Enchants

What the Frost Death Knights above put on the gear above, slot by slot. An enchant counts once per character however many of a slot they wear it on, so both rings together are one — which is why a card can total less than the gear card above it.

Gems and embellishments

One list each rather than one per slot: the same gem goes wherever a Frost Death Knight has a socket. An embellishment is named by itself rather than by the piece it was crafted onto, because a dozen pieces carry the same one. Both count a character once however many they wear it on. Point at a row for what it grants.

For gamers, by gamers

purge is the head of World of Warcraft's PvP ladder, rebuilt from Blizzard's own data.

Cut: The top 50 of every specialization, EU and US merged into one list by rating.
Updated: Every few hours — last crawl 2026-08-26T18:51:11Z.
Source: Blizzard's Game Data API, off the profiles of live characters. Nothing here is entered by hand.
Caveat: This is whatever a character was wearing when it was read, so nothing filters out someone who logged out in their PvE gear.
