Character Boost


 * Opposing the Iron Horde are the heroes of Azeroth—at the heights of power they've always been destined for. Even if you're new or returning to the game, Warlords empowers you to boost one of your characters to level 90 and master new abilities at the gateway to Draenor, so that you can charge into grand combat right away. Play the races and classes you've always wanted to try, wage war alongside your friends, and take your place among Warcraft's finest.

The Character Boost (or simply boost) is a paid service that allows any character to be upgraded to a higher level that isn't already on the specified level. Purchasing an expansion grants a single character boost during the time of that expansion:


 * level 90 Character Boost was granted with the purchase of the Warlords of Draenor expansion
 * level 100 Character Boost was granted with the purchase of the Legion expansion
 * level 110 Character Boost was granted with the purchase of the Battle for Azeroth expansion and the World of Warcraft: Complete Collection
 * level 120 Character Boost was granted with the pre-purchase of the Shadowlands expansion and the World of Warcraft: Complete Collection
 * level 50 Character Boost is granted with the purchase of the Shadowlands Collector's Edition

The Character Boost can be purchased through the in-game shop, currently priced at $60/£40.


 * Please Note: Purchasing a new boost that provides a higher level than the previous will not replace the lower one that is still unused (e.g. purchasing a level 110 boost will not replace a level 100 boost if that is still unused).
 * Demon hunters can't be boosted and allied races will not receive their heritage armor set if boosted.

Description
''There comes a time in every hero's quest when they need a little boost to help get them over the hump and back into the action. With a level 110 character boost, you can grant one character a one-time boost to level 110 instantly.''

Limitations and Restrictions

 * Make sure you're okay with your decision before you finalize the boost. Blizzard will not assist with anything related to completed boosts.
 * You can't boost a character if they have a WoW Token in their inventory, bank, or mailbox.
 * Your character's quest log will be cleared during the boost, and any quest progress will be lost.
 * You can't purchase character services on your boosted character for 72 hours. You'll see Error 20078 if you try to buy a Faction Change, Character Transfer, Race Change, Appearance Change or Name Change during this time.
 * Warlords of Draenor Garrisons must be unlocked through normal play.
 * Boosted characters are unable to enter dungeons and raids from previous expansions for 24 hours.
 * Boosting an Allied Race character will prevent them from earning their Heritage Armor.

Steps
A level icon for the Character Boost will appear on your character selection screen next to the server name once you have the ability to boost a character. Clicking on this will open the two step process to boosting your character to the given level.

Step 1

 * Choose a character from your list
 * Or
 * Create a new character

Step 2

 * Choose your specialization

Step 3
(Neutral pandaren only)
 * Choose your faction

Finalization

 * Click next, confirm your choices, and click Level up!

Clicking "Level Up!" Gives you one final "Are you sure?" message in the center of the screen before the boost is used.

Veteran Bonus
If the selected character is level 60 or higher, it would have had its two primary professions and First Aid increased to skill 800. If the character did not have any professions learned, the game would have provided defaults based on the type of armor the character wears.
 * Plate: Blacksmithing and Mining
 * Mail/Leather: Leatherworking and Skinning
 * Cloth: Tailoring and Enchanting

Introductory experience
Freshly boosted characters do not immediately have access to all abilities appropriate to their level. Rather, they start out with a basic set of spells and abilities for their class, and must unlock the rest of their spells and abilities a few at a time by advancing through a short introductory experience.

After Patch 6.0.2, but before the release of Warlords of Draenor, boosted characters had to unlock their abilities through the Iron Horde Incursion world event in the Blasted Lands. With the release of Warlords, boosted characters instead acquire their abilities through the Warlords of Draenor intro experience.

Veteran players that want to skip this progression of spells and abilities may either swap specializations or queue for an instance. This will unlock the remaining spells and abilities.

Trivia

 * When the boosts were first introduced on February 18, 2014, new 90s spawned at their faction's landing on the Timeless Isle. This quickly became a problem, as new 90s are automatically flagged for PvP, and on PvE servers players with the Censer of Eternal Agony would camp the spawn locations for easy kills. The spawning point was later moved to the faction shrines in Vale of Eternal Blossoms.

Gear
When a character is boosted to level 90 or level 100, all gear slots are emptied and filled with new specialization-appropriate ilevel 483 (or ilevel 640 for level 100) uncommon-quality gear. The previous gear is mailed to the character. These mailed items may include Timeless items that were earlier mailed to the character by other characters on the same account. The boosted character can immediately turn these into epic quality gear, increasing that character's item level even more.
