The Ultimate Guide To Item Upgrade

WoW Upgrades - The Item Upgrader

Upgrades will give you a boost to certain stats. Each upgrade boosts the level of the item by +3. A random extra substat is also increased with each upgrade item.

Upgraded gear generally sees more value in trade regardless of whether it has low requirements (like the FB sorc's shield) or has a high stat variation (like Eth titan weapons). The latter see less value from upgrading due to the requirement to roll for a perfect version.

Recycle Points

The item upgrader lets players upgrade their gear by giving the currency to an NPC. Upgrades can be applied to any type of weapon or armor. The item used to upgrade the item is discarded and cannot be used again. Upgrades can also be applied to enhancements.

The upgrader can be found in all major cities and can be accessed anytime to upgrade your gear. It is recommended to visit the upgrader once every few weeks to ensure that your equipment is up to date.

Upgrades will cost more depending on the item upgrade level, however, they are always cheaper than purchasing new equipment. For example, upgrading a Benthic chest to ilvl 385 will cost 20 recycle points purchasing a similar piece from another player will cost 105.

Valorstones

Upgrades are functional items which can be used to upgrade weapons tools, armor, and accessories. Players can purchase them from NPCs of item upgrade upgraders for a variety of currencies. They are also available on random treasure lists. Once purchased, an upgrade can be used on any tool, weapon or armor. The button will display the item upgrade's next upgrade level in the event that there are enough materials.

Upgrade costs vary depending on the item slot, and the current item level. For example, weapons will cost more than gloves, bracers or bracers. Each step costs 15 Flightstones plus a specific number of crests. Some upgrades offer discounts on Flightstones. Once an item level upgrade has been upgraded to a certain amount, it can be downgraded and sold to the upgrader at a lower price.

Upgraders for items can be found at many locations including the main island and some outposts. The NPCs offer both an upgrade discount and the chance to obtain a new upgrade recipe. The discount for upgrades increases depending on the amount of items that are being upgraded, and can be increased by requiring players to complete specific achievements or complete quests.

Icewind Dale does not have an upgrader for items at the beginning, unlike Cromwell from Baldur's gate II. The NPCs that can assist with upgrades are only available through a variety means. This is both a benefit as well as an issue.

In Season 3, the upgrade system was modified a bit, and numerous new features added. When a player has an upgrade to a particular item level for a particular armor slot, upgrading other items to that level will cost less even when they belong to a different gear set.

The amount of Valorstones needed to upgrade is reduced and the discount is account-wide. In the same way, the amount of Harbinger Crests needed to upgrade is also reduced and is not available until players have reached certain milestones in their achievements.

Crests

Players have a number of options when it comes to upgrading their equipment in WoW. Flightstones are an option that is accessible to everyone who wants to upgrade. Crests are more specific and are used for specific item level upgrades. Crests are the main component of the Dragonflight gear progression system, which was introduced in 10.1 and are available in four ranks.

The first thing to remember is that Crests are only available to equipment with a certain rank. Each rank has an upgrade path that is different. The most basic and straightforward upgrade path costs 15 crests, while the most complex can require as much as 20 crests, based on the type of gear being upgraded.

Players can earn crests by working through tasks at the appropriate level. This could be done by engaging in outdoor activities or completing dungeons and raids in all difficulty levels to obtain lower-tier gear or Mythicbosses of raids or dungeons that have a high difficulty for endgame gear. These crests can be exchanged with an item upgrader like Cuzolth or Vaskarn, in Valdrakken for the appropriate upgrade steps and routes.

The use of these currencies isn't too difficult however, the system will introduce a few modifications to the upgrade process. For example, once an item is at the highest level of upgrade for any rank (Explorer, Adventurer, Veteran, Champion, Hero, or Mythic) it won't need Flightstones to be upgraded. This change is designed to allow players to upgrade their gear up to the highest possible ilvl for all their characters rather than relying solely on seasonal loot.

It's also essential to use crests in a wise manner, as they are only used for one purpose. For instance it's best to make use of all your Whelpling-rank crests on the top gear you have available and then save Drake and Wyrm crests for the next round of upgrades you're planning on making. This is particularly relevant for trinkets and rings that occupy multiple slots on the character, which can only be eligible to benefit from the account-wide discount if all of the slots are full of high-quality equipment.
