||
+ | The '''item level''' is a rather important property of every item. It has two main functions — reflect the item's usefulness and at the same time determine the minimum level a character must have in order to use it (see [[#Minimum level requirements and Item Level|Minimum level requirements and Item Level]]). Up until [[Patch 3.2.0#User_interface|Patch 3.2]], the true item level was hidden in the game, and only UI mods can read it via the function [[API GetItemInfo|GetItemInfo]]. Now, however, a new option has been added under Display in the Interface Options to show the item level on item tooltips. |
||
− | '''Stags''' are [[beast]]s, very similar to [[deer]]. They are larger animals, taller than [[human]]s, and they have antlers. Most stags are [[neutral]] when approached. Stags are [[skinnable]]. They cannot be tamed by [[hunter]]s as [[pet]]s. |
||
+ | As Hyzenthlei (Tauren Shaman 60 on [[Server:Zul'jin|Zul'Jin]]) first found out, and was later confirmed by a presentation at Blizzcon, Blizzard uses a formula to calculate item level from the item's stats. The following is an attempt to reverse-engineer this formula. This text is based on a forum post by Hyzenthlei (the original author) in the Blizzard forums, but that post has since disappeared. |
||
− | Stags are common in forested areas throughout Azeroth. They are targets for humanoid hunters and natural predators like wolves, but their mighty antlers and ferocity make them difficult prey. Stags avoid conflict, but can be aggressive in larger groups or when startled. They are particularly aggressive during mating season in the fall, and only at this time are they commonly found with females.{{Cite|MGWS|22}} |

||
+ | |||
+ | For Cataclysm items there no longer appears to be any relation between item budget and rarity; that is, an uncommon ilvl300 and a rare ilvl300 will have the same budget. The difference lies in the character level requirement, with rares being equippable one or more levels earlier than uncommon items of the same ilvl. World drop blues appear to be about one character level better than greens of the same ilvl, crafted items two levels, and zone drops up four levels earlier. |
||
+ | |||
+ | Uncommon/green caps out at ilvl 318 for Twilight Highlands quest rewards and world drops requiring character level 85. The highest rare/blue items are ilvl 352. Epic/purple is used to denote all items above that. |

||

||
+ | *'''ilvl''' — the effective level of an item |
||
+ | |||
+ | ==Historical Overview== |
||
+ | During the original reverse-engineering of the individual "cost" of each stat, Hyzenthelei set out assuming that +1 to Heal had a cost of 100. He then compared items of similar item level and comparable stats and thus arrived at the first version of the StatMod table (which stood the test of time very well). Later, during a presentation by Blizzard at BlizzCon, a slide revealed that 1% Melee Crit = 14 points. This confirmed Hyzentheleis table (1% melee crit was indeed 14 times as expensive as one point of a basic stat), but at the same time gave a benchmark for the proper scale — rate basic stats with one point. |
||
+ | |||
+ | With WoW 2.0, the table was reworked, some properties (most notable Stamina) changed their price, and others were replaced. In particular many combat-related stats were changed to [[Combat rating system|combat ratings]]. All existing items were updated to reflect this change. This simplified the table, because Combat Rating points are worth exactly one "item point", the same as base stats (exc. Stamina). |
||
+ | |||
+ | ==Weapon DPS== |
||
+ | Weapon DPS is inherent to the iLevel of the item: thus as more stats are assigned, the higher the DPS will be. |
||
+ | |||
+ | Weapon DPS follows the following formulae for Burning Crusade items: |

