Wowhead 1.12 (Wowhead Classic) is the database for World of Warcraft version 1.12.1 (Vanilla): items, quests, spells, NPCs, profession recipes and loot sources. If you searched for "Wowhead 1.12", you are looking for the reference database for original Classic — the version that powers the WowX5 x5 server.

Online database: classic.wowhead.com

The main resource is classic.wowhead.com, with item and quest pages for the Vanilla era, player comments and talent calculators.

An item page shows the same tooltip you see in game: binding, slot and type, damage and speed, stats, required level and Equip bonuses. For example, a crafted two-handed axe:

Arcanite ReaperArcanite ReaperBinds when equippedTwo-HandAxe153 - 256 DamageSpeed 3.80(53.82 damage per second)+13 StaminaDurability 100 / 100Requires Level 58Equip: +62 Attack Power.
Примечание

Wowhead merges data from several Classic phases (Era, seasonal modes). For pure 1.12.1, double-check item level, drop source and requirements — some values and mechanics differ from what the Vanilla core implements.

In-game database (addons)

The most reliable way to keep "Wowhead 1.12" at hand is to install addons that carry the 1.12.1 database offline:

QuestieQuests, objectives, map coordinatesQuestie guide
AtlasLootDungeon and raid boss loot tablesAtlasLoot guide
AtlasDungeon and raid mapsAll addons

These addons are written for the 1.12.1 client, so their data matches Vanilla content without later patches. pfQuest offers a similar offline database: its item, mob and quest search window opens with /db, and tooltip addons can append the item ID and drop chance.
