A Step-By Step Guide To Item Upgrade

WoW Upgrades - The Item Upgrader

Upgrades will give you a an increase in specific statistics. Each upgrade increases the item level by +3. Each upgrade also boosts an unspecified substat.

The more modernized gear generally has a greater value for trade, unless it has inherently low requirements (like the FB shield of the sorc) or a very high stat variation (like the eth titan weapons). The latter see less value from upgrading due to the necessity to roll for a perfect model.

Recycle Points

The item upgrader allows players to upgrade their gear by offering the currency to an NPC. Upgrades can be applied to any type of armor or weapons. However, the item that is used to upgrade will be consumed forever and can't be used again. Upgrades can be used to create the enchantments.

The upgrader is located in every major city, and is accessible at any time to upgrade your equipment. It is recommended that you visit the upgrader every few weeks, to keep your equipment up-to-date.

The cost of upgrades will vary based on the current item level of the item being upgraded, but will always be less expensive than purchasing new gear from other sources. Upgrades such as upgrading a Benthic chest up to 385 ilvl will cost you 20 recycle points. A similar item will cost you 105.

Valorstones

Upgrades are useful items that can be used to improve the quality of weapons, tools, armor, and other accessories. They can be purchased by players from item upgraders NPCs for various currencies. They can also find them in random treasure lists. Once an upgrade has been purchased, it can be applied to any weapon or tool with the help of button, which will display an item's preview when it is upgraded if the player has sufficient materials.

The cost of upgrades varies based on the item slot and the current item level as well as the level of the weapon, which is more than gloves or bracers, for instance. Each upgrade cost 15 Flightstones plus a set number of crests. Certain upgrades provide a discount on the Flightstones. Once an item is upgraded to a certain level it is able to be downgraded and sold to the upgrader for a lower price.

Many locations offer item upgraders in addition to the main island and some outposts. The NPCs provide both an upgrade discount as well as a chance to obtain a new upgrade recipe. The discount on upgrades increases according to the number of items being upgraded. It can also be boosted by having players complete specific achievements or complete quests.

In contrast to Cromwell in Baldur's Gate II there is no item level Upgrade upgrader available at the beginning of Icewind Dale. Instead the NPCs that are available to help with upgrades must be acquired through several methods which is both an improvement and a drawback.

In Season 3, several new features were added to the upgrade system. After a player has earned an upgrade item to a specific level of an item for a specific armor slot, upgrading further items to that same item level will be less expensive, even if they are part of a different gear set.

The discount is applicable to all accounts. The amount of Harbinger Crests needed for upgrades is also cut and is not available until players have reached certain achievement milestones.

Crests

When it comes to upgrading equipment in WoW, players have a few choices. Flightstones are an item that is available to everyone for upgrading. Crests are more specific and are utilized during specific item level upgrades. Crests are a crucial part of the Dragonflight Gear Progression System that was introduced in version 10.1. They are available in four ranks.

The first thing to remember is that crests can only be used to purchase gear of a specific rank, and every rank has different requirements for its upgrade path. The simplest and easiest upgrade is 15 crests. The most complicated upgrade could require as much as 20 crests, depending on the kind of gear being upgraded.

Players can earn crests by finishing tasks at the appropriate level. This could be done by doing outdoor activities or completing dungeons and raids in all difficulty levels to obtain lower-tier gear or Mythic+ raid bosses or dungeons with a heroic difficulty for endgame gear. The crests can then be exchanged with an item upgrade upgrader like Cuzolth or Vaskarn, in Valdrakken to upgrade the item in the proper steps and pathways.

Utilizing these new currencies isn't too difficult, but the system does introduce some changes to the overall upgrade process. For example, once a piece of equipment reaches the highest level of upgrade items for any rank (Explorer, Adventurer, Veteran, Champion, Hero, or Mythic) it won't need Flightstones to be upgraded. This change allows players to upgrade their gear to the highest possible level on all their characters rather than relying on seasonal loot.

It's also important to use crests with care, since they only have one use. For instance it's best to use all of your Whelpling-rank crests on the top gear you have available, and then keep Drake and Wyrm crests for the next round of upgrades you plan on making. This is especially relevant for trinkets and rings that occupy multiple slots on the character that will be able to avail the account-wide discount if all slots are full of high-quality gear.
