Sources and limits

QuestieDB supplies the Classic quest details and approximate locations above. Only fields explicitly marked as Forever observations have in-game evidence; the remaining Classic references are not verified for Forever. A single character's observation does not establish rewards for every level or character. Map artwork comes from the Forever beta client; its markers still come from Classic data. Revealed artwork appears only where its layers have been checked.
