What is the best leveling gear in WoW Forever?
It depends on your class, spec, level and faction. Pick your class and spec, set your level and faction, and the gear window shows the best item for each slot that you can get at that level, with the quest, dungeon boss, vendor or profession that gives it.
How are the best-in-slot items picked?
For every slot we score each item you can get at that level by your spec’s stat weights and pick the highest score.

If no item adds anything for the spec, the slot says No clear upgrade.
Why do Alliance and Horde get different gear?
Quest rewards are faction specific, and so are some vendors. Dungeon drops and crafted items are the same for both factions. Switch the faction toggle to see the gear for your side.
