Data & provenance

Every fact on this site shows where it came from, which game build it applies to, and how confident we are. Classic data is never shown as Forever data.

Confidence labels

Sources we use

• Forever game client (build 1.60.1.70245, product wow_classic_beta, beta). Items, item sets, zones, races, classes and instance maps come from client database tables, read via wago.tools exports. Every table is fingerprinted (SHA-256 below).
• Derived values. Forever stores item stats as a share of a stat budget. We compute exact values with the client’s own tables. The formulas reproduce 99.3% of stats, 98% of armor and 94.5% of weapon damage on items unchanged from Classic. The rest are genuine Forever changes. These checks run as automated tests on every build.
• Blizzard announcements (articles, blue posts, beta development notes) for dates, systems and level ranges.
• Community sources (e.g. Warcraft Wiki, guide sites) where Blizzard hasn’t published something. These are labelled Community reported, and conflicts are shown side by side.
• Player observations (coming soon): quests, NPCs, drops and vendors recorded in game by an opt-in addon.

What we don’t use

• Data scraped or copied from other databases (Wowhead, Questie’s database, other fan sites).
• Private-server/emulator databases, or packet sniffing.
• Classic or Season of Discovery data as a stand-in for Forever.
• Decrypted or hidden content before Blizzard reveals it.

Known limitations

• Beta data changes. Builds ship every few days; each snapshot is pinned to one build.
• Hidden items. Blizzard withholds many items from the client until they drop. They’ll appear once they’re revealed.
• Client presence ≠ in game. The client contains leftover and unused entries, including Season of Discovery maps and developer items. Developer items are marked and kept out of search rankings and lists.
• Inferred stat names. Some Forever-only stat types have labels inferred from client strings. They’re shown with a dotted underline.
