World of Warcraft Item Upgrades

Item upgrades can be used to improve the stats of a particular item. Based on the type of upgrade it can boost an item's Mark Level or Rarity and boost additional stats.

Upgrades to equipment in The War Within requires a set number of Flightstones and Crests, and each item comes with an upgrade track. Each upgrade increases the cost of the next one by a specific amount.

item upgrade Level

The value of an item's basic stats increase when it is upgraded. This is the sum of all of its leveled up advantages (attack, magic attack and defense). Upgrading items can be expensive dependent on the upgrader and the type of upgrade you choose to make. This is due to how many perks need to be replaced in order for the item to get upgraded.

The level of an item is a commonly used measurement of power and is visible on all item tooltips. It also serves to limit the amount of PvP gear players are able to wear as PvP is restricted at a lower level. The average level of the item can be found in the character sheet.

Utilizing the level of an item can help players evaluate the potency of gear when choosing to buy or sell. It's an indicator of the item's damage and its quality. Comparing items from a vendor's stock can be done using the item's level.

On PC, you can see the level of the item by pressing ALT or using the left stick on XB1 or PS4. This will display the complete description of the item, as well as its value. It can also be found by hovering over an item using the mouse cursor, and then typing /itemlevel in chat.

There are several theories about how the level of an item is determined. One theory is that the level is a numerical value derived from a formula which calculates the amount an item's stats are worth. It takes into account the fact that various perks have different value and that sockets have gems that increase the overall value of the item. This process can result in a calculated amount for the item's level, which is usually close to the actual Blizzard level of the item upgrader mod.

This isn't the only factor that influences the ilvl of an item. The location of where the item dropped can also change its stats. For example it can add a level to the item's haste, or crit rating. Items that drop in higher-level instances will have higher ilvl.

Item Stats

Item stats are a big component of what determines the value of an item for players. The game makes use of a lot of them in a variety of ways to encourage players to play with a variety of weapons, and to prevent one weapon from being "the Best item upgrade." The stats of a base weapon are boosted by the weapon's stat mods which are then increased by the player's skill.

The upgrades to an item can increase its stats. The costs for upgrades are determined by the rarity of the item. For instance, a grey or white item will only be upgraded once, while an item with rare levels will be upgraded multiple times, at higher costs.

Affixes are a different method to change an item's stats. They are stat boosters that can be added by the player to an item. Affixes are used to give items extra damage or other special abilities (such as reviving dead or reducing cooling downs) or to differentiate them by naming them.

At present, all affixes can be changed by selecting them from the upgrade window and pressing the green button with circles arrows. This process will cost the player a certain amount of gold as well as items that can be used to add to the upgrade gauge in the same manner as the other options for rerolling.

Players can upgrade an item with specific stats or reroll affixes. The range of stats determined by the item's level. However every item will contain at least one stat within that range unless they are a unique item, or an item that has a God Roll from a raid boss.

Another thing that could be changed is the possibility of upgrading equipment without having to roll the attaches, or select which stats to enhance. But, like base equipment, this would need to be carried out on a per-item upgrader kit (relevant resource site) basis, and the item compare interface would not display all the possible stats gained or lost at once.

Item Luck

A player's Luck stat stacks up to increase the likelihood of finding items and the properties that are spawned from loot drops and the intensity of these properties. However, it does not directly affect damage or the ability to upgrade items. It simply gives players a chance to acquire better equipment in earlier waves, and is therefore more beneficial in the early game than later ones as most players prioritize higher weapon scaling and defenses over damage gains.

In addition to influencing item discovery, Luck also increases the chance of success when upgrading items using the Blacksmith. This is not to confuse with the Blacksmith’s overall upgrade chances that increase with each new level of item. These can also be increased by using anti-materials like the Scroll of Strength and a Jewel of Blessing.

Weapons, shields, and armor can be made or spawn with the Luck property, with the default value of 40. These items can be enhanced with golden ingots, spined leather, or oak boards (depending on the material of the item) to grant an additional +40 Luck or to increase the Luck of an item up to 140.

Certain items, such as the Hollow-infused weapon can also be outfitted to increase the damage dealt by any skill that deals damage by five percent. These items can be purchased in the shop or created with the right ingredients.

Item Failure

Not all upgrades work. However, there are some cash shop items that allow players to boost their success rate or prevent themselves from losing an item in the event that the upgrade is unsuccessful.

The rate of success of an upgrade is shown in the Honing UI. The percentage is the probability of successful upgrading an item. This can be increased with Additional Materials or Special Materials. The probability of success can only be increased as much, and the chance that an upgrade will fail can't be greater than 100%..

The success of an item upgrades is also influenced by the Luck of that item. Every item has an initial success rate of 25%, and each item with Luck increases that chance by five percent.

The upgrade overlays of the item are rendered above items in the inventory. This may 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.
