Price correlation with item stats on wiki
Is there a way to surface pricing data for items on the wiki so you could sort by DPS per plat to find the best value items? It would be great not to have to build this functionality.
There are likely items that sell for like 50p with almost the same DPS as 10K items. Just need to find them without clicking each one for price data. As a n00b player with 65p to my name this would be very helpful. Thanks! | ||

You know the problem is that you can't correlate any one variable to price.
- Is is magic? - Are there added stats? - Are there procs? - What classes can use it? i.e. What weapons does it compare to? - Is it difficult to obtain? - How much does it weigh? - Is it fashionable?(!!) - Of course, damage/delay ratio I seriously doubt that there are 50p weapons with the same DPS as 10k items, but I invite someone to show me the market proof. Could you list your class/race and what type of weapon you are looking for? I know this doesn't answer your question, but it could help you find a cheap and decent weapon | ||

If you're looking SOLELY at dmg/dly, Tstaff and peacebringer are almost identical. They even have the same weight. The proc alone turns a 4k staff into a 50k staff.
Best bet is to just sort by dmg/dly and open each weapon in a new tab to check the prices | ||

It is hypothetically possible, but very unlikely to ever happen.
While the item stats are stored in the main wiki database, the price data is kept in completely separate database tables that Ravhin setup. Only special scripts can access that data, and only someone with wiki machine access (not just admins within the wiki itself, like me) can add such scripts. Oh, and Ravhin doesn't play here anymore. He does respond to small requests (that's how I was able to get the Velious items fixed to have prices), but I rather doubt that he would want to write the custom code necessary to make the item lists include pricing data. So the options for making this happen are:
There are also three other inferior options:
I could do #2 or #3 (#2 would actually be pretty easy). However, neither would be very useful without the ability to see many DPS/price ratios at once, and there's just no way to do that (without hitting 200 pages at once and slowing down the wiki) unless you do it on the back-end ... ie. unless your name is Ravhin. Hope that helps.

What class/race/level are you and what are your current weapons?
