Gear evidence
- This public database capture does not identify a beta build or independently verify in-game availability. Listview coverage is not an exhaustive inventory of all possible equipment. Scores use editorial assumptions and do not simulate procs, set bonuses, percentage hit or crit, quest prerequisites, reputation or PvP restrictions.
- Captured rare and epic equipment requiring level 30 or below, plus fixed-stat uncommon equipment requiring level 10 through 30. Common, random-stat, temporary, profession-required, unknown-level and unsupported records are excluded. Each build also filters candidates by its own character level and equipment profile.
- The capture found 1692 unique records; 1640 passed the retained-candidate filters.
- These scores are editorial gear hypotheses, not Blizzard stat weights or a proven in-game optimum.
- The source snapshot is a filtered candidate set, not an exhaustive search of every possible item.
- Armor and weapon eligibility use the class/type fields plus a level-30 Classic progression model; no Forever client equip readback has confirmed those proficiency rules.
- Items with unreported required level are excluded from ranked picks; their eligibility is unknown and is not inferred from item level.
- Full effect text stays attached to each item, but proc chance, duration, uptime, unique-equipped rules, and effects not normalized into numeric stats are not scored.
