Questions players ask

At what levels does a Priest learn new spells in WoW Forever?

Trainers teach Priests at 1, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24 and so on up to 60. The level table on this page lists every rank by level so you know when a trainer visit is worth the walk. New spells are no longer auto-added to your action bars after the 2 November notes, so check the spellbook after each visit.

How much does training cost from 1 to 60?

About 206 to 207 gold for every class after the launch rebalance. Warlocks pay a little less to offset pet Grimoires.

Tooltips read from client 1.60.1.70753 at level 60 with no gear, from the Talents Forever dataset (CC BY 4.0). Snapshot 2026-11-03.
