Boss lists for Classic raids are the 1.12 order Forever inherits; loot is deliberately not listed because Forever changed hundreds of items. Blizzard (Sep 27 and Oct 21, 2026): Barrow Deeps, Hyjal Summit and Onyxia's Lair open December 9, 2026; all raids reset weekly. Molten Core, Blackwing Lair, Zul'Gurub, Ahn'Qiraj and Naxxramas exist in the client (build 1.60.1.70707) with no date; the roadmap lists two new raids for spring 2027 and a revamped classic raid for summer 2027.
