I am well aware of items current "Item Level", However I am curious as to how the system will gauge your Average "Item Level". I only say this in the light that Just because an Item's "Item Level" is higher, doesn't make it better.
My case in point being Peltast Accessories, Many of them give 1 less strength then Darklight Accessories, however they give Determination, Manly the neck piece.
I am pretty sure that 1 str isnt worth tossing 8 Determination, Yea I'm sure the crit rate boost would be nice, but Determination directly affects dmg output.
Just curious!
