In WoW Forever, a rare is worth the detour again. We have 48 rares placed in 19 zones: the three usual Barrens rares now drop a set, a new elite patrols the Wetlands and ends in a ring for any level, and every starting zone has rares of its own, several of them new hunter pets.
Where this comes from. Positions come from Wowhead's Forever database; drops and routes from what players have reported in the beta, collected by foreverchanges.pro. We have not checked it in game: treat it as a lead, not as fact. We will update it as more information comes in.
