WoW Upgrades - The item level upgrade Upgrader

Upgrades will give you a an increase in certain statistics. Each upgrade boosts the item level by +3. A random additional substat is also added to each upgrade.

The upgraded gear is usually more valuable, unless the item has low requirements by nature (like FB sorc shields) or a high stat variance (like Eth Titan weapons). The latter see less value from upgrading due to the need to roll for a perfect version.

Recycle Points

The item upgrader allows players to upgrade their gear by transferring the currency to an NPC. Upgrades can be applied to any type of armor or weapon. However, the item that is used for the upgrade will remain in use for a long time and will not be able to be used again. Upgrades can also be applied to enhancements.

The upgrader can be found in every major city, and can be accessed at any time to upgrade your gear. It is recommended to visit the upgrader every few weeks, to ensure that your equipment is up-to-date.

Upgrades will cost more depending on the level of the item, however they'll always be cheaper than purchasing new equipment. Upgrades such as upgrading a Benthic chest up to ilvl385 will cost you 20 recycle points. Buying a similar item will cost you 105.

Valorstones

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

Upgrade costs differ based on the item upgrade slot, and the current level of the item. For example weapons are more expensive than bracers, or gloves. Each upgrade cost 15 Flightstones plus a certain number of crests. Some upgrades offer discounts on Flightstones. Once an item level upgrade is upgraded to a certain amount it can be re-downgraded and sold to the upgrader at a lower cost.

Many locations offer item upgraders which include the main island and a few outposts. The NPCs provide both an upgrade coupon and a possibility of getting an entirely new recipe. The upgrade discount increases when more items are upgraded. It can be increased if players complete certain achievements or quests.

In contrast to Cromwell in Baldur's Gate II there is no upgrader for items available at the start of Icewind Dale. Instead, the NPCs that are available to help with upgrades must be acquired through several methods that are both an improvement as well as a disadvantage.

In Season 3, the upgrade system has been modified a bit, and several new features added. Once an upgrade has been completed to a certain level of item for an armor slot, upgrading other items to the same item level will cost less. This is true even if those items are from a instead of relying on seasonal loot.

It's also essential to use crests wisely, as they have only one purpose. For instance it's best to make use of all your Whelpling-rank crests on the best gear you have available and save Drake and Wyrm crests for the next batch of upgrades you plan to create. This is particularly applicable to items like trinkets and rings that take up multiple slots. The discount for the entire account is only applicable when all the slots on the character are filled with high-quality gear.
