World of Warcraft: Forever Arcane Mage - Gear and Best in Slot

On this page we will be explaining how to equip your Arcane Mage for maximum performance, from the best available items and where to get them, to the best enchants you should be using to further enhance your character.

It's too early to tell

Since the WoW Forever Beta was capped at Level 30, we were unable to check out some of the higher-level Gear and Enchant options. We've already seen quite a few changes at lower levels compared to other Classic and Era versions of WoW, so in order to not misinform players we will be updating this page once we have had a chance to look at the max-level gear and experience.

Once we've had a chance to take a look at the max-level gear, we will be updating our widget with the best available items. For now, simply enjoy leveling in WoW Forever, and check back later once we've updated this page!

Due to the massive changes to the profession system in WoW Forever, we will need to check out all the available enchants at max Level before we can give reliable recommendations on what to enchant your gear with. Until then, simply enjoy leveling in Forever, and check back soon for proper recommendations on the best enchants you can use to enhance your gear.
