||
+ | 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. |
||
− | '''Winterax Shadow Hunters''' were {{reputation|hostile}} members of the [[Winterax tribe]] located at the [[Snowfall Graveyard]] of [[Alterac Valley]]. |
||
+ | 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. |

||
+ | |||
+ | 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. |

||
+ | *'''StatValue''' — the amount of a given stat on an item |
||
+ | *'''StatMod''' — the weighting given to the stats |
||
+ | *'''ItemValue''' — the total modified value of the stats on an item |
||

||

||
+ | *'''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 === |
||
+ | |||
+ | Many [[caster weapon]]s sacrifice a portion of their Melee DPS to obtain spelldamage stats, for example the [[Continuum Blade]]. In this way, caster DPS and healer weapons gain spelldamage at an equivalent rate to melee weapons gaining melee DPS. |
||
+ | The amount of Damage/Healing/FAP gained is proportional to the amount of DPS sacrificed in the following way: |
||
+ | * Spell Damage = Sacrificed DPS * 4 |
||
+ | * Healing = Sacrificed DPS * 7.5 |
||
+ | * Feral Attack Power = Sacrificed DPS * 18.37 - 12.4843 |
||
+ | |||
+ | One Handed caster weapons universally have damage ranges between 41.0-42.0 DPS. This damage range is the basis for the sacrifice of DPS for both one and two handed weapons. |
||
+ | |||
+ | The amount of DPS Sacrificed simply '''Melee 1 Hand DPS - 41.5''' |
||
+ | In this way, a 2-handed caster staff and a one-handed dagger would both have the same spelldamage/healing. |
||
+ | The actual melee DPS of the caster weapon would then be: |
||
+ | {| class="darktable zebra" |
||
+ | |- |
||
+ | ! style="padding:.25em" | Weapon Type |
||
+ | ! style="padding:.5em" | Uncommon |

||
+ | ! style="padding:.5em" | Epic |
||
+ | |- |
||
+ | | style="padding:.5em" | One Handed Caster |
||
+ | | style="padding:.5em;text-align:center" | |

||
+ | | style="padding:.0em;text-align:center" | |
||
+ | | style="padding:.0em;text-align:center" | '''0.3*Melee One Hander DPS + 41.5''' |
||
+ | | style="padding:.0em;text-align:center" | |
||
+ | |} |
||
+ | |||
+ | To see how this works: A Superior iLevel 115 caster weapon such as the Continuum blade: |
||
+ | Base DPS of 1-handed blue weapon iLevel 115 = 115*0.7488 - 14.4905 = 71.6215 |
||
+ | DPS is then set to 41.5, sacrificed DPS is therefore 30.12 |
||
+ | 30.12*4= 120.5 = 121 Spelldamage. |
||
+ | |||
+ | Or for a Feral DPS Weapon, for example the Earthwarden: |
||
+ | Base DPS of 2-handed epic weapon iLevel 100 = (100*0.45 + 36.1)*1.3 = 81.1*1.3 = 105.45 |
||
+ | (81.1-41.5) DPS is sacrificed, bringing the staff's DPS to 65.83. Sacrificed DPS is therefore 39.5 |
||
+ | 39.5* 18.37 - 12.4843 = 713 Feral Attack 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=== |
||
+ | Each particular slot of armor receives a slightly different percentage of the maximum armor calculated above, according to this table: |

||
+ | |} |
||
+ | |||
+ | 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== |
||
+ | Socket research is still underway- it is not quite known how adding sockets affects an item's iLevel. |
||
+ | |||
+ | Currently there does not appear to be one set Statmod for sockets or any set way that they are added to items. Initial tests suggested that the Statmod may be around 10-11 but many items do not follow this basic pattern. |
||
+ | |||
+ | One theory proposed is that Sockets are created by removing stats from the item after it has been created, in order to make the item the correct iLevel for the 'expected' gems. |
||
+ | |||
+ | For example: Chestpiece of Tanking: Stats 50 Stamina, 40 Defense, 20 Strength. iLevel is calculated at 110 (blue item) |
||
+ | Then Stats are removed and sockets added in their place to take the place of those stats for the 'expected gems'. |
||
+ | 12 Stamina is removed and replaced with a Blue Socket. - players are expected to socket this with Solid Star of Elune. |
||
+ | 6 Stamina and 4 Defense is removed and replaced with a Yellow socket. - players are expected to socket this with Enduring Talasite. |
||
+ | 6 Stamina and 4 Strength is removed and replaced with a Red socket. - players are expected to socket this with Sovereign Nightseye. |
||
+ | The item then becomes: 26 Stam 34 Defense 16 Srength, R B Y Sockets. |
||
+ | |||
+ | The "expected gems" never add any new stats to the item, and always match socket colors. |
||
+ | |||
+ | Another theory is that the fundamental formula for calculating iLevel changes once sockets are added, but no progress has been made on this new formula. |
||
+ | |||
+ | It is also possible that empty sockets have no item level and different gems add an item level depending on their own stats. |
||
+ | |||
+ | ===Socket Bonuses=== |
||
+ | Socket Bonuses are proportional in value to the amount of sockets. The socket bonus does not have any bearing on the ItemValue and is there to give players 'something for nothing' for choosing more diverse gems. |
||
+ | Socket Bonus for 1 socket has ItemValue of 2. (i.e. 3 Stamina, 2 Strength) |
||
+ | Socket Bonus for 2 sockets has Itemvalue of 3. (i.e. 3 Spellcrit, 1.2 Mp5) |
||
+ | Socket Bonus for 3 sockets has ItemValue of 4. (Ie, 4 Defense, 6 Stamina, 4.65 spelldamage) |

