Every slot below is our gear search's pick from items you can get before the first raid opens: Leatherworking and Engineering crafts, reputation and battleground vendors, quest rewards and world drops with published Forever stats. The set averages item level 62.4. Agility and crit drive it, Intellect feeds Careful Aim, and a few pieces carry spell damage for Arcane Shot and Serpent Sting.

Next to each pick are the items that came closest and the damage they would cost you here. A cost shown as "level" is too small to measure, so wear whichever you own.

Weapons

Your ranged weapon is Eaglehorn Long Bow on a one-minute single-boss fight.

The bows and guns sit close together on most fights: on a three-minute single-boss fight the next one costs 1.8 DPS. The exception is a one-minute fight against three bosses, where Hyper Deluxe Sniper Rifle Mk XVII leads by 14.7 DPS. That rifle is an Engineering craft. Eaglehorn Long Bow is a world drop and The Purifier a quest reward.

The melee slot holds Ironbark Staff on every fight. You never swing it. Its job is its stats: 2 % crit, some Intellect and 94 spell damage, which our simulator gives to Arcane Shot and Serpent Sting through untested Classic coefficients, so part of its 9.2 DPS lead over the next weapon rests on that. It is an Exalted reward from the Arathi Basin factions, The League of Arathor or The Defilers.

Legs, chest and head

Your legs and chest are where a weaker item hurts most. Without Sentinel's Chain Leggings you lose 12.1 DPS on a three-minute single-boss fight, and without Dawn Armor 10.1 DPS. The legs are a Warsong Gulch reputation reward, Silverwing Sentinels for the Alliance and Warsong Outriders for the Horde, and so is the necklace. The chest and Black Dragonscale Helm are Leatherworking crafts.

Trinkets

Talisman of Ascendance is the set's main trinket, and the next one costs 6.8 DPS. Rune of the Guard Captain, a quest reward, adds attack power and a little hit.

Reputation pieces

Reputation vendors supply a lot of this set. Apart from the battleground pieces, your shoulders need Exalted with a Barrens faction new in Forever: the Theramore Expeditionary Force (Alliance) or the Darkspear Raiders (Horde). Pix Xizzix, the Stranglethorn Vale vendor, sells Ranger's Belt, Arcanoweave Cloak and Cutthroat's Signet. Start the Warsong Gulch and Arathi Basin reputations early: the legs and the staff behind them are two of your largest gaps.

Enchants

  • Ranged: Sniper Scope on this fight. Of the two scopes in these sets, SAF-T Ultra Precision Scope adds 2 % ranged crit, and Sniper Scope, used on the Eaglehorn bow for the short fights, adds 7 damage.
  • Weapon: Agility (+25) on the staff.
  • Head and legs: the Agility Lesser Arcanum of Voracity (+8) on both. On a one-minute fight against three bosses the head takes Arcanum of Rapidity (+1 % haste) instead.
  • Chest: Greater Stats, +4 to every stat.
  • Hands, wrists and feet: Superior Agility on the gloves, Agility on the bracers and Greater Agility on the boots.
  • Back and neck: Lesser Agility and Agility. Forever lets you enchant necklaces.

Consumables

The ones that count: Flask of Supreme Power (3.7 %), Elixir of the Mongoose (3.4 %), Ground Scorpok Assay (1.8 %) and Juju Might (1.0 %). The flask's 150 spell damage only works through the same Classic coefficients as the staff, so it is the least certain of the four.

For mana, Major Mana Potion and Demonic Rune do nothing on a one- or two-minute single boss, and the potion comes to 1.3 % at three minutes. With three bosses up for three minutes it jumps to 7.4 %, so bring a few.

Five items in the benchmark's kit do nothing for you: Juju Power and Smoked Desert Dumplings give Strength, Rumsey Rum Black Label Stamina, Dragonbreath Chili procs from melee hits and an Elemental Sharpening Stone adds melee crit. Eat a food with Agility instead. The benchmark hasn't measured one yet.
