Phase 2 is Live: EpicForge BiS Lists Updated for TBC Anniversary

Phase 2 of WoW Burning Crusade Classic Anniversary Edition is now live across the servers.

The next major step in TBC Anniversary progression has officially begun, with players now moving into the Phase 2 endgame. That means Serpentshrine Cavern, Tempest Keep: The Eye, Arena Season 2, new reputation rewards, profession updates, and the next wave of raid gearing are now part of the live game.

To match the new phase, EpicForge.au BiS recommendations across the site have now been updated to reflect Phase 2 gearing priorities.

What has changed on EpicForge?

• BiS lists now reflect Phase 2 recommendations across supported classes and specs.
• Gear checks are now aligned around current Phase 2 progression instead of Phase 1-only gearing.
• Character lookups, comparisons, and raid checks will better reflect where your character sits in the current phase.
• Players preparing for SSC and TK can now use EpicForge to review upgrades, missing enchants, gems, and overall raid readiness.

Why this matters

Phase 2 changes the gearing picture pretty heavily. A lot of Phase 1 items are still strong, but SSC and TK introduce major upgrades for many specs. Some crafted pieces, reputation rewards, badge options, raid drops, and profession items also shift in value depending on your class and role.

The goal with EpicForge is to make that easier to see at a glance. Instead of manually checking every item, enchant, gem, and comparison yourself, you can search your character and get a clearer view of how your setup lines up against the current phase.

Useful tools for Phase 2

• Character Search: Look up your character and review current gear, gems, enchants, stats, and progression.
• BiS Tracking: See how close your character is to current Phase 2 recommendations.
• Character Compare: Compare two characters side by side to spot gearing differences quickly.
• Raid Check: Load your raid planner and check the raid’s gear, gems, enchants, and readiness before heading into SSC or TK.
• Battle.net Linking: Link your BNet account to quickly load and check your own characters and alts.

Keep checking back

Phase 2 gearing will continue to evolve as more players clear content, logs develop, and practical raid performance becomes clearer. EpicForge will continue to be updated as recommendations improve and as more data becomes available.

If something looks off, or if you spot a BiS recommendation that needs reviewing, please send through feedback using the site’s contact or bug report tools. The more accurate the data is, the more useful EpicForge becomes for everyone.

Good luck in SSC and TK — and don’t forget to check your gems and enchants before raid.
