Classic vs Forever items: how to check provenance
Understand item evidence levels before buying or equipping.
Editorial review: 10 October 2026
Does an item database entry prove availability?
No. ForEveroth separates historical Classic references, Forever client data and community-reported beta drops. A datamined entry may not be obtainable in game.
Where can you check an item's source?
Use the item catalogue for search and filters, BiS by level for class and level restrictions, and Vendors for sale-by-sale provenance. None of these is guaranteed live stock or loot.
What changes at level 30?
The beta cap makes items with higher required levels unusable even when listed in the files. Classic level-60 pre-raid lists remain future references.
