How these picks are made

Every piece of gear in the WoW Forever item database that your class can wear and use by level 29 is scored with the stat weights of your spec (attack power and crit for melee, spell power and intellect for casters, stamina, defense and avoidance for tanks, healing and mana regeneration for healers). The best piece per slot is shown, with two alternatives. Rings and trinkets show the best two.

This is a ranking by stats, not a hand-checked best in slot list. The database does not record where an item drops, so each name links to its WoW Head Forever page, which lists the drop, vendor or quest. Items with no level requirement and a far higher item level than this bracket, PvP rank gear and other classes' items are left out. For lists checked by hand, see Forever Twinking, which covers the 19, 29, 39, 49 and 59 brackets with a gear planner.

The twink brackets of WoW Forever are levels 19, 29, 39, 49 and 59: your character stays at the top of the bracket and fights only others of that range.
