ItemLevelDKP

Table of Contents

This project is abandoned and its default file will likely not work with the most recent version of World of Warcraft. Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

ABOUT

ItemLevelDKP is an addon for calculating DKP based on the item's item level, quality and slot. The result is a price tuned to an item's worth based on what Blizz gives the item of stats. The calculation is based around the fact that the quality of an item will decide some of the price:

     Blue      = (itemLevel - 1.84) / 6.4
     Epic      = (itemLevel - 1.3) / 5.2
     Legendary = itemLevel

ilvl 359 gives:

     Blue      = 55.8
     Epic      = 68.8
     Legendary = 359

This is the factor which you base your cost on. Secondly you have a slot mod which is a factor that deal with items getting less item budget based on slot.

     head = 1
     neck =  0.54
     shoulder = 0.74
     chest = 1
     waist = 0.74
     legs = 1
     feet = 0.74
     wrist = 0.54
     hand = 0.74
     finger = 0.54
     trinket = 0.68
     cloak = 0.54
     weapon = 1
     shield = 0.65
     2h weapon = 1.5
     MH weapon = 1
     OH weapon = 1
     off hand = 0.52
     bow/xbow/gun = 1.5
     wand = 0.50
     relic = 0.30

This is multiplied with the base cost from item level and quality. A epic, ilvl 359 2h sword will be:

     DKP = (itemLevel - 1.3) / 5.2 * 1.5
     DKP = 103.2

Pricing is limited to armor and weapons, but stuff like tabards and thrown weapons are not included.

TODOS AND BUGS

Make a config panel to edit some factors and numbers.
Support lists of item priority?
Work out a formula for Legendary Items (Just using item level isn't going to work anymore)

Do I have permission to copy it, and edit it so it has input fields so people can choose the min value (itemLevel - xxx) and the multiply ((itemLevel - 1.3) / xxx) value?
If I don't get an answer (since it hasn't been updated since 5 months) I'll take it as a yes

I did some math, and I think the best values are (for epic) -345 * 4, because everyone got around 350 itemlvl atm, and I think the gear DKP cost should be determined with howmuch it would improve your gear so these will be the DKP costs of these items (without gear slots, I think those are fine):
» Epic itemlvl 359 = 14 * 4 = 56
» Epic itemlvl 378 = 33 * 4 = 132
With your calculations it would be ((itemLevel - 1.3) / 5.2):
» Epic itemlvl 359 = 357.7 / 5.2 = ~69
» Epic itemlvl 378 = 376.7 / 5.2 = ~72
And that while an item with itemlvl 378 is way better than an item with itemlvl 359

Anyway, with the inputfields these values will be customizable and it doesn't quite matter what we think is best, since all users can change it

Thanks, Dridzt.

Well I have some time scheduled after a raid tonight to go digging deeper into calculations and what not with the addon rather than a quick fix as it's currently at, so that comment will be a big help!

Just a note that with Cataclysm the item quality is nothing but a color.
It has no effect at all on stat budget, the only thing that matters is itemlevel.

This spans all item qualities starting from uncommon (green) up to epic (purple).

In layman's terms an item for a specific slot that is an ilvl312 green is actually better (has more stats) than an ilvl306 blue.

The tiers of loot are separated by 13 itemlevels, intermediate/extra loot coming between tiers.

5man/honored rep = 333
hc5man/revered rep = 333+13 = 346
(4.1) ZA/ZG hc5man = 346+7 = 353 - - intermediate
normalRaid/exalted rep = 346+13 = 359
hcRaid = 359+13 = 372
Sinestra = 372+7 = 379 - - intermediate
(4.2) t12 = 372+13 = 385
and so on.

The first two are "rare" the last two are "epic" but this is irrelevant to the stat budget.
Bottom-line:
While the item value formula you are referencing was valid for previous expansions quality multipliers are entirely obsolete and should be removed from the calculation.

This change is not exactly advertised by Blizz for obvious (QQ prevention) reasons but this is how things stand.

In r36 the formulas must have changed. An example would be, shoulders went from 204 down to like 70. r35 still has the correct values that match the formulas, but r36 is giving me problems with all the values.

Even the screenshots show a ilvl 100 2h item in the 114 dkp range. An item ilvl 359 2h should be 412 which it is in r35. In r36 a 2h is now 103 dkp. Is this change meant to be or did the formulas get changed incorrectly?

Is it somehow possible to write a macro to paste the itemcost into a chat frame?

Same issue as I commented on below - itemRarity is being used before it is checked to be valid.

I'm having comparison with nil errors on core.lua:105 when viewing some items like rare quality enchants and some other items.
Adding the check "if not itemRarity then return -1000,0 end" before that line seems to of fixed it. A better way might be to integrate the check into the (itemRarity > 2 and itemRarity < 6) check.

Patch is

Ouch. You got the error from an enchant? I'll look into it as soon as I can. Without net at home because of moving and my Wintendo disk blew up so it may take some time. Thanks for the patch.

the problem is just the itemType, the other strings you use to identify the different armor types, like INVTYPE_HEAD fpr example, are taken from the blizzard library. unfortunately there is nothing similar for the super item types. maybe you could just compare it to all the INVTYPE_XYZ strings instead. you would have to do it twice then but i don't think this woud make a big difference in performance. of course i agree that this would be no perfect solution but i couldn't find a method to do it different when you just use the blizzard api.

I haven't kept up with my school German so you'll have to mail me the locale. Does the German client have German names for all the strings or just the item super types?

substitute following line in core.lua for the german client:

original:
if (not ((itemType == "weapon" or itemType == "armor") and

for the german client:
if (not ((itemType == "Waffe" or itemType == "R\195\188stung") and

greetings, mac

All clients should be fixed now. The item super-type was just to not have to go through the entire calculation process, but that's no big deal. Report back any problems.

I also use the german client. My fix is similar to the comment of Vonlani exept with "Rüstung"... it only works when I translated it with "R\195\188stung"

ok i fixed it myself, in ocre.lua line 106 you are comparing the recieved itemType to "Weapon" and "Armor". for the german client these strings should be "Waffe" and "Rüstung". maybe you should consider localising these strings and the ones displayed in the tooltip, i.e. "Price" would become "Preis" in german for example.

New version. Bumped to WoW 3.0.2 and made thrown weapons have the same DKP calculation as wands.

Seems the comment thing is broken on Curse.com, but works on http://www.wowace.com/projects/item-level-dkp/

FYI in case you want to comment.

Corbism - I'll look into it. Haven't had any errors myself though. May be Buggrabber catching it.

QuizTIC - I wouldn't recommend it. Any DKP system should work like an economy; What you withdraw from the DKP pool should be given to the participants. So if you award DKP based on time attendance instead of what they spend, you should use variable prices to compensate and thus remove fractions of the winner's DKP. (Maybe implement support for percentage "prices" that you can multiply the winner's DKP pool with, but this still leaves you with the problem of scaling). If you use fixed prices for items, but award a non-related amount of DKP per week, you may have your guild spend 1000 DKP one week, but gain 2000 the same week. Give this a few months and you have insanely DKP rich people while new members have no chance of ever competing with your old timers.

Khallah - Thanks :)

Ethias - I don't really know how you want to implement that, but you can use the function ilvlDKP() to get the actual price for the item. You can call this fuction from another addon if you want, as long as you have ItenLevelDKP installed. I'm also thinking of how to make personal modifications implemented.
