* DISCLAIMER
============

It would appear this addon has been abandoned by the author, after making attempts to find both the author, the guild and contact information. My search returned nothing.

As such I have decided to release my cataclysm compliant version that doesn't blow DKP Value to astronomical values!

This addon is an updated version of the abandoned addon, ItemLevelDKP by Raut of DraenorEU.

My only guess as to why he may have abandoned such an addon, would be that he believed his formula would be expansion proof. Unfortunately this is not the case.


* ABOUT
=======

ItemLevelDKP(also known as 'Dave') is an addon which tries to
eliminate stupid errors in pricing from addons trying to be smart.
It will also scale to whatever Blizz decides will be the max item
level.

The calculation is based around the fact that the quality of an item
will decide some of the price:

     Blue      = (itemLevel - 1.84) / 1.6
     Epic      = (itemLevel - 1.3) / 1.3
     Legendary = itemLevel

ilvl 100 gives:

     Blue      = 61
     Epic      = 75
     Legendary = 100

This is the factor which you base your cost on. Secondly you have a
slot mod which is a factor that deal with items getting less item
budget based on slot.

     head = 1
     neck =  0.54
     shoulder = 0.74
     chest = 1
     waist = 0.74
     legs = 1
     feet = 0.74
     wrist = 0.54
     hand = 0.74
     finger = 0.54
     trinket = 0.68
     cloak = 0.54
     weapon = 1
     shield = 0.65
     2h weapon = 1.5
     MH weapon = 1
     OH weapon = 1
     off hand = 0.52
     bow/xbow/gun = 1.5
     wand = 0.50
     relic = 0.30

This is multiplied with the bbase cost from item level and quality. A
epic, ilvl 100 2h sword will be:

     DKP = (itemLevel - 1.3) / 1.3 * 1.5
     DKP = 112.5

Pricing is limited to armor and weapons, but stuff like tabards and
thrown weapons are not included.

============================
It appeared support for this great addon had dried up. 
The last update was made two years ago and was showing over-inflated DKP prices in the new Expansion.
Unfortunately it would appear it didn't scale as much as priorly thought due to minor deviations in the formula.

Seeing as this addon would be of great use to Equilibrium, I took the liberty of updating it and bringing the formulae to a more reasonable value for now.

This new version will not be released outside of use of Equilibrium unless I get the go ahead from Raut, whom I am trying to get in touch with now.


* TODOS AND BUGS
================

* Make a config panel to edit some factors and numbers.
* Support lists of item priority?
