iLv needs to change

[Cirgellon]

I didnt read past the OP but I don't think everything is weighted the same in the ilvl calculation. I just reached 50 for the first time a few weeks ago. I had all ilvl 100 armor and jewellry. One piece of jewellry was ilvl 120 and my bow was ilvl 80.

So one 80, one 120, and the rest 100.

My overall ilvl was 90. It would have been 100 if every piece counted equally(or I don't understand averages).


Edit after readi ng the thread: As a newer player, I haven't found an easy way to get a higher ilvl bow. The ones I see for poetics or soldiery also require coil drops according to what I looked up. Did I see that wrong or am I just looking in the wrong place?

It is indeed an average. Weapons get double weight if they are 2 handed (clearly..., which is btw mostly everything except PLD). You always divide by 13. Therefore the OP is incorrect; weapons already have higher weight in the average.

The Soldiery bow requires a tomestone which drops in Syrcus Tower, and upgrading it to 110 requires Sands of Time which also drop in ST.

The Poetics bow requires a tomestone which drops in coils, however you can also pick it as a reward from the weekly quest to complete all three Crystal Tower raids. The upgrade item is Carbontwine, which also drops in coil and is also available as a reward from the weekly.
