Loot26

ClassicClassic data: it comes from cMaNGOS, the community’s database of Classic 1.12, not from Forever’s files. It may differ in Forever.How we use it

Forever’s game files have no loot tables yet, so this is what each boss drops in Classic, with the chance per kill. Forever may differ.

How to read this loot
Chance
How often one kill (or one opening of a chest) gives the item, in Classic’s data.
Quest-related
Drops depending on a quest (taken, done or available), in Classic’s data.
Stats hidden
Forever’s files name this item but hold back its stats until someone loots it, so it has no page here yet.
Random world drops
Classic’s shared lists of random greens and blues for creatures of this level: any of them can drop, each one rarely.
