WOW FOREVER · BIS GEAR · BETA LEVEL 30 AND 20 · CHECKED OCTOBER 15, 2026

Paladin best in slot gear.

At level 30 a Paladin gears out of Razorfen Kraul, Gnomeregan, the Scarlet Monastery Graveyard and the new City of Dalaran, plus the Blacksmithing belts and leggings trainers teach at 125 to 150. Holy now stacks Intellect first, Retribution wants the slowest two-hander it can get, and Protection still makes its threat with Holy damage, so spell power stays on the tank pieces. All three lists keep the Tenets of the Silver Hand: an Enchanting craft, and the only libram you can wear before level 40.

HEALER · LEVEL 30

Holy Paladin BiS

Paladin talents

Intellect first: in a long dungeon your mana runs out before anything else does. Death Speaker Jargba in Razorfen Kraul drops the Death Speaker Mantle and Death Speaker Robes, and the Royal Diplomatic Scepter (+75 healing) comes from the Dark Iron Ambassador in Gnomeregan. Blacksmiths make Prefect's Belt and Acolyte's Silvered Chain Leggings, Tailors the Gilded Slippers. Alliance get Prospector Gloves from Agmond's Fate and the Heart of Agamaggan from Charlga Razorflank. Horde take the Basalt Buckler from The Corrupter and the Satchel of Potions from the Excavation Site.

Stat priority: Intellect > Healing > mana per 5 sec and Spirit > Stamina

MELEE DPS · LEVEL 30

Retribution Paladin BiS

Paladin talents

A slow two-hander first, then Strength. Corpsemaker from Overlord Ramtusk in Razorfen Kraul is the weapon for both factions, and Ramtusk also drops the Tusken Helm. Alliance can do slightly better with the Rock Pulverizer, but Murdaloc in the Badlands is level 42. Blacksmiths make the Crusader's Chain Helm, Crusader's Silvered Chain Shirt, Crusader's Silvered Chain Leggings and Justicar's Belt, which add spell power for Seal of Command, Judgement and Consecration. Alliance wear the Cloak of the Divine Storm from their Paladin quest, Horde a Crocolisk Skin Gaiter from the Excavation Site.

Stat priority: Slow two-hand weapon damage > Strength > attack power and hit > spell power (Seal of Command, Judgement and Consecration deal Holy damage) > Stamina

TANK · LEVEL 30

Protection Paladin BiS

Paladin talents

Stamina first, then spell power and Intellect for threat. Heart of Disruption in the City of Dalaran gives the Spellguard Pauldrons (Alliance) or Battle Spaulders (Horde), and Ironspine in the Scarlet Monastery Graveyard drops Ironspine's Ribcage. Blacksmiths make Warder's Belt and Protector's Silvered Chain Leggings, both with Defense and spell power. Alliance take Ogre Grips from Hamhock and Auric Bracers from Reagents for Reclaimers Inc., Horde Razzeric's Racing Grips and the Undead Knight's Bracers from The Grave Knight. For the shield, Heart of Agamaggan from Charlga Razorflank, or the Basalt Buckler for Horde.

Stat priority: Stamina > spell power and Intellect (threat is Holy damage, Intellect pays for Consecration) > armor and block (shield required for Seal of Fury absorb) > Defense > Agility

Paladin talents

Spell power, then Stamina and armor. The Crusader's and Protector's Blacksmithing pieces carry both, and the Scepter of the Abandoned from The Abandoned in Ruins of Lordaeron is the spell power one-hander. You need a shield for Seal of Fury's absorb: Crest of Darkshire for Alliance, Deadskull Shield for Horde.

Stat priority: Spell power (Forever paladin threat is Holy damage: Seal of Fury, Consecration, Holy Strike) > Stamina and armor (mail over leather when close, shield required for Seal of Fury absorb) > Defense

BEFORE YOU FARM

Paladin gearing tips.

  • Tenets of the Silver Hand binds when made, so a Paladin without Enchanting has no libram on this list yet. The formula costs 45 Merchant's Favor.
  • Horde Paladins are Undead only in Forever, so the Horde columns here are what an Undead Paladin can get.
  • Blacksmithing pays off at 30: trainers teach the Chain Helms at 130 and Prefect's Belt, Justicar's Belt and Warder's Belt at 150, no plans needed. The Silvered Chain leggings at 125 need plans for 30 Merchant's Favor. All of them bind when picked up.
  • The City of Dalaran (28 to 33) needs one group member with the Dalaran Sewer Key from the attunement quests, which start with Emissary Jacques in Southshore (Alliance) or Magus Wordeen Voidglare in Tarren Mill (Horde). Heart of Disruption, its main quest, gives one reward per character, so pick by spec.
  • Greater Friend of the Library (20 books) gives the Philanthropist's Ring for Holy or the Field Researcher's Loop for Protection.

How these lists are built

The picks start from ForeverChanges' lists, the only ones that cover every spec for both factions at 20 and at 30. The level 20 lists are cross-checked against Icy Veins, Wowhead, Realm First and wowtbc.gg, the level 30 lists against The Forever Era, Kami-Labs 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 list is for.

At 30 two kinds of items stay off the top line even when they would win. Random-suffix greens (the "of the Owl" kind) have no fixed stats to check, and rewards behind level 40 elites are out of reach for most level 30 groups. Both are named in the notes where they beat the pick. Class quest weapons are the exception: the Shaman and Warrior chains open at 30, so they stay on top.

Hover any item for the full Wowhead tooltip. The stats and totals on this page were read on October 15, 2026 and will move with beta builds.

Trinkets are still thin at 30. The Minor Recombobulator needs Engineering 140 to use, and casters who are Engineers can wear the Spellpower Goggles Xtreme from 215. 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.
