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

Paladin best in slot gear.

Paladins in Forever play differently, and the gear shows it. Protection generates threat with Holy damage (Seal of Fury, Consecration, Holy Strike), so a Protection Paladin wants spell power as well as Stamina. Retribution wants a big two-hander from the Paladin class quest. All three lists use the Tenets of the Silver Hand libram, an Enchanting craft.

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.
Horde Paladins are Undead only in Forever, so the Horde columns here are what an Undead Paladin can get.

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.
