WoW Forever Ranged weapons: Best Ranged Weapons by Level

The strongest new ranged weapons for each level band, then every ranged weapons item the WoW Forever client (build 1.60.1.70532) adds over Classic Era, and existing ranged weapons 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 ranged weapons by level

For each level band, the new ranged weapons item with the most stats for each 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 ranged weapons items (108)

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

Existing ranged weapons items with changed stats (25)

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.

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.
