Don't let the prospecting rate from Tin fool you. It may be 37%, but good luck getting them. When you do get some, you get 1-3 usually. Happy prospecting!
~~Lloroy
I just finished prospecting 175 tin ore, which is 35 "prospects". From that, I received 20 shadow gems. Not sure why, but Blizzard must like me today
Prospected 100x of Tin Ore (5 stacks) and got the following:
8 x Shadowgem
7 x Lesser Moonstone
7 x Moss Agate
1 x Citrine
1 x Aquamarine

Shadowgem in WoW Classic and World of Warcraft: Forever
Shadowgem is in the Classic Era game data, the era World of Warcraft: Forever is built on. Blizzard describes Forever as vanilla World of Warcraft plussed up: its story sits in year one, characters level to 60 and stay there, and it launches November 4, 2026. Blizzard has not said which vanilla items appear in Forever, so nothing here is a Forever claim; it is the Classic Era record for Shadowgem next to the live retail market on this page.
- Is Shadowgem in World of Warcraft: Forever?
- Not confirmed. Blizzard has not published Forever's item list. Shadowgem is a Classic Era item and Forever is built on vanilla World of Warcraft with its story set in year one and a level 60 cap, so this page tracks it. Forever launches November 4, 2026.
