at 10:03 pm Paris time on November 8, 2026, no message from the company appears in the two official forum threads on the subject.
What level 60 no longer pays
In Classic Era, a quest turned in at max level can no longer give experience. The game pays a gold bonus instead, explains Output Lag. Many players therefore hold on to quests while leveling, to turn them in at 60 and build a first gold reserve. In WoW Forever, according to the site, this payout “appears to be gone”.
Jokerd’s group reached level 60 on November 6, as we reported in our article on the first level 60. Jokerd is the one who noticed that quest gold had vanished. The opening post of the US thread sums up the consequence: the experience the quests would have earned is no longer converted into gold, and quests skipped while leveling cannot be caught up at 60. Only that conversion is at issue: another player in the thread points it out, “no bonus gold for not gaining xp at cap”.
No reliable source puts a figure on what the conversion paid, and Blizzard has never published a rate.
A developer reportedly confirmed it, according to Jokerd
On November 7, Jokerd explained live on Twitch that a developer of the game had reportedly confirmed the measure is intentional. A 54-second Twitch clip keeps that passage. Output Lag reports the same thing, and adds that, according to Jokerd, a weekly quest (repeatable once a week) paying a random amount of gold could replace it.
For quest gold, everything therefore rests on Jokerd’s word. The first post of the US thread, made on November 7 at 6:42 pm Paris time by a player who cites the stream, concludes: “This is not a bug and an intentional change”. That player names the developer, but no official source confirms either the name or the answer.
Two threads, 141 posts, no blue post
Read on November 8 at 10:03 pm, Paris time. The US thread has 60 posts, the last dated November 8 at 6:22 pm. The European thread, opened on November 7 at 10:08 pm, has 81, the last at 9:31 pm. None comes from Blizzard: not a single blue post, the color the forum reserves for official replies.
Players are demanding an answer on quest gold. In the European thread, one writes: “Need a blue reply here”. In the US thread, another judges that the measure “encourages RMT by removing a consistent revenue source” (RMT means buying gold with real money). Others approve: “less gold generated keeps prices down”. Some would accept a different scale, but not the absence of any reward.
Quest gold: what is established, what remains open
Turning in quests as you level still earns their experience, whereas at 60 the quest gold that replaced it seems lost. Output Lag lists this measure among other changes that have slowed the arrival of gold since launch, including Black Market vendors who cap the price of components such as 
Black Lotus, covered in our article on the MrGM interview. Only one move goes the other way: the team promised Crix to bring the Auction House minimum deposit back to 1 copper (“not yet, but coming”).
