Preview based on the China-region Forever 1.60.1.70245 zhCN client, compiled on October 9, 2026. Client records do not establish live availability or behavior. In-game testing is incomplete and hotfixes may change the results.
Teachings of the Furbolg consists of two trinkets: Defender of the Timbermaw and Defender of the Barkskin. Its combination is more concentrated than a set occupying many armor slots, and its description distinguishes attack triggers from healing triggers.
What makes this set worth examining
Both are epic trinkets at item level 62. Defender of the Barkskin has a required level of 55. Defender of the Timbermaw has a required-level field of 0 but also carries other requirements; zero does not mean every character can use it unconditionally. This article covers the two-piece reward without combining it with either trinket's individual use effect.
Set ID: 2071. Components and bonus thresholds follow this extraction. [1]
Components and equipment requirements
| Component | Item ID | Slot | Quality | Item level | Required level |

| Defender of the Barkskin | 268873 | Trinket | Epic | 62 | 55 |
Item level and required level come from decoded client fields. Final attributes, armor and durability have not been calibrated. Any simulator reference values in the interactive viewer are separately labeled and are not current-server values. A required-level value of 0 does not remove other use conditions. [1]
Set bonuses and activation thresholds
| Pieces required | Description | Spell ID |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | Attacks have a chance to increase attack power; healing spells have a chance to increase Intellect. Verify the buff values, durations and trigger details. | 1294087 |
Descriptions are English editorial renderings of the extracted text. Unresolved numerical variables are not filled from older versions; any percentages already present in the source are not measured proc rates. [2]
Acquisition: what is actually established
A complete acquisition route for either trinket has not been established from this extraction. Defender of the Timbermaw has a reputation requirement, but a use requirement does not identify an acquisition quest or vendor. Defender of the Barkskin cannot be assigned to a village or reputation vendor just from its name.
Implications for gearing and collecting
Investigate whether the attack and healing triggers work independently, share restrictions or refresh their buffs. The pair occupies both trinket slots, so comparisons must include the alternatives being given up. Without combat logs, neither uptime nor a benefit ranking is established.
What still needs verification
- Collect quest, vendor or other acquisition evidence for both trinkets.
- Verify Defender of the Timbermaw's reputation and use requirements.
- Record buffs, durations and restrictions for attack and healing triggers separately.
Sources and scope
[1] Our extraction of the China-region Forever 1.60.1.70245 zhCN client: ItemSet and ItemSparse provide set IDs, component relationships and decoded equipment fields. Known English item labels use the site's WoWSims name mapping by exact item ID; new set titles and other labels are editorial English translations, not a claim to an official enUS client localization. Missing item details remain unconfirmed.
[2] ItemSetSpell, SpellName and Spell in the same snapshot provide thresholds, effect IDs and source descriptions. Unresolved variables have not been presented as fixed values.
[3] SpellEffect, SkillLineAbility, SkillLine and SpellReagents in the same snapshot provide crafting links and per-recipe materials.
ItemSet and ItemSetSpell are fully decoded in this batch. Some equipment, spell and profession tables contain undecoded sections, and client hotfixes were not applied. The decoded dungeon-journal and loot tables are empty, so no unverified boss drops, vendor coordinates or quest routes are supplied.
