WoW Forever lists no level requirement for this item. MaxDPS ranks it from level 55, estimated as its item level (60) 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.
