The Hunter tier set is the raid armor WoW Forever adds for the class, a new design rather than a returning Classic set. One set covers all three specs, so every Hunter chases the same pieces.
The colors come first, then the bonuses. After that come the routes to the pieces — and the raid is only one of them.

Hunters get one tier set for all three specs, Wildstalker Armor, and every piece of it, crafted ones included, shares the same look; the set hands out its bonuses at two, three, four and five equipped pieces. Five is the cap.
Every slot of the set has a raid version, and four of them (shoulders, gloves, legs and boots) also have a version a leatherworker can make. Both count toward the same bonuses. The catch is a limit on how many crafted pieces a Hunter can wear at once.
Blizzard names Hyjal Summit, a 20-player raid, and the Barrow Deeps, a 10-player one, as the home of the new tier sets, and both open on December 9, 2026. The raid pieces are item level 65 mail, Hunter-only and Bind on Pickup (BoP), and they need level 60.
| Slot | Wildstalker Armor piece | Armor |
|---|---|---|
| Head | Wildstalker's Helm | 338 |
| Shoulder | Wildstalker's Spaulders | 312 |
| Chest | Wildstalker's Breastplate | 416 |
| Hands | Wildstalker's Gauntlets | 260 |
| Legs | Wildstalker's Legguards | 364 |
| Feet | Wildstalker's Greaves | 286 |
These tooltips show item level and armor but no stats: Forever hides an item's stats until it drops for someone on your realm. Its raids also open without a dungeon journal, so the boss behind each slot is found inside the raid itself.
The crafted versions are item level 61 instead of 65 and Bind on Equip (BoE), so a Hunter without the profession can get one from a leatherworker.
| Slot | Wildstalker Armor piece | Armor |
|---|---|---|
| Shoulder | Wildstalker's Spaulders | 294 |
| Hands | Wildstalker's Gauntlets | 245 |
| Legs | Wildstalker's Legguards | 344 |
| Feet | Wildstalker's Greaves | 270 |
Every craft runs on Malleable Essence of Nature, which comes from disenchanting items from Hyjal Summit or the Barrow Deeps.
The crafts also need a Sewing Machine, a Leatherworking 300 camp object placed next to a campfire, which gives the camp the benefits of a Camp Tent as well. A leatherworker learns to place it from Blueprint: Sewing Machine, one of the Blueprints that drop from dungeon bosses, and our WoW Forever professions guide covers how camps work.
Every crafted piece is Unique-Equipped: Artisan's Tier (1), so a Hunter can wear only one of them at a time, whatever the slot. The Rousing Seed Pod raises the limit to two; it costs 10 gold and needs level 60 plus Revered with the Guardians of Hyjal.
That limit shapes the whole set. Before the Seed Pod, a 5-piece bonus takes at least four raid pieces plus one crafted piece; after it, three raid pieces and two crafted ones are enough, and the two crafted pieces alone already give the 2-piece bonus. Either way, the helm and the breastplate come from the raid, because neither slot has a crafted version.
For what it's worth, the cheapest crafted piece to start with is any slot but the legs.
Gloves, shoulders or boots cost 9 Essence the first time (6 for the pattern, 3 for the craft), and the first leg piece costs 13. Once a pattern is learned, every further craft from it costs only the 3 or 5 Essence in the recipe.
Both vendors stand in Mount Hyjal, below the Summit of Eternity. Aisarra Nightmeadow (71, 51.2) sells all four Hunter patterns for Malleable Essence of Nature, and Rhylin Stonethorn (70.6, 51.2), a few steps away, sells the Rousing Seed Pod. The patterns need Leatherworking 300 and bind to the leatherworker who buys them. No reputation needed, unlike the Seed Pod.
| Pattern | Essence cost |
|---|---|
| Pattern: Wildstalker's Spaulders | 6 |
| Pattern: Wildstalker's Gauntlets | 6 |
| Pattern: Wildstalker's Legguards | 8 |
| Pattern: Wildstalker's Greaves | 6 |
Survival has a trap talent that works on the same cooldowns as the 3-piece: Survivalist's Discipline shortens the cooldown of traps and Deterrence. Our talents guide walks through it, along with the rest of the Beast Mastery, Marksmanship and Survival trees.
