Which level 60 dungeons matter most
How many of the 27 specs get at least one of their top picks from each dungeon:
- Stratholme (Undead): 26 specs
- Dire Maul North: 25 specs
- Scholomance: 23 specs
- Blackrock Depths: 22 specs
- Stratholme (Live): 18 specs
- Dire Maul East: 12 specs
- Dire Maul West: 10 specs
- Lower Blackrock Spire: 7 specs
- Upper Blackrock Spire: 3 specs
Locations are from the Classic drop lists. Many Classic pre-raid items, including much of Upper Blackrock Spire's and Stratholme's loot, are not in the Forever client at all and are left out.
How this list is built
- Items need required level 50+, rare quality or better, and must still be in the WoW Forever client. Their stats are the Forever ones.
- Sources are the Classic drop lists of the nine level 60 dungeons and this site's crafting recipes. Forever's loot tables are not in the client.
- Each spec only sees what it can use: class restrictions, its armor types and the weapons its class can learn.
- The order comes from our stat weights for each spec, shown on its page.

Pre-raid gear FAQ
What is pre-raid gear in WoW Forever?
The gear you collect at level 60 before your first raid: blue and purple items from the level 60 dungeons, crafted pieces and quest rewards. This page lists the ones with a known source, ranked for each spec.
Are the dungeon drop locations confirmed for WoW Forever?
Not by the client. WoW Forever's loot tables are server-side, so the locations come from the Classic drop lists, for items that are still in the Forever client. Many Classic pre-raid items were removed from Forever and are left out.
Why is a new Forever item missing from the list?
The client data does not say where new Forever items drop. Until a source is known they are not ranked; every new item is on the gear pages by slot.
How are the items ranked?
Each spec has stat weights, shown on its page. An item's score is its Forever stats times those weights, plus weapon damage for melee and hunters. It is a rough guide for what to farm first, not a simulation.
