Where items drop is not in the game files Beta data
Loot tables stay on Blizzard’s servers, and the stats of 3,212 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; 430 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 September 29, 2026 we compared 300 random items with Wowhead’s Forever tooltips: 531/632 stat lines, 218/219 armor values, 38/50 weapon damage ranges, 72/87 random-bonus stat lines and 137/142 effect texts matched exactly.
Where the two sources differ, and why9
- Lunar Mantle (14247), “of … Protection” bonus 12740: the client data adds +9 resistance; Wowhead’s tooltip shows only the Stamina part.
- Knight-Lieutenant's Dreadweave Boots (17562): Spell Power, Wowhead 0, ours 19
- Knight-Lieutenant's Dreadweave Boots (17562): Spell Healing, Wowhead 18, ours 0
- Heavy Linen Gloves (4307): Spell Power, Wowhead 0, ours 1
- Heavy Linen Gloves (4307): Spell Healing, Wowhead 1, ours 0
- Spitfire Bracers (20481): Spell Power, Wowhead 0, ours 8
- Spitfire Bracers (20481): Spell Healing, Wowhead 8, ours 0
- Stonemason Trousers (1934): Agility, Wowhead 4, ours 7
- Stonemason Trousers (1934): Spirit, Wowhead 4, ours 7
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.
