For Wrath of the Lich King, we will be using the ItemLevelDKP mod to value the items.  You can download the mod here and it will show you the item level and dkp cost at the bottom of the item description when you look at an item.  It's the same principle as our old system but reduces the amount of alt tabbing we have to do.  This mod is not required to raid, only if you want to know what values are.

ItemLevelDKP is an addon for calculating DKP based on the item's item level, quality and slot. The result is a price tuned to an item's worth based on what Blizz gives the item of stats.

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 base 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.

T4/GL/ML = Tier 4/Gruul's Lair/Magtheridon's Lair

V/K/BT/Hyj = Lady Vashj/Kael'thas/Black Temple/Hyjal Summit
Tier 6 = Tier 6 Set
