Skyborne: WoW Forever's new race — classes, racials, starting zone

Updated 2026-09-13

The Skyborne are elves descended from Highborne exiles who struck a pact with the wind spirits of Skywall. They start on Zephras Isle, a floating island (levels 1–12), and choose a faction at character creation. Playing one requires the Heroic Pack ($29.99) or the Collector's Edition.

Zephras Isle, the floating Skyborne starting zone (levels 1–12).

Faction	Classes
Both	Warrior, Hunter, Rogue, Druid (unique blue elemental forms)

Alliance only	Mage (works with the Kirin Tor)

Racials

Transcribed from the beta stream; numbers may change.

Walk on Air — glide downward for 10 seconds.
Read Ley Line (Alliance) — +100% health and mana regeneration.
Skysight (Horde) — +10% run speed.
Wind Blessed (passive) — +1% melee, ranged and spell haste.
Elemental Insight (passive) — +5% damage against elementals.

The community's first take: solid but not best-in-slot for anything, which is by design for a paid race.
