15 Presents For The Item Upgrade Lover In Your Life

WoW Upgrades - The item upgrade Upgrader

Upgrades will give you a boost to specific stats. Each upgrade boosts the level of the item by +3. Each upgrade also increases a random substat.

Upgraded gear is generally more useful, unless the item has low requirements by nature (like FB sorc shields) or has a high variance in stats (like Eth Titan weapons). The latter see less value from upgrading due to the necessity to roll for a perfect model.

Recycle Points

The item upgrader allows players to upgrade their gear by giving the currency to an NPC. Upgrades can be applied to any kind of weapon or armor. The item used to upgrade the item is discarded and cannot be used again. Upgrades can also be applied to enchantments.

The upgrader is located in all major cities and can be visited anytime to upgrade your gear. To keep your gear current, it is recommended that you visit the upgrader each several weeks.

Upgrades will cost more, based on the item level, however, they are always cheaper than buying new equipment. Upgrades such as upgrading a Benthic chest to ilvl385 will cost you 20 recycle points. A similar item upgrading will cost you 105.

Valorstones

Upgrades are items which can be used to improve the quality of weapons tools, armor, and other items. They can be purchased by players from NPCs who sell upgrades for items in exchange for a variety of currencies, and may also be found in random treasure lists. Once an upgrade is purchased it can be used on any weapon or tool with the help of The button will display the item's next upgrade level, when there are enough materials.

The cost of upgrading varies based on the Item level upgrade slot, and the current level of the item. For example, weapons will cost more than gloves, bracers or bracers. Each step costs 15 Flightstones and a number of crests, with certain upgrades having a discount to reduce the cost of the Flightstones or crests used. After an item has been upgraded to a certain amount, it can be downgraded and sold to the upgrader for a lower price.

A lot of locations offer upgraders for items, including the main Island and a few outposts. The NPCs provide an upgrade discount and a chance to acquire a new upgrade recipe. The discount on upgrades increases according to the number of items that are being upgraded, and can be boosted by having players complete some specific achievements or quests.

Icewind Dale does not have an upgrader for items at the beginning unlike Cromwell from Baldur's gate II. The NPCs who are able to facilitate upgrades are only available through a variety of methods. This is both a positive and an issue.

In Season 3 the upgrade system has been altered a bit, with several new features added. When a player has an upgrade to a particular item level for a particular armor slot, upgrading other items to that same item level will cost less even in the event that they are part of another set of gear.

The amount of Valorstones needed for upgrades is decreased, and the discount is available across all accounts. The amount of Harbinger Crests needed to upgrade is reduced also, but is only available when certain milestones are reached.

Crests

Players have a number of options for upgrading their gear in WoW. Flightstones are an item that is available to all players for upgrading. Crests are more specific and are utilized during specific item level upgrades. Crests are an important element of the Dragonflight Gear Progression System that was introduced in version 10.1. They are available in four ranks.

The first thing to remember is that crests are only able to be used to purchase equipment of a particular rank, and that each rank has different requirements for its upgrade path. The simplest and simplest upgrade process costs just 15 crests while the most complicated requires as many as 20 crests, based on the type of equipment that is being upgraded.

Players can earn crests by completing content of the appropriate level, whether that means walking around and doing outdoor activities to get lower-tier gear, dungeons or raids of all difficulty for items of higher tier or Mythic+ heroic raid bosses or dungeons for gear that is used in the endgame. The crests can then be exchanged with an upgrader for the item, such as Cuzolth or Vaskarn in Valdrakken to upgrade the item in the proper steps and paths.

The new currency system isn't complicated to use, but it does bring some modifications to the upgrade process. For instance, once an item is at the highest upgrade level of any rank (Explorer, Adventurer, Veteran, Champion, Hero, or Mythic), it won't need Flightstones to be upgraded. This allows players to upgrade item their gear to the highest possible ilvl on all of their characters, instead of relying on seasonal loot.

It's also important to use crests with care, since they are only used for one purpose. For instance, it's a good idea to use all of your Whelpling-rank crests on the Best item upgrade equipment you have, and then save Drake and Wyrm crests for the next batch of upgrades you're planning to make. This is particularly applicable to rings and trinkets that take up multiple slots on the character, which can only be eligible to benefit from the account-wide discount when all slots are filled with high-quality equipment.
