How these lists are made
Items and stats are read from the WoW Forever game client. Each item is scored with weights built from the spec’s raid stat priority on its build page (hit up to the cap first, then the main stats).
The client holds no loot or quest tables, so drop chances, bosses, quests and vendors come from Classic 1.12 data (CMaNGOS) and are marked as Classic data until Forever’s own loot is known. Forever reworked dungeon loot, so some drops may have moved.
Raid drops, raid-linked quests, world drops and PvP rank rewards are left out, and so is crafted gear whose recipe or reagents only come from raids. Procs and on-use effects are not scored, so trinkets like Hand of Justice rank lower than they play.
