Beta datamining

WoW Forever Gear Sets & Set Bonuses

A source-ranked overview of the new and reworked set bonuses found in the Beta client. Datamined effects are provisional and should not be treated as launch-final.

Research data — some details remain provisional. Specific tooltips, ranks, placements, level ranges, boss lists, loot details, or other granular values may still come from gameplay footage, media reporting, community transcription, or estimates. These details should be rechecked against Beta and release data as it becomes available.

Evidence level: Datamined

Wowhead explicitly warns that these results come from Beta-client datamining and that some Season of Discovery remnants can appear in the data. This page therefore records structural changes and representative sets without treating granular values as final.

Most important structural change

Tier 0 and upgraded 0.5 dungeon sets currently show bonus breakpoints at 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 pieces, replacing Classic’s familiar 2, 4, 6, 8-piece structure.

Build 1.60.1.69913 snapshot

Build 69913 cleaned up duplicate tier records: all 18 currently datamined new raid-tier sets resolve to six slots. The same build added 129 item records, but the data does not attach a confirmed drop source to every item.

Quest items worth tracking

Drained VesselMulgore Expansion Plans

Drained Vessel is a legendary quest-item record and Mulgore Expansion Plans is a quest-starting item. Neither has enough quest-chain context yet to justify a standalone wiki page.

Beta observed: First Mate Band spans Deadmines and a level-60 Epic

Beta observed

Players have reported First Mate Band from Mr. Smite in Deadmines, while the other half of the two-piece set, Band of the Better Half, is currently a level-60 Epic with an unknown acquisition source.

Reported drop

Mr. Smite — Deadmines

Other set piece

Band of the Better Half · Lv. 60

Currently shown two-piece bonuses

• Chance on melee swing to become Angry, increasing Strength by 50 for 10 sec.
• +20 Strength

This is Beta-observed evidence. Drops, values, and the source of the other set piece can still change, and this does not establish a general rule that all low-level dungeon gear is meant to remain relevant through level 60.

General sets

Existing crafted, world, and dungeon-adjacent sets show many reworked bonuses in the Beta client.

Dungeon Tier 0 / 0.5

The datamine shows five bonus breakpoints rather than Classic’s four-breakpoint structure.

New raid tier sets

Several classes show role-specific Tier 1 sets, suggesting separate gear pieces rather than modern dynamic spec-swapping bonuses.

Brand-new sets

Several names appear to be entirely new, but their acquisition sources are not yet confirmed.

PvP sets

Many PvP set bonuses remain recognizable but show numerical and breakpoint changes in the current Beta data.
