World of Warcraft item upgrader mod Upgrades

Upgrades to items are a method to boost the stats of an item. Based on the type of upgrade, it may increase an item's Mark Level or Rarity, and also boost other stats.

The process of upgrading gear in The War Within requires a specified number of Flightstones and Crests, and each item comes with an upgrade track. Each upgrade increases the cost of the following one by a set amount.

Item Level

When an item is upgraded, its base stats increase in value. The value is the sum of all of an item's leveled-up perks (attack magic attack and defense). Upgrading items can be expensive, depending on the upgrader you choose and what type of upgrade you choose to make. This is due to the sheer number of perks that need to be modified to upgrade an item.

Item level is a popular measure of power, and is visible on all tooltips of items. It can also be used to limit the amount of PvP gear players can wear as PvP is restricted at lower levels. The average level of the item is listed on the character sheet.

When deciding whether to purchase or sell equipment players can look at the levels of the item. It's an excellent indicator of the quality of an item and the amount of damage it will be capable of causing. Comparing items in the inventory of a seller can be done using the item's level.

The level of the item can be seen by pressing the ALT key on a PC or using the left stick (L3) on XB1 and PS4. This will display the full description of the item, including its level. It can also be located by hovering over an item using the mouse cursor, and then typing /itemlevel into chat.

There are several theories on how the calculation of an item's level is done. One theory states that the item level is determined by an equation that determines how valuable an item's stats really are. It takes into consideration that different benefits are valued differently and that gems found in sockets boost the value of the item. This process could result in a calculated amount for the item's ilvl which is usually quite close to Blizzard's actual item level.

However, this isn't the only factor which affects an item's ilvl, since the level of the region the item was dropped in could alter the value of its stats, for example by adding a level to its crit rating or haste rating. Items dropped in higher-level instances will have a higher ilvl.

Item Stats

Item stats can be the difference between a good or bad item for players. The game uses them in many ways to encourage players not to limit themselves to one weapon, and to encourage players to experiment with other weapons. The stat mods on weapons boost base stats. These stat mods are then increased by a player's level.

Item upgrades add to that by increasing certain stats of the item. The rarity of an item determines its upgrade cost. For instance, a grey or white Best item upgrade will only be upgraded once, whereas an item with the rare levels will be upgraded multiple times, at higher costs.

Another way to change the stats on an item is through affixes. These are special stat boosts that can be added to an item by the player and come in a variety of sizes and shapes. The affixes could do things like give the Best item upgrade extra damage, or give a specific ability to the item (such as reviving the dead or decreasing the duration of cooldowns), or make the item unique by adding a special name to the item.

All affixes are currently re-rolled by selecting them in the upgrade window, pressing the green button. This procedure will cost the player a specific amount of gold and items, which can be added to the upgrade Item gauge in the same way as other rerolling options.

Players can upgrade an item by specific stats or reroll affixes. The possible stat ranges of an item are determined by the level of the item, however every item is guaranteed to have at least 1 stat within the range, unless it's an item that is unique or a God roll from a boss in a raid.

Another thing that could change is the possibility to upgrade equipment without having to reroll attaches, or select which stats to boost. But as with base equipment, this would have to be done on a per-item basis, and the item compare interface would not display all the possible stats either lost or gained at the same time.

Item Luck

The Luck stat of a player increases the chance of finding items as well as the properties spawned by loot and the intensity of these properties. It does not, however directly affect damage or the ability to upgrade items. It gives players the chance to upgrade their equipment earlier in the game and is thus more valuable in the initial game run than later ones because most players value more powerful weapon scaling and defenses over raw damage gains.

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

The shields, armor, and weapons have a default Luck value of 40. These items can be enhanced by using golden ingots or spined leather (depending on their material type) for a further +40 luck, or to increase an item's existing Luck up to 140.

Certain items, like the weapon that is infused with hollow, can also be equipped to increase the damage dealt by any ability that causes damage by 5percent. These items can be found in the shop or crafted using the right ingredients.

Item Failure

Upgrades to items are costly and not all upgrades will succeed. Cash shop items can be used to boost the chances of success for an upgrade or to prevent players from losing their items if it fails.

The rate of success of an upgrade is shown in the Honing UI. The percentage is the chances of successfully upgrading that item, and it can be increased by adding Additional Materials or Special Materials. There are limitations to how much the success rates can be improved and the probability of an upgrade failing can't be greater than 100%..

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

It is important to note that upgrade items are rendered above the inventory items therefore enchantment glints and other effects could be masked by them. 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.
