WoW Forever New Items: Counts and Verified List

How Many New Items Forever Adds

Most new IDs are armor, recipes and quest items. Counts compare the Item table in both builds, so "new" means absent from Classic Era build 1.15.9.70576. That client also carries Season of Discovery rows, so an item shared with that season is not counted here even if it was never in the original game.Source: Wago Tools: Item, build 1.60.1.70862, checked Nov 8, 2026.

The other 1,979 new IDs have no readable name in this build, so nobody can list them from the client yet. RankedBoost reports 5,222 named new items, with 2,515 of them weapons and armor. Its count is close to our 5,068 visible records, but it uses its own filter, so the two totals differ.

New Armor and Weapons by Type

Armor is spread across all four types, and melee weapons outnumber everything else. These counts cover every new ID, including the ones with no readable name.Source: Wago Tools: ItemSubClass, build 1.60.1.70862, checked Nov 8, 2026.

New Weapons and Armor by Level

Most new gear with a stated level is for leveling, not the endgame. This table covers the 1,530 weapon and armor rows with a readable record, after we set aside rows named as tests, placeholders, monster weapons, unused or do-not-translate entries, or Premier PvP pieces.Source: Wago Tools: ItemSparse, build 1.60.1.70862, checked Nov 8, 2026.

By quality, those rows split into 676 uncommon, 549 rare, 189 common, 88 epic and 26 poor. Two legendary rows also exist: new IDs named Thunderfury and Sulfuras at item level 45. Nothing we checked shows they can be obtained, so treat them as data only.

Caster weapons are a small slice. Only 14 of the visible new weapons carry spell power or healing stats, and 8 of those are wands.

Level 60 Epics Worth Checking

These epics are item level 65 and require level 60. They are crafted, and each recipe spends Malleable Essence of Nature, a reagent the client says comes from disenchanting items from Hyjal Summit or Barrow Deeps. So none can be made before those raids open. The client stores each item's stat types and budget shares, not the final tooltip numbers, so the table names the stats and not the amounts.Source: Wago Tools: ItemSparse, build 1.60.1.70862, checked Nov 8, 2026.

Three more new pieces sit at item level 61 and require level 56: Red Dragonscale Leggings, Breastplate of Salvation and Timbermaw Tunic. All three are crafted without Malleable Essence, using large stacks of materials instead, so they do not wait on raid loot. All three bind when equipped, so they can be traded before you wear them.

This is a sample of the 88 epic rows, not a ranking. We make no best-in-slot claim, and the gear guide explains why.

New Relics for Paladins, Druids and Shamans

Forever adds new Librams, Idols and Totems, 31 in all, and 25 have readable records. The item level 65 group changes how specific spells work. The effect text below is client-stored.Source: Wago Tools: ItemEffect and Spell, build 1.60.1.70862, checked Nov 8, 2026.

The Steadfast Libram, Libram of Infusion, Idol of Swiftness and Totem of Urgency are Enchanting crafts that use 1 Malleable Essence each, so they wait on raid loot too. The rest of this table has no recipe in the client, and no row says where those come from.

New Trinkets With Place-Based Effects

Blizzard said some items would work better in certain places, and the client has them. Trinkets are the main example. Most of these add a bonus in Forest and Grassland areas, and a few key off cities, deserts or wastelands.Source: Wago Tools: ItemEffect and Spell, build 1.60.1.70862, checked Nov 8, 2026. The itemization guide explains the plan behind them.

New Reputation Rewards

Some new epics do show how you earn them, because the item row stores a faction and standing. Eighteen factions carry new items with a requirement. The nine below reach the highest item levels or standings; the others hold mostly low-level or non-gear rows.Source: Wago Tools: ItemSparse and Faction, build 1.60.1.70862, checked Nov 8, 2026.

At Exalted, the item level 65 rewards include Theramore Pauldrons and Darkspear Pauldrons, which store the same stats and budget shares. The same match holds for Theramore Handwraps and Raider Handwraps, and for Theramore Gauntlets and Raider Gauntlets.

The Watchers' rings are the odd case. The Tracker's Signet of Ferocity and its three siblings need only Honored and are item level 68, while the Warden's Signet of Ferocity line needs Exalted and is item level 65. The Exalted rings share a one-ring limit named Watcher's Ring. The reputation guide covers how Forever reputations work.

New Recipes by Profession

The 979 new recipe items lean heavily toward armor crafting. These are recipe item counts, so one entry can be a pattern, plan, formula or manual.Source: Wago Tools: Item and ItemSubClass, build 1.60.1.70862, checked Nov 8, 2026.

Among the 756 new consumables are 96 food and drink rows, 50 potions, 40 elixirs, 27 scrolls and 4 flasks. The profession guides cover what each craft makes, and the recipe reference lists ingredients.

New Mounts, Pets and Bags

The client also adds collection items. It holds 38 new mount IDs, 23 with readable names, and 49 new pet IDs, 30 with readable names. Named mounts include the Reins of the Pack Kodo, Verdant Sea Turtle, Crimson Rooster and four Swift Galestrider colors. The rows do not say which come from play and which from a shop or promotion, so we make no claim either way.

Bags go large. A Reasonably Large Bag stores 40 slots, the Felblood Soul Bag 30, and the Bottomless Reagent Bag 20. The biggest general bags we found after that hold 18 slots, including the Barkskin Satchel.

New Items Blizzard Named

Blizzard named two new quest rewards as examples of its item changes, and both are in the client. The Ladimore Heirloom Ring is item level 35, and Master Hunter's Spellsword is item level 43. A third new reward, the Master Hunter's Wand, sits beside the sword in the same item range. The itemization guide explains those quests and the wider changes, and the level 30 gear page covers a set of quest choices from the Wetlands.

X'caliboar, which Blizzard showed as a creature-effect example, has no readable player item in this build. The only readable match is an old monster weapon row.

Existing Items That Changed

New IDs are only part of the story, because old items changed under their existing IDs. We compared the 14,251 records readable in both builds.Source: Wago Tools: ItemSparse, Classic Era build 1.15.9.70576, checked Nov 8, 2026.

Quality moved up far more than down: 153 rows rose and 16 fell, and 96 of the 169 are weapons or armor. Many of those are low-level crafted pieces, such as Studded Blackjack moving from common to uncommon.

Among weapons and armor, 77 changed item level, 46 up and 31 down. The largest drops are Alchemist's Stone, from 60 to 50, and three Onyxia rewards from 74 to 65, including the Onyxia Tooth Pendant. The 13 removed IDs include Mystical Powder, Enchanted Powder and four Shaman's Notes items.

RankedBoost counts 2,484 changed original items, a broader measure than these four fields. Sets changed too: the item sets list shows which.

Still unknown after these checks: drop locations and chances, which items are final, and which rows Blizzard will never release. A record proves the client stores an item, nothing more. If you are still leveling, the RestedXP guide keeps you moving while you collect these.
