October 10 preservation check

Beta record review (October 10, 2026) independently verifies all 611 retained 70291 export downloads and re-fetches five selected current tables. The 55,191-record published package remains byte-identical. New curated articles link practical source evidence without rewriting the older raw records or treating technical rows as playable objects.

September 23 additions

The supplement contains 48 quests, 148 NPCs and 143 monsters. These are newly documented records on this wiki, not a claim that Blizzard added them in the latest build. All source identities were checked against the original package; NPCs and monsters share a creature-ID space.

• Warcraft Forever now lists 1,524 quests (267 marked logged), and 1,087 creatures. Its newly imported 14 quests and 291 creatures retain unknown capture builds. Publisher-reported observations have not been independently authenticated.
• WoW Forever Talents lists 75 quests. We added 34 previously absent IDs after resolving one overlap with the other source. Each page explicitly attributes its cache to 20 September, build 69913; the site's newer general header does not change that evidence. Inferred quest-giver handovers and copied narrative text are excluded.
• The Glowing Shard (quest 6981) has no recorded rewards in the imported observation source. Its placeholder zero values are omitted.
• All 48 added quest IDs also occur in the archived QuestV2 table. This confirms identifiers, not objectives, rewards or current access.
• The older records preserve their source snapshots. This supplement does not silently overwrite earlier records with later observations.

Later beta updates

The original client-derived catalogue remains a snapshot of build 1.60.1.69913. The later official client update does not automatically update these records. Consult Beta changes and each article's own source date for subsequent evidence; a newer build announcement is not proof that any particular item or ability changed. The verified 69977 archive comparison found the exported gameplay tables unchanged and differences in two configuration tables.

The September 27 comparison now identifies changed item, spell and other client tables in build 70009. This does not retag the 55,191 existing database records: their pinned source dates remain visible. The separate licensed talent and spell reference has been refreshed, and the new Elwynn quest guides are curated articles rather than additional database identities.

The September 29 recheck identified client build 70009; the licensed export was unchanged at that check. Four added set records and the new curated item/vendor articles have separate evidence. The 55,191-record database remains pinned to its original captures. See the dated recheck and its scope.

The September 30 comparison covers the new client build 70124: 609 downloaded tables match 70009 and one icon-manifest table adds a single identifier. The licensed talent export was unchanged at that check. Neither result retags the published database records or certifies live gameplay availability.

The October 1 source check still identifies build 70124 and updates five learning-level annotations in the separate licensed catalogue. New Hall of Thanes loot and campfire references are curated articles. None of these additions retags or increases the frozen 55,191 database records.

The October 8 comparison adds an independently byte-verified archive for build 70245: 610 downloaded tables and 1,927,080 technical rows. The separate licensed reference now identifies build 70170 with labelled Warrior community hotfix overlays. These are reviewed reference updates; the original 55,191 database records are unchanged and retain their source dates.

The October 9 comparison adds build 70291's archive of 611/613 tables and 1,931,725 technical rows. The licensed reference review preserves each section's actual source build. Newly documented Dalaran quest rewards and Cooking articles are curated references, separate from the frozen database.

Exact-build client data

The item, spell, crafting and world records come from the archived Wago exports for Forever beta build 1.60.1.69913, checked against the collector's hashes. Blizzard's build configuration identifies this as WOW-69913patch1.60.1_ForeverBeta. Named records can still be inherited, disabled or unavailable.

• Item lists: 31,675 base identifiers; 19,171 ItemSparse rows. 12,504 item IDs lack a disclosed ItemSparse row in this export. We do not fill their names or statistics from Classic or another edition.
• Spell lists include creature spells, triggered effects and inherited rows. They are not all learnable player abilities. Spell-level bookkeeping fields are not treated as learning levels.
• Item stat allocation fields are not final tooltip values. Armor, weapon damage and bonuses are omitted where their calculation has not been verified.
• Profession recipes require an actual create-item or enchant-item effect. Gathering, tracking and class abilities are not inflated into recipe counts.
• Explicitly marked developer/unused records and recipes explicitly categorized as Season of Discovery are excluded. Their IDs and reasons remain in the local coverage ledger. Shared ingredients are not excluded merely because another edition used them.
• Location records include subareas and legacy instance classifications. The list does not establish entrances, encounter rosters, level recommendations or current access.

Quest and creature evidence

The public Warcraft Forever quest index, NPC index, 60.tools quests and creatures supply factual identifiers, names and reported fields. Narrative quest text and site-written guide prose were not copied.

• The original September 20 Warcraft Forever quest snapshot lists 1,509 IDs; only 103 have its logged flag. Unlogged placeholders are not treated as witnessed NPC handovers.
• 1,492 of the original imported quest IDs also occur in the archived QuestV2 table. An ID match does not verify quest text, objectives or rewards.
• 654 ID/name pairs agree between the two public sources. The matched names do not authenticate every other field.
• Missing capture builds remain “Not reported”. The raw player sessions have not been independently authenticated. Recorded drop counts are not loot probabilities or exhaustive loot tables.
• Creature entries are grouped as monsters only when the publisher reports hostility or kills. An unclassified NPC can still be hostile; friendliness is not inferred from a missing flag.

Earlier licensed spell text

1,732 spell pages include separately labelled text from the Talents Forever export for build 1.60.1.69876. It is attributed to Chris Baldwin under CC BY 4.0. IDs and names must agree before the older tooltip is attached. No Classic fallback or demo entry is used.

What remains incomplete

This is not a complete copy of the beta server database. Hidden item names and stats, all quests and their full objectives, creature spawns, vendor inventories, drop rates, recipe acquisition, encounter abilities and current availability need further Forever evidence. An absent source field is not a zero value. Record pages are kept out of search-engine indexing while remaining searchable inside the wiki.

The 69913, 69977, 70009, 70124 and 70245 raw archives each contain 610 of 612 advertised client tables. Build 70291 separately adds 611 of 613 advertised tables. Their technical row counts are not article counts. Raw archive coverage and the broader source library explain the distinction.