||
+ | |||
+ | === DPS sacrifice === |
||
+ | |||
+ | [[Spell power]] on a melee weapon is not part of the item's stat budget; instead, the weapon gains "free" spell power in exchange for having less DPS than other weapons of the same slot, quality and item level. For example, [http://www.wowhead.com/items=2?filter=sl=17;minle=359;maxle=359#0-5+1 a level 359 two-handed epic weapon] has either 623.3 DPS, or 213.2 DPS and 1955 spell power. This allows a weapon upgrade to provide the same DPS increase to a caster as to a non-caster, while ensuring that a caster weapon is rarely an upgrade for a non-caster. |
||
+ | |||
+ | At one point, spell power was gained by "sacrificing" DPS at a fixed ratio. However, in ''Cataclysm'' this is not the case: one-handed caster weapons have the same DPS and the same spell power as two-handed caster weapons, which means they are giving up less DPS compared to their non-caster counterparts. |
||
+ | |||
+ | Wands don't follow this rule; they have ''more'' DPS than other ranged weapons of the same item level, and no spell power. This keeps them marginally viable as attacks of last resort, despite not scaling with [[attack power]] or spell power. |
||
+ | |||
+ | ==Armor Values== |
||
+ | {{Accuracy}} |
||
+ | Armor value is inherent to the item and dependent upon its iLevel. Additional armor can be purchased with normal stat points: gear with additional armor will show the armor value in Green text. However, for most pieces the armor value is given without the use of any normal Item value. |
||
+ | |||
+ | The maximum armor for a particular iLevel piece is calculated using the formula below, and then multipied by the Armor SlotMod to calculate the armor for that particular gear slot. Blue/Superior armors have 1.1 times the armor value of a Green Item, and Epic items have 1.25 times the armor of a Blue item (1.375 times a green). Shields have a separate formula of their own and have different multipliers between gear qualities as shown below. |

+ | ===Armor SlotMods=== |
||

||
+ | |} |
||
+ | |||
+ | Capes are always cloth armor. |
||
+ | |||
+ | Using these two formulas: an iLevel 115 Blue quality Mail Bracer would have armor of: |
||
+ | |||
+ | (115 * 4.9 + 29)<sub>Green</sub> * 1.1<sub>Blue</sub> * 7/16<sub>Wrist</sub> = 285.14 |
||
+ | Compared to the blue bracers, all have an armor of 285: http://www.wowhead.com/?items=4.3&filter=qu=3;sl=9;minle=115 |
||
+ | |||
+ | At one point the armor values of items seemed to decrease, but in a subsequent patch they returned to or exceeded their original values: {{loot|epic|Dryad's Wrist Bindings}} returned to normal but {{loot|epic|Robes of Insight}} gained 10 armor. The reasons for these changes are not yet known. |
||
+ | |||
+ | ==Sockets== |
||
+ | A socket is counted as the stat values of an "expected gem".<ref>http://elitistjerks.com/f15/t44718-item_level_mechanics/</ref> The expected gem is believed to always be a blue-quality gem that matches the socket and, in the case of a colored socket, usually shares both a primary and a secondary stat with the item. |
||
+ | |||
+ | A meta socket on a Cataclysm item appears to be worth 40 points in the primary stat and 20 points in each of two secondary stats, which would make it equivalent to a yellow socket plus a blue socket. For example, compare [[Helm of the Typhonic Beast]] to [[Stormforged Helm]]. |
||
+ | |||
+ | ===Socket bonuses=== |
||
+ | Socket bonuses are proportional in value to the number of sockets, don't count toward the stat budget, and may or may not be a stat already present on the item. For Cataclysm items, the socket bonus is 10 points for a colored socket, 20 points for a meta socket, and zero for a prismatic or cogwheel socket. |
||
+ | |||
+ | == Set bonuses == |
||
+ | Set bonuses don't count toward the item budget. |
||
+ | |||
+ | ==Cooldowns and procs== |
||
+ | Cooldowns and procs that increase a stat are counted as the amount of the increase times the expected percentage uptime. On PvE trinkets, the value is the same for a cooldown as for a proc; for example, the [[Core of Ripeness]] cooldown gives 1926 Spirit for 20 seconds every 2 minutes (1/6 uptime), while the [[Fall of Mortality]] proc gives 1926 Spirit for 15 seconds about every 90 seconds (1/6 uptime). On PvP trinkets, however, a stat cooldown carries a 20% premium; for example, [[Bloodthirsty Gladiator's Insignia of Victory]]'s proc gives 912 Strength with about 1/3 uptime, while [[Bloodthirsty Gladiator's Badge of Victory]]'s cooldown gives 1520 Strength (instead of the expected 1824) with 1/6 uptime. |
||
+ | |||
+ | The crowd-control-breaking [[PvP Trinket]] cooldown replaces a stat cooldown or proc. This means that as the item level increases, its cost increases but is a decreasing percentage of the budget. |

