Item Level - How high will it go?

[Felis]

It frankly wouldn't surprise me to see them essentially "reset" ilvl. There are multiple ways they could do it, including just dropping a digit and rounding where necessary. So top gear at the end of Heavensward would be maybe 28 or 30 ilvl max.

Good luck with doing lv60 content with ilevel 30 gear. They would have to nerf every content into the ground for that.

ilevel have nothing to do with character level. it only say how good the base stats of the gear are.

How high the ilevel will be at 4.5? It depend on the ilevel steps at lv 70. It can be the same like in 3.x (+20 ilevel), reduced to how it was in 2.x (+10 ilevel) or even higher than it was in 3.x (+30 or even +40?).


I favor the +10 steps from 2.x
Fast enough to feel stronger, but not too fast so the content of the last patch will be still a bit challenging with current gear of the new patch.
