Rares

Forever data versus Classic data

ForeverDB's rare list holds 354 rares and rare elites in 38 zones and 10 dungeons, 149 of them at or below level 30. As recorded on 24 October, 19 had been seen in Forever through the game's cache and players' ForeverDB addons. The rest, and every respawn timer, come from Classic's data (the CMaNGOS project) and are labelled that way. Blizzard's Deep Dive recap promises many new rare drops, so Classic loot tables are a poor guide.

The 19 seen in Forever, as of 24 October:

• Dun Morogh: Timber
• Durotar: Warlord Kolkanis, Felweaver Scornn
• Elwynn Forest: Mother Fang, Thuros Lightfingers
• Silverpine Forest: Gorefang
• The Barrens: Stonearm, Rocklance, Snort the Heckler, Humar the Pridelord, Brontus, and the four Alliance Outrunners (Aean Swiftriver, Thora Feathermoon, Hannah Bladeleaf, Marcus Bel)
• Wetlands: Ma'ruk Wyrmscale
• Scarlet Monastery (Graveyard): Azshir the Sleepless, Fallen Champion, Ironspine

Notable rares and drops from the beta

foreverchanges.pro collects players' and readers' reports (last updated 13 October). These are single reports, not Blizzard data.

The client also holds a Rider of the Plaguelands set (faster riding in the Plaguelands), but nobody has found its pieces; foreverchanges.pro guesses Plaguelands rares drop them, unconfirmed.

Some rares now drop companion pets (Wowhead): the Sewer Beast in Stormwind (Baby Crocolisk), Lord Condar in Loch Modan (Shaking Egg) and the Strider Clutchmother in Darkshore (Tallstrider Hatchling).

Rares in the new zones

foreverchanges.pro lists eight rares on Zephras Isle: Den'dralass, Fernfeather, Galemender Delanea, Mystmane, Slydris, Snapbeak the Quick (Thendal Watcher's Boots), Tel'daeor the Stormspeaker (Scout Ranger's Leggings) and The Lost One. It has one on Mount Hyjal, Pexmit. Nothing is reported yet for the Riverglades or Shen'dralas, which were above the beta cap. Icy Veins also notes a level 60 Mistmantle Prowler that troubled low-level players in Duskwood during the beta.

Dungeon rares

Icy Veins' dungeon guides list a rare in most early dungeons: the Deviate Faerie Dragon in Wailing Caverns, Miner Johnson in the Deadmines, the Deathsworn Captain in Shadowfang Keep, Bruegal Ironknuckle in the Stockade, Earthcaller Halmgar and the Blind Hunter in Razorfen Kraul, three in the Scarlet Monastery Graveyard, and the Lordaeron Captain in the new Ruins of Lordaeron. See Dungeons and raids.

Respawns and tracking

ForeverDB's timers range from minutes to days, but they are Classic's, so treat them as rough. Its rare pages show when players last saw each one. Addons with a Forever download on CurseForge (checked 26 October):

• RareScanner: alerts for rares, treasures and events on your minimap
• SilverDragon: rare scanning with drop information
• ForeverMapNotes: map notes for rares with drops filtered for your class, plus ore, herbs, chests and flight paths
• HandyNotes: WoW Forever: map notes for things to find in Forever

For Hunters, ForeverDB lists 63 tameable rares. ForeverDB lists Fox and Core Hound families in the client, but currently lists no tameable Core Hounds. A family entry alone does not establish an obtainable pet. On Zephras Isle, Mystmane (a bear) and Fernfeather (a tallstrider) can be tamed (foreverchanges.pro).
