WoW Upgrades - The Item Upgrader

Upgrades will give you a an increase in specific stats. Each upgrade increases item upgrader mod level by +3. Each upgrade also increases an unspecified substat.

The upgraded gear is usually more useful, unless the item has a low requirement by nature (like FB sorc shields) or a high stat variance (like the eth Titan weapons). Upgrades are less valuable for the latter due to the need to roll an exact version.

Recycle Points

The item upgrader allows players to upgrade gear to a higher item level by supplying the appropriate currency to the NPC. Upgrades can be made on any type of weapon or armor. The item used to upgrade the item upgrader kit will be consumed and can't be used again. Upgrades can be used to create enchantments.

You can upgrade your equipment anytime by visiting the upgrader in any major city. It is recommended to visit the upgrader every couple of weeks to keep your equipment up-to-date.

The cost of upgrades will be based on the current item level of the equipment being upgraded however, they will always be cheaper than purchasing new equipment from other sources. For instance, upgrading a Benthic chest piece to 385 ilvl will cost 20 recycle points, while buying a similar item Level Upgrade from another player will costs 105.

Valorstones

Upgrades are items that are used to upgrade weapons, tools, armor, and accessories. They can be bought by players from NPCs who sell upgrades for items in exchange for various currencies, and may also be found in random treasure lists. Once purchased, an upgrade is able to be used on any tool, weapon or armor. button, which will show an image of the item upgrader kit at its next upgrade level when the player has enough materials.

The cost of upgrading varies based on the item upgrader mod slot, and the current level of the item. For instance weapons are more expensive than bracers, or gloves. Each upgrade cost 15 Flightstones and a number of crests, with some upgrades offering discounts to lower the cost of Flightstones or crests used. Once an item is upgraded to a certain level, it can be degraded and returned to the upgrader for a lower amount of both currencies.

A lot of locations offer upgraders for items, including the main Island and a few outposts. The NPCs provide an upgrade discount and the chance to acquire a new upgrade recipe. The discount for upgrading increases as more items are upgraded. It can be increased by having players complete certain achievements or complete quests.

Icewind Dale does not have an item upgrader at start, unlike Cromwell from Baldur's Gate II. Instead the NPCs that are available to help with upgrades are acquired via a variety of means which is both an improvement but also a drawback.

In Season 3, several new features were added to the upgrade system. After an upgrade has been completed to a specific level for an armor slot upgrading other items to the same level, will cost less. This is even if those items are from an entirely different set of gear.

The discount applies to all accounts. In the same way, the amount of Harbinger Crests required for upgrades is also reduced and is not available until players achieve certain milestones in their achievement.

Crests

When it comes to upgrading gear in WoW players have a couple of options. Flightstones are an item that is available to all players for upgrading. Crests are more special and are utilized during specific item level upgrades. Crests are an important element of the Dragonflight Gear Progression System introduced in version 10.1. They come in four ranks.

The first thing to be aware of is that crests can only be used to purchase equipment that is of a particular rank, and that each rank has different requirements for its upgrade path. The simplest and easiest upgrade costs 15 crests. The most complex upgrade requires up to 20 crests, depending on the type or gear being upgraded.

Players can earn crests through finishing tasks at the appropriate level. This could be by engaging in outdoor activities or doing dungeons or raids in any difficulty to earn lower-level gear or Mythicbosses of raids or dungeons with a heroic difficulty to obtain endgame gear. These crests are then exchanged with an item upgrader, such as Cuzolth or Vaskarn, in Valdrakken for the appropriate upgrade steps and paths.

Using these new currencies isn't too difficult, but the system will introduce a few changes to the overall upgrade process. For instance, once an item 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 change lets players upgrade their equipment to the highest possible level on all their characters, instead of relying on seasonal loot.

It's also essential to use crests in a wise manner, as they are only used for one purpose. For instance, it's a good idea to make use of all your Whelpling-rank crests on the best equipment you have, and then keep Drake and Wyrm crests for the next round of upgrades you're planning on making. This is especially true for items like rings and trinkets that fill multiple slots on the character which can only be eligible to avail the account-wide discount when all slots are full of high-quality equipment.
