WoW Upgrades - The Item Upgrader
Upgrades give a guaranteed boost to certain stats. Each upgrade boosts the item level by +3. Each upgrade also boosts the random substatus.
Upgraded gear is generally more useful, unless the item upgrader kit has a low requirement by nature (like FB sorc shields) or a high stat variance (like eth Titan weapons). Upgrades aren't as valuable for the latter because of the requirement to roll an exact version.
Recycle Points
The item upgrader allows players to upgrade their gear to a higher item level by supplying the appropriate currency to the NPC. Upgrades can be applied to any type of armor or weapon. However, the item used for the upgrade will be consumed forever and can't be used again. Upgrades can be used to create Enchantments.
The upgrader can be found in every major city, and can be accessed at any time to upgrade your gear. 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 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 up to ilvl385 will cost you 20 recycle points. A similar item level upgrade will cost you 105.
Valorstones
Upgrades are items that can be used to purchase weapon, armor, tool, and accessory upgrades. Players can purchase them from item upgraders NPCs for a variety of currencies. They are also available on random treasure lists. Once purchased, an upgrade can be used on any tool, weapon or armor. button, which will display a preview of the item upgrades at its next upgrade level if the player has sufficient materials.
The cost of upgrading is based on the slot of the item and the current item level as well as the level of the weapon, which is more than gloves or bracers, for example. Each upgrade costs 15 Flightstones plus a certain number of crests. Some upgrades offer a discount on the Flightstones. Once an item has been upgraded to a certain level, it can be downgraded and sold to the upgrader at a lower cost.
Upgraders for items can be found in a variety of locations on the main island as well as some outposts. The NPCs offer an upgrade coupon and a chance to obtain the latest recipe. The discount for upgrades increases depending on the amount of items being upgraded. It can also be increased by having players complete specific achievements or complete quests.
In contrast to Cromwell in Baldur's Gate II there is no upgrader for items in the beginning of Icewind Dale. The NPCs who can facilitate upgrades are available only through a variety means. This is both a benefit and an issue.
In Season 3 the upgrade system was tweaked a bit, with several new features added. After the player has upgraded to a specific level for an armor slot upgrading other items to the same level, will cost less. This is true even if the items are from an entirely different set of gear.
The amount of Valorstones required for upgrades is decreased, and the discount is available across all accounts. The amount of Harbinger Crests required to upgrade is also reduced and is not available until players achieve certain achievement milestones.
Crests
When it comes to upgrading equipment in WoW, players have a variety of options. Flightstones are an item that is available to everyone for upgrading. Crests are more specialized, and are used during specific item level Upgrade level upgrades. Crests are an important element of the Dragonflight Gear Progression System, which was introduced in version 10.1. They are available in four ranks.
First, you must be aware that crests are only available for gear that is of a particular rank. Each rank has distinct upgrade paths. The easiest and most straightforward upgrade costs 15 crests. The most complex upgrade can require up to 20 crests, based on the kind of gear that is being upgraded.
Players can earn crests through working through content at the appropriate level. This could be done by engaging in outdoor activities or doing dungeons or raids in all difficulties to get lower-tier gear or Mythicbosses of raids or dungeons that have a high difficulty for endgame gear. These crests can be exchanged with an upgrader, such as Cuzolth or Vaskarn, in Valdrakken for the appropriate upgrade steps and routes.
The use of these currencies isn't too complicated however, the system does introduce some changes to the overall upgrade process. For instance, when an item 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 is intended to allow players to get their equipment up to the highest possible ilvl on all their characters, rather than relying solely on seasonal loot.
It's also essential to use crests wisely, as they only have one use. For instance, it's a good idea make use of all your Whelpling-rank crests on the top equipment available and then keep Drake and Wyrm crests for the next batch of upgrades you're planning on making. This is particularly relevant for rings and trinkets that fill multiple slots on the character which can only be eligible to avail the discount for all accounts when all slots are filled with high-quality equipment.
