Iteration count
10,000 iterations per trinket, each candidate alone in the first slot. Enough to order trinkets a few DPS apart; ties within a couple of DPS are ties.
Fight
The engine's default encounter: a level 60 character against one raid-boss target, two minutes with fifteen seconds of variation, no movement, no adds. The boss target is simulated at level 63; the endgame character cap is 60. The pure single-target ceiling for the build.
Not included
Forever's re-tuned item stats and the loot from its new dungeons and raids, neither of which Blizzard has published; multi-target fights; healer specs; and true paired sims (the pairings above are additive estimates).

Frequently asked questions
What is the best trinket for Marksmanship Hunter in WoW Forever?

Are these Classic trinkets or Forever trinkets?
The current board models Classic Era items with the stats in the pinned engine. It includes trinkets sourced from older dungeons, quests and professions, but their availability and re-tuned stats in Forever still need confirmation. New dungeon and raid loot is not yet modeled. The board refreshes when the engine data changes.
How often is the Marksmanship Hunter trinket leaderboard updated?
On every build of the wowsims Forever engine MythicSim ships. The engine build on this page is the reference; it changes as the fork verifies talent and item values against the beta client.
Are these results from real character data or theorycrafted?
Real wowsims Forever sims on a fixed Marksmanship Hunter reference build. Each trinket runs 10,000 iterations alone in the first trinket slot against a baseline with no trinkets, so every delta is the trinket's own contribution. Your character's gear and talents will shift the exact numbers; paste it into the form above for your own result.
