User blog:Exiton/Item Valuation

I have been looking for an interesting way to add to the wiki and I have an idea i want to pass buy some other people before i start. I think it would be interesting to add discussion on the value of stats on items and the valuation of items themselves. What i mean by this is, Ability Power is around 21gold per point when looking at basic items. This is usually what people on the forums use when they compare items to one another, to see what they are worth. I think this would be interesting information to add to the wiki. It allows comparing of items with different stats, determining the best value for your character and I think is interesting in it's own right. I have already done this for the 3 snowball items, Leviathan, Mejai's Soulstealer and Sword of the Occult, adding discussions on how many stacks it takes for these items to be worth while.

I am wondering where to go next with this. I think starting with a new article titled "Basic Item Value" is the first step. All the numbers people tend to throw around seem to be calculated from basic tier items. Since they have 1 stat it's easy to calculate. From this article you can expand discussions to advanced and legendary items such as the snowball items above. You can then also add notes to each of the stat pages and item pages.
