Built from the World of Warcraft client build files and recorded Auction House snapshots.
The Castigator 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 The Castigator next to the live retail market on this page.

The Castigator is not traded on the Auction House, so it has no live market price. It is acquired in-game from the sources listed above. This page collects its first-party game data (identity, effects and where it comes from) from the official World of Warcraft client build.
