Which bosses drop the most pre-raid gear?
Baron Rivendare in Stratholme and General Drakkisath in Blackrock Spire drop more table picks than any other bosses. Rivendare covers Helm of the Executioner, Legplates of Valor, Shadowcraft Pants, Thuzadin Mantle, Seal of Rivendare, Scepter of the Unholy, Dracorian Gauntlets and Ritssyn's Wand of Bad Mojo.
Drakkisath drops Breastplate of Valor, Shadowcraft Tunic, Dreadmist Robe, Shadow Prowler's Cloak, Brigam Girdle, Painweaver Band, Draconian Deflector and Tome of the Lost. Warchief Rend Blackhand, also in Blackrock Spire, adds the epic Felstriker plus Warmaster Legguards and Dragonrider Boots.
Are the dungeon sets worth collecting?
Yes, if your class has one. Blizzard says set bonuses were improved for Forever. Wowhead has confirmed pieces of nine class sets so far: Valor, Shadowcraft, Beaststalker, Dreadmist, Lightforge, Magister's, The Elements, Devout and Wildheart. Their pieces are spread across Scholomance, Stratholme and Blackrock Spire.
Darkmaster Gandling in Scholomance drops the helm of every one of those sets, so a single Scholomance clear can roll a set helm for any class.

Do the new Forever dungeons drop pre-raid gear?
Alcaz Prison does, but its drops sit a little lower. It is a level 48-53 dungeon, and Wowhead has confirmed a Defias Enforcer's Garb piece from Blazeroar. Blackmaw Hold (55-60) and The Shaper's Terrace (58-60) are endgame dungeons, but Wowhead has not listed their loot yet. Expect the table to change once that data arrives.
What about trinkets and relics?
Trinkets are sorted by what they do. Tanks get Counterattack Lodestone (Cho'Rush the Observer, Dire Maul), Vigilance Charm (Immol'thar) and Force of Will (General Angerforge, Blackrock Depths). Melee and hunters get Cannonball Runner (Cannon Master Willey, Stratholme), Heart of Wyrmthalak (Overlord Wyrmthalak) and Hand of Justice (Emperor Dagran Thaurissan). Casters get Draconic Infused Emblem (General Drakkisath), Mindtap Talisman (Magister Kalendris) and Briarwood Reed (Jed Runewatcher); healers share the last two plus Burst of Knowledge (Ambassador Flamelash). Several of them carry Forever twists per Wowhead: Counterattack Lodestone's attack power is doubled against Mechanical units, Draconic Infused Emblem's bonus is doubled against Dragonkin, and Heart of Wyrmthalak deals three times as much damage to Orcs. Relics are clearer: Idol of Brutality from Magistrate Barthilas in Stratholme and Libram of Divinity from several Scholomance bosses both sit at item level 65.
How geared do you need to be on December 9?
You do not need a full table of picks to step into Barrow Deeps. Blizzard developers have described it as closer to Karazhan than Upper Blackrock Spire, and expect it to be puggable within weeks or months. In practice, a mix of the picks above and decent blues is enough for a first look.
If you would rather spend the weeks before December 9 learning your class than resetting Stratholme, PewPewShop offers Forever pre-raid gearing from from 270 EUR and single dungeon runs from from 23 EUR.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best pre-raid gear in WoW Forever?
No simulated best-in-slot list for WoW: Forever exists yet, because Wowhead is still collecting loot data. The strongest confirmed drops by item level come from Stratholme, Blackrock Spire, Scholomance and Dire Maul. Baron Rivendare and General Drakkisath drop the most top picks across all roles.
Which dungeons should I farm for pre-raid gear in WoW Forever?
Start with Stratholme and Blackrock Spire, then Scholomance and Dire Maul. Blackrock Depths adds pieces such as Naglering and Imperial Jewel. Sunken Temple and Alcaz Prison drop lower-level rares. Blackmaw Hold and The Shaper's Terrace have no confirmed loot on Wowhead yet.
When do raids open in WoW Forever?
Raids unlock on December 9, 2026. Barrow Deeps (10 players, eight bosses), Hyjal Summit (20 players, 13 bosses) and the 40-player Onyxia's Lair all open on that date. Onyxia requires every raider to carry the Drakefire Amulet from a faction attunement questline.
Do WoW Forever dungeon sets have set bonuses?
Yes. Blizzard says it improved set bonuses in Forever, and Wowhead has confirmed pieces of nine class dungeon sets, including Valor, Shadowcraft, Dreadmist and Wildheart. Pieces come from Scholomance, Stratholme and Blackrock Spire, and Darkmaster Gandling drops the helm of each set.
Does hit rating work for spells in WoW Forever?
Yes. Forever merges melee, spell and ranged hit chance into one stat, and does the same with the three crit chances. Any item with hit or crit now helps every class, which makes many pre-raid pieces more flexible than they were in the original game.
