277 items found
(200 displayed) – Try filtering your results
Try using a higher value for the Strength filter, so that 200 or fewer results are found. That way you will have all of them loaded in the table and won't be missing any.
Example:
with Strength > 30

the problem is that if i sort by level it should show 200 highest item level stuff... shouldn't it? also why it happens only to certain 2 sets?
btw i want to filter items that are leather, mail, weapons and shields. can you add a criteria called "is leather" and have options "yes"/"no"? it would help me finding items i need.
The reason why this is happening is because when do a search like this, the system loads those 200 results into your browser. Once that's done, all the sorting is done client side, in your system. This lowers the load on our server (by preventing you from having to run a new query every time you change the sorting), as well as allowing you to make changes without having to load a new page every time.
So with a search, here's the order things go in:
- You search with the above filters, for non-PvP Outland gear with strength on it.
- The system loads the first 200 results, sorted first by item quality (Artifact, Legendary, Epic, Rare etc.), and then sorted alphabetically. For that list, the last item alphabetically that makes it under the 200-mark is the Pillager's Gauntlets. The missing items you're talking about, you may notice, all come after the letter P.
- You sort by item level.
- That list of 200 is sorted by item level, starting with the highest and working its way down. Note that even though you're starting at the highest item level, you still don't get any results that are later in the alphabet than Pillager's Gauntlets.
If you bring your search down to lower than 200 results, this problem won't occur anymore.
Also, we DO have filters that allow you to specify only mail, or everything but leather, etc., but those filters only exist in the "armor" subcategory. Obviously you can't sort weapons that way.
So, the best way to do this is with two searches:
This one, which shows you all leather/mail items that match your criteria (and only has 85 results, making sorting easy)
and
this one, which shows you all possible weapons.
Remember you can just a class to the "Usable by" filter to automatically remove items that class can't use. :)
