WoW Forever Hands: Best Gloves by Level

The strongest new gloves for each level band, then every hands item the WoW Forever client (build 1.60.1.70532) adds over Classic Era, and existing hands items whose stats changed. Datamined, may change at launch. The client has no loot tables, so drops are not listed; crafted, quest and PvP items say how to get them.

Best gloves by level

For each level band, the new hands item with the most stats for each armor type and role, by required level. Role comes from the stats: strength, agility and attack power for melee and ranged, intellect, spirit and spell power for casters and healers, defense or avoidance for tanks. A stat total is a rough guide, not a best-in-slot list for your spec. Items marked "source not in the client data" can be dungeon, world or vendor items; the client has no loot tables to say which.

New hands items (276)

Class filter uses item class restrictions and armor type (Classic proficiencies at 60); weapon skills are not applied.

Existing hands items with changed stats (272)

Items already in Classic whose stats the Forever client lists differently ("re-itemized"). Only the stats that differ are shown, before → after. The datamine does not give armor type or required level for these, so the filters above do not apply.

Source: WoW Forever beta client datamine by daybreakforever.com (from wago.tools client tables), beta build 1.60.1.70532compared with base build 1.15.9.69722, generated Oct 22, 2026. Beta datamine, may change. Game data facts only: names, quality, item and required level, armor, stats and effects as the client lists them. Drop sources and icons are not in the datamine; where a page says how to get an item, that comes from the client's recipe and quest data or the PvP item names. About our sources.
