Read before you plan
- Weapons, levels and stats are read from the WoW Forever beta client, build 1.60.1.70009, on September 27, 2026; the beta can still change before launch.
- Where a weapon drops, who sells it and which quest gives it are Classic Era sources from cmangos/classic-db: Forever may move or drop some of them. Crafted weapons use the Forever client’s own recipes.
- World drops and Forever-new weapons with no announced source start hidden: one is luck, the other can’t be planned yet. Their chips show them; “New in Forever only” turns the second on.
- Casters are measured by Intellect, Spirit, Stamina and spell power on the weapon, feral Druids by Strength, Agility and Stamina: forms don’t use weapon damage.
