15 Reasons You Shouldn t Ignore Item Upgrade

WoW Upgrades - The Item Upgrader

Upgrades give a guaranteed boost to specific stats. Each upgrade increases the level of the item by +3. Each upgrade also boosts an unspecified substat.

The upgraded gear typically has a more value in trade as long as it meets low requirements (like the FB shield of the sorc) or very high stat variation (like Eth titan weapons). The latter are less valuable from upgrading due to the requirement to roll for a perfect version.

Recycle Points

The item upgrader allows players to upgrade their gear by offering the currency to an NPC. Upgrades can be applied 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 the enchantments.

You can upgrade your equipment at any time by visiting the upgrader in any major city. To keep your gear current it is recommended that you visit the upgrader each several weeks.

The cost of upgrades will depend on the current item level of the item being upgraded, but will always be less expensive than purchasing new gear from other sources. Upgrades like upgrading a Benthic chest to 385 ilvl 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 to improve the quality of weapons tools, armor, and other items. They are purchased by players from NPCs that sell upgrades to items in exchange for a variety of currencies, and can also be found in random treasure lists. Once an upgrade has been purchased, it can be applied to any weapon, tool, or armor using a button, which will show a preview of the item upgrades at the next upgrade level in the event that the player has enough materials.

The cost of upgrading varies based on the slot of the item and the current level of the item Level upgrade. For example weapons cost more than gloves, bracers or bracers. Each upgrade cost 15 Flightstones and a number of crests, with some upgrades offering discounts to lower the cost of the Flightstones or crests that are used. Once an item upgrading is upgraded to a certain amount, it can be degraded and sold back to the upgrader for a lower amount of both currencies.

Upgraders for items are available in many places, including the main island as well as some outposts. The NPCs offer an upgrade coupon and the chance to obtain an entirely new recipe. The upgrade discount increases when more items are upgraded. It can be increased if players finish certain achievements or quests.

In contrast to Cromwell in Baldur's Gate II there is no upgrader for items in the beginning of Icewind Dale. Instead, the NPCs that are available to help with upgrades are acquired via several methods which is both an improvement as well as a disadvantage.

In Season 3, a number of new features were added to the upgrade system. After an upgrade has been completed 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 are from an entirely different set of equipment.

The discount is available to all accounts. The amount of Harbinger Crests required to upgrade is cut 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 a currency that is available to everyone for upgrading. Crests are more specific and are utilized during specific item level upgrades. Crests are the main component of the Dragonflight gear progression system, which was introduced in 10.1 and are available in four ranks.

First, you must be aware that Crests are only available to gear with a certain rank. Each rank has a different upgrade path. The simplest and simplest upgrade is 15 crests. The most complicated upgrade could require as much as 20 crests, based on the kind of equipment that is being upgraded.

Players can earn crests through completing content of the appropriate level, which means walking around and doing outdoor activities for lower-tier gear, raids or dungeons of any difficulty for higher-tier items, or Mythic+ heroic raid bosses or dungeons for gear that is used in the endgame. These crests are then exchanged with an item upgrader like Cuzolth or Vaskarn in Valdrakken to upgrade the item in the proper steps and paths.

The new currency system isn't complicated to use, however it will bring some modifications to the upgrade process. For instance, when an item upgrades reaches the highest level of upgrade for any rank (Explorer, Adventurer, Veteran, Champion, Hero, or Mythic), it won't need Flightstones to be upgraded. This change allows players to upgrade their equipment to the highest possible ilvl on all of their characters instead of relying on seasonal loot.

It's also essential to use crests wisely, as they have only one purpose. It is best to put your Whelpling-rank Crests on the top-quality equipment that you can find and keep Drake and Wyrm Crests for the next round of upgrades. This is especially true for items like rings and trinkets that take up multiple slots on the character, which can only be eligible to avail the discount for all accounts when all of the slots are filled with high-quality equipment.
