Who can use it
Cloth armor, so at level 40 and above it is for Warrior, Paladin, Hunter, Rogue, Priest, Shaman, Mage, Warlock, Druid. Below that, classes that later learn heavier armor are still wearing lighter pieces.
You can equip it at level 40. See the waist for that level band to compare it against everything else new.
What else fits the slot
New waist within six levels of this one. Stat totals are the sum of every stat the client lists, which is a rough guide, not a simulation: Black Cord totals 36.

Plan around it
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.
