How To Explain Item Upgrader To A Five-Year-Old

World of Warcraft item upgrade Upgrades

item upgrades - other - are a way to boost the stats of an item. Depending on the type of upgrade, it can increase the rarity of an item or mark Level and boost additional stats.

Each item has a track for upgrading it. Each upgrade increases the cost of the next one by a specific amount.

Item Level

The value of an item's stats base increase when it is upgraded. This is the sum of all of an item's leveled-up perks (attack magic attack and defense). Upgrades can be expensive depending on the person you hire and what you decide to do. This is due to the number of perks that need to be modified to upgrade an item.

Item level is a popular measurement of power and is visible on all item tooltips. It also serves to limit how much PvP gear players can wear as PvP is restricted at a lower level. Players can view their average level of items on their character sheet.

When deciding to purchase or sell equipment, players can compare the item level. It's a sign of the damage and quality. Comparing items from the inventory of a vendor is possible using the item's level.

The level of the item can be seen by pressing the ALT key on your PC or using the left stick (L3) on XB1 and PS4. This will show the item's full description, including the ilvl. You can also find it by hovering over an item and typing /itemlevel in chat.

There are several theories about how the item level is determined. One theory is that the item level is a number derived from a formula which calculates how much an item's stats are worth. It takes into account the fact that different perks have different worth, and also that gems in sockets increase the value of the item overall. This could result in an item's ilvl which is calculated and is typically very close to Blizzards actual item level.

However, this isn't the only factor which affects an item's ilvl, because the level of the region the item dropped in can alter the value of its stats, such as by adding an amount to its crit rating or haste rating. Items dropped in higher-level instances will have higher ilvl.

Item Stats

The stats of an item can make or break an item for players. The game makes use of a lot of them in a variety of ways to encourage players to play with a variety of weapons, and also to stop one weapon from being "the Best item upgrade." The base stats of a weapon are increased by the weapon's stat modification which are then increased by the player's skill.

Upgrades to an item may increase the stats of an item. The rarity of an item determines its upgrade cost. For instance, a gray or white item will only be upgraded once, while an item with the rare tiers can be upgraded many times with higher prices.

Affixes can also be used to alter the stats of an item. These are special stat boosts that can be added to an item upgrading by the player, and they come in all sizes and shapes. The affixes can be used to give the item extra damage, add a special capability to the item (such as reviving dead or reducing the cooldowns), or make the item unique by giving a special name to the item.

All affixes can be currently re-rolled by selecting them in the upgrade window, and pressing the green button. This will cost a specific amount in gold and items. These can be used as upgrade gauges as with other rerolling methods.

Players can upgrade an item to a specific stat, or reroll affixes. The possible ranges of stats for an item are determined by the level of the item, but all items are guaranteed to have at least one stat within that range, unless it's a unique item or an item that is a God roll from a raid boss.

Another thing that could be changed is the possibility of upgrading equipment without having to reroll the affixes, or choose which stats to increase. But as with base equipment, this would have to be performed on a per-item basis, and the interface for item comparison wouldn't show all possible stats gained or lost at once.

Item Luck

The Luck stat of a player stacks up to increase the odds of finding items, the properties spawned on loot drops and the intensity of the properties. However, it does not directly affect damage or the ability to upgrade items. It gives the player a chance to upgrade their equipment in earlier waves and is thus more valuable in early game runs than later ones since most players prefer higher weapon scaling and defenses over damage gains.

Luck can also increase the chances of upgrading items at the Blacksmith. This is not to be confused with the Blacksmith's overall chance of upgrading that increase with each item level. It is also possible to be enhanced by using anti-materials like a Scroll of Strength and a Jewel of Blessing.

Weapons, shields, and armor can be made or spawn using the Luck property, with a default value of 40. These items can be improved with golden ingots, or spined leather (depending on the type of material) to increase the value of 40 luck or to increase the luck of the item to 140.

Furthermore some items, like the Hollow weapon that is infused with hollow can be used to increase the damage dealt by any damage-dealing skill by five percent. These items can be purchased in the shop, or they can be made using the correct ingredients.

Item Failure

Not all upgrades are successful. Cash shop items can be used to boost the chances of success for an upgrade or to prevent players from losing their item in the event that it does not work.

When you upgrade item an item, the success rate is shown in the Honing UI. The percentage indicates the probability of successful upgrading an item. This can be increased with Additional Materials or Special materials. There are limitations on how much success rates can be increased and the probability of an upgrade failing cannot exceed 100%.

The luck of an item can affect the effectiveness of an upgrade. All items have an average success rate of 25%, and every item that has Luck increases that chance by 5%.

The upgrade overlays for items are rendered above the items in the inventory. This could block enchantment effects as well as other effects. If you wish to disable the upgrade overlays, the config option decoration.renderUpgradeOverlays can be set to False in the Item Upgrader CORE client config.