Revision as of 21:00, 29 May 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
Many caster weapons sacrifice a portion of their Melee DPS to obtain spelldamage stats, for example the [Continuum Blade]. In this way, caster DPS and healer weapons gain spelldamage at an equivalent rate to melee weapons gaining melee DPS. The amount of Damage/Healing/FAP gained is proportional to the amount of DPS sacrificed in the following way:
- Spell Damage = Sacrificed DPS * 4
- Healing = Sacrificed DPS * 7.5
- Feral Attack Power = Sacrificed DPS * 18.37 - 12.4843
One Handed caster weapons universally have damage ranges between 41.0-42.0 DPS. This damage range is the basis for the sacrifice of DPS for both one and two handed weapons.
The amount of DPS Sacrificed simply Melee 1 Hand DPS - 41.5 In this way, a 2-handed caster staff and a one-handed dagger would both have the same spelldamage/healing. The actual melee DPS of the caster weapon would then be:
Weapon Type | Uncommon | Superior | Epic |
---|---|---|---|
One Handed Caster | 41-42 | ||
2 Handed Weapon Caster/Feral | 0.3*Melee One Hander DPS + 41.5 |
To see how this works: A Superior iLevel 115 caster weapon such as the Continuum blade:
Base DPS of 1-handed blue weapon iLevel 115 = 115*0.7488 - 14.4905 = 71.6215 DPS is then set to 41.5, sacrificed DPS is therefore 30.12 30.12*4= 120.5 = 121 Spelldamage.
Or for a Feral DPS Weapon, for example the Earthwarden:
Base DPS of 2-handed epic weapon iLevel 100 = (100*0.45 + 36.1)*1.3 = 81.1*1.3 = 105.45 (81.1-41.5) DPS is sacrificed, bringing the staff's DPS to 65.83. Sacrificed DPS is therefore 39.5 39.5* 18.37 - 12.4843 = 713 Feral Attack 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
Socket research is still underway- it is not quite known how adding sockets affects an item's iLevel.
Currently there does not appear to be one set Statmod for sockets or any set way that they are added to items. Initial tests suggested that the Statmod may be around 10-11 but many items do not follow this basic pattern.
One theory proposed is that Sockets are created by removing stats from the item after it has been created, in order to make the item the correct iLevel for the 'expected' gems.
For example: Chestpiece of Tanking: Stats 50 Stamina, 40 Defense, 20 Strength. iLevel is calculated at 110 (blue item) Then Stats are removed and sockets added in their place to take the place of those stats for the 'expected gems'. 12 Stamina is removed and replaced with a Blue Socket. - players are expected to socket this with Solid Star of Elune. 6 Stamina and 4 Defense is removed and replaced with a Yellow socket. - players are expected to socket this with Enduring Talasite. 6 Stamina and 4 Strength is removed and replaced with a Red socket. - players are expected to socket this with Sovereign Nightseye. The item then becomes: 26 Stam 34 Defense 16 Srength, R B Y Sockets.
The "expected gems" never add any new stats to the item, and always match socket colors.
Another theory is that the fundamental formula for calculating iLevel changes once sockets are added, but no progress has been made on this new formula.
It is also possible that empty sockets have no item level and different gems add an item level depending on their own stats.
Socket Bonuses
Socket Bonuses are proportional in value to the amount of sockets. The socket bonus does not have any bearing on the ItemValue and is there to give players 'something for nothing' for choosing more diverse gems. Socket Bonus for 1 socket has ItemValue of 2. (i.e. 3 Stamina, 2 Strength) Socket Bonus for 2 sockets has Itemvalue of 3. (i.e. 3 Spellcrit, 1.2 Mp5) Socket Bonus for 3 sockets has ItemValue of 4. (Ie, 4 Defense, 6 Stamina, 4.65 spelldamage)
