Where does this list come from?

From the game tables of the WoW Forever beta client (build 1.60.1.70532) and of Classic Era (build 1.15.9.70003), read on wago.tools: levels, ranks, costs, cooldowns and tooltip texts. How Classic players got each spell (trainer, quest, book) comes from the cMaNGOS classic-db project. Trainer prices are not in these files, so we show none. Beta data can change before the November 4, 2026 launch.
