Where this comes from

The raid, its bosses and their order come from the WoW Forever game files; item details come from the game files too (provisional items show what the live game shows until the game files carry them). Loot and drop chances come from data collected from the live game, matched to each boss by name within this raid. Where several bosses share one fight, the loot may be listed under only one of them. Quests are the ones the same data files under this raid.
