Beta data, not yet checked in-game.
- Sources list 44 drops, of which 39 have been seen in the beta. 27 are listed here; the rest are likely trash drops.
- Cape of the Brotherhood is left out because it is not confirmed in Forever.
- Which boss drops Bandsaw Wristbands and Smelting Pants is uncertain.
- Sources give different level ranges (for example 18–24).
