9 Lessons Your Parents Taught You About Item Upgrader

World of Warcraft Item Upgrades

Item upgrades are a way to boost the stats of an item. Depending on the upgrade type it can raise an item's Mark level or Rarity, and also boost other stats.

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

Item Level

When an item gets upgraded, its basic stats increase in value. This is the sum of an item's leveled-up perks (attack magic attack and defense). Upgrades can be expensive depending on the person you hire and what you decide to do. This is due to how many perks must be replaced to allow the item to be upgraded.

Item level is a popular measurement of power and is visible on all tooltips for items. It is also used as a gating requirement while waiting to queue for dungeons and scenarios, and raids, as well as to limit the amount of PvP gear players can wear (since PvP is limited to an lower level). The average item level can be found in the character sheet.

When deciding whether to buy or sell gear players can evaluate the item level. It's an indicator of the item's condition and quality. Comparing items from the inventory of a seller can be done by using the item's level.

The level of the item can be viewed by pressing the ALT key on your PC or using the left stick (L3) on XB1 and PS4. This will show the item's full description, including ilvl. It can also be located by hovering over an item upgrader mod with the mouse cursor and entering /itemlevel into chat.

There are various theories on how the calculation of an item's level is done. One theory is that the level is a number that comes from a formula that determines how much an item's stats are worth. It takes into account the fact that different perks have different worth and gems in sockets increase the item's overall value. This could result in an item's ilvl which is calculated and is usually very close to Blizzard's real item level.

However, this is not the only factor which can affect an item's ilvl because the level of the area the item is dropped into can change the value of its stats, such as by adding an amount to its haste or crit rating. Items dropped in higher-level instances will have higher ilvl.

Item Stats

item upgrading stats are a big component of what determines the value of an item for players. The game uses them in a variety of ways to encourage players to not limit themselves to a single weapon, and to encourage players to experiment with other weapons. The stat mods on weapons boost base stats. These stat mods are then enhanced by a player's level.

The upgrades to an item can increase the stats of an item. The costs for upgrades are determined by the rarity of the item. A grey or white item, for example, will only be upgraded one time, while an item with rare tiers may be upgraded multiple times at higher costs.

Another method to alter the stats on an item is to use affixes. They are stat boosts that can be added by the player to an item. The affixes can be used to give items additional damage, special capabilities (such as the ability to revive dead or reduce cooling downs), or to differentiate them by putting a name on them.

All affixes are currently re-rolled by selecting them in the upgrade window 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 manner as the other options for rerolling.

Players can choose to upgrade an item to specific stats or reroll affixes. The range of stats determined by the item's level. However every item will contain at least one stat within the range, unless they are an exclusive item, or an item that has a God Roll from a boss in a raid.

Another thing that could be changed is the option to upgrade equipment without having to roll the attachments, or pick which stats to enhance. However, as with the base equipment, this would need to be performed on a per-item upgrader basis, and the interface for item comparison will not show all the stats that could be either lost or gained at the same time.

Item Luck

The Luck stat for a player adds up to increase the chances of item discoveries, the properties spawned on loot drops and the intensity of the properties. However, it doesn't directly affect damage or the ability to upgrade items. It gives players an opportunity to get better equipment earlier in the game. This is more advantageous in the early game, since players tend to prioritize defenses and weapon scaling over raw damage gains.

In addition to influencing the discovery of items, Luck also increases the chances of success when upgrading items with the Blacksmith. This is not to confuse with the Blacksmith’s overall upgrade chances that increase with each new level of item. They can also be increased with the use of anti-materials, such as a Scroll of Strength and a Jewel of Blessing.

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

Certain items, like the weapon that is infused with hollow can also be crafted to increase the damage of any skill that is able to deal damage by 5percent. These items are available in the shops or made using the right ingredients.

Item Failure

Not all upgrades are successful. However, there are some cash shop items that allow players to increase their chances of success or even prevent them from losing an item if the upgrade is unsuccessful.

The success rate of an upgrade can be seen in the Honing UI. The percentage represents the chance of successfully upgrading the item, and can be enhanced by adding Additional Materials or Special Materials. There are limitations to the extent to which the success rates can be improved and the chance of an upgrade failing cannot be greater than 100%..

The Luck of an item can also affect the effectiveness of an upgrade. All items have an initial success rate of 25% and each item with Luck increases that chance by an additional 5%.

The upgrade overlays for items are rendered above items in the inventory. This can block enchantment effects as well as other effects. 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.
