Do not work for SoD epic crafted items

[Virtual-felix]

Hi, the gear score of the SoD crafted items (i.e 210794) is 6 instead of something which should be way bigger as it is bis items of the phase 1. Any idea how to debug this ? I can open a PR if you drive me in which file I could fix this.

Also doesnt work for the epic staff and i guess other epics from the raid. All these items have the common attribute that they are new. I looked through the code a bit but it doesnt seem like it doest a lookup in some kind of database where it wouldnt find these new items. There is a call to GetItemInfo that could fail (isnt implemented in thise repo), or the calculated GearScore for these itmes is invalid or too big. (But then it defaults to the max value).

After doing some calculations and i likely found the issue.

>         [3] = { ["A"] = 0.7500, ["B"] = 1.8000 },
>         [2] = { ["A"] = 8.0000, ["B"] = 2.0000 },
>         [1] = { ["A"] = 0.0000, ["B"] = 2.2500 }

from gearscore.lua

These are some values that are defined for formulas and indexed on rarity. The formula for a base gearscore is: (itemlevel -A) / B

For rarities other than 4 (epic) these values are small. But for epics its 26 where the item level for epics is 30 (for raid dropped ones). This will result in a very small base gearscore that is then just scaled with a few multipliers.

For exapmle a level 26 rare 2 handed weapon has 52 GS. A epic level 30 2 handed weapon has 12GS.

At second thought this does make sense as the lowest epics in vanilla would be around level 60.

I guess you could just scale it with a MAX_LEVEL modifier that you update based on the active season. The problem is that this repo hasnt been updated in a long time and most people already use it and wont switch to a fork probably.

Ill submit a PR for this later.

I see a couple fixes: Change the formula for epic items to A = 0 and B = 1.8 This will make the calculation level agnostic and provides similar values to the original gearscore for items in the range of 73-93 (normal vanilla). This change however will be applied to all useres of the classic version not only SoD.

A problem is that likely SoD and Classic era are on the same game version as they are started from the same client, thus you cant make another game version if else (like the ones already exisiting for tbc or wotlk). One fix could be to scale the value only if the player level is 25 as most people will be max level in SoD. This would then have to be changed every new phase.

Hey guys ! Any news on that ? For instance this item https://www.wowhead.com/classic/item=209534/azshari-arbalest#comments does not have any GS

vs (which is not correct as well I guess)

This is quite problematic as it lowers the gs & lot of ppl are counting on gs to recruit for raids :/

Thanks !

Yes, I made a new addon from scratch that already repllicates the gearscore featureset. Ill plan to add more and other features in the future.
