Disenchants for

Disenchanting it from 30 recorded disenchants

An enchanter gets one of these from it. The value is each material’s chance × how many it gives × its lowest buyout, summed. It shows only when every material has a price. These materials account for 83 of every 100 recorded disenchants of Briarsteel Shortsword. The rest are not in the data, so the value is a floor.

· checked every hour

Vendor sell prices and recipes come from the game files. Auction prices are per item from Blizzard’s auction house data, read every hour (buyouts only; bids are left out); vendor prices of reagents come from data collected from the live game. Disenchant results are the recorded disenchants of this item in data collected from the live game; they need an enchanter. Each ruleset has its own auction house per faction; Blizzard’s data does not name them, so they are matched by size and still being confirmed in game.

WoW Forever lists no level requirement for this item. MaxDPS ranks it from level 9, estimated as its item level (14) minus 5, which matches the requirement on most Forever items of that item level.

Tied scores share a place. Ranks use the same class, armor, weapon and level rules as the build pages; race, profession, reputation and training requirements still need an in-game check.

Where this data comes from

The tooltip, stats, set, recipes and icon come from the WoW Forever game files (build 1.60.1.70888). Drop, vendor and quest sources come from data collected from the live game, matched to the game’s item IDs. Rankings use editorial starter stat priorities, not simulated DPS. How scores work.
