World of Warcraft Item Upgrades

The upgrade of an item can be used to improve the stats of an item. Depending on the type of upgrade, it can increase an item's Rarity or Mark Level, and also boost other stats.

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

Item Level

The value of an item's basic stats increases as it is upgraded. This is the sum of all of the perks that are leveled up (attack magic attack and defense). Upgrades can be expensive dependent on who you employ and what you do. This is due to the variety of perks that must be modified to upgrade an item.

Item level is a commonly used measurement of power and can be seen on all tooltips for items. It is also used to limit how much PvP gear players can use, since PvP is limited at a lower level. The average level of the item can be found on the character sheet.

The level of an item will allow players to compare the potency of gear when choosing to buy or sell. It's a measure of the damage and its quality. The level of an item can be used to compare items when looking at the inventory of a seller.

On your PC, you can view the item level by pressing ALT or by using the left stick on XB1 or PS4. This will show the full description of the item, as well as its ilvl. You can also locate it by hovering over an item Upgrader mod and typing /itemlevel into chat.

There are a variety of theories on the method by which the level of an item is calculated. One theory suggests that the level of an item is calculated using formulas that determine the worth of an item's stats actually are. It considers the fact that different perks have different values and gems in sockets increase the overall value of the item. This could result in a calculated item's ilvl that is often very close to Blizzards actual item level.

However, this isn't the only factor that affects an item's ilvl, since the level of the region the item is dropped into can change the value of its stats, such as by adding an additional level to its haste rating or crit rating. This means that items dropped at higher levels will have higher value than items dropped in lower-level instances.

Item Stats

Item stats are a big part of what makes or breaks an item for players. The game uses a variety of them in a variety of ways to encourage players to play with multiple weapons, and prevent one weapon from being "the Best item upgrader." The stat mods of weapons boost base stats. These stat mods are then increased by a player's skill.

Upgrades to an item can boost its stats. The upgrade costs are determined by the rarity of the item. A grey or white item for instance, can only be upgraded one time, while an item that has rare tiers can be upgraded multiple times with more expensive costs.

Another method to alter the stats on an item is to use affixes. They are stat boosters that can be added by the player to an item. Affixes are used to give items additional damage or special capabilities (such as revitalizing dead or reducing cooling downs) or to distinguish them by putting a name on them.

All affixes can be re-rolled at the moment by selecting them in the upgrade window and pressing the green button. This process will cost the player a specific amount of gold and items which can be used to add to the upgrade gauge in the same way as other options for rerolling.

Players can upgrade items an item with specific stats, or reroll affixes. The range of stats is determined by the item's level. However each item will have at least one stat within the same range, unless it's a unique item, or the item is a God Roll from a boss in a raid.

Another thing that could change is the possibility to upgrade equipment without having to reroll the attaches, or select which stats to enhance. Like base equipment, it will have to be done per item, and the interface for item comparison wouldn't display all possible stats simultaneously.

Item Luck

The Luck stat of a player increases the likelihood of locating items as well as the properties generated by loot, and the strength of these properties. It doesn't, however directly affect damage or the ability to upgrade items. It merely gives players the chance to acquire better equipment earlier in the game and is therefore more beneficial in the early game than later ones since most players prefer higher weapon scaling and defenses over damage gains.

In addition to influencing the discovery of items, Luck also increases the chance of success when upgrading items with the Blacksmith. This isn't to be confused with the Blacksmith's overall chance of upgrading that increase with each item level. These can also be increased with the use of anti-materials like a Scroll of Strength and a Jewel of Blessing.

Armor, shields, and weapons have a default Luck value of 40. These items can be enhanced by using golden ingots or spined leather (depending on the material they are made of) to increase the value of 40 luck or to increase the luck of the item to 140.

Certain items, like the Hollow-infused weapon can also be crafted to increase the damage of any skill that causes damage by five percent. These items can be bought from the shop or made using the correct ingredients.

Item Failure

Not all upgrades are successful. Cash shop items can be used to increase the success rate of an upgrade or to prevent players from losing their item in the event that it does not work.

The rate of success of an upgrade is displayed in the Honing UI. The percentage indicates the probability of successfully upgrading the item. This can be increased by using Additional Materials or Special materials. There are limitations on the extent to which the success rates can be improved and the probability of a failed upgrade cannot be greater than 100%..

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

Note that upgrades to items are rendered above the items in the inventory which means that enchantment glints and other effects can be masked by them. 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.
