Druids in World of Warcraft Forever have the very unique ability to shapeshift into a
variety of different animal forms that provide powerful bonuses. Some forms are associated
with a specific archetype or playstyle, while others simply make traversing Azeroth easier
and less cumbersome. In this guide we will highlight all the different Shapeshift forms,
and help you find all the relevant quest NPCs and unlocks needed to unlock them.
One of the key attractions of the Druid class is the number of Shapeshifts (or different forms)
you can swap into. Some, like Moonkin Form are unlocked via your talent tree, while
others unlock via interesting class quest chains when you hit specific levels. Below I will
explain what purpose each form holds, and how each is unlocked. Depending on your role in the raid,
you are likely to spend most of your time in a form with only Restoration spending most of their
time without one (sometimes referred to as "caster form"). Forms also have different appearance
based on which race you pick!

Travel Form
Travel Form increases your movement speed by a significant amount. It can only be used

remains fairly useful after that too since it can be used in combat and is instant-cast.
