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 Paladin at level 30 wears Cloth, Leather, Mail and a shield and wields Axes, Maces, Polearms, Swords, Two-Handed Axes, Two-Handed Maces, Two-Handed Swords . 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: Stamina 1, Strength 0.5, Intellect 0.4, Agility 0.3, Defense Rating 0.5, Dodge Rating 0.6, Parry Rating 0.6, Block Rating 0.4, Block Value 0.5, Armor 0.05, Bonus Armor 0.05, Spell Power 0.3, Melee weapon DPS 1.5.