Revision as of 21:01, 7 July 2011
The item level is a rather important property of every item. It has two main functions — reflect the item's usefulness and at the same time determine the minimum level a character must have in order to use it (see Minimum level requirements and Item Level). Up until Patch 3.2, the true item level was hidden in the game, and only UI mods can read it via the function GetItemInfo. Now, however, a new option has been added under Display in the Interface Options to show the item level on item tooltips.
As Hyzenthlei (Tauren Shaman 60 on Zul'Jin) first found out, and was later confirmed by a presentation at Blizzcon, Blizzard uses a formula to calculate item level from the item's stats. The following is an attempt to reverse-engineer this formula. This text is based on a forum post by Hyzenthlei (the original author) in the Blizzard forums, but that post has since disappeared.

Cataclysm (minLevel = 80-85)
For Cataclysm items there no longer appears to be any relation between item budget and rarity; that is, an uncommon ilvl300 and a rare ilvl300 will have the same budget. The difference lies in the character level requirement, with rares being equippable one or more levels earlier than uncommon items of the same ilvl. World drop blues appear to be about one character level better than greens of the same ilvl, crafted items two levels, and zone drops up four levels earlier.
Uncommon/green caps out at ilvl 318 for Twilight Highlands quest rewards and world drops requiring character level 85. The highest rare/blue items are ilvl 352. Epic/purple is used to denote all items above that.

