About & data
How Sixty Forever sources, marks and refreshes its numbers, and why the pages are this small.
Why this site
Sixty Forever is a free, lightweight alternative to heavy database sites, built only for World of Warcraft: Forever (announced at BlizzCon on 12 Sep 2026; in beta since 17 Sep, launch 4 Nov 2026). No ads, no trackers, no cookie banner, no framework: a calculator page is about 12 KB of compressed code plus one icon sprite per class, and it renders before any script runs.
Where the data comes from
- Seed: the community dataset published by talentsforever.com under CC BY 4.0 (export dated 2026-11-04). It is read from the data files of the WoW Forever beta client (build 1.60.1.70755); the project started as frame-by-frame reads of the BlizzCon 2026 demo, and those were replaced once the client shipped. Our copy is a modified derivative: re-keyed, sorted and with Classic-era markup removed.
- Markers: every talent rank carries a status. Confirmed means the tooltip text is verbatim, straight from the client files. Estimated means nobody has seen that rank yet and the number is scaled from a rank that was seen (rank 1 = 1%, so rank 3 ≈ 3%), using the same rules as talentsforever.com's own estimator. Treat it as a guess. Right now nothing is estimated: all 1,297 ranks are confirmed. The estimator stays in the build in case a future export adds talents the client does not carry yet. Each talent also shows whether it is new, changed, moved or unchanged compared to Classic Era.
- Prerequisites: arrows come from the seed, which reads them from the game client; the footage-era arrows the site once added from wowforevertalents.com were retired at launch.
- Numbers: tooltip text is the client's at level 60 with no gear, so flat values (damage, mana, rage) scale with your level and gear in game. Blizzard tunes the beta continuously, so numbers here can lag a live hotfix by an export or two.
- Refresh: the rebuild from client data is done: it landed with the 2026-11-04 export and retired the estimates. A timer re-checks upstream every 30 minutes and republishes the site whenever the export or their changelog moves, so this page is never more than half an hour behind them. Each new export, and every change to the site itself, is dated on the changelog. Share links keep working as long as the tree layout does.
- Library books: the library books guide is hand-curated, not part of the upstream export. Quest, item and object positions come from Wowhead's World of Warcraft: Forever database; the reward counts and a few positions come from beta player reports; the sources are listed on the page. Names and quoted text are Blizzard's.
- Blizzard's notes: a second timer re-reads Blizzard's own posts in the beta forum (development notes, known issues) every 30 minutes and republishes the digest page the moment a post is new or edited; the digest itself is written by hand against the pages above, so a fresh post shows as not yet digested until it has been read. Where a note changes something the upstream export does not carry yet (a racial's numbers, say), the page in question says so and names the post.
Current coverage: 467 talents; 1,297 of 1,297 ranks confirmed, none estimated. Source: the WoW Forever beta client (build 1.60.1.70755), via the talentsforever.com export of 2026-11-04.
Share links
A build is encoded in the URL as one digit per talent, tree by tree (for example ?t=3050-23). Trailing zeros are dropped, so links stay short. Illegal builds are repaired on load by replaying the points legally. Saved builds live in your browser's local storage and never leave it.

Our normalised JSON is available per class (for example data/warrior.json) and per reference page (racials, Legacy, pet abilities, library books, the sleeping bag route) and is re-shared under CC BY 4.0 with attribution to talentsforever.com and this site; each file carries its licence and a modification notice.
Privacy
No cookies, no ads, no tracking across sites. To see how many people use the site, pages load a small script from Cloudflare Web Analytics. It counts page views and rough country, sets no cookies, stores nothing in your browser and does not fingerprint or follow you elsewhere. The only data stored on your device is what you save in your own browser's local storage (talent builds, and which library books you have ticked off), and it never leaves it. The server keeps standard, short-lived connection logs for security only.
