Sources & methodology
The encyclopedia connects Azeroth’s history with maps and information about places, instances and characters.
Editorial approach
This page collects the encyclopedia’s main sources, data versions and licensing notices. Detail pages link here; evidence for individual records is also retained in their structured page data.
Maps and navigation
Zone and continent maps help with navigation. Map images are locally served in-game screenshots; QuestieDB positions appear as a separate data layer. Maps and labels are credited to their respective creators.
Game versions and data status
Positions, names and relationships primarily come from QuestieDB Forever. Direct loot, container loot, skinning and disenchanting probabilities come from a pinned CMaNGOS Classic-DB snapshot for WoW 1.12. These historical reference values are not confirmed Forever server rates. Missing or unconfirmed information remains labelled.
Sources and image credits

Client data takes priority for complete item attributes, effects, reagents and crafting spells. Incomplete client data does not replace complete reference values.
Auction prices are snapshots. Their timestamp, realm and faction define their scope; they are not live quotes.
