ilvl 239 drops off algalon 25, arguably should be the best mail helm in game.

ilvl 219 drops off normal iron council 10 man.

Now unless the AP on the top helm is MEANT to be 212... I don't see what justifies the high ilvl.

No it's clearly better you see...

I got nuttin

It's got some more crit but a ton less AP, pretty terrible.

I'm thinking its a typo

"Here let me fix this by typing in a....

*give you a Martin Thunder*

Opps my bad, *perma-ban*. But i fixt the helm!"

hmm, ribon headband, or demon armor death skull...

we now know.

probably a mistake. They did add a huge amount of gear into ulduar. I wouldn't be surprised if they make a mistake here and there on the stats.

first !

This is what we meant by "He feeds on your tears."

No, actually the Algalon helm is bugged. We'll get it fixed. Don't shard it! :)

too late.

Sorry to be a %%!# here, but aren't the values manually typed in? A "bug" implies some sort of script, or process running to determine the values and that just seems kind of silly to me.

Unless of course you employ an item designer named "Bug" who's responsible for all the weird wonky items we've seen. Then it makes perfect sense!

The 1 and 2 keys are right next to each other. It's perfectly reasonable to assume someone just made a typo entering the AP value.

It's a user error, one that wouldn't be flagged by any sort of debugging tools.

---

Q u o t e:
couldnt numbers be determined via formula using ilvl?

---

I believe they use formulas derived from ilvl to determine how much of each stat they can put on an item. In this case, such an error would only be flagged if the value was too high, like 412 instead of 112.

You could re-evaluate the Tank shield off Algalon 25 as well.

If they had a tool to feed back the ilevel to the user in real-time as the stats are being typed into the item, shouldn't this tool also raise a red flag if the user presses DONE but the stats are 19 ilevels lower than the intended 232?

The Algalon shield is actually slightly overbudget at ilevel 241.97 (intended ilevel 239). Stat allocation may suck, but stat amount has no issues.

D'OH! And I had five of them sitting in my bag, too...

whats with all the bugged items in this patch? I know there's a lot of loot in ulduar, but you would expect Algalon loot would be checked.
