World of Warcraft Item Upgrades
Item upgrades can be used to improve the stats of an item. Depending on the type of upgrade you choose, it can boost an item's Rarity or Mark Level and increase other stats.
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 next one by a set amount.
Item Level
The value of an item's base stats increase when it is upgraded. The value is the sum of all the leveled up advantages (attack magic attack, attack defense). Upgrades can be costly, dependent on who you employ and what you do. This is because of how many perks must be replaced to allow the item to get upgraded.
The level of an item is a commonly used measurement of power and is visible on all tooltips of items. It also serves to limit the amount of PvP gear players are able to wear as PvP is restricted at a lower level. Players can view their average item level in their character sheet.
The level of an item can help players evaluate the potency of gear when deciding to purchase or sell. It's an excellent indicator of an item's quality and the amount of damage it is capable of dealing with. Comparing items from the inventory of a seller 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 display the item's full description, including the ilvl. It is also accessible by hovering an item with the mouse cursor and typing /itemlevel in chat.
There are several theories about how the level of an item is calculated. One theory says that the level of an item is calculated by formulas that determine the value of an item's stats really are. It is based on the fact that different advantages are valued differently and that gems found in sockets increase the item's value. This can result in a calculated value for the item's ilvl, which is typically close to Blizzard's actual level of the item.
However, this isn't the only factor which affects an item's ilvl, since the level of the area the item dropped in can alter the value of its stats, such as by adding an additional level to its haste rating or crit rating. This means that items dropped at higher levels will have more ilvl than those from lower-level instances.
Item Stats
Stats on an item are a significant part of what determines the value of an item for players. The game uses a lot of them in a variety of ways to encourage players to play with multiple weapons, and prevent one weapon from being "the best." The stat mods on a weapon boost the base stats. These stat mods are then enhanced by a player's skill.
Item upgrades add to that by increasing certain stats on the item. The rarity of an item determines its cost of upgrading. An item that is white or grey for instance, will only be upgraded once however, items with rare tiers can be upgraded several times at higher costs.
Another way to change the stats on an item is through affixes. They are stat boosters that can be added by the player to an item. The affixes can do things like give the item extra damage, or give a specific capability to the item (such as reviving dead or cutting down the duration of cooldowns), or make the item unique by giving an additional name to the item.
All affixes can be re-rolled at the moment by selecting them in the upgrade menu and pressing the green button. It will cost a set amount in gold and items. These can be used as upgrade gauges, just like the other methods of rerolling.
Players can upgrade an item by specific stats or reroll affixes. The range of stats is determined by the item's level. However every item will include at least one stat within the same range, unless it's a unique item upgrader kit or the item is a God Roll from a boss in a raid.
Another thing that could be changed is the possibility of upgrading equipment without having to reroll affixes, or choose which stats to increase. As with the base equipment, this must be done per item and the item comparison interface would not display all the possible stats at once.
item upgrade Luck
The Luck stat of a player boosts the probability of obtaining items as well as the properties generated by loot, and the intensity of these properties. However, it doesn't directly affect damage or the ability to upgrade items. It provides players with the chance to upgrade equipment earlier in the game. This is more beneficial in early game runs since players tend to prioritize weapon scaling and defenses above raw damage gains.
In addition to influencing the discovery of items, Luck also increases the probability of being successful when upgrading items using the Blacksmith. This isn't to be confused with the Blacksmith's overall chance of upgrading, which increase with each item level. They can also be increased with the use of anti-materials such as a Scroll of Strength and a Jewel of Blessing.
Armor, shields, and weapons have the default Luck value of 40. These items can be enhanced with golden ingots, spined leather or oak boards (depending on the item's material type) to grant an additional +40 Luck or to boost the Luck of an item, up to 140.
Certain items, such as the weapon with Hollow-infused components can also be crafted to increase the damage of any skill that causes damage by 5%. These items are available at the store, or they can be made using the correct ingredients.

Not all upgrades work. However, there are some cash shop items that allow players to increase their chance of success or stop them from losing an item if the upgrade is unsuccessful.
When you upgrade an item, the success rate is displayed in the Honing UI. The percentage indicates the probability of successfully upgrading an item. This can be increased by using Additional Materials or Special materials. There are limitations to how much success rates can be increased, and the overall chance of an upgrade failing cannot be greater than 100%..
The success of an upgrades is also influenced by the luck of that item. All items have an average success rate of 25 percent, and each item with Luck increases the chance of success by five percent.
The upgrade item overlays for items are displayed above items in the inventory. This can cause obscurity to enchantment effects or 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.
