# Launch Checklist

Do all of these before Nov 4. Everything else is in the day notes.

## Account

- [ ] Buy Skyborne Heroic Pack or higher ($29.99 minimum). Required for the Skyborne race; base subscription does not unlock it
- [ ] Reserve the name **Fifth Dreadclaw** during Early Name Reservation (Oct 27 - Nov 3). Two-part names are region-unique, so the window matters
- [ ] Check the Oct 2 cap-30 beta patch notes for anything that changed quests, XP, or dungeons (I keep this updated - see Open Items)

## Addons (install before launch morning)

- [ ] Questie (has Forever work in progress)
- [ ] DBM (DBM-Vanilla)
- [ ] AtlasLootClassic
- [ ] Verify interface version 16001 compatibility on launch morning; beta addons may need a TOC bump

## Character setup (do this before the queue, not during)

- [ ] Create the character: pick **High Order (Alliance) at creation**
- [ ] Keybinds set for Feral: Claw, Rip, Rake, Bear abilities, Faerie Fire
- [ ] Read [Reference](https://wiki.fifthdread.com/books/wow-forever-gameplan/page/reference) talent map so the first 11 points are automatic
- [ ] Know the first three moves: camping quest at 5, Feral Charge at 11, Bear Form quest at 10

## Wallet

- [ ] Expect to be broke. Bags first, nothing else
