Nice addon, the blurring of the eyes to remove the characters identity is a nice touch.

Does this add up the IQ's of every item?

[Sanalia]

There are a few addons which all claim to have the "right" Item Level Quotient. All of which give different results.

How exactly does this addon calculate it?

I assume it's the sum for all items, each: (rarity quotient * ilevel * slot weighting). If it's not using a slot weighting, then it might be off (because the ilvl of the e.g. chest item is more relevant than e.g. a trinket).

If you mean the sum from item + gem (from one slot or total): No.

Because not every item has a gemslot and not every item has the same amount of gemslots.
e.g.:
compare
a chest item with itemLevel 141 that has 1 gemslot
vs.
a chest item with itemLevel 141 that has 3 gemslot

Currently the max. gem itemLevel is 130...whatever math you do, you can't get a fair comparison between such 2 item. That's why IQ has separate quotients for items and gems.

But: You can see how many gems someone uses. In the above example the 2nd item is better (if both gemIQs are the same) because this item has 2 additional gems...

Calculation is simple:
IQ = summary of itemLevel from all items divided through 17 (16 if 2-hand weapon)
gemIQ = summary of itemLevel from all gems divided through gemcount
IQ+ = summary of (itemLevel multiplied with itemRarityQuotient) from all items divided through 17 (16 if 2-hand weapon)
gemIQ+ = summary of (itemLevel multiplied with itemRarityQuotient) from all gems divided through gemcount

slot weighting? not really useful


Anyway, IQ is a really simple comparison tool, nothing fancy, no excessive math operations.

You just get a simple fair number to compare equip...

ahh remember: YES! It's useless! It's just a number! skill>equip!

EDIT: corrected Calculation

Oh I believe that's highly relevant, but it's not worth spending half the day discussing it
