Each character's average ilvl can be found in the character sheet. Individual items' item levels can be found in their tooltips. Ilvl is used as a gating requirement when queueing for dungeons, raids and scenarios, and is often used in a similar way by players organising raids. Item level is widely used as a means of assessing a character's power. Additionally, PvP Power is not counted towards an item's ilvl budget, allowing PvP gear of a given ilvl to provide an advantage in PvP compared to non-PvP gear of the same ilvl. Since each of these values provide different benefits to different classes and specs, the true value of an item varies depending on the user, and cannot be determined solely by ilvl. However, each item spends its ilvl 'budget' differently, in various primary and secondary stats, as well as in procs and effects.

Two items of equal ilvl should in theory therefore be of equal potential use. Item level serves as a rough indicator of the power and usefulness of an item, designed to reflect the overall benefit of using the item. It has two main functions - to reflect the item's usefulness and at the same time determine the minimum level a character must have in order to use it. Item level (often abbreviated as ilevel or simply ilvl) is a rather important property of every item. A chart showing item levels over time at the tier breakpoints, overlayed on the expansions
