WoW Upgrades - The Item Upgrader

Upgrades can give you an increase in certain statistics. Each upgrade boosts the level of an item level upgrade by +3. A random extra substat is also increased with every upgrade.

The upgraded gear typically has a higher trade value regardless of whether it has low requirements (like the FB shield of the sorc) or very high stat variation (like eth titan weapons). Upgrades are less valuable for those with higher variance due to the need to roll a perfect version.

Recycle Points

The upgrader for items allows players to upgrade their gear to a higher level by providing the appropriate currency to the NPC. Upgrades can be applied to any kind of weapon or armor. However, the item upgrading used for the upgrade will be consumed forever and cannot be used again. Upgrades can be applied to the enchantments.

The upgrader can be found in every major city, and is accessible at any time to upgrade your equipment. It is recommended that you visit the upgrader at least once every couple of weeks to ensure that your equipment is up-to-date.

Upgrades will cost more depending on the level of the item upgrader mod however they'll always be cheaper than buying new equipment. For instance upgrading a Benthic chest piece to ilvl 385 will cost 20 recycle points, while purchasing the same item from another player will cost 105.

Valorstones

Upgrades are items that are used to upgrade weapons and tools, armor and accessories. They can be bought by players through NPCs who sell upgrades for items in exchange for a variety of currencies, and can be found in random treasure lists. Once an upgrade is purchased, it can be used on any weapon or tool using an The button will show the item's next level of upgrade, in the event that there are enough materials.

Upgrade costs vary depending on the slot for the item upgrader mod and the current item upgrader mod level. For example weapons are more expensive than gloves, bracers, or bracers. Each upgrade cost 15 Flightstones plus a specific number of crests. Some upgrades offer a discount on the Flightstones. Once an item has been upgraded to a certain degree it is able to 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 an upgrade coupon and the possibility of obtaining an entirely new recipe. The discount on upgrades increases as more items are upgraded. It can be increased if players complete certain achievements or quests.

Icewind Dale does not have an upgrader for items at the start unlike Cromwell from Baldur's gate II. The NPCs that can assist with upgrades are available only via a variety of ways. This is both a positive and a drawback.

In Season 3, several new features have been 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 come from an entirely different set of equipment.

The discount is applicable to all accounts. The amount of Harbinger Crests required for upgrades is reduced too, but it is only available once certain milestones have been reached.

Crests

When upgrading equipment in WoW, players have a few choices. Flightstones are a currency that is available to all players for upgrading. Crests are more specialized and are used for specific Item Level Upgrade level upgrades. Crests are the main component of the Dragonflight gear progression system introduced in 10.1, and come in four ranks.

First, you must be aware that the crests can only be purchased for equipment that is of a particular rank. Each rank has distinct upgrade paths. The simplest and easiest upgrade is 15 crests. The most complicated upgrade can require up to 20 crests, depending on the kind of equipment that is being upgraded.

Players can earn crests through completing content of the appropriate level, which means walking around and doing outdoor activities for gear of lower tiers, raids or dungeons with all difficulty for items of higher tier or Mythic+ heroic raid bosses or dungeons for gear that is used in the endgame. These crests are then exchanged with an upgrader, such as Cuzolth or Vaskarn in Valdrakken for the appropriate upgrade steps and routes.

Using these new currencies isn't too difficult, but the system will introduce a few changes to the overall upgrade process. Once a piece of gear has reached the highest level of upgrade for any rank (Explorer or Adventurer), it is no longer required to purchase Flightstones. This is to allow players to get their equipment to the highest ilvl possible on all their characters, instead of relying only on seasonal loot.

It's also essential to use crests wisely, as they have only one purpose. It's best to put your Whelpling-rank Crests on the highest-quality gear that you can find and save Drake and Wyrm Crests for the next round of upgrades. This is particularly relevant for items like rings and trinkets that occupy multiple slots. The account-wide discount will only be applicable if all slots on the character are filled with high-quality gear.
