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.
