WOW FOREVER · BIS GEAR · BETA LEVEL 20 · CHECKED SEPTEMBER 28, 2026

Hunter best in slot gear.

Hunters in Forever scale off Intellect as well as Agility. Careful Aim at 5 of 5 turns 100% of your Intellect into Attack Power, so leather with both stats beats pure Agility more often than it did in Classic. The weapon that matters is the bow, and Lord Serpentis in Wailing Caverns drops the best one.

RANGED DPS · LEVEL 20

Marksmanship Hunter BiS

Hunter talents

Venomstrike from Lord Serpentis is the reason to run Wailing Caverns until it drops. The same dungeon supplies Gloves, Leggings and Footpads of the Fang. The melee slot barely matters, so the Impaling Harpoon from Captain Greenskin is there for its stats. Alliance get the Tunic of Westfall and two strong rings. Horde fill the same slots from Ruins of Lordaeron drops and quests in Blackfathom Deeps and Shadowfang Keep.

Stat priority: Ranged weapon DPS > Agility = Intellect (Careful Aim 5/5 converts Intellect to attack power) > crit; Strength and Stamina ~0

BEFORE YOU FARM

Hunter gearing tips.

  • Careful Aim (Marksmanship, 5 points) is what makes Intellect worth taking. If you are not in Marksmanship, value Agility over Intellect.
  • The head slot pick, Solomon's Comfortable Hat, has no known source yet. Take the Brawler's Leather Hood if you are a Leatherworker.

How these lists are built

The picks start from ForeverChanges' level 20 lists, the only ones that cover every spec for both factions, cross-checked against Icy Veins, Wowhead, Realm First and wowtbc.gg ("Also picked by"). Every item is read from Wowhead's Forever database, which fills in from the beta client as testers loot things. Blizzard hides item stats until an item has dropped, so a list can only use what has been seen. We check each pick fits its slot, can be used by the class and does not need a higher level than the beta cap.

Hover any item for the full Wowhead tooltip. The stats and totals on this page were read on September 28, 2026 and will move with beta builds.

Trinkets are thin at 20. The Minor Recombobulator needs Engineering 140 to use, and Lookie's Spyglass from Cookie in the Deadmines is there for its single point of Spirit. Crafted pieces marked "binds when picked up" can only be worn by the crafter.

The 3D preview

Wowhead does not allow its 3D viewer on other sites, so "See it in 3D" opens its Forever dressing room with the whole set already equipped on the race and gender you picked. Neck, rings and trinkets have no model, so they are left off there.
