How to Switch Between Classic and Enhanced Settings in WoW: Forever

Your first login in World of Warcraft: Forever lets you pick Classic or Enhanced. If you've already chosen, open Game Menu → Options and adjust the features you want individually. You can use Classic-style character models with modern quest guidance, or turn off the combined bag while keeping the centered interface. Visit a transmogrifier if you want to change your transmog preference.

1. Decide which parts of the preset you want

Blizzard describes the preset as a starting configuration. After first login, the original prompt no longer appears. To reproduce the other preset, work through the rows that matter to you. You may only need to change one setting. If you're happy with the map and inventory but dislike how your movement keys behave, keep your interface and change the bindings.

2. Change the settings you use while questing

1. Press Escape and open Options. Use the options search for the feature you want if you don't know its category.
2. For more map guidance, look for Show Quest POIs & Blobs. Turn it on to display quest points and objective areas. Turn it off if you want to find destinations from the quest text.
3. Look for the combined or one-bag option to choose how your inventory opens. Open the bags after changing it and check that the result is the view you wanted.
4. Inspect the movement bindings. A turn binding rotates your character, while strafe moves you sideways. Check the individual bindings if you already have a layout you like and only want to change one key.
5. Review the screen layout using the interface tools. Move any elements you keep losing track of during a fight, then test in the world before changing the rest.

Make two or three changes at a time. Open a tracked quest on the map, check your bags, and move around a quiet area. This gives you a quick way to see which option changed what. If you change every setting at once and something feels wrong, it can take longer to identify the cause.

3. Adjust the character look separately

Choose HD or SD character models in the game's settings. Blizzard also lets you choose a character's model presentation during creation and change it later through Options or at a barbershop. Try the models on a character you already play before making a new one just to compare. The choice changes the appearance and animation presentation. It doesn't affect abilities or progression.

Transmog is a separate visual choice. If you want to see armor appearances or apply your own after choosing Classic, visit a transmogrifier. You can enable it there without changing your quest markers or your bag layout. Follow our transmog guide for the equipment and collection rules.

4. Keep your character and change what bothers you

If you picked Classic because you wanted the older character presentation but keep missing quest destinations, start by enabling the map guidance. If you picked Enhanced but miss the way your old bags opened, turn off the combined view and leave the other options alone. If you play with a controller, set that up separately and confirm you can reach the panels you use. The controller guide shows how to activate the gamepad interface.

Changing these settings does not move your character to a different ruleset. If the actual problem is that you can't join a friend, compare your region, ruleset, and faction. If the problem is simply what you see or how your controls feel, stay on the same character and adjust the relevant option.

If you share screenshots with another player to compare settings, check which game version and input mode each of you is using first. A gamepad layout has different controls from a keyboard layout even if you both started with Enhanced.
