An Easy-To-Follow Guide To Item Upgrade

WoW Upgrades - The Item Upgrader

Upgrades provide a guaranteed boost to specific stats. Each upgrade increases the level of the Item Level Upgrade by +3. A random additional substat is also boosted alongside each upgrade.

Upgraded gear is generally more valuable, unless it has low requirements by nature (like FB sorc shields) or has a high variance in stats (like Eth Titan weapons). Upgrades aren't as useful for the latter because of the requirement to roll a perfect version.

Recycle Points

The item upgrader allows players to upgrade their gear to a higher item level by providing the appropriate currency to the NPC. Upgrades can be applied to any type of armor or weapon. The item used to upgrade the item will be consumed and can't be used again. Upgrades can also be used to create enhancements.

You can upgrade your gear at any time by visiting the upgrader in any major city. To ensure that your equipment is up-to-date it is recommended you visit the upgrader every several weeks.

The cost of upgrading will vary based on the current item level of the item being upgraded but they will always be cheaper than purchasing new gear from other sources. Upgrades such as upgrading a Benthic chest up to ilvl385 will cost you 20 recycle points. Buying a similar Best item upgrade will cost you 105.

Valorstones

Upgrades are items which can be used to improve the quality of weapons and tools, armor and other accessories. Players can purchase them from item upgraders NPCs for a variety of currencies. They are also available on random treasure lists. Once an upgrade is purchased, it can be applied to any weapon or tool using an button, which displays an image of the item at the next upgrade level when the player has enough materials.

The cost of upgrading is based on the slot of the item upgrader kit and current item upgrade level as well as the level of the weapon, which is more than gloves or bracers, for instance. Each upgrade costs 15 Flightstones plus a certain number of crests. Some upgrades offer a discount on the Flightstones. Once an item is upgraded to a certain degree it can be re-downgraded and sold to the upgrader at a lower cost.

Many locations offer item upgraders, including the main Island and some outposts. The NPCs offer an upgrade coupon as well as the chance to obtain an entirely new recipe. The discount on upgrades increases as more items are upgraded. It can be increased if players complete certain achievements or complete quests.

Icewind Dale does not have an item upgrader at the start, unlike Cromwell from Baldur's gate II. Instead the NPCs that can be used to upgrade must be acquired through several methods that are both an improvement but also a drawback.

In Season 3, a number of new features were added to the upgrade system. When a player has an upgrade items to a certain level for an item in an armor slot, upgrading other items to that level will cost less even when they are part of another set of gear.

The discount applies to all accounts. The amount of Harbinger Crests required to upgrade is reduced also, but is only available after certain milestones are achieved.

Crests

When it comes to upgrading gear in WoW players have a couple of options. 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 an essential part of the Dragonflight gear progression system introduced in 10.1 and are available in four ranks.

First, you should know that the crests can only be purchased for equipment that is of a particular rank. Each rank comes with a different upgrade path. The simplest and easiest upgrade is 15 crests. The most complicated upgrade requires up to 20 crests, depending on the type of gear that is being upgraded.

Players can earn crests through working through content at the appropriate level. This could be done by doing outdoor activities or completing dungeons and raids in all difficulties to get lower-tier gear or Mythicbosses of raids or dungeons with heroic difficulty to obtain endgame gear. These crests are then exchanged with an upgrader like Cuzolth or Vaskarn, in Valdrakken to upgrade the item in the proper steps and pathways.

The use of these currencies isn't that difficult however, the system will introduce a few modifications to the upgrade process. When a piece of equipment has reached the highest level of upgrade for any rank (Explorer or Adventurer), it is no longer required to purchase Flightstones. This change allows players to upgrade their gear to the highest possible level on all their characters instead of relying on seasonal loot.

It's also crucial to choose crests wisely, as they have only one purpose. For instance it's a good idea to utilize all of your Whelpling rank crests on the top equipment you have and then keep Drake and Wyrm crests for the next batch of upgrades you're planning to create. This is especially true for items such as trinkets and rings that take up several slots. The discount on the account will only apply when all slots on the character are filled with high-quality equipment.
