WoW Upgrades - The Item Upgrader

Upgrades can give you boosts in specific statistics. Each upgrade boosts the level of an item by 3. Each upgrade also boosts the random substatus.

The more modernized gear generally has a higher trade value as long as it meets low requirements (like the FB sorc's shield) or very high stat variation (like eth titan weapons). Upgrades are not as valuable for those with lower requirements because of the requirement to roll a perfect version.

Recycle Points

The item upgrader allows players to upgrade their gear by offering the currency to an NPC. Upgrades can be applied to any type of weapon or armor. The item upgrades used to upgrade the item will be consumed and can't be used again. Upgrades can be used to create Enchantments.

The upgrader can be found in all major cities and can be visited at any time to upgrade your gear. It is recommended that you visit the upgrader every few weeks to ensure that your equipment is up to date.

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

Valorstones

Upgrades are items that can be used to improve the quality of weapons tools, armor, and accessories. They are purchased by players from NPCs who sell upgrades for items in exchange for different currencies, and can be found in random treasure lists. Once purchased, an upgrade is able to be applied to any weapon, tool or armor. The button will show the preview of an item's next upgrade level in the event that there are enough materials.

Upgrade costs differ based on the item slot, and the current level of the item upgrade. For example weapons cost more than gloves, bracers, or bracers. Each upgrade costs 15 Flightstones and a few crests, with some upgrades offering discounts to reduce the cost of Flightstones or crests that are used. Once an item has been upgraded to a certain degree, it can be downgraded and sold to the upgrader at a lower price.

Upgraders for items are available in a variety of locations, including the main island and some outposts. The NPCs offer both an upgrade discount and the chance to acquire a new upgrade recipe. The upgrade discount increases as more items are upgraded. It can also be increased by having players finish certain achievements or quests.

Icewind Dale does not have an item level upgrade upgrader at the start, unlike Cromwell from Baldur's Gate II. The NPCs who are able to facilitate upgrades are only accessible through a variety means. This is both a positive and a disadvantage.

In Season 3 the upgrade system has been altered a bit, with numerous new features added. After the player has upgraded to a specific level for an armor slot upgrading other items to the same item upgrader mod level, will cost less. This applies even if the items are from an entirely different set of equipment.

The discount applies to all accounts. Similarly, the amount of Harbinger Crests required to upgrade is also reduced and is not available until players reach certain milestones in their achievement.

Crests

When upgrading gear in WoW, players have a couple of options. Flightstones are a currency that is available to everyone for upgrading. Crests are more specialized and are utilized during specific item level upgrades. Crests are a key element of the Dragonflight gear progression system introduced in 10.1, and come in four ranks.

The first thing to remember is that Crests are only available to gear with a certain rank. Each rank comes with a different upgrade path. The simplest and simplest upgrade path costs 15 crests, while the most complex may require as many as 20 crests depending on the kind of gear that is being upgraded.

Players can earn crests through completing content at the appropriate level. This could be by doing outdoor activities or doing dungeons or raids in any difficulty to earn lower-tier gear or Mythicbosses of raids or dungeons that have a high difficulty for endgame gear. Crests can be exchanged at an upgrader NPC, such as Cuzolth in Dornogal, or Vaskarn in Valdrakken to obtain the appropriate upgrade paths and steps.

The new currency system isn't difficult to use, but it does bring some changes to the upgrade process. For instance, once a piece of equipment reaches the highest upgrade level of any rank (Explorer, Adventurer, Veteran, Champion, Hero, or Mythic), it will no longer require Flightstones to be upgraded. This change is designed to allow players to upgrade their gear up to the highest level possible on all their characters instead of relying on seasonal loot.

Another important change is that crests only have one use therefore it's essential to use them wisely. For instance, it's best to use all of your Whelpling-rank crests on the top gear you have available and then keep Drake and Wyrm crests to use for the next set of upgrades you plan to create. This is especially applicable to items like trinkets and rings that fill several slots. The account-wide discount is only applicable when all slots on the character are filled with top-quality equipment.
