10 Myths Your Boss Is Spreading Concerning Item Upgrade

WoW Upgrades - The Item Upgrader

Upgrades give you boost in certain statistics. Each upgrade boosts the level of an item by 3. Each upgrade also increases the random substatus.

Upgraded gear is generally more valuable, unless the item has low requirements by nature (like FB sorc shields) or a high stat variance (like eth Titan weapons). Upgrades aren't as important for those with lower requirements due to the need to roll the perfect version.

Recycle Points

The item upgrader lets players upgrade their gear by transferring the currency to an NPC. Upgrades can be applied to any type of armor or weapon. However, the item used to upgrade will remain in use for a long time and cannot be used again. Upgrades can be applied to Enchantments.

The upgrader is located in every major city, and can be visited at any time to upgrade your gear. To keep your gear current it is recommended that you visit the upgrader each few weeks.

The cost of upgrading will vary based on the current item level of the equipment being upgraded, but will always be less expensive than purchasing new gear from other sources. Upgrades like upgrading a Benthic chest to the level of ilvl385 will cost you 20 recycle points. If you purchase a similar item, it will cost you 105.

Valorstones

Upgrades are items that can be used for weapon, armor, tool, and accessory upgrades. Players can purchase them through NPCs who sell upgrades to item owners for a variety of currencies. They can also find them in random treasure lists. Once purchased, an upgrade is able to be used on any weapon, tool or armor. button, which will display an item's preview at the next upgrade level in the event that the player has enough materials.

Upgrade costs vary depending on the slot for the item and the current level of the item. For example weapons are more expensive than gloves, bracers, or bracers. Each step costs 15 Flightstones and a number of crests, with certain upgrades having a discount to lower the cost of Flightstones or crests that are used. After an item has been upgraded to a certain degree it is able to be downgraded and sold to the upgrader at a lower price.

A lot of locations offer upgraders for items in addition to the main island and some outposts. The NPCs offer both an upgrade coupon and the possibility of getting an entirely new recipe. The upgrade discount 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 upgrade r at the start unlike Cromwell from Baldur's gate II. Instead, the NPCs that are available to help with upgrades must be acquired through a variety of means, which is both an improvement and a drawback.

In Season 3, the upgrade system has been modified a bit, and several new features added. When a player has an upgrade to a particular level for an item in an armor slot, upgrading further items to the same level will be less expensive, even when they belong to another set of gear.

The amount of Valorstones needed for upgrades is decreased, and the discount is affixed to all accounts. The amount of Harbinger Crests needed for upgrades is also reduced and is not available until players achieve certain milestones in their achievements.

Crests

Players have a number of options for upgrading their gear in WoW. Flightstones are a currency that is available to everyone who wants to upgrade. Crests are more specific and are used for specific level upgrades for items. Crests are a key element of the Dragonflight gear progression system, which was introduced in 10.1, and come in four ranks.

The first thing to be aware of is that crests are only able to be used on equipment of a particular rank, and that each rank has its own requirements for its upgrade path. The simplest and simplest upgrade is 15 crests. The most complex upgrade can require up to 20 crests, depending on the kind of gear that is being upgraded.

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

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

Another important modification is that crests have one usage therefore it's essential to make use of them in a responsible manner. For instance it's a good idea utilize all of your Whelpling rank crests on the top equipment you have and then save Drake and Wyrm crests for the next round of upgrades you're planning to make. This is especially relevant for rings and trinkets that fill multiple slots on the character that will be able to take advantage of the account-wide discount when all of the slots are filled with high-quality equipment.
