A Brief History History Of Item Upgrade

WoW Upgrades - The Item Upgrader

Upgrades will give you a boost to certain stats. Each upgrade increases the item level by +3. A random additional substat is also boosted alongside each upgrade.

The upgraded gear is usually more valuable, unless it has a low requirement by nature (like FB sorc shields) or has a large variance in stats (like Eth Titan weapons). The latter see less value from upgrading due to the need to roll for a perfect version.

Recycle Points

The item upgrader allows players to upgrade their gear by transferring the currency to an NPC. Upgrades can be applied to any type of weapon or armor. The item used to upgrade the item will be consumed and cannot be used again. Upgrades can also be applied to enchantments.

You can upgrade your gear at any time by visiting the upgrader in any major city. It is recommended that you visit the upgrader once every few weeks, to ensure that your equipment is up to date.

The cost of upgrading will be based on the current item upgrading level of the Item Level Upgrade being upgraded however, they will always be less expensive than buying new equipment from other sources. For example, upgrading a Benthic chest piece to ilvl 385 will cost 20 recycle points, purchasing a similar piece from another player will costs 105.

Valorstones

Upgrades are items that are used to upgrade weapons and tools, armor and other accessories. They can be purchased by players from NPCs of item upgraders for a variety of currencies. They can also find them on random treasure lists. Once an upgrade is purchased, it can be applied to any weapon, tool, or armor using a The button will show a preview of an item upgrade's next upgrade level in the event that there are enough materials.

The cost of upgrading varies based on the slot for the item 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 a discount on the Flightstones. Once an item has been upgraded to a certain degree it is able to be downgraded and sold to the upgrader at a lower cost.

Item upgraders can be found at many locations on the main island, as well as a few outposts. The NPCs provide both an upgrade coupon as well as the possibility of obtaining the latest recipe. The discount on upgrades increases as more items are upgraded. It can be increased by having players finish certain achievements or quests.

Icewind Dale does not have an item upgrader at the start unlike Cromwell from Baldur's gate II. The NPCs who are able to facilitate upgrades are only accessible via a variety of ways. This is both a positive and a disadvantage.

In Season 3, the upgrade system was modified a bit, and some new features added. After the player has upgraded to a certain item level for an armor slot upgrading other items to the same level will cost less. This applies even if those items are from another set of gear.

The discount applies to all accounts. The amount of Harbinger Crests needed to upgrade items is cut also, but is only available once certain milestones are achieved.

Crests

When upgrading gear in WoW players have a few choices. Flightstones are an option that is accessible to everyone who wants to upgrade. Crests are more specialized and are utilized during specific item level upgrades. Crests are an integral component of the Dragonflight Gear Progression System that was introduced in version 10.1. They come in four ranks.

The first thing to remember is that Crests are only available to equipment with a certain rank. Each rank has distinct upgrade paths. The most basic and straightforward upgrade process costs just 15 crests while the most complex may require as many as 20 crests depending on the type of equipment that is being upgraded.

Players can earn crests through finishing content at the appropriate level, which involves walking around and engaging in outdoor activities for gear of lower tiers, raids or dungeons of all difficulty for items of higher tier or Mythic+ dungeons or heroic raid bosses to obtain endgame gear. The crests can then be exchanged with an upgrader for the item, such as Cuzolth or Vaskarn in Valdrakken to upgrade the item in the proper steps and routes.

Using these new currencies isn't too complicated however, the system does introduce some changes to the overall upgrade process. When a piece has reached the highest level of upgrade for any rank (Explorer or Adventurer), it no longer requires Flightstones. This is to allow players to upgrade their equipment up to the highest level possible for all their characters instead of relying only on seasonal loot.

It's also crucial to choose crests in a wise manner, as they are only used for one purpose. For instance, it's a good idea to make use of all your Whelpling-rank crests with the best gear you have available and then save Drake and Wyrm crests for the next batch of upgrades you plan to create. This is especially applicable to items like rings and trinkets that occupy several slots. The discount for the entire account is only applicable when all the slots on the character are filled with top-quality gear.
