About this WoW Forever guide

What the badges mean

Best pick is the pair to take for that goal. Or gives another good pick and when to take it. A lock badge means the item binds when picked up, so only its crafter can use it. An open badge means it binds when equipped, so any crafter can make it for you. Camp values are the level 60 values. Class buff values are the WoW Forever values: Mark of the Wild and Power Word: Fortitude include their old Improved talents, which are built in now.
