Plan a gear route you can actually finish before your first raid.
Start with your role
Write down the role and content you are gearing for. A tank survival set, a healing set and a solo damage set solve different problems. Do not combine their priorities into one universal score.
Choose reachable upgrades
Start with items from content your group can clear reliably. Keep a second option for a contested drop. A small available upgrade can be more useful than a perfect item you never obtain.
Keep evidence with every choice
For each item, record its current stats, level requirement and acquisition source. Forever changes itemization, so an old Classic list cannot establish a current Forever best-in-slot ranking. Ragetusk’s beta loot browser is a collection checklist, not a damage simulation.
Our publication gate
Ragetusk will label a set verified only when its item records, patch, availability and comparison method have been checked. Until then, no endgame BiS or pre-BiS rankings are published. Use the gear wishlist to keep candidate drops organized.
