“No effect while in a raid instance.” That line closes the description of six of the seven Classic world buffs found in the WoW Forever client data, as well as that of all eight of Sayge’s fortunes. World buffs are temporary bonuses earned outside raids: at the Dire Maul Tribute, at the Darkmoon Faire, from a songflower, or by bringing a boss’s head back to town. In Classic, raids depended on them.
The texts come from the client database, published by wago.tools (a site that posts tables extracted from the game files), at build 1.60.1.70862, dated November 7 on the site. The Fengus’ Ferocity line already appears in build 1.60.1.70532 from October 21.
Six of seven world buffs carry the line, and so do all eight of Sayge’s fortunes
For each bonus, the spell table on wago.tools gives the text displayed on the effect, in French and in English, and the name table gives the official French client name. The table below collects these readings. The values come from the effect tables of the same build.
| Bonus (French client name) | Official English name | Effect according to the client | “No effect while in a raid instance” |
|---|---|---|---|
| Férocité de Fengus | Fengus’ Ferocity | 200 attack power, 230 spell damage and healing | Yes |
| Détermination de Mol’dar | Mol’dar’s Moxie | 15% more total Stamina | Yes |
| Jugeote de Slip’kik | Slip’kik’s Savvy | 3% chance to critically hit, all spells and attacks | Yes |
| Cri de ralliement du tueur de dragon | Rallying Cry of the Dragonslayer | 10% critical strike, 140 attack power, 80 spell damage and healing | Yes |
| Sérénade de fleur-de-chant | Songflower Serenade | 5% critical strike, 15 to all stats | Yes |
| Bénédiction du chef de guerre | Warchief’s Blessing | 300 health, 15% haste, 10 mana per 5 sec | Yes |
| Esprit des Zandalar | Spirit of Zandalar | 10% movement speed, 15% to all stats, 2 hours | No, the line is absent |
| The eight “Sombre prédiction de … de Sayge” | Sayge’s Dark Fortune of … | Strength, Agility, Stamina, Spirit, Intellect, Armor, damage, resistance | Yes, all eight |
The three Dire Maul Tribute buffs are the ones shown in a post by the @ahmpers account on November 8, with the line “No effect in raids.” The figures in the table match that post for Fengus. The French client text of Slip’kik’s Savvy says “all spells and attacks” (translated from French), where Icy Veins writes “melee.”
Spirit of Zandalar is the only buff recorded without the line. The text does not prove that it works in raids: it says nothing. The names of the eight fortunes, which our article on the Darkmoon Faire could not give, come from the same table.
World buffs and “raid logging”
Since Classic launched in 2019, many players have logged out before or during a raid to keep their bonuses, a practice the community calls “raid logging.” As Icy Veins points out, Blizzard later added the Chronoboon Displacer, an item that stores buffs. If the text is accurate, the reason to log out disappears for the world buffs that carry the line.
What each source claims, and what the client shows
No blue post (an official Blizzard message) had been found on this point by the evening of November 9. The only primary source is the game text, and it is narrower than some headlines. Icy Veins’ subtitle mentions raids and battlegrounds, without showing any text for the latter. The fifteen texts reviewed mention only the raid instance.
| Source | What it claims | What the client shows |
|---|---|---|
| @ahmpers, November 8 | The three Dire Maul buffs have no effect in raids | Confirmed for all three |
| Warcraft Tavern, November 9 | World buffs will not be usable inside raids | Confirmed for six buffs out of seven, and all eight fortunes |
| Icy Veins, November 9 | No world buff will work in raids; battlegrounds mentioned in the subtitle | Spirit of Zandalar has no line; battlegrounds: no text |
Warcraft Tavern writes “world buffs will not be usable inside raids.” None of the three sources has tested how world buffs behave in a raid: no raid is open.
Until December 9, nothing changes for leveling
The first raids open on December 9, with a Tier 1 spread across three raids and, according to Joardee, a single difficulty. Before that date, none of the texts reviewed restricts the world buffs elsewhere. The @ahmpers post sums up the use: “FARMING DUNGEONS IS SICK WITH BUFFS,” just as dungeons give 50% more XP.
