Archived beta-client snapshot: beta ended October 23. This package has not been accepted for the release client; the installation steps below describe the former beta environment.

Getting started

  1. Close the game. Back up existing Oathbound/Eidwacht folders outside AddOns. Update only the free Forever edition; never delete WTF or SavedVariables.
  2. Extract the ZIP. Copy the Oathbound folder into _classic_beta_/Interface/AddOns.
  3. English is the default. /ewlanguage de persistently switches to German; /ewlanguage en switches back to English.
  4. Active oaths have a green border, failed oaths a red one, completed oaths a gold one, and evidence gaps an orange border.
  5. Enable before first login. At level 1, enter /oathbound, choose oaths and confirm Start Run.

The preview keeps an independent per-character copy in account-wide storage. Changes are mirrored automatically in memory; chat notices are off by default. Exit the game normally so WoW writes its SavedVariables. ✓ and /ob save are additional options.

Content and beta test status

This neutral preview needs no account, purchase, code or unlock. The full development catalogue is not included. Comparison, class browsing, selection, preparation removal and saved results remain available. Every challenge shows its own relevant WoW icon; class portraits only identify categories. Smart mode shows larger oath icons from left to right, with rules and status on hover.

“No water” means no observed swimming or submersion; shallow wading does not break the oath. Hogger requires the active quest by level 9. Dungeon oaths require the matching quest and every listed boss: Hall of Thanes by 13, Ruins of Lordaeron by 15, and Deadmines by 16.

0.9.0-beta.31: 173 package checks plus 20 start, 16 coverage, ten level-30, six upgrade and twelve onboarding checks passed with simulated APIs and saves. Native acceptance of this version, real dungeon runs, swimming boundaries, two-player comparison and a full 1–30 run remain pending.

Update without resetting your old run: new characters receive goal 30. Existing level-20 oaths retain their rules, successes and failures. The two goal cohorts compare separately; adventure deadlines are unchanged.

Your first 30 levels

The free preview contains twenty general hardcore oaths, ten challenges for each class, and four early adventures — 114 oaths through level 30. “One Life, One Oath” and the Smart tracker are included. No account, purchase, or unlock.

  1. Level 1: Choose oaths, then confirm Start Run. Review its goal, restrictions and required evidence first.
  2. Levels 1–30: Play and track progress. Failures and evidence gaps remain visible.
  3. Level 30: Review your results. Level alone does not complete an oath; rules and evidence must hold. Older level-20 runs retain their goal and history.
  4. Compare: Exchange your saved Oathbound chronicle with other players and inspect them side by side.

Four early adventures

Hogger by level 9, Hall of Thanes by 13, Ruins of Lordaeron by 15, and Deadmines by 16. Hogger observes live completion of the active quest. Each dungeon also requires every defined boss from the same valid instance run. Automated flows pass; real dungeon runs in the Forever client remain pending.

Preparing for Forever

Original chapter drafts are being prepared for the Skyborne on Zephras, Hyjal, Shen’dralas and Riverglades. Quest IDs, new talents and actual game rules require a fresh check in the matching release client.

Class talents and Legacy points remain separate. New dungeon and talent rules require verifiable checks before inclusion. See the download section above for the current free-preview test status.
