WoW Upgrades – The Item Upgrader Upgrades provide a guaranteed boost to certain stats. Each upgrade increases item level by +3. Each upgrade also increases an unspecified substat. The more modernized gear generally has a higher trade value as long as it meets low requirements (like the FB sorc's shield) or has a high stat variance (like the eth titan weapons). Upgrades are not as useful for those with lower requirements due to the requirement to roll a perfect version. Recycle Points The item upgrader enables players to upgrade their gear to a higher item level by providing the appropriate currency to the NPC. Upgrades can be applied to any kind of weapon or armor. However, the item that is used for the upgrade will be consumed forever and can't be used again. Upgrades can be applied to enchantments. The upgrader is located in every major city, and can be visited at any time to upgrade your gear. It is recommended that you visit the upgrader at least once every few weeks to ensure that your equipment is up-to-date. The cost of upgrades will depend on the current item level of the gear being upgraded, but will always be cheaper than buying new gear from other sources. For instance, upgrading a Benthic chest piece to 385 levels will cost 20 recycle points, purchasing a similar piece from another player will cost 105. Valorstones Upgrades are items that can be used to upgrade weapons, armor, tools, and accessory upgrades. They are purchased by players through item upgrader NPCs in exchange for different currencies, and may also be found in random treasure lists. Once purchased, an upgrade is able to be applied to any tool, weapon, or armor. button, which will display an item's preview at the next upgrade level when the player has enough materials. The cost of upgrading varies based on the slot of the item and the current level of the item. For example weapons are more expensive than bracers, or gloves. Each step costs 15 Flightstones and a variety of crests, with certain upgrades offering discounts to lower the cost of Flightstones or crests that are used. Once an item is upgraded to a certain level it can be re-downgraded and sold to the upgrader for a lower price. Item upgraders can be found at many locations, including the main island and some outposts. The NPCs provide an upgrade discount and the chance to acquire a new upgrade recipe. The discount for upgrades increases depending on the amount of items that are being upgraded. It can also be increased by having players complete specific achievements or quests. Icewind Dale does not have an item upgrader at start, unlike Cromwell from Baldur's Gate II. The NPCs that can assist with upgrades are only available through a variety means. This is both a benefit and a disadvantage. In Season 3, many new features have been added to the upgrade system. Once a player has upgraded to a certain item level for an armor slot upgrading other items to the same level, will cost less. This is true even if the items come from an entirely different set of equipment. The amount of Valorstones required to upgrade is reduced and the discount is account-wide. The amount of Harbinger Crests required to upgrade is reduced also, but is only available after certain milestones are reached. Crests When it comes to upgrading gear in WoW, players have a variety of choices. They can use Flightstones that are a general upgrade currency that is accessible to everyone, or crests, which are more specific and used to upgrade specific levels of the item. Crests are an important part of the Dragonflight Gear Progression System that was introduced in version 10.1. They come in four ranks. The first thing to remember is that the crests can only be purchased for gear that is of a particular rank. Each rank comes with distinct upgrade paths. The most basic and straightforward upgrade route costs 15 crests while the most complex can require as much as 20 crests depending on the kind of gear that is being upgraded. Players can earn crests by working through tasks at the appropriate level. This could mean engaging in outdoor activities or doing dungeons or raids in any difficulty to earn equipment of lower tier or Mythic+ raid bosses or dungeons with a heroic difficulty to obtain endgame gear. Crests can be exchanged at an upgrader NPC like Cuzolth in Dornogal or Vaskarn in Valdrakken to obtain the appropriate upgrade pathways and steps. The new currency system isn't complicated to use, but it does bring some modifications to the 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 change is intended to allow players to get their equipment up to the highest level possible for all their characters instead of relying only on seasonal loot. Another important change is that crests have one purpose therefore it's essential to use them wisely. It is best to use your Whelpling-rank Crests on the top-quality equipment you can find, and keep Drake and Wyrm Crests to be used for the next set of upgrades. This is especially applicable to rings and trinkets that fill multiple slots on the character, which will only be able to avail the discount for all accounts when all slots are full of high-quality equipment.
