How many items are in World of Warcraft: Forever?

27,551 items are in the Forever catalog across 13 classes: 12,848 armor, 3,879 quest, 2,879 recipe, 2,736 weapon, 2,258 consumable and the rest. 4,973 of them did not exist in Classic Era.

Where does the item list come from?

From the game itself: the Classic Era catalog through the Blizzard Game Data API, and the Forever additions from the Forever game client, read again with every build. Nothing is copied from a fan database.

What is on an item page?

The tooltip, vendor prices, the recipes that make or use it, where players have seen it drop, sold or fished, the auction house price on every scanned market with 7 and 30 day medians, and for reagents the recipe that pays most right now and whether to farm it or buy it.

Which items are new in Forever?

Every item present in Forever and absent from Classic Era is listed by class and by profession on the New in Forever page, 4,973 of them at the current build. Each has its own page with the build it appeared in.

Do the items change between builds?

Yes. The game data is read build by build and an item can be renamed, retuned or removed between builds; its page stays up and the build changes page records what happened, so a plan is never built on an item that quietly went away.

Every item World of Warcraft: Forever carries, the Classic Era catalog and everything Forever adds on top, from the game's own data.

By class

How the catalog is built

The list starts from the Classic Era catalog, which Forever inherits whole, and adds every item the Forever client carries that Era never had. Each game build is read again, so a renamed, removed or newly added item shows up on the next import and is recorded on the build changes page. Items are grouped the way the game groups them, by class and then subclass, so armour is split by material and weapons by type.

An item page carries the tooltip as the game shows it, the vendor buy and sell prices, every recipe that makes or consumes the item, where players have seen it drop or sold, and the auction house price on each market with 7 and 30 day medians. Prices come only from players scanning the house with the addon; the catalog itself needs no scans and is complete from the first day.
