WoW Upgrades - The Item Upgrader

Upgrades provide a guaranteed boost to specific stats. Each upgrade boosts the level of an Item Level Upgrade by +3. Each upgrade also increases the random substatus.

The more modernized gear generally has a greater value for trade regardless of whether it has low requirements (like the FB shield of the sorc) or very high stat variance (like eth titan weapons). The latter are less valuable from upgrading due to the need to roll to get a perfect version.

Recycle Points

The item upgrader enables players to upgrade their gear to a higher level by providing the appropriate currency to the NPC. Upgrades can be applied to any type of armor or weapon. The item used to upgrade the item upgrading will be consumed and can't be used again. Upgrades can be used to create enchantments.

The upgrader is located in every major city, and can be accessed at any time to upgrade your gear. It is recommended to visit the upgrader every few weeks to ensure that your equipment is up to date.

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

Valorstones

Upgrades are functional items which can be used to level up weapons and tools, armor and other items. They can be purchased by players through NPCs who sell upgrades to item owners for various currencies. They can also find them on random treasure lists. Once an upgrade items has been purchased it can be used on any weapon, tool, or armor with the help of The button will show the item's next upgrade level, if there are enough materials.

The upgrade cost depends on the slot of the item and current item level, with weapons costing more than gloves or bracers, for example. Each upgrade costs 15 Flightstones and a number of crests, with certain upgrades having a discount to lower the cost of the Flightstones or the crests used. Once an item is upgraded to a certain level 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 can be found in many places, including the main island as well as some outposts. The NPCs offer an upgrade coupon and a chance to obtain an entirely new recipe. The discount on upgrades increases as more items are upgraded. It can be increased if players finish certain achievements or quests.

Icewind Dale does not have an item upgrade upgrader at beginning unlike Cromwell from Baldur's Gate II. The NPCs that can assist with upgrades are only accessible through a variety of methods. This is both a benefit and a disadvantage.

In Season 3 the upgrade system has been modified a bit, and several new features added. Once a player obtains an upgrade to a certain level for an item in an armor slot, upgrading additional items to the same level will cost less even in the event that they belong to another set of gear.

The discount is available to all accounts. The amount of Harbinger Crests required to upgrade is cut too, but it is only available once certain milestones are reached.

Crests

Players have a variety of choices when it comes to upgrading their equipment in WoW. Flightstones are an option that is accessible to everyone for upgrading. Crests are more specific and are used for specific item level upgrades. Crests are the main component of the Dragonflight gear progression system, which was introduced in 10.1 and item level upgrade are available in 4 ranks.

The first thing to remember is that Crests are only available to equipment that is that is of a particular rank. Each rank has distinct upgrade paths. The simplest and simplest upgrade process costs just 15 crests while the most complex may require as many as 20 crests based on the type of equipment that is being upgraded.

Players can obtain crests by finishing content at the appropriate level, whether that involves walking around and engaging in outdoor activities for lower-tier gear, dungeons or raids of all difficulty for items of higher tier or Mythic+ heroic raid bosses or dungeons for endgame gear. These crests can then be exchanged at an upgrader NPC, such as Cuzolth in Dornogal or Vaskarn in Valdrakken to obtain the appropriate upgrade routes and steps.

The new currency system isn't too difficult to use, but it will bring some changes to the process of upgrading. Once a piece of gear reaches the highest level of upgrade for any rank (Explorer or Adventurer) it is no longer required to purchase Flightstones. This is to allow players to upgrade their equipment to the highest ilvl possible on all their characters instead of relying on seasonal loot.

It's also essential to use crests in a wise manner, as they only have one use. For instance, it's a good idea make use of all your Whelpling-rank crests on the top gear you have available, and then save Drake and Wyrm crests for the next batch of upgrades you're planning to create. This is especially true for items such as trinkets and rings that fill multiple slots. The account-wide discount will only apply when all slots on the character are filled with high-quality equipment.
