WoW Forever level 60 quest gold: what Jokerd’s report means
A popular Reddit discussion questions quest gold at level 60. What Wowhead reports, what Blizzard has not confirmed, and whether to save quests while leveling.
The report behind the discussion
WoW Forever players are debating whether saving quests for level 60 will provide the gold return they expected. Wowhead reports that Jokerd found no quest gold at max level and says a developer privately told him the behavior was intentional.
The report focuses on the extra gold that normally replaces experience at the level cap. Blizzard had not formally commented when we checked. We would not turn this into a claim that every quest has lost every type of currency reward.

Why the Reddit post struck a nerve
The r/classicwow thread had about 2,100 votes and 1,000 comments when we checked on November 8. Some players say they enjoyed continuing to quest for gold. Others discuss whether postponing quests until the cap encourages an awkward leveling strategy.
Several replies compare it with saving quests in The Burning Crusade. Other commenters point out that those decisions also involved reputation. Those comparisons help explain the reaction, but they do not establish how Forever’s current rewards work.
A heavily discussed post tells us this matters to players. It does not tell us how many quests are affected or what Blizzard will change next.
Should you save quests for level 60?
Our advice is not to delay useful quests solely for an assumed gold payout at the cap. If a quest helps your character now, weigh that benefit against leaving it for later. An uncertain future reward is a weak reason to stop following a route you enjoy.
If you are already near 60 and want to compare rewards, record the quest name and the reward shown before handing it in. Keep base money, any experience conversion and the sale value of an item reward separate. Combining them makes reports harder to compare.
For budgeting, work with money you have and rewards you can see. Avoid spending in advance on the assumption that a bank of unfinished quests will cover the bill.
Is there a weekly gold quest instead?
Wowhead mentions a possible weekly quest as part of Jokerd’s account. There is no verified schedule, reward amount or public Blizzard explanation in that report. It should not be treated as an available replacement income source.
The useful next evidence would be an official explanation or repeatable reward comparisons from multiple level-60 players. Until then, claims about guaranteed weekly gold or the complete removal of quest money go beyond what has been established.
