Classic Era item finder

Finding equipment for Classic Era and Hardcore

The Classic Era list contains 16,253 named items. Hardcore uses the same item values. Narrow by the level you can equip, then compare a candidate with your current piece. A required level does not tell you whether obtaining an item is practical for a Hardcore character.

How to narrow your equipment search

For a Classic weapon search, combine the name with its weapon type and hand slot. Use a stat filter for a permanent bonus; a chance on hit effect is listed separately and does not count as a fixed stat.

Start a word from the name, such as "sulfuras" forSulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros. Choose two hand and mace to narrow that list. Focus or tap a name to inspect its tooltip. The page link preserves your filters, selected item and current item.

Item level and required level in Classic Era

A legendary's item level can exceed the level needed to wield it. Use the required level range for equip eligibility and the item level range to narrow the equipment tier.

Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros is item level 80 and requires level 60. Its binding is "binds when picked up". These are separate properties, so a matching required level does not override the binding restriction.

Weapon damage in Classic Era

Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros has a speed of 3.70. Add the midpoint of each listed damage range and divide by that speed: ((223 + 372) / 2) / 3.70 = 80.4 damage per second. This is the listed weapon damage before character bonuses and abilities, with chance on hit effects considered separately.

Is the candidate an upgrade?

For an Era replacement, select your equipped weapon and choose "Use as current item", then open another piece in the same slot. The hint subtracts current fixed stats from candidate fixed stats. Gains and losses remain separate so you can choose for your build.

Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros lists 12 strength, 12 stamina, 30 fire resistance. Compare these amounts with another two hand piece while considering its effects separately.

Using Brutality Blade as the current item and Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker as the candidate: +8 stamina, +8 fire resistance, trading away 4 agility, 9 strength. Compare effects before equipping.

Compare the same item across versions

Classic equipment can remain in later versions while its damage, binding or sell price changes. The comparison below follows this weapon across the catalogs and leaves absent values empty.

Before replacing your equipped item

Hardcore planning needs more than an equipment list. These entries do not give a drop location, drop chance or a safe route to the item. Compare listed base stats separately from enchants and temporary buffs.

Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros sells to a vendor for 33 gold, 26 silver, 23 copper in Classic Era.
