World of Warcraft Item Upgrades

Item upgrades are a way to increase the stats of an item. Based on the type of upgrade it could increase an item's Mark Level or Rarity, as well as boost other stats.

Upgrading equipment in The War Within requires a specified number of Flightstones and Crests Each item has an upgrade track. Each upgrade increases the cost of the following one by a specific amount.

Item Level

The value of an item's basic stats increase when it is upgraded. This is the sum of the perks that are leveled up (attack magic attack and defense). Upgrading items can be expensive, depending on the upgrader you choose and the kind of upgrade you decide to do. This is due to the variety of perks that must be altered to upgrade an item.

It can also be used as a gating requirement when waiting for dungeons, raids and scenarios. It can also be used to limit how much PvP gear players can wear as PvP is restricted at a lower level. The average level of an item is listed on the character sheet.

Utilizing the level of an item will allow players to compare the potency of gear when they decide to buy or sell. It's a sign of the item's damage and its quality. The level of an item upgrader mod can be used to compare items when looking at the inventory of a vendor.

On PC, you can view the item level by pressing ALT or using the left stick on XB1 or PS4. This will show the item's full description, including ilvl. It can also be found by hovering an item with the mouse cursor and typing /itemlevel in chat.

There are various theories about how the calculation of the item's level is made. One theory is that the item level is a numerical value derived from a formula that determines the amount an item's stats are worth. It is based on the fact that different perks are valued differently, and that gems in the sockets increase the value of the item. This could result in an item's ilvl calculated, which is typically very close to Blizzard's real level of the item.

It's not the only thing that affects the level of an item. The level of the area where the item was dropped may change its stats. For example, it could add a level to the item's haste, or crit rating. This means that items dropped at higher levels will have higher ilvl than those from lower-level instances.

item upgrade Stats

The stats of an item are a major component of what makes or breaks an item for players. The game uses a lot of them in different ways to encourage players to play with a variety of weapons, and prevent one weapon from being "the most effective." The base stats of a weapon are increased by the weapon's stat mods that are in turn enhanced by the player's level.

Item upgrades add to that by increasing certain stats of the item. The upgrade costs are determined by the rarity of the item. For example, a grey or white item can only be upgraded once, while an item with rare levels will be upgraded multiple times at higher prices.

Another way to change the stats of an item is to use affixes. These are special stat boosts that can be added to an item by the player, and they come in all shapes and sizes. The affixes can be used to give the item additional damage, or give a specific ability to the item (such as reviving dead or decreasing the cooldowns) or make the item unique by putting an exclusive name to the item.

All affixes can be currently re-rolled by selecting them in the upgrade window, pressing the green button. This will cost a specific amount of gold and other items. They can also be used as upgrade gauges, as with other methods of rerolling.

Players can choose to upgrade an item with specific stats or reroll affixes. The possible stat ranges of an item are based on the level of the item, however every item is guaranteed to have at least 1 stat within that range, unless it's a unique item or the result of a God roll from a boss in a raid.

This is another thing that could be changed by adding an option to upgrade the equipment without having to reroll the affixes or choosing which stats to boost. But as with base equipment, this would need to be carried out on a per-item basis and the item compare interface would not display all the possible stats either lost or gained at the same time.

Item Luck

The Luck stat of a player boosts the chance of finding items and the properties that are created by loot and the intensity of these properties. It doesn't, however directly impact damage or the ability to upgrade items. It gives the player the chance to upgrade their gear earlier in the game. This is particularly advantageous in the early game, because players tend to put the scaling of weapons and defenses over raw damage gains.

Luck can also increase the likelihood of upgrading items at the Blacksmith. This is not to be confused with the Blacksmith’s overall chances of upgrading that increase with each item level. These can also be increased by using anti-materials such as the Scroll of Strength and a Jewel of Blessing.

Armor, shields and weapons have a default Luck value of 40. These items can then be enhanced with golden ingots, spined leather or upgrade items oak boards (depending on the type of material used) to give +40 Luck or to increase the Luck of an item, up to 140.

Certain items, such as the Hollow-infused weapon, can also be equipped to increase the damage dealt by any skill that is able to deal damage by five percent. These items can be found in the shops or made by using the appropriate ingredients.

Item Failure

Upgrades to items are a costly process and not every upgrade will be successful. However, there are some cash shop items which allow players to increase their success rate or prevent them from losing an item in the event that the upgrade fails.

When you upgrade an item the rate of success is displayed in the Honing UI. The percentage represents the probability of successfully upgrading that item and can be enhanced by adding Additional Materials or Special Materials. The chance of success can only be increased so high, and the probability that an upgrade will fail can't exceed 100%..

The Luck of an item can influence the effectiveness of an upgrade. Every item upgrade has a success rate of 25 percent and each item that has Luck increases this chance by 5percent.

It is important to note that upgrade items are rendered above the inventory items which means that enchantment glints and other effects can be obstructed by them. If you wish to disable the upgrade item overlays, the config option decoration.renderUpgradeOverlays can be set to False in the Item Upgrader CORE client config.
