Sources and limits

QuestieDB supplies the Classic quest details and approximate locations above. They are not verified for Forever or in game. Owner beta observations are marked separately and do not establish rewards for every character or level. 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.
