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