Finding a group without a dungeon finder

Patch 1.60Updated Nov 5, 20262 min read

There is no Dungeon Finder in Forever and no cross-ruleset play. Every group is built by people, and the two places where that happens are the premade group tool and the LookingForGroup channel.

The premade group tool

Forever ships with a group listing tool, the same idea as the Premade Groups tab in modern WoW: a leader lists “Deadmines, need healer and tank”, and players apply.

  1. Open the social window (default key O) and switch to the group listing tab.
  2. To join, filter by dungeon, apply, and wait for the leader to accept. Fill in your role honestly.
  3. To lead, create a listing with the dungeon, the roles you still need, and one line about the plan (“full clear”, “quest run”, “boss only”).

Listings are per ruleset and faction, like everything else in Forever.

The LookingForGroup channel

Capital cities put you in a shared LookingForGroup channel automatically. This is the older method and still the busiest one in the leveling brackets.

  • Post short and specific: LFM Wailing Caverns, need tank + 1 dps, have summon or LF2M SM Cath, healer and dps.
  • Repost every few minutes, not every ten seconds.
  • Whisper the poster with your role and level, not just “inv”.

Abbreviations you will see: LFG (looking for group), LFM (looking for more), LF1M/LF2M (need one or two more), DPS (damage dealer), tank, heal or healer, and the dungeon shorthands listed in the glossary.

Making the group work

  • Warlocks can summon. A group with a warlock and two people at the stone saves everyone the walk, and saying “have summon” in your post gets faster replies.
  • Check the dungeon level range before you apply. A level 16 in a level 24 dungeon is a liability, not a bonus.
  • Agree on loot before the first boss. The default is “need only on what you will use”, and greed on everything else.
  • Leaving mid-run marks you as unreliable on a shared world where you will meet the same names for years.

Guilds

The most reliable group is a guild. If you intend to raid in December when the first raids open, join a guild that is already levelling together. The guild recruitment channel and the group listing tool both carry guild adverts.

The exact look of Forever’s group tool will be documented with screenshots after checking it in game.
