Start with the original announcement
The reference library combines Blizzard’s announcements, a firsthand PTR gameplay and interface report, and client-database quest and achievement records. It also labels reported store prices from PTR catalogs. These sources describe different stages of development; preview features and values are not automatically final live specifications.

Video and artwork provenance
The video library distinguishes official announcements from creator recordings and commentary, linking each player to its source context and original upload. Community recording titles and creators were checked using YouTube oEmbed metadata through a relay; playback and upload timestamps were not independently verified. The Talebound trailer and developer panel were linked from Blizzard’s own articles. The State of Azeroth video provides earlier roadmap context.
Official announcement artwork and the individually captioned class and tale previews from the demo announcement are credited to Blizzard Entertainment. The character, Scribe, Outfitter, Arcanist, Antiquarian and Book of Shadows screenshots come from Medievaldragon’s firsthand PTR report on Blizzplanet. Their article captions retain the screenshot source and PTR context. Artwork illustrates the setting; interface screenshots document the shown preview and do not establish final live tuning.
What is not yet verified
The library now includes sourced PTR quest goals, achievement criteria and reported decor prices. Preview values remain labeled, while missing prices, boss-specific attack scripts and measured class rankings are left unfilled. Each new factual table links back to its evidence.

The community desk links to independent references, calculators, discussions and player perspectives. These are useful secondary sources and are labeled separately from Blizzard announcements.
