    A talent in Classic, still listed by the beta files but outside the Forever talent trees: nothing says whether trainers teach it.

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.
