Score: the item's stats times the weights on the right, rounded to one decimal. Hover an item for its tooltip. A source line is printed when the data has one (a recipe, a quest, a drop or a vendor seen in play); no line means none is recorded yet.

How this list is scored

One number per item: each stat times its weight, added up. The weights are this site's own choice and are printed here in full, so the list can be checked and argued with.

Rules

  • Requires Level at most 30, item level at most 45 (the cap plus 15: it keeps out records with no level requirement that sit far above what a level 30 character wears).
  • A Druid at level 30 wears Cloth, Leather and wields Daggers, Fist Weapons, Maces, Polearms, Staves, Two-Handed Maces . Read off the class data, with the level each skill is learned.
  • Top 3 per slot. A slot with nothing that scores is left out. Two records that read as one item count once.
  • Not scored: equip effects, set bonuses, resistances and any stat without a weight above. They show in the tooltip.
  • Uncommon, Rare and Epic count alongside Common; Poor does not.

Weights: Intellect 1, Spirit 0.6, Stamina 0.3, Spell Power 1, Spell Damage 1, Crit Rating (Spell) 0.5, Hit Rating (Spell) 0.7.
