WoW Forever Gear Guide: Choose Meaningful Upgrades

WORLD OF WARCRAFT: FOREVER / GUIDE 05

An item is valuable when it improves something your character needs. Choosing by rarity alone can lead to unnecessary spending.

01. Identify Your Main Weakness

Frequent deaths, resource problems and slow kills require different solutions. Decide what you want an upgrade to improve before shopping.

Read the complete item description rather than focusing on one large number. A stat unrelated to your abilities may contribute little.

Compare fight length and survivability against similar enemies. Changing several pieces together makes individual improvements harder to judge.

Check quests, crafting and group content before buying. Avoid committing your entire budget to a piece you expect to replace soon.

Which role, activity and version does a list cover? Do not treat one ranking as a permanent answer for every stage of play.

Set a budget for your next upgrade and compare it directly with your current item. Save for a larger weakness if the difference is minor.

(Forever revises item properties and rewards. During beta, use verified item descriptions instead of presenting a final launch best-in-slot list.)
