What Blizzard said
Blizzard's own posts that name 1.60.1, captured by our tracker. The reason an entry below exists is in these words, not ours; each is linked to the original.
Blizzard published New build 1.60.1.70291 on WoW Forever beta: 23 new items, 125 new spells, 2 new achievements under 1.60.1 on Oct 08, 2026.
Blizzard published New build 1.60.1.70170 on WoW Forever beta: 3 new items, 37 new spells, 1 new achievement under 1.60.1 on Oct 01, 2026.

New items
The build adds 23 items. Slot and binding come from the item record itself.
other items: Elemental Sharpening Stone (uncommon, bind on pickup); Free Action Potion (common, bind on pickup); Greater Healing Potion (common, bind on pickup); Grilled Squid (common, bind on pickup); Lesser Healing Potion (common, bind on pickup); Lesser Mana Potion (common, bind on pickup)
The build adds 125 spells. Spell records are the noisiest family in a client build (every new item effect, aura and NPC ability is one), so the names below are examples and the true count is the number that matters. The talent tree data (trait node entries) shows 2 added and 0 changed entries in the same build.
The build adds 2 achievements. Each line quotes the achievement's own description from the client, which is the criteria text a player sees.
Played in the WoW: Forever Beta: Granted for playing in the World of Warcraft: Forever Beta. Thanks for testing!

New maps and zones
The client's map and area tables gained 2 new area records (Dreambound Pinnacle and Twilight Hollow). A new map record is how a zone, instance or scenario first appears in the client, usually before any quest or encounter references it.
Computed from build record 12705 (1.60.1.70245) to build record 13307 (1.60.1.70291). Every count on this page is the number of rows that changed between those two records.
What each spell listed above is and who uses it, read from the current game data: school, cast time and duration, the skill line or Adventure Guide boss it belongs to, and its tooltip with amounts left out (they scale with level and gear).
Chilled Changed in this build: tooltip text. Frost, instant, lasts 5 sec. Current tooltip: “If an enemy strikes the caster, they may have their movement slowed by 30% and the time between their attacks increased by 20% for 5 sec. Only one type of Armor spell can be active on the Mage at any time.”
Before and After: Spell Values This Build Changed
Cooldowns, durations, cast times and schools that differ between this build and the one before it, each side read from its own build.
Each World of Warcraft game build is compared field-by-field against the previous build of
the same version line. Added, changed and removed records are read directly from the client
database, not from patch notes. Prices shown are the game's own vendor values, formatted with
live coin denominations; where a value is unknown it is left blank rather than guessed.
Counts are the true totals for the build; where a heading reads "40 of 11,892" the rows
under it are that many examples, and a record the client has not named yet is left out
rather than printed as an id. A removed record is shown by name without a link, because
the entry it pointed at is gone from the client. Every build lands in the
patch news feed the day it is ingested.
