BEHIND THE FIELD GUIDE

Built for people who plan ahead.

Forever Builds is an independent fan project for players who enjoy planning a character as much as playing one.

Useful first

Our focus is small, practical tools and original guides. No account is required. Our pixel dachshund is Trail Hound. He appears where a short note or a reminder to write things down is useful. He is a site character, not a game character.

What our labels mean

• Confirmed: a specific claim supported by a linked primary source, with a review date. Announced plans can still change.
• Provisional: incomplete or not yet checked for the relevant game revision. Unverified source material is labelled this way until it can be checked against the relevant game revision.
• Recorded beta data: talent text and tree structure imported from a named client snapshot. The calculator now uses this data instead of illustrative talents; it is not an in-game verification by us.

Data and corrections

The calculators use the attributed Talents Forever export, including its beta-client data and later development-note updates. The current snapshot has been compared with Wowhead; known differences remain. The current source status is documented on the data sources and limitations page. New revisions must not silently reinterpret shared builds. We publish corrections with an updated revision and review date. Shared calculator links carry a data revision so future updates can preserve their meaning.

Independent house rules

The site does not read game accounts or certify character progress.

Keeping the campfire lit

The site uses privacy-conscious Umami analytics to understand aggregate visits and referrers. We may consider clearly labelled ads later to support hosting, with updated privacy information. The tools should stay usable, and commercial support must not determine the advice we publish.
