iLvl on AH doesn't match item received

Support Bug Report
1

I opened a ticket and was advised to report the issue here. I purchased what was listed as an ilvl 49 singing crystal axe. While in the mail from the auction won the ilvl was still showing as ilvl 49. Once retrieved from the mail the ilvl has changed to ilvl 47. I did not screenshot the AH or the mailbox as there wasn’t any need. I do have 2 screenshots showing the item in my inventory as well as the chat link of the item showing two different item levels.

Item level has some fluidity and weird math and weird mechanics. It is ghosts of the crunches.

Wowhead has it as:

Singing Crystal Axe
Item Level 31
Binds when equipped

Two-Hand Axe

13 - 28 Damage Speed 3.60

(5.7 damage per second)

It would have been chromie timed to ilvl 49, and yes I know ilvl has a lot of weird math to it but if the AH has an ilvl filter, and I’m buying an item off of ilvl I don’t expect to get something lower, no?

A player farming an item in Chromie time will get an ilvl appropriate to their level.

Thanks… I know that, but buying off AH is it normal to change as you open the mail?

I have never heard of that happening before.

I have the screenshots of it after taking it out of the mailbox but since this was the first time it’s ever happened to me I didn’t think to SS the AH or mailbox both showing ilvl 49

just add https:// to the beginning of each of those to see them. It wouldn’t let me post the actual SS

Also I should add that I know its a matter of 2 ilvls in this case but if it was a 278 boe I was purchasing and got a 265 I would still think it should be corrected. In terms of CT gear ilvl 49 SCA doesn’t come around that often.
