Decree No. 001 · To all citizens of Azeroth

The Ministry of Min-Max

The data has spoken.

By order of the Ministry: wear the gear we assign, take the talents we approve, follow the routes we print. Busy gamer parents, your play time is rationed. The Ministry will not allow you to waste it. Every directive is drawn from WoW Forever's own files, every number is verified, and anything unconfirmed is marked as such.

The Ministry's Branches

Each branch issues its own orders. Every order opens with the answer. The reasoning follows for citizens who want it.

Branch 01

Bureau of Gear

Assigns best-in-slot gear to every spec. Raid and PvP, Alliance and Horde. What to farm now and what to plan around. Wear what is assigned.

Issues: Directives
Branch 02

Department of Leveling

Controls the road to 60. Stat priority by level bracket, gear checkpoints, approved talents and the routes you will follow.

Issues: Directives
Branch 03

Office of Numbers

Keeps the official math. Hit caps, stat points and gear scoring, explained once in plain numbers. The math is not up for debate.

How the Ministry Works

The Ministry does not guess. When it estimates, it says so.

I.

Built from the game's own files

Item stats, talents, quests and maps come from WoW Forever's own data. Classic guides and memory are not admissible.

II.

Every number cross-checked

Every published list is audited against the data and checked against independent databases before release. No exceptions.

III.

Unconfirmed means labeled

If the files don't confirm it, it is marked. Estimates are called estimates. Nothing is called confirmed until it is.

Beta data Model estimate Confirmed in game The three official classifications. Learn them.

Internal memorandum · Re: beta data

Beta data is temporary

All pre-launch directives are issued from beta data. It has served the Ministry well. Its service is nearly over.

When WoW Forever launches, the Ministry will seize the live records. Beta figures will be inspected. Any number that fails inspection will be taken away in the night and replaced with the correct one. Directives built on it will be quietly reissued. The previous version was never wrong because it never existed.

Citizens are advised not to remember outdated directives. Always obey the latest version.

Notice to all citizens
