Item Level - How high will it go?

[Kaedan]

then why not just hide it? Would be better than 3 different base stats on the same ilevel (new ilevel 3, that would be old ilevel 31-39)

Because their system with the Dungeon Finder has ilvl requirements. So ilvl has to be visible.

But where are you getting that there would be 3 different base stats? There would only be the base stats of the item, which wouldn't change (+7 str gear would always remain +7 str gear) and the ilvl. It wouldn't display the old ilvl if and when they "reset" the ilvl counter. It would only display the new ilvl.
