Malistar's Defender
A level-1 copy of the Classic Malistar's Defender: epic quality, item level 30, usable from level 1, under a new item id in the WoW Forever client (build 1.60.1.70532).
The Daybreak datamine lists it among 110 event items: the nine tier 1 sets and seven Classic raid weapons such as Thunderfury, all at required level 1. Nothing in the client says which event hands them out or how, so treat this as unconfirmed. It is not the level 60 raid piece.

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.
