· 1 boss · 1 min · Pre-raid

This is the best set our gear search found among items you can get before the first raids open on 9 December: dungeon drops, quest rewards, crafts, reputation and vendor items with published Forever stats. It averages item level 61.1. Your race decides the weapons, and the Blacksmithing crafts are the items most worth chasing.

Each slot lists the next best items and what swapping to them costs on this fight. A "level" swap is within the noise, so wear whichever you have.

Weapons

Your main hand follows your racial. As a Human you want a sword for Sword Specialization's 2 % crit, and the Human set takes Teebu's Blazing Longsword. Undead and Orc have no sword bonus and use Persuader, a Blacksmithing mace you can buy, since it binds on equip.

On most fights both factions put the Flurry Axe in the off hand, an old world drop with an item level far below the daggers around it. It wins because its proc is an extra main-hand attack: more of your best weapon's damage and more rage. For Orcs it also turns on Axe Specialization's 1 % crit, which counts with an axe in either hand. Its proc rate isn't in the game data, so our simulator uses the rate Classic players settled on. Treat the axe's lead as an estimate until someone logs it in Forever.

Head and legs

Lionheart Helm and Titanic Leggings are the two slots with real gaps: on a three-minute fight the next helm costs 25.9 DPS and the next legs 14.2 DPS. Both are Blacksmithing crafts that bind on equip, so you can buy them if you don't make them.

Trinkets

Adaptive Combat Assistant is sold by Pix Xizzix in Stranglethorn Vale and adds expertise, which few pre-raid items have. Rune of the Guard Captain is a quest reward.

Reputation pieces

Several pieces are reputation rewards at Exalted. On most fights the gloves and shoulders come from Forever's factions in The Barrens: Darkspear Raiders for the Horde, the Theramore Expeditionary Force for the Alliance. Ferocious Watcher's Signet comes from The Watchers. Start these reputations early; they are the slowest part of the set.

Enchants

  • Weapons: Crusader on both. Its Strength proc, Holy Strength, is up about 44.1 % of the fight.
  • Head and legs: Arcanum of Rapidity on both.
  • Chest: Greater Stats.
  • Wrists and hands: Superior Strength on both.
  • Feet: Forceful Rugged Armor Kit. Back: Lesser Agility.
  • Neck: Strength. Forever lets you enchant necklaces.

Consumables

The always-bring list: Elixir of the Mongoose (2.5 %), Mighty Rage Potion (4.7 %), Juju Power (2.2 %), an Elemental Sharpening Stone on each weapon (1.5 % each), R.O.I.D.S. (1.8 %) and Smoked Desert Dumplings (1.4 %). Windfury Totem no longer replaces your main-hand stone in Forever, so keep both stones on with a Shaman in your group.

The rest are small. Juju Might is worth 1.3 %, the Goblin Sapper Charge 1.0 % (it needs Engineering), and Dragonbreath Chili 0.4 %. Flask of the Titans only adds damage through the Undead's Touch of the Grave, which scales with your maximum health: it is worth 0.6 % to an Undead and nothing to a Human. The defensive elixirs add next to nothing to your damage.
