WoW Upgrades - The Item Upgrader

Upgrades give a guaranteed boost to certain stats. Each upgrade boosts the level of an item upgrader mod by +3. A random additional substat is also boosted alongside every upgrade.

Upgraded gear generally sees more value in trade as long as it meets low requirements (like the FB sorc's shield) or very high stat variance (like Eth titan weapons). These types of gear get less value from upgrading due to the necessity to roll for a perfect model.

Recycle Points

The item upgrader lets players upgrade their gear by offering the currency to an NPC. Upgrades can be applied on any kind of armor or weapons. The item used to upgrade the item upgrader kit is discarded and cannot be used again. Upgrades can be used to create the enchantments.

The upgrader can be found in all major cities and is accessible anytime to upgrade your gear. To keep your gear up-to-date, it is recommended that you visit the upgrader each couple of weeks.

The cost of upgrades will be based on the current item level of the equipment being upgraded, but will always be cheaper than purchasing new gear from other sources. Upgrades such as upgrading a Benthic chest to ilvl385 will cost you 20 recycle points. A similar item will cost you 105.

Valorstones

Upgrades are items that can be used to upgrade tools, armor, weapon and accessory upgrades. They can be purchased from NPCs of item upgraders in a variety of currencies. They can also find them on random treasure lists. Once an upgrade has been purchased it can be used on any weapon or tool using a button, which displays an image of the item at the next upgrade level if the player has sufficient materials.

The cost of upgrading varies based on the slot for the item and the current item level. For example weapons are more expensive than bracers, or gloves. Each upgrade cost 15 Flightstones and a few crests, with certain upgrades offering discounts to reduce the cost of Flightstones or the crests used. Once an item level upgrade (from the fakenews.win blog) has been upgraded to a certain amount and is degraded, it can be sold and sold back to the upgrader for a lesser amount of the two currency types.

Upgraders for items are available at many locations, including the main island, as well as a few outposts. The NPCs offer an upgrade coupon and a possibility of obtaining an entirely new recipe. The discount for upgrades increases according to the number of items that are being upgraded. It can also be increased by having players complete some specific achievements or complete quests.

Icewind Dale does not have an upgrader for items at the start unlike Cromwell from Baldur's Gate II. The NPCs that can assist with upgrades are only available through a variety of methods. This is both a benefit and an issue.

In Season 3 the upgrade system has been modified a bit, and numerous new features added. After a player has earned an upgrade to a certain level of an item for a specific armor slot, upgrading further items to that level will be less expensive, even if they belong to a different gear set.

The discount applies to all accounts. The amount of Harbinger Crests required for upgrades is reduced as well, but is only available once certain milestones have been reached.

Crests

Players have several options when it comes to upgrading their equipment in WoW. Flightstones are a currency that is available 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 that was introduced in 10.1, and come in four ranks.

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

Players can earn crests through finishing tasks at the appropriate level. This could be done by engaging in outdoor activities or completing dungeons and raids in all difficulties to get equipment of lower tier or Mythicbosses for raids, or dungeons with a heroic difficulty for endgame gear. These crests can 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.

Utilizing these new currencies isn't too complicated, but the system will introduce a few changes to the overall upgrade process. When a piece attains the highest level of upgrade for any rank (Explorer or Adventurer), it is no longer required to purchase Flightstones. This change is intended to allow players to upgrade their equipment to the highest ilvl possible on all their characters, instead of relying on seasonal loot.

Another notable change is that crests have one use and it's crucial to use them wisely. For instance, it's a good idea make use of all your Whelpling-rank crests on the Best item upgrader equipment available and save Drake and Wyrm crests for the next batch of upgrades you plan to create. This is especially applicable to trinkets and rings that occupy multiple slots on the character, that will be able to benefit from the account-wide discount when all slots are filled with top-quality equipment.
