Data Sources & Review Scope
Announcement coverage, website data application and source review are tracked separately. Dates below record actual source comparisons, not deployments; they do not certify all data or in-game behavior.
Three separate stages
- Announcement recorded
The announcement and original source are recorded. This does not mean every change is applied to the tools.
- Data applied
Specific overlays are applied to a catalog or tool. Their scope is listed below, independently of the announcement date.
- Source reviewed
The actual review date and scope are recorded. Comparing sources is not an independent in-game verification.
These are retained review records, not a guarantee of live site-wide coverage. Each date applies only to its stated scope. Unknown data remains unknown.

Weapons & Armor
Last source review:
Recorded & applied
30 primary-source item overrides from 2026-10-09, followed by 5,429 source comparisons for required levels up to 30 on 2026-10-10; 156 additions and a category correction. Other valid IDs remain.
Still unverified
Items requiring levels above 30 were not individually re-reviewed. Drop probabilities without traceable evidence remain unknown. Source-listed relationships do not verify probabilities. Base Wowhead markers lack a named baseline. The 2026-10-10 overlay explicitly compares Forever 1.60.1.70291 with Classic 1.15.9.69722.
Comparison markers & review scope
Reviewed entries compare Forever 1.60.1.70291 with Classic 1.15.9.69722. Other retained Wowhead markers do not identify their comparison build. These markers are not dated game balance changes.
5,429 equipment entries requiring level 30 or below were compared with the source on 2026-10-10. Other equipment retains the original Forever list; this is not an entire-site or in-game verification.
Base sources, normalization & licensing
- Base source
- 2026-09-30 Wowhead Forever category lists: 1,917 weapons and 9,457 armor entries. These are base snapshot counts.
- Normalization
- This site normalizes formats, preserves IDs and maintains localization; original captures and scope reports are retained for review.

- Wowhead and ForeverChanges have separate source terms. An open license for their full item datasets has not been confirmed; no CC BY 4.0 claim is made.
Talents, Spellbooks & Racial Spells
Last source review:
Recorded & applied
Current-source layer reviewed 2026-10-09: nine classes, 27 trees, 12 node overrides, 48 saved API routes and 51 spell-rank captures. Priest race restrictions added 2026-10-11 use the retained class_racials mapping.
Still unverified
Upstream may retain demo reads, Classic fallbacks or estimates; inspect per-record evidence. This site has not independently verified the entire game client. The October 11 review covers only priest racial mappings; the broader talent/spellbook source layer was last reviewed October 9.
Base sources, normalization & licensing
