Where items drop is not in the game files Beta data
Loot tables stay on Blizzard’s servers, and the stats of 2,890 equippable items stay hidden until someone loots them. Each item shows where to get it when the game files or the quest cache say it (crafted, quest, vendor, PvP rank), otherwise from Classic data (cMaNGOS), tagged because it may differ in Forever; 387 of the hidden ones already have a readable effect and appear as “stats withheld”.

How these numbers are made
Forever computes item stats like modern WoW: each stat is a share of an item-level budget that depends on quality and slot. We apply the same formulas to the client tables (RandPropPoints, ItemArmor*, ItemDamage*), fill every effect text with its numbers, and read the zones behind biome effects from the spells’ area requirements.
Cross-check with Wowhead
On October 8, 2026 we compared 300 random items with Wowhead’s Forever tooltips: 517/629 stat lines, 209/209 armor values, 43/53 weapon damage ranges, 81/94 random-bonus stat lines and 154/164 effect texts matched exactly.
Where the two sources differ, and why10
- 5 effect texts differ only in rounding (Zandalar Freethinker's Belt (19826): effect text, Wowhead “Reduces the casting time of your Holy Light spell by 0 sec.”, ours “Reduces the casting time of your Holy Light spell by 0.1 sec.”; Blood Guard's Silk Gloves (16487): effect text, Wowhead “Reduces the cooldown of your Blink spell by 2 sec.”, ours “Reduces the cooldown of your Blink spell by 1.5 sec.”): Wowhead’s Forever tooltips round divided values to whole numbers, while its Classic tooltips of the same spells keep the decimals (Blink −1.5 sec, Holy Light −0.1 sec), as the game does.
- Jagged Knives (285282), “of … Protection” bonus 12742: the client data adds +1 resistance; Wowhead’s tooltip shows only the Stamina part.
- Signet Ring of the Bronze Dragonflight (21206): Spell Power, Wowhead 0, ours 21
- Signet Ring of the Bronze Dragonflight (21206): Spell Healing, Wowhead 21, ours 0
- Scarlet Chestpiece (10328): effect text, Wowhead “Taking damage while at or below 20% health grants you a shield, absorbing 480 damage for 1”, ours “Taking damage while at or below 20% health grants you a shield, absorbing 480 damage for 1”
- Enriched Thorium Helm (250597): Spell Power, Wowhead 0, ours 23
- Enriched Thorium Helm (250597): Spell Healing, Wowhead 23, ours 0
- Premier Centurion's Satin Boots (272570): Spell Power, Wowhead 0, ours 19
- Premier Centurion's Satin Boots (272570): Spell Healing, Wowhead 19, ours 0
- Outlaw's Collar (279253): Critical Strike, Wowhead 0, ours 21
A difference listed without a cause is still open: often one side already carries a newer beta hotfix. Our data is rebuilt with every client build.
Limits
Thrown weapons show no damage because no reference tooltip confirms the number. Wowhead does not display the new “against creature type” and profession stats yet, so those follow the same verified formula without an external check. Items whose data Blizzard withholds only show their effect.
