That number will be replaced with "real" item value at some point, but for now, item levels are taken into account - value of that specific item (trash, common, uncommon, rare, epic, legendary). If that item contains gem slots, gem quality is taken into account - resilience found on each item (resilience is useless in PvE 99% of the time, so if that specific item got its ilvl with resilience included, it should have slightly lower ilvl). Yes, I know that some PvP weapons are just as good, if not even better than some PvE items, I'll look into that problem soon. - few more factors which shouldn't have any big influence on the overall gear score
Now I'm sure I'll get flamed now for "why don't you remove penalty from .... and put penalty for ..... etc, etc" but as far as I see, this formula does the job fine most of the time. I'm not saying it wont be changed at some point, maybe even very soon, I'm just saying how it is at the moment.
Is it possible to see the exact formula for this? Cause I'm really interested in that...or at least put some better numbers to what you said there? You said gem slots effect score, in what way? Do you look at if there's gems in there or not? Do slots add or take away? Do the color of slots matter? What do you mean by 'real' item value?
I know I'm asking a lot of questions...but I'm really curious how this all works.
