The last month, my in-game avg. item level has been exactly 1 point higher than the one displayed on the public site. Today, someone checked my armory and thought I'd exaggerated 6 avg. point, because he looked at the first score. After that we could both lolwut at it, but it's still peculiar. Has anyone else got issues with differences between/the web-based armory in general?
I think I have to explain how avg item lvl is supposed to work:
The check on ilvl is based on the current highest itemlvl per applicable gearslot. Since all my tanking gear is actually the highest avg. ilvl that I have, there is no way that the average can be below 349. It's actually supposed to be 349(349).
It does not calculate avg. itemlvl based on all your gear in your bags, but only based on the highest ilvl in your bags or equiped for that current slot. Having 5 belts doesn't do anything, it's the highest itemlvl belt that counts.