Historical Overview
During the original reverse-engineering of the individual "cost" of each stat, Hyzenthelei set out assuming that +1 to Heal had a cost of 100. He then compared items of similar item level and comparable stats and thus arrived at the first version of the StatMod table (which stood the test of time very well). Later, during a presentation by Blizzard at BlizzCon, a slide revealed that 1% Melee Crit = 14 points. This confirmed Hyzentheleis table (1% melee crit was indeed 14 times as expensive as one point of a basic stat), but at the same time gave a benchmark for the proper scale — rate basic stats with one point.
With WoW 2.0, the table was reworked, some properties (most notable Stamina) changed their price, and others were replaced. In particular many combat-related stats were changed to combat ratings. All existing items were updated to reflect this change. This simplified the table, because Combat Rating points are worth exactly one "item point", the same as base stats (exc. Stamina).
Weapon DPS
Weapon DPS is inherent to the iLevel of the item: thus as more stats are assigned, the higher the DPS will be.
Weapon DPS follows the following formulae for Burning Crusade items:
Weapon Type | Uncommon | Superior | Epic |
---|---|---|---|
One Handed Weapon | iLevel<97: = iLevel*0.3448 + 16.7552 | iLevel<97: = iLevel*0.4350 + 15.8250 | iLevel<138: = iLevel*0.45 + 36.1 |
iLevel>97: = iLevel*0.6333 - 10.7 | iLevel>97: = iLevel*0.7488 - 14.4905 | iLevel>138: = iLevel*0.6 + 15.5 | |
2 Handed Weapon | 1 Handed * 1.3 | ||
Ranged (Gun/Bow/xBow) | iLevel*0.5 + 1.4 | iLevel*0.58 - 0.3 | iLevel*0.4047 + 32.84 |
Thrown | iLevel*0.5542-8.8045 | iLevel*0.6191-6.9569 | iLevel*0.4047 + 32.84 |
Wand | 1-Handed Melee * 1.77 | 1-Handed Melee * 1.80 | 1-Handed Melee * 1.83 |
DPS sacrifice
Spell power on a melee weapon is not part of the item's stat budget; instead, the weapon gains "free" spell power in exchange for having less DPS than other weapons of the same slot, quality and item level. For example, a level 359 two-handed epic weapon has either 623.3 DPS, or 213.2 DPS and 1955 spell power. This allows a weapon upgrade to provide the same DPS increase to a caster as to a non-caster, while ensuring that a caster weapon is rarely an upgrade for a non-caster.
At one point, spell power was gained by "sacrificing" DPS at a fixed ratio. However, in Cataclysm this is not the case: one-handed caster weapons have the same DPS and the same spell power as two-handed caster weapons, which means they are giving up less DPS compared to their non-caster counterparts.
Wands don't follow this rule; they have more DPS than other ranged weapons of the same item level, and no spell power. This keeps them marginally viable as attacks of last resort, despite not scaling with attack power or spell power.
Armor Values
Armor value is inherent to the item and dependent upon its iLevel. Additional armor can be purchased with normal stat points: gear with additional armor will show the armor value in Green text. However, for most pieces the armor value is given without the use of any normal Item value.
The maximum armor for a particular iLevel piece is calculated using the formula below, and then multipied by the Armor SlotMod to calculate the armor for that particular gear slot. Blue/Superior armors have 1.1 times the armor value of a Green Item, and Epic items have 1.25 times the armor of a Blue item (1.375 times a green). Shields have a separate formula of their own and have different multipliers between gear qualities as shown below.
Armor Class | Uncommon | Superior | Epic |
---|---|---|---|
Cloth | iLevel*1.19 + 5.1 | Green * 1.1 | Blue * 1.25 (Green * 1.375) |
Leather | iLevel*2.22 + 10 | Green * 1.1 | Blue * 1.25 |
iLevel*4.9 + 29 | Green * 1.1 | Blue * 1.25 | |
Plate | iLevel*9 + 23 | Green * 1.1 | Blue * 1.25 |
Shield | iLevel*85/3 + 133 | Green * 1.22 | Blue * 1.28 |
Armor SlotMods
Each particular slot of armor receives a slightly different percentage of the maximum armor calculated above, according to this table:
Armor Slot | Multiplier | Fraction |
---|---|---|
Chest | 1.00 | 16/16 |
Legs | 1.00 | 16/16 |
Head | 1.00 | 16/16 |
Shoulders | 0.75 | 12/16 |
Feet | 0.75 | 12/16 |
Hands | 0.75 | 12/16 |
Waist | 0.75 | 12/16 |
Wrist | 0.5625 | 9/16 |
Back (Cloth) | 0.5625 | 9/16 |
Capes are always cloth armor.
Using these two formulas: an iLevel 115 Blue quality Mail Bracer would have armor of:
(115 * 4.9 + 29)Green * 1.1Blue * 7/16Wrist = 285.14
Compared to the blue bracers, all have an armor of 285: http://www.wowhead.com/?items=4.3&filter=qu=3;sl=9;minle=115
At one point the armor values of items seemed to decrease, but in a subsequent patch they returned to or exceeded their original values: [Dryad's Wrist Bindings] returned to normal but [Robes of Insight] gained 10 armor. The reasons for these changes are not yet known.
Sockets
A socket is counted as the stat values of an "expected gem".[1] The expected gem is believed to always be a blue-quality gem that matches the socket and, in the case of a colored socket, usually shares both a primary and a secondary stat with the item.
A meta socket on a Cataclysm item appears to be worth 40 points in the primary stat and 20 points in each of two secondary stats, which would make it equivalent to a yellow socket plus a blue socket. For example, compare [Helm of the Typhonic Beast] to [Stormforged Helm].
Socket bonuses
Socket bonuses are proportional in value to the number of sockets, don't count toward the stat budget, and may or may not be a stat already present on the item. For Cataclysm items, the socket bonus is 10 points for a colored socket, 20 points for a meta socket, and zero for a prismatic or cogwheel socket.
Set bonuses
Set bonuses don't count toward the item budget.
Cooldowns and procs
Cooldowns and procs that increase a stat are counted as the amount of the increase times the expected percentage uptime. On PvE trinkets, the value is the same for a cooldown as for a proc; for example, the [Core of Ripeness] cooldown gives 1926 Spirit for 20 seconds every 2 minutes (1/6 uptime), while the [Fall of Mortality] proc gives 1926 Spirit for 15 seconds about every 90 seconds (1/6 uptime). On PvP trinkets, however, a stat cooldown carries a 20% premium; for example, [Bloodthirsty Gladiator's Insignia of Victory]'s proc gives 912 Strength with about 1/3 uptime, while [Bloodthirsty Gladiator's Badge of Victory]'s cooldown gives 1520 Strength (instead of the expected 1824) with 1/6 uptime.
The crowd-control-breaking PvP Trinket cooldown replaces a stat cooldown or proc. This means that as the item level increases, its cost increases but is a decreasing percentage of the budget.
