A Brief History History Of Item Upgrade

WoW Upgrades - The Item Upgrader

Upgrades give you boost in specific stats. Each upgrade boosts the level of an item by +3. Each upgrade also boosts an unspecified substat.

Upgraded gear is generally more valuable, unless it has a low requirement by nature (like FB sorc shields) or has a high variance in stats (like eth Titan weapons). Upgrades are less important for the latter due to the need to roll the perfect version.

Recycle Points

The item upgrader lets players upgrade their gear by giving the currency to an NPC. Upgrades can be applied to any type of weapon or armor. However, the item that is used for the upgrade will remain in use for a long time and will not be able to be used again. Upgrades can also be applied to enhancements.

You can upgrade your equipment at any time 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 every several weeks.

Upgrades will cost more, based on the item level, however they'll always be cheaper than purchasing new equipment. Upgrades such as upgrading a Benthic chest to 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. They can be purchased from item level upgrade upgraders NPCs for a variety of currencies. They can also find them in random treasure lists. Once an upgrade has been purchased, it can be used on any weapon, tool, or armor using an button, which will display an image of the item at the next upgrade level when the player has enough materials.

Upgrade costs differ based on the item upgrades slot, and the current item level. For example weapons are more expensive than gloves, bracers or bracers. Each upgrade costs 15 Flightstones and a variety of crests, with some upgrades having a discount to reduce the cost of Flightstones or the crests used. Once an item upgrade is upgraded to a certain degree, it can be downgraded and sold to the upgrader at a lower price.

Upgraders for items are available in a variety of locations, including the main island as well as some outposts. The NPCs offer both an upgrade coupon and a possibility of obtaining the latest recipe. The discount for upgrading increases when more items are upgraded. It can be increased by having players complete certain achievements or complete quests.

In contrast to Cromwell in Baldur's Gate II is no upgrader for items available at the beginning of Icewind Dale. The NPCs who are able to facilitate upgrades are only accessible through a variety means. This is both a benefit and an issue.

In Season 3 the upgrade system was tweaked 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 level, will cost less. This is true even if those items come from an entirely different set of gear.

The discount is available to all accounts. In the same way, the amount of Harbinger Crests required for upgrades is also reduced and is not available until players achieve certain achievement milestones.

Crests

When it comes to upgrading gear in WoW, players have a few options. Flightstones are a currency that is available to everyone who wants to upgrade. Crests are more specific and are used for specific item Level upgrade 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.

The first thing to remember is that crests are only able to be spent on equipment of a particular rank, and each rank has different requirements for its upgrade path. The simplest and easiest upgrade costs 15 crests. The most complicated upgrade can require up to 20 crests, based on the type of gear that is being upgraded.

Players can earn crests by completing content of the appropriate level, whether that 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 endgame gear. These crests can then be exchanged at an upgrader NPC like Cuzolth in Dornogal, or Vaskarn in Valdrakken, for the appropriate upgrade pathways and steps.

Using these new currencies isn't too difficult, but the system does introduce some modifications to the upgrade process. For example, once an item reaches the highest upgrade level of any rank (Explorer, Adventurer, Veteran, Champion, Hero, or Mythic) it will no longer require Flightstones to be upgraded. This is to allow players to get their equipment up to the highest possible ilvl for all their characters instead of relying only on seasonal loot.

It's also essential to use crests wisely, as they only have one use. For instance, it's a good idea to use all of your Whelpling-rank crests with the Best item upgrade equipment available and save Drake and Wyrm crests to use for the next set of upgrades you're planning to create. This is especially relevant for trinkets and rings that occupy multiple slots on the character which will only be able to benefit from the discount for all accounts when all of the slots are full of high-quality equipment.
