What our data is based on.
Announcements, client data and in-game observations may reflect different versions. Guildbound shows the source and data version alongside each entry.
Data update from 04.11.2026 · Build 70755
The new baseline data from WoW Forever 1.60.1.70755 is recorded in the talent trees and in the item catalog. Compared to our client status 70707 from October 31, 2026. The update package comes from a local client evaluation; it is not proof of all running server rules.
Hotfix comparison pending: The supplied cache is still from build 70707. Current hotfix rows were not imported. Shaman, Rogue and Warrior talent trees and values in game may therefore differ despite the new base data. Official information is shown separately alongside the client text.
Classes and Talents
- Paladin: New nodes, ranks and prerequisites, including Oath of Light, Shieldsworn, Stoicism and Boundless Light. Righteous Fury and Holy Shield have new data entries.
- Druid: relocated Feral and healing talents, Predatory Discipline, and links involving Lacerate and Primal Bite. This does not prove the active server version.
- Hunter: Positions of Improved Revive Pet and Pathfinding as well as trap data updated.
- Mage: new Ice Lance, Arctic Reach, Arcane Blast, Missile Barrage and rank/curve data.
- Priest: New Holy Binding records and changes to Renewed Hope and Shadow Word: Death.
- Warlock: In the base text, Improved Drains refers to Drain Mana instead of Wrack. Other hotfix changes must be checked separately.
- Rogue: new Poised entries. The announced talent rework cannot be fully reconstructed from the base export alone.
- Warrior: changed stance text; no new threat multiplier is calculated from it.
- Shaman: directly linked base-data changes concern technical attributes. This does not mean there are no class changes. Call of Thunder, Lightning Mastery, Stormstrike and Riptide are assessed separately using the patch notes; current hotfix data is missing from the package.
Items, professions and other systems
40 additional readable item details and four changes to existing details were imported, including Toughened Leather Armor and new recipe items. This does not mean 40 confirmed new drops. Vendors, drop chances and actual learning requirements remain unverified.
Newly documented entries include Enchant Boots – Speed (Spell 1328948), its associated items 289559/289560 and Bag of Violet Dust (289439). Recipe, reagent and tool links do not prove that a trainer teaches the recipe.
Other raw-data changes affect racial abilities, flight paths, mounts, achievements and UI text. Changed faction fields do not establish a new playable race/faction combination; missing table rows do not prove that rewards were removed or travel was blocked. No boss loot or drop chances were added from this data.
1,382 changes to spell attributes alone are not counted as buffs or nerfs. The tier list remains a preliminary assessment and has not been recalculated from these technical flags.
Sources and limitations
- Primary data: a local update package dated 4 November 2026, build 70755, in German and English, compared field by field with 70707. The selected tables were reconstructed from the checked baseline and complete change log, not freshly extracted on this computer.
- Official Blizzard Development Notes, Contribution 9, published 03.11., edited 04.11., reviewed 04.11.2026. Contains changes since 15.10., not only this client update.
- Community hotfix comparison, checked 04.11.2026; supplementary external evaluation, no own reproduction of the current cache.
The new Druid icon for Predatory Discipline is missing in the transfer and appears as a question mark. Existing images are retained with their previous origin. Old stored builds are neither deleted nor automatically converted into the new rules.
What sources we use
- Official notifications
- Dated Blizzard patch notes and announcements provide game changes and dates, and recent tangible changes take precedence over older previews.
- Community databases
- 60.tools provides item and BiS references, among other things. WoW Forever Talents provides talent, recipe and racial-ability data read from the client. This data alone does not establish server availability.
- Guides and counter-checks
- Depending on the topic, we link to Wowhead, Icy Veins or The Forever Era. Source and version remain distinct. A Classic, Retail or old beta entry does not automatically become current Forever information.
- Own classification
- Short explanations and planning instructions help with the use; they are not an independently confirmed ranking or guarantee for the best combination.
Build and retrieval date are part of the content
A retrieval date says when a source was read. The build identifies the underlying client snapshot. Both are distinct from our own in-game verification. There is no single version stamp that confirms every tool at once.
For example, a BiS guide and its prepared 3D model may use different builds. We state these separately. A missing race model is not replaced with a character from the other faction.
Missing data remains unresolved
An unknown learning requirement is neither level zero nor a secure trainer access. A blocked or unavailable source entry is considered unchecked. Missing loot is not proof that a boss drops nothing.
For details, open the source notes for the relevant tool and compare them with the current in-game tooltip. Dates link to the original announcement.
Open original sources
This overview explains how we work; it is not proof of a complete or continuous successful overall review of all data.
Have you found a deviation?
Send us the page link, the affected item or ability and, if possible, the original source with its date or build. You do not need to include private character or account data.
Report data errorsGerman game names and English originals
For German item and talent names, we match stable IDs and English source names against localised client data. Original English names are retained. If no matching German version is available, the name is marked (EN). Identical names in both languages may be proper names or client text that has not yet been translated.
The names are derived from: Wago client tables, build 1.60.1.70532 and the Localized Item Data from WoW Classic Forever, Build 1.60.1.70450, retrieved October 25, 2026. A newer name stand does not update the values or the talent tree. Their source status remains separately specified. Rank and effect texts are not yet fully localized; untested German formulas are not presented as ready-made tooltips.
Images and rights of use
Some game illustrations are currently replaced with our own neutral placeholders. Prepared 3D references and game music are unavailable. Game information and its source notes remain available separately.
We deliver game icons from guildbound.app. Your browser does not load anything from Blizzard or other external servers. Where possible, they come via the official Blizzard API (Game Data API, EU region). Until we collect the game data from WoW Forever itself, we obtain missing icons from the icon repositories of Wowhead (ZAM) and 60.tools via our server and use stored copies of the same icons.
