EQUIPMENT / PLAN YOUR NEXT REWARD

Choose equipment by documented bonuses, recorded character-level requirements and acquisition source. Each result links to its tooltip and evidence.

Further original reward records

The expanded source list connects original Skyborne reward and Dalaran equipment articles. Each record retains its own use requirements; these links do not establish a complete leveling set or a role ranking.

More source-linked equipment references

The additional source list links Wetlands quest equipment and four crafted outputs. Each article retains use requirements and acquisition evidence; this is not a role ranking or a complete leveling set.

Further source-linked choices

Old Ironforge Incursion and Test Your Theory connect original reward options. Review the individually sourced Glowing Copper Boots and Glimmering Staff requirements before planning a craft. Equipment sources links their acquisition evidence; no role ranking is inferred.

Start with your activity

Activity	Where to look
Hall of Thanes	Documented early dungeon equipment, including Fang of Magmatus for its recorded spell bonus.
Ruins of Lordaeron	Individual drop references and set-piece evidence complement A Frightened Request, The New Plague and Bloodied Insignia quest choices.
Excavation Site: Wetlands	Saltspine, Shadetooth and Relic Guardian link their individually checked drops. Changing Tastes and the relic follow-ups cover separate quest rewards.
City of Dalaran	Check Heart of Disruption variants, Starving Arcane, Power Overwhelming, The Grave Knight and A Green Sample, then the dungeon's separate drop references.
Crafting	Recipes and Recipe calculator connect supported material lists with learning and output references. Verify the learning source on the individual recipe before planning purchases.

Read the level columns

Required level is the recorded character-level requirement. Item level describes equipment and remains a separate value. A blank required level means the inspected source did not establish it. Dungeon level bands and quest acceptance levels cannot fill that blank.

Equipment by focus

These are broad editorial groups based on recorded tooltip bonuses. Compare the full tooltip, slot, weapon or armor proficiency, and restrictions against your current equipment. Items can appear in more than one group when their recorded bonuses support each focus. School-specific bonuses and magic-damage weapons keep their individual tooltip details; a focus label does not grant bonuses absent from that tooltip. These lists are incomplete and do not establish best-in-slot rankings.
