TL;DR: RestedXP is a leveling guide built by speedrunners: a free in-game addon plus paid routes that point an arrow at every next step. For Forever it covers levels 1-35 at launch (dungeon routes to 30), with 35-60 running on its Classic Era routes until Forever versions ship after launch. It's free through level 20 - try before buying. Full cost: $30 per faction or $45 for both.

What RestedXP is

A two-part product: the addon is free, the guide content inside it is the paid part.

Free addon

The RestedXP addon itself costs nothing and installs like any other addon - it displays routes, arrows and step text in-game. Levels 1-20 work for everyone with no purchase.

Paid guide routes

Speedrunners race new WoW launches for a living - the paid product is their optimized step-by-step route: quest order, travel paths, when to train, when to hearthstone.

Built alongside the game

Forever guides are being created alongside the release and updated continuously - buying in early means receiving every route update as new content is tested.

Forever coverage at launch

What the Forever guides actually cover on day one - worth knowing before paying.

Honest verdict: if you're leveling your first Forever character and want the lowest-friction path, RestedXP's launch coverage is the most polished - but the TUGs pack is close enough that casual leveling doesn't need the paid route. Compare all working options on our WoW Forever addons page.

FAQ

Is RestedXP free?

The addon is free and works to level 20 for everyone. The optimized guide routes beyond that are paid - $30 for one faction, $45 for both.

Does RestedXP work on WoW Forever?

Yes - it shipped a Forever build before launch and its speedrun routes are finished through level 35. Levels 35-60 use its Era routes until the Forever ones arrive.

Is RestedXP worth it for Forever?

For a first character raced seriously, yes - it removes every "what now" pause. If you're leveling casually, the free Guidelime + TUGs route covers the same ground at no cost.

How do I install RestedXP?

Through an addon manager like CurseForge (search the name, hit install) or manually into Interface/AddOns, then enable it at the character screen.
