Data coverage & sources

Forever Builds is an independent talent calculator for World of Warcraft: Forever. This first release uses community transcriptions of the BlizzCon demo, not an official client export.

What’s available

Looking for a Classic Plus talent calculator? Forever Builds focuses on WoW Forever. Its demo trees are separate from the talent rules in WoW Classic and The Burning Crusade.

All nine classes and 27 trees are represented. Missing rank descriptions are shown as unknown, even when scaling might seem obvious. Supplied descriptions are community-sourced and have not been independently verified. Demo spell costs and damage values may reflect the demo character’s level.

Data updates

Future client or official data will be published as new snapshots. Individual facts keep their evidence history; old shared builds retain their original rules. A new source does not retroactively verify the existing community data. Missing values remain unknown.

Sources & credits

Confirmed-rank additions use Talents Forever's JSON export, licensed under CC BY 4.0. We selected confirmed ranks and adapted them to our data format, excluding estimates. This license covers the source's contributions; Blizzard retains its rights in game content.

Initial talent data was adapted from the community transcription below. The calculator interface and allocation logic were developed separately.

Forever Talents — community demo transcription ↗
Secondary community transcription of demo footage. Not independently verified against the client. Missing rank text is left unknown; source scaling hints are not applied.

Community-reported Improved Expose Armor rank 2 ↗
One explicitly supplied rank description accepted under owner demo-phase community-feedback policy. Community changelog attributes it to Soda footage; not independently footage-verified. No scaling hints applied.

Talents Forever — confirmed-rank JSON export ↗
CC BY 4.0 community transcription. 32 source-confirmed rank descriptions added; not independently footage-verified. Adapted to our schema; estimates excluded. Existing fields retain their earlier provenance.

Build versions

Shared links include the data version used to create them. We retain published versions, so an update does not silently change your build’s talents or point allocation. This snapshot is demo-2026-09-14.1.

Artwork

Tree backgrounds use Classic-era Blizzard artwork as visual placeholders, not confirmed WoW Forever artwork. Artwork is © Blizzard Entertainment.

Saved builds & privacy

Drafts and named builds are stored only in your browser. They do not sync across devices and can be lost if browser storage is cleared. Save a build link to keep a portable copy. Links are not private: anyone with the full link can open the build.

Each class saves its working build automatically. Shared links load into that class’s draft, then the build details are removed from the address after a successful local save. Save copy keeps a named snapshot; New build preserves the current build before starting an empty one. Older data versions keep a versioned address so refreshing uses the same rules.
