If you’ve landed here from deep in a guide, you’re probably wondering who wrote it and how far to trust it, and this page answers both.
Who Restokins is
I’m Restokins, a Horde Tauren druid playing PvP first in World of Warcraft: Forever (world PvP, battlegrounds and duels). I’ve played druids for twenty years on both factions, and I keep a nine-character Horde roster to learn how every class beats one.
My own build is 35/0/16 Balance/Restoration (the build guide), but the guides cover every spec, Feral included. They were written before Forever launched on 4 November 2026 (9am on 5 November AEST) and updated for the live game on 7 November, and rest on years on the class, with the live hours still adding up.
What the site is
- Guides, an evergreen answer to an open question, revised in place at one address, so a bookmark stays current. All guides.
- Field notes, a dated read of a patch, a datamine or launch week that keeps its date, whilst the tested answers move into the guides. The blog.
- Addons, Battlebook (a battleground journal) and Rosterbook (a nine-character roster journal), both in development, not yet released, and needed by no guide. The workshop.
How to read a guide
A guide states what the live game has settled as plain fact, crediting the source. Where a claim rests on anything else, the sentence names it (“in Classic”, “on the beta”, “by the client data”), so no Classic or retail rule passes as a Forever fact.
Recommendations come with reasons, and a taste call sets out both sides. Until 8 November 2026 the guides used status labels instead, as the change logs record.
Every guide ends with a change log, newest first, which is the only place its dates come from. An Update is something checked, added or reworded, a Correction fixes something that was wrong, and a Major is a rewrite or a new section. A guide is marked New for its first 14 days, and Updated for 30 days after a later change.
Words you’ll see
- 35/0/16, talent points in Balance, Feral and Restoration, in that order, all 51 a druid has at 60.
- The short version, the summary at the top of a long guide, the answer before the argument.
The stream
The stream runs on Twitch and YouTube, Monday to Friday from 12:00 to 2:30pm AEST, once I hit 60. Until then nothing is live, and the homepage card will announce the first stream. After that, this stays a blog by a streamer rather than a stream with a blog attached.
Restokins is level 32, 28 to go to 60.
As of
Following along
- RSS feeds, three kinds. New guides and posts carries every new guide, field note and major revision, corrections and big changes adds every correction (the default view of What’s new), and each guide’s change log has a feed of its own, linked at its top.
- GitHub, for corrections. Open an issue on GitHub, ideally with a screenshot, and I’ll credit you by name.
- Socials, X and TikTok as @restokins, for clips and posts.
The fine print
restokins.com is an unofficial fan site, not affiliated with Blizzard Entertainment. The words, diagrams and art here are original, and the site has no tracking, analytics or advertising.
Pages you open are saved in your browser to read offline (a note says when you’re reading a saved copy), and like your text size and reading place, they never leave your device.
You’ll find me in the change logs until 60, and on the stream after it.
