How to Use the WoW Forever Gold Planner

Beta caveat: built from beta data ahead of launch on 4 Nov UTC / 5 Nov AEDT. [Classic-based] = Classic Era data Forever may change; [Unconfirmed] = to recheck at launch.

The gold planner adds up your riding costs, discounts and class training, then tells you how much you still need and how long it takes to save. It runs in your browser and keeps your choices in the page link.

What the planner uses

The planner now uses the WoW Forever riding prices, not the old Classic split. Riding training is reported as 100g and 1,000g (Wowhead summary of a Sportskeeda interview, 18 Sep 2026). Which level each applies to is unconfirmed; fan sites (Warcraft Tavern, Method) list 100g at 40 and 1,000g at 60, and the planner uses that split. [Unconfirmed] The developers told Sportskeeda that your first mount comes with the training, so the vendor mounts are extras. [Unconfirmed]

Prices from the Warcraft Tavern Forever riding guide, checked 29 Oct 2026. Blizzard hasn't published a price list, so every price is [Unconfirmed].

How to use it

1. Tick the costs you plan for. Most players tick Apprentice Riding first, then Journeyman later.
2. Tick the discounts you'll have: Honored with your home faction (−10%) and PvP Rank 3 (−10%).
3. Type your own class-training budget. We don't fill one in, because we haven't found a cited per-class total.
4. Type the gold you have now.
5. Type your own gold per hour if you know it. Leave it blank and the hours box shows a dash.
6. Press Copy share link to save or share your plan.

What the numbers mean

Discounts apply to the riding and mount lines only. Your class-training figure is added at full value.

Discounts

• Honored: 10% off training and mounts with your home faction (Warcraft Tavern). Apprentice drops to 90g and Journeyman to 900g.
• PvP Rank 3: 10% off in Classic Era (Blizzard Watch). Whether Forever keeps PvP ranks and this discount is [Unconfirmed] [Classic-based].
• Bartering (Legacy perk): up to 10% off mounts but not riding training (Method). The planner has no box for it, so tick only Honored for vendor mounts if that is all you have. [Unconfirmed]
• The planner adds the two together, so both ticked gives 20% off, as in Classic Era.

Beta players reported paying 900–960g for Journeyman, which fits the Honored discount (WoW Forever Builds). [Unconfirmed]

Worked examples

These are the planner's own sums on the beta prices above.

Example with your own numbers: you tick both riding ranks with Honored (990g), add a 150g training budget (1,140g), have 300g, and make 40g an hour. The planner shows 840g still to save and 21.0 hours to farm. The 150g, 300g and 40g are example inputs only, not Forever figures.

Finding your own gold per hour

We don't supply a gold-per-hour number, because beta prices won't carry over to a fresh economy. Measure your own:

1. Note your gold before a session.
2. Play your normal route for an hour, vendoring greys and selling mats.
3. Subtract, then type the result into the planner.

Count auction sales only once they sell. For ideas, read gold by level, cloth farming and crafting for gold.

Where to train riding

You learn riding from your own race's trainer. To use another race's trainer and mounts you need Exalted with that race (Warcraft Tavern).

Race	Mount	Trainer	Vendor
Human	Horse, e.g. Brown Horse Bridle	Elwynn Forest (84.3, 64.9)	Elwynn Forest (84.2, 65.5); Wetlands (8.6, 54.3)
Night Elf	Saber	Darnassus (38.4, 17.0)	Darnassus (38.6, 15.6)
Dwarf	Ram, e.g. Gray Ram	Dun Morogh (63.7, 50.1)	Dun Morogh (63.5, 50.6)
Gnome	Mechanostrider	Dun Morogh (49.2, 48.1)	Dun Morogh (49.1, 48.0)
Orc	Wolf, e.g. Horn of the Timber Wolf	Orgrimmar (69.4, 13.1)	Orgrimmar (69.4, 12.2)
Troll	Raptor	Durotar (55.3, 75.5)	Durotar (55.2, 75.7)

Paladins and Warlocks get their mounts through class quests, so they can skip the vendor lines. Forsaken Paladins get their own mount quests (Warcraft Tavern).

What the planner leaves out

• Profession costs. Use the mats calculator and read how to use it.
• Gear, consumables and repairs.
• Alts. Riding is trained per character, so plan each one separately (see mount gold).

Tips

• Reach Honored before you train. It saves 10g at 40 and 100g at 60.
• Leave the swift mount unticked until launch confirms whether Journeyman includes one.
• A store mount from an edition still needs the riding skill, so keep the training ticked (Method).
• Bookmark your share link and update the gold-you-have box as you level.
• Sell gathered mats and consumables early, while launch demand is high.

Unconfirmed flags

• All Forever riding and mount prices.
• Whether Journeyman training includes a swift mount.
• Forever PvP ranks and their discount.

FAQ

How much gold do I need for riding at 40 in WoW Forever?

100g for Apprentice Riding, or 90g at Honored with your home faction. The training includes a mount. Plan it in the gold planner. Which level each reported price applies to is unconfirmed; fan sites list 100g at 40. [Unconfirmed]

How much is Journeyman Riding at 60?

1,000g, or 900g at Honored. A 200g swift mount is listed as an extra, but whether training includes one is unconfirmed. See mount gold. Which level each reported price applies to is unconfirmed; fan sites list 1,000g at 60. [Unconfirmed]

Do the planner's discounts stack?

Yes. Honored and PvP Rank 3 each take 10% off, so both give 20% off, as in Classic Era. Whether Forever keeps the PvP discount is unconfirmed.

Why is the hours-to-farm box empty?

It needs your own gold-per-hour figure. We don't supply one because beta prices won't carry over. Ideas are in gold by level and the gold-making guide.

Does the planner include profession costs?

No. Use the mats calculator for crafting materials, and read the mats calculator guide.
