WoW Upgrades - The Item Upgrader

Upgrades give a guaranteed boost to specific stats. Each upgrade increases the level of an item by 3. A random extra substat is also increased with every upgrade.

Upgraded gear is generally more valuable, unless it has low requirements by nature (like FB sorc shields) or a high stat variance (like the eth Titan weapons). Upgrades are not as useful for the latter due to the need to roll a perfect version.

Recycle Points

The item upgrader lets players upgrade their gear by transferring the currency to an NPC. Upgrades can be made on any type of armor or weapons. However, the item used to upgrade will be consumed forever and will not be able to be used again. Upgrades can also be applied to enchantments.

The upgrader can be found in all major cities and can be visited anytime to upgrade your equipment. It is recommended that you 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 but they will always be cheaper than buying new gear. Upgrades such as upgrading a Benthic chest up to the level of ilvl385 will cost you 20 recycle points. If you purchase a similar item, it will cost you 105.

Valorstones

Upgrades are items that can be used to purchase weapons, armor, tools, and accessory upgrades. They can be purchased by players from NPCs who sell upgrades for items in exchange for different currencies, and may also be found in random treasure lists. Once purchased, an upgrade is able to be used on any tool, weapon or armor. The button will show the preview of an item's next level of upgrade, if there are enough materials.

The cost of upgrading varies based on the item slot, and the current level of the item. For instance, weapons will cost more than gloves, bracers, or bracers. Each upgrade costs 15 Flightstones plus a set number of crests. Some upgrades give discounts on Flightstones. Once an item is upgraded to a certain level it is able to be degraded and returned to the upgrader for a lesser amount of both currencies.

Item upgraders can be found in many places, including the main island as well as some outposts. The NPCs provide both an upgrade discount as well as a chance to acquire a new upgrade recipe. The discount for upgrading increases as more items are upgraded. It can also be increased by having players complete certain achievements or quests.

Unlike Cromwell in Baldur's Gate II there is no upgrader for items available at the beginning of Icewind Dale. Instead, the NPCs that are available to help with upgrades require a variety of means that are both an improvement and a drawback.

In Season 3, several new features have been added to the upgrade system. Once  item upgrading  has been completed to a certain item level for an armor slot, upgrading other items to the same item level will cost less. This is true regardless of whether the items are from a different set of gear.

The amount of Valorstones required for upgrades is reduced, and the discount is available across all accounts. The amount of Harbinger Crests required to upgrade is also reduced and is not available until players reach certain milestones in their achievement.

Crests

When upgrading equipment in WoW, players have a variety of options. They can use Flightstones which are a common upgrade currency that is accessible to all players, or crests that are more specific and consumed during upgrades at specific item levels. Crests are an important element of the Dragonflight Gear Progression System, which was introduced in version 10.1. They are available in four ranks.

First, you must be aware that the crests can only be purchased for equipment that is that is of a particular rank. Each rank has distinct upgrade paths. The simplest and simplest upgrade process costs just 15 crests while the more complex one requires as many as 20 crests based on the kind of gear that is being upgraded.

Players can obtain crests by finishing content at the appropriate level, whether that means walking around and doing outdoor activities for gear of lower tiers, raids or dungeons with all difficulty for items of higher tier or Mythic+ heroic raid bosses and dungeons to obtain endgame gear. These crests can be exchanged with an item upgrader, such as Cuzolth or Vaskarn in Valdrakken to upgrade the item in the proper steps and routes.

The new currency system isn't difficult to use, but it does bring some changes to the upgrade process. When a piece of equipment reaches the highest level of upgrade for any rank (Explorer or Adventurer) it no longer requires Flightstones. This is to allow players to get their equipment up to the highest level possible on all their characters, instead of relying only on seasonal loot.

Another significant change is that crests have one usage, so it's important to make use of them in a responsible manner. For instance, it's a good idea use all of your Whelpling-rank crests on the top equipment you have and save Drake and Wyrm crests for the next round of upgrades you're planning to make. This is especially applicable to rings and trinkets that take up multiple slots on the character that will be able to avail the account-wide discount if all of the slots are filled with high-quality equipment.
