WoW Upgrades - The Item Level Upgrade Upgrader

Upgrades give a guaranteed boost to certain stats. Each upgrade increases item level by 3. Each upgrade also increases the random substatus.

Upgraded gear is generally more valuable, unless it is not required by nature (like FB sorc shields) or a high stat variance (like eth Titan weapons). The latter are less valuable from upgrading due to the need to roll to get a perfect version.

Recycle Points

The item upgrader allows players to upgrade their gear by giving the currency to an NPC. Upgrades can be made on any kind of weapon or armor. The item used to upgrade the item will be consumed and can't be used again. Upgrades can also be used to create enhancements.

The upgrader can be found in every major city, and is accessible anytime to upgrade your gear. To ensure that your equipment is up-to-date it is recommended that you visit the upgrader each several weeks.

Upgrades can cost more based on the item upgrading level, however, they are always less expensive than purchasing new equipment. For instance upgrading a Benthic chest to 385 levels will cost 20 recycle points while buying a similar item from another player will costs 105.

Valorstones

Upgrades are items that can be used to upgrade tools, armor, weapon, and accessory upgrades. Players can purchase them from item upgraders NPCs in a variety of currencies. They are also available on random treasure lists. Once an upgrade items is purchased, it can be applied to any weapon, tool, or armor with a button, which will display an image of the item at its next upgrade level when the player has enough materials.

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

Upgraders for items are available in many places, including the main island, as well as a few outposts. The NPCs provide an upgrade discount as well as a chance to obtain a new upgrade recipe. The upgrade discount increases with the number of items being upgraded, and can be increased by having players complete specific achievements or complete quests.

In contrast to Cromwell in Baldur's Gate II, there is no item upgrader available at the start of Icewind Dale. The NPCs that can assist with upgrades are only available via a variety of ways. This is both a benefit as well as an issue.

In Season 3, the upgrade system has been modified a bit, and some new features added. Once a player has upgraded to a specific level for an armor slot upgrading other items to the same item level will cost less. This is even if the items come from another set of equipment.

The discount is available to all accounts. The amount of Harbinger Crests needed to upgrade is also reduced and is not available until players reach certain achievement milestones.

Crests

When upgrading gear in WoW players have a couple of choices. Flightstones are a currency that is available to everyone for upgrading. Crests are more specialized, and are used during specific item level upgrades. Crests are the main component of the Dragonflight gear progression system that was introduced in 10.1 and are available in four ranks.

First, you must be aware that crests are only available for gear that is of a particular rank. Each rank has distinct upgrade paths. The simplest and simplest upgrade costs 15 crests. The most complicated upgrade can require up to 20 crests, depending on the type or equipment being upgraded.

Players can obtain crests by finishing content at the appropriate level, which involves walking around and performing outdoor activities to get lower-tier gear, raids or dungeons of all difficulty for items of higher tier, or Mythic+ heroic raid bosses and dungeons for gear that is used in the endgame. These crests are then exchanged with an item upgrader, such as Cuzolth or Vaskarn in Valdrakken for the appropriate upgrade steps and paths.

The new currency system isn't difficult to use, but it will bring some changes to the upgrade process. For example, once a piece of equipment reaches the highest level of upgrade for any rank (Explorer, Adventurer, Veteran, Champion, Hero, or Mythic), it will no longer require Flightstones to be upgraded. This change lets players upgrade item their gear to the highest possible ilvl on all their characters rather than relying on seasonal loot.

Another important change is that crests only have one use therefore it's essential to make use of them in a responsible manner. It is recommended to use your Whelpling-rank Crests on the best gear you can find, and keep Drake and Wyrm Crests for the next round of upgrades. This is especially relevant for items like rings and trinkets that occupy several slots. The discount on the account will only apply when all slots on the character are filled with top-quality equipment.
