WoW Forever Arcane Mage Enchants and Consumables
Tooltips: Wowhead Forever DB, exact matches only (build 70532, 28 Oct).
Wowhead wrote this while the beta was capped at 30, so it covers levelling. Level 60 picks are their projection [Unconfirmed]. Tested level 60 data: Not yet published, updated at launch.
Forever's mage kit is mostly shared across specs: Revelation on the staff, Mystic kits on armor, Spellblasting potions, Arcane elixirs and Spell Power food. What changes by spec is the mage scrolls. Arcane gets one specific edge: Intellect also adds damage to Arcane Blast and Arcane Wrath (not Arcane Missiles or fillers), but Spell Power food still wins at every level.

Enchants
| Slot | Pick | Needs | Gives |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weapon | Enchant Weapon – Revelation | 140 Enchanting | A non-crit can make your next spell +100% crit |
| Chest / legs / hands / feet | Mystic Medium → Heavy → Thick → Rugged Armor Kit | Level 15 / 30 / 40 / 50 | +2 / +4 / +5 / +6 Spell Power plus armor |

- Revelation fits any melee weapon, staves included. DoT ticks can't trigger it, and the proc chance falls as your crit rises.
- For Arcane Mage, an armor kit on the chest beats every chest Intellect enchant for damage.
- The bracer Healing Power enchants and the Spell Power necklace enchant are new in Forever.

Potions
| Kind | Best by level (5 → 55) |
|---|---|
| Spellblasting (combat) | Minor 5 (+6 SP) · Lesser 15 (+9) · Spellblasting 25 (+14) · Greater 35 (+20) · Superior 45 (+28) · Major 55 (+40) |

All potions share one cooldown.
Mana gems (Agate 23, Jade 38, Citrine 48, Ruby 58) have their own cooldown, separate from potions.
Elixirs
| Kind | Ranks (level: effect) |
|---|---|
| Spell Power | Minor Arcane 1: +5 · Lesser Arcane 25: +15 · Arcane 37: +20 · Greater Arcane 47: +35 |
| Mana regen | Minor Mageblood 5: +3 mp5 · Lesser 25: +6 · Mageblood 40: +12 · Greater 55: +20 · Wicked Regeneration 55: +10 mp5 and +9 hp5 |
| Intellect | Lesser Intellect 25: +6 · Greater Intellect 37: +25 · Intellect 45: +10 |
| Max health | Minor Fortitude 2: +27 · Lesser 25: +120 · Fortitude 45: +200 · Greater 55: +400 |
Forever has no Stamina elixir; the Fortitude line raises max health directly. Spell Power elixirs give the most damage, Intellect mostly adds mana, Mageblood cuts drinking.
Weapon buffs and mage scrolls
| Item | Level | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Wizard oil (Minor → Brilliant) | 5 / 30 / 40 / 45 | +15 / +25 / +30 / +36 Spell Power (Brilliant adds 1% crit) |
| Scroll of Imbue Striking | 16 | Fires an Arcane Missile when your spells hit |
| Scroll of Imbue Accuracy | 25 | +0.5% spell hit |
| Scroll of Imbue Precision | 46 | +1% crit |
New in Forever: mage scrolls work as their own imbue, much like a Rogue poison. Mage scrolls stack with a wizard oil, so use both.
Food
| Level | Spell Power food | Intellect backup |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | Smoked Sagefish (+4) | Twice-Spiced Raptor Slice (+3, level 5) |
| 25 | Briny Seafood Stew (+14) | Raging Raptor Ribs (+10) |
| 35 | Nightfin Soup or Spotted Yellowtail (+22) | Raptor Rouladen (+15) |
| 45 | Baked Salmon or Lobster Stew (+28) | Soaring Pamplona or Bat Hachee (+20) |
Every buff food also gives +5% kill XP while Well Fed, and only one Well Fed buff is active. Westfall Stew (Westfall) and Sweetpaw Jam (Hyjal) give +15% run speed in their zone only.
Situational potions
| Problem | Potion |
|---|---|
| Bad pull, need to run | Swiftness Potion (level 5, +50% run speed) |
| Stuns, roots, slows | Free Action Potion (20, 30 s immunity, doesn't clear existing) · Living Action Potion (47, 5 s, clears existing) |
| Sneak past a pack | Lesser Invisibility Potion (23, 15 s) · Invisibility Potion (37, 18 s) |
