WoW Upgrades - The Item Upgrader

Upgrades can give you boost in certain stats. Each upgrade boosts the item level by +3. A random extra substat is also boosted alongside every upgrade.

The upgraded gear is usually more valuable, unless the item upgrade has low requirements by nature (like FB sorc shields) or has a large variance in stats (like eth Titan weapons). The latter are less valuable from upgrading due to the requirement to roll to get a perfect version.

Recycle Points

The item upgrader allows players to upgrade their gear by transferring the currency to an NPC. Upgrades can be applied to any type of weapon or armor. The item used to upgrade the item will be consumed and cannot be used again. Upgrades can be applied to Enchantments.

You can upgrade your equipment anytime by visiting the upgrader in any major city. To ensure that your equipment is up-to-date, it is recommended that you visit the upgrader each few weeks.

The cost of upgrading will be based on the current level of the gear being upgraded but they 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. If you purchase a similar item upgrading, it will cost you 105.

Valorstones

Upgrades are items that can be used for tools, armor, weapon and accessory upgrades. They can be bought by players through NPCs that sell upgrades to items in exchange for different currencies, and can be found in random treasure lists. Once purchased, an upgrade can be used on any tool, weapon, or armor. button, which will show a preview of the item when it is upgraded when the player has enough materials.

The upgrade cost depends on the item slot and current item Level Upgrade level as well as the level of the weapon, which is more than gloves or bracers, for example. Each step costs 15 Flightstones plus a set number of crests. Some upgrades give a discount on the Flightstones. Once an item level upgrade has been upgraded to a certain amount, it can be downgraded and sold to the upgrader for a lower price.

Upgraders for items can be found in a variety of locations on the main island as well as some outposts. The NPCs provide both an upgrade discount and the chance to acquire a new upgrade recipe. The upgrade discount increases when more items are upgraded. It can be increased by having players complete certain achievements or quests.

In contrast to Cromwell in Baldur's Gate II, there is no item upgrader available at the beginning of Icewind Dale. Instead the NPCs that can be used to upgrade must be acquired through various methods that are both an improvement and a drawback.

In Season 3, the upgrade system was altered a bit, with numerous new features added. After an upgrade has been completed to a certain item level for an armor slot, upgrading other items to the same item level, will cost less. This is even if those items come from a different set of equipment.

The amount of Valorstones required to upgrade is reduced and the discount is available across all accounts. The amount of Harbinger Crests required to upgrade is cut too, but it is only available once certain milestones are achieved.

Crests

When it comes to upgrading equipment in WoW players have a variety of options. Flightstones are an item that is available to all players for upgrading. Crests are more specific, and are used during specific item level upgrades. Crests are an essential part of the Dragonflight gear progression system that was introduced in 10.1, and come in 4 ranks.

The first thing to note is that crests are only able to be spent on equipment that is of a particular rank, and every rank has different requirements for its upgrade path. The simplest and most straightforward upgrade item route costs 15 crests while the most complicated requires as many as 20 crests based on the type of gear being upgraded.

Players can earn crests through finishing content at the appropriate level. This could mean engaging in outdoor activities or taking on dungeons and raids of all difficulty levels to obtain equipment of lower tier or Mythicbosses for raids, or dungeons with a heroic difficulty for endgame gear. These crests can then be exchanged at an upgrader NPC like Cuzolth in Dornogal or Vaskarn in Valdrakken to get the appropriate upgrade paths and steps.

Using these new currencies isn't too difficult however, the system does introduce some modifications to the upgrade process. For example, once a piece of equipment reaches the highest upgrade level of any rank (Explorer, Adventurer, Veteran, Champion, Hero, or Mythic), it won't require Flightstones to be upgraded. This change is designed to allow players to get their gear up to the highest level possible on all their characters instead of relying on seasonal loot.

It's also important to use crests wisely, as they are only used for one purpose. For instance it's best to utilize all of your Whelpling rank crests on the top gear you have available and then keep Drake and Wyrm crests for the next batch of upgrades you plan on making. This is particularly applicable to items like rings and trinkets that occupy several slots. The discount on the account will only be applicable if all the slots on the character are filled with top-quality gear.
