WoW Upgrades - The Item Upgrader
Upgrades will give you a an increase in certain stats. Each upgrade boosts the level of the item by +3. Each upgrade also increases a random substat.
The more modernized gear generally has a higher trade value as long as it meets low requirements (like the FB shield of the sorc) or has a high stat variance (like eth titan weapons). The latter see less value from upgrading due to the requirement to roll for a perfect model.
Recycle Points
The item upgrader kit upgrader allows players to upgrade gear to a higher level by providing the appropriate currency to the NPC. Upgrades can be applied to any kind of weapon or armor. The item upgrade used to upgrade item the item upgrader kit will be consumed and cannot be used again. Upgrades can be used to create Enchantments.
You can upgrade your gear anytime by visiting the upgrader in any major city. It is recommended to visit the upgrader every few weeks, to ensure that your equipment is up to date.
Upgrades will cost more depending on the level of the item but they will always be less expensive than purchasing new gear. Upgrades like upgrading a Benthic chest up to 385 ilvl will cost you 20 recycle points. If you purchase a similar item, it will cost you 105.
Valorstones
Upgrades are items that can be used to upgrade weapons tools, armor, and other items. They can be purchased by players through NPCs who sell upgrades to item owners in a variety of currencies. They can also find them on random treasure lists. Once an upgrade is purchased it can be applied to any weapon or tool using a The button will show the item's next upgrade level, if there are enough materials.
Upgrade costs differ based on the item slot, and the current level of the item. For instance, weapons will cost more than gloves, bracers or bracers. Each upgrade costs 15 Flightstones and a number of crests, with some upgrades having a discount to reduce the cost of the Flightstones or crests used. After an item has been upgraded to a certain degree it is able to be downgraded and sold to the upgrader for a lower price.
Many locations offer item level upgrade upgraders in addition to the main island and a few outposts. The NPCs provide both an upgrade discount and the chance to obtain a new upgrade recipe. The discount for upgrading increases as more items are upgraded. It can be increased if players complete certain achievements or quests.
Icewind Dale does not have an item upgrader at beginning, unlike Cromwell from Baldur's gate II. Instead the NPCs that are available to facilitate upgrades are acquired via several methods, which is both an improvement and a drawback.
In Season 3, the upgrade system was altered a bit, with some new features added. Once a player has upgraded to a certain item level for an armor slot, upgrading other items to the same item level will cost less. This applies even if the items come from an entirely different set of equipment.
The discount is applicable to all accounts. The amount of Harbinger Crests needed for upgrades is also cut and is not available until players have reached certain milestones in their achievement.
Crests
Players have a variety of options for upgrading their equipment in WoW. Flightstones are an option that is accessible to all players for upgrading. Crests are more special and are used for specific item level upgrade level upgrades. Crests are a crucial element of the Dragonflight Gear Progression System, which was introduced in version 10.1. They come in four ranks.
First, you must be aware that Crests are only available to equipment that is of a certain rank. Each rank has a different upgrade path. The simplest and simplest upgrade route costs 15 crests while the most complex may require as many as 20 crests based on the kind of gear that is being upgraded.
Players can earn crests by finishing content at the appropriate level. This could mean doing outdoor activities or completing dungeons and raids in any difficulty to earn lower-tier gear or Mythicbosses of raids or dungeons with heroic difficulty to obtain endgame gear. These crests can then be exchanged at an item upgrader NPC, like Cuzolth in Dornogal, or Vaskarn in Valdrakken to get the appropriate upgrade routes and steps.
The new currency system isn't difficult to use, however it brings some changes to the upgrade process. For example, once a piece of equipment reaches the highest level of upgrading for any rank (Explorer, Adventurer, Veteran, Champion, Hero, or Mythic), it won't require Flightstones to be upgraded. This allows players to upgrade their gear to the highest possible ilvl on all of their characters instead of relying on seasonal loot.
Another notable modification is that crests have one purpose and it's crucial to make use of them in a responsible manner. For instance it's a good idea use all of your Whelpling-rank crests on the top equipment you have and keep Drake and Wyrm crests for the next batch of upgrades you're planning to create. This is especially applicable to items like rings and trinkets that occupy several slots. The discount on the account is only applicable when all the slots on the character are filled with top-quality gear.
