World of Warcraft Item Upgrades

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

Each item has a track for upgrading it. Each upgrade increases the cost of the following one by a certain amount.

Item Level

When an item gets upgraded, its base stats are increased in value. This value is the total of all the upgraded advantages (attack, magic attack and defense). Upgrades can be costly, dependent on who you employ and what you decide to do. This is because of how many perks have to be replaced to allow the item to be upgraded.

It is also used as a gating requirement while waiting for dungeons, raids and scenarios. It also serves as a gating requirement while waiting for dungeons, raids and scenarios, and to limit the amount of PvP gear that a player can wear (since PvP is capped at the lower levels). The average level of an item is listed on the character sheet.

When deciding whether to buy or sell gear players can look at the levels of the item. It's a measure of the item's condition and quality. The level of the item can be used to evaluate items when evaluating the inventory of a vendor.

The level of the item can be checked by pressing the ALT key on your PC or using the left stick (L3) on XB1 and PS4. This will display the full item description, including its value. You can also find it by hovering over an item and typing /itemlevel in chat.

There are a few theories on how the item level calculation is done. One theory is that the item level is a number that comes from a formula which calculates the amount an item's stats are worth. It considers the fact that different perks have different values and gems in sockets add to the overall value of the item. This can result in an item's ilvl calculated, which is typically very close to Blizzard's actual level of the item.

It's not the only factor that affects the value of an item. The degree of the area in which the Best item upgrade was dropped may change its stats. For example it can add a level to the item's haste or crit rating. This means that items dropped at higher levels will have higher value than items dropped in lower-level instances.

Item Stats

Stats on an item are a significant part of what determines the value of an item for players. The game utilizes them in a variety of ways to encourage players to not limit themselves to a single weapon and to motivate them to try out other weapons. The stats of a base weapon are boosted by the weapon's stat mods which are then enhanced by the player's level.

Upgrades to an item can increase its stats. The costs for upgrades are determined by the rarity of the item. A white or grey item for instance, will only be upgraded once, while an item with rare tiers can be upgraded multiple times with more expensive costs.

Affixes are a different method to change an item's stats. They are stat boosts which can be added by the player to an item. The affixes are used to give items additional damage, special abilities (such as revitalizing dead or reducing cooling downs), or to distinguish them by naming them.

Presently, all affixes are able to be modified by selecting them in the upgrade window and pressing the green button using circles arrows. This will cost a specific amount in gold and items. These can be used as upgrade gauges, just like the other rerolling methods.

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

This is another aspect that could be altered by adding the option to upgrade the equipment without rolling the affixes or choosing which stats to enhance. But, like base equipment, this would need to be performed on a per-item level, and the interface for comparing items would not display all the possible stats that were gained or lost at the same time.

Item Luck

The Luck stat of a player can increase the chance of finding items and the properties that are created by loot and the strength of these properties. It doesn't, however directly affect damage or the ability to upgrade items. It gives the player a chance to upgrade their equipment in earlier waves and is thus more useful in early game runs than later ones because most players value higher weapon scaling and defenses over raw damage gains.

Luck can also increase the chances of upgrading items at the Blacksmith. This isn't to be confused with the Blacksmith's overall chance of upgrading, which increase with each level of the item. They can also be increased with the use of anti-materials, such as a Scroll of Strength and a Jewel of Blessing.

The shields, armor and weapons come with an initial Luck value of 40. These items can be upgraded with golden ingots, spined leather, or oak boards (depending on the item's material type) to give +40 Luck or to boost the existing Luck of an item, up to 140.

Furthermore some items, such as the Hollow weapon that is infused with hollow can be outfitted to boost the damage of any damage-dealing skill by 5percent. These items are available in the shop or created with the right ingredients.

Item Failure

Not all upgrades work. However, there are cash shop items that allow players to increase their success rate or prevent them from losing an item if the upgrade fails.

The rate of success of an upgrade is displayed in the Honing UI. The percentage is the probability of successful upgrading an item. This can be increased by using Additional Materials or Special Materials. The probability of success can only be increased so much, and the likelihood that an upgrade will fail can't exceed 100%.

The Luck of an item can influence the success of an Upgrade Item. Every item has an average success rate of 25%, and every item with Luck increases this chance by 5%.

It is important to note that upgrade item items are rendered above the items in the inventory which means that enchantment glints and other effects could 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.
