In late September 2026, players on Reddit and on Blizzard's official forum separately asked to buff dwarf racial abilities in World of Warcraft: Forever. One of the suggestions is a new "treasure hunting" ability: for an hour after opening a chest, mobs drop profession reagents and mini-chests with gear.

Dwarves are one of the playable races in World of Warcraft: Forever, but, as players have noticed, they are rarely picked: their racial abilities affect gameplay less than those of other races. In late September 2026, two players independently reached out to Blizzard to ask for that to change.

— On 29 September, a post titled 'Please buff dwarf racials' appeared on Reddit (r/wowforever) — a short request without details. — On 30 September, a thread called 'Dwarf racial' opened on Blizzard's US official forum with a concrete proposal: let Blizzard add a 'treasure hunting' ability to dwarves. The mechanic: after a dwarf opens an unopened chest, they receive a one-hour buff — regular mobs of their level start dropping profession reagents and mini-chests with gear. The author believes that at level 60 such an ability would make dwarves noticeably more popular.

The discussion is still at the player level: on neither Reddit nor the Blizzard forum have developers left any comments. These are requests, not announcements of changes — Blizzard can take them on board or ignore them.

There's still time before the release of Forever: the beta runs until 21 October 2026, and the full launch is on 4 November at 23:00 UTC (5 November at 02:00 MSK).
