To anyone who have already noticed, or don't know, I have recently gone on a small purge on the item's gold efficiency section. I have my reasons for this which I will attempt to explain.

I recently made this forum, Improving Gold Efficiency Section within Cost Analysis, but after seeing a certain advent wiki contributor who have been editing these sections, and adding things that I cannot allow for varies reasons, I now have to do something that I do not wish. I am only doing this for the best interest of keeping the term "Gold Value" to have any important meaning before it becomes horribly misused and devalued by the community. This will not stop what already exist, but as a wiki, we shall not help spread the misuse of the word.

Sadly, this means I have to force this term to be much more narrow in what is acceptable to be given a 'gold value'. I can no longer ignore the different mechanics, requirements, and cooldowns as those also play a role in determining gold value. Because of this, a lot of values that used to exist are now going to be removed.

The removal of information came from any stat that required a trigger of some sort and was not permanent once acquired. These includes:


 * Stats acquired from active abilities such as and.
 * Stats acquired from on-hit triggers such as and.
 * Stats acquired from being hit such as.
 * Stats acquired from being in a certain condition such as and.
 * Stats given to allies from auras such as and.

All of these have been removed, but if anyone was quick to realize, there is a sub-group that I kept out but as of this moment. These are, , the ' line, and. They're on the fridge of being removed but I kept them because they remain up a good portion of the game.

So what does this mean. Almost all passive and active effect 'gold value' have been removed. I took this choice over others because I needed to seal off loop holes that would jeopardize the meaning of the word 'gold value'. I know these removal will not be adored by many viewers who actually like the Cost Analysis section, but I find this the best option for now.

This here is a WARNING to anyone and everyone about the cost analyze section.

DO NOT REVERT THESE REMOVALS.

If I find anyone adding these information back without first being approved, I will quickly remove those edits while sending you a warning.

If you wish to discuss this, either reply down below, send me a message on my message wall, or discuss it on the blog post I intend to do in the future about what gold value even means and how it effects the game.
