World of Warcraft - Item Upgrade
The upgrade feature for items allows players to increase the item level for weapons that can be equipped or armor. This boosts the stats of the item and may also include buffs or rerolls on an attach.
It is important to keep in mind that upgrading your magic and common gear is not always worth the cost. Rare and Unique gear will quickly outclass upgraded magic and common gear.
Cost
When a player decides to upgrade an item, they must spend Gold to upgrade the item. The cost of upgrading an item is contingent on its current level as well as the upgrade type chosen. For instance upgrading a weapon is typically be cheaper than upgrading armor, since weapons have lower level requirements. The amount of Gold needed increases as an item is upgraded.
A new item will also come with increased stats, which can boost its performance in a variety of ways. This could include boosting its attack power or critical strike chance. A upgraded item can also give additional bonuses to the weapon it is equipped with. These upgrades can be used for a variety of reasons such as to increase the overall power of an individual or group unit. They also can affect the overall gameplay.
Items can be upgraded at any NPC that is an upgrader in the game. Generally NPCs can be found in major cities or questing spots. You can also find item-upgraders in dungeons that feature high-level bosses. You can also talk to NPCs in garrisons of your faction.
The item upgrade system in World of Warcraft provides players with the option of upgrading the level of weapons, armor, and trinkets. This process is very similar to the process of reforging gear in Mists of Pandaria and Warlords of Draenor, but instead of using the currency appropriate to the task, players must visit an NPC to upgrade their items to complete the process.
Item upgrades can be costly, particularly when it concerns armor and weapons. Depending on which upgrade track you select, each item upgrade can cost Crests or Valorstones. The cost are prohibitive for those who don't have the money, or are unwilling to grind.
Fortunately the game allows players to play a reroll of an upgraded item by using an exclusive tool within the menu of items. This option lets you exchange the upgraded item with the level 1 version of it which comes with a different set of bonus effects. This is useful to gain better results on items that have already been upgraded. However, it could also be a waste.
Requirements
Upgrading is the process of increasing the level of the items that are equippable like armor, weapons and trinkets. This improves their power and makes them more effective in combat. Players can upgrade their gear by spending the appropriate currency at an upgrader. Players should be aware the fact that some upgrades require specific requirements.
Early upgrades only increase the stats of the item's base level. Later upgrades provide more significant boosts. Upgrades from level 3 to 6 will boost the weapon's damage plus two levels. A bonus stat will also be added to the upgraded item based on its level. The bonus consists of a substat that is guaranteed and an undetermined stat that can vary from upgrade to upgrade.
A player can roll an upgraded item using a Reroll Token to exchange the upgrade for a brand new one. The new item will feature a different set of extra bonuses as well as a lower base item level. The rerolled item will also have different requirements for strength and dexterity. It is important to know that the item rerolled won't be able to keep its original strength or have any wasted resources.
Rerolling some upgraded items is only possible if the item that was upgraded was an Epic Rare, Rare, or Unique. Some exceptional items can also be eligible for rerolling, but their original stats will be replaced with an uninvolved bonus. This means that rerolling a Rare item will result in a Normal version the same kind, while rolling an Epic item will result in an elite version of the same kind.
A newly upgraded item could come with additional modifiers, which can further increase its stats and enhance its performance. These additional modifiers are not included in the upgrade price. They can be obtained through questing, buying them on the Trading Post or from other players. They can be earned through doing specific missions within the game.
To upgrade an item of equipment it is necessary to visit the NPC [Armor] Boboko in Central Flarine. Based on the type of item, you will require one or more Power Dices (Dice 6 is droppable from monsters 21+ and Giants; Dice 12 can be obtained from Bosses). You will also need various amounts of Minerals and Erons.
Time
Items upgrades can be used to boost the power of your equipment and ship without the need to level them. They're not cheap, but they can be a great method to boost your stats without having to spend a lot of time in battle. It's crucial to know the benefits and costs prior to investing your money or time.
Each upgrade boosts the stats of the item's base by to a certain extent and also gives a chance to get a bonus substat. The random substat may be anything from a minor boost to a much larger boost. Focus on the items that work best in the slot first. They will bring more profit for your investment.
You can see the amount of time needed to complete an upgrade when you open your inventory and choose the weapon, ship or other accessory. The upgrade window will show the expected completion time and progress. In some cases you may be in a position to speed up the upgrade by applying a Glyph.
It is also possible to retrieve some or all of the upgrade components from an item using a specific high-end salvage kit sold by Black Lion Salvage and Ascended Salvage. However, this does not include legendary equipment or upgrades, which can only be retrieved using an Upgrade Extractor or by returning them to the appropriate merchant of karma.
Take advantage of the benefits
Item upgrading rewards players with a variety of items and currency. Each upgrade also has the chance of granting an random stat bonus. The amount of bonus varies between upgrades, and is usually higher for rare items. Players can use a Great Vault search to see whether an item can be upgraded prior to spending tickets. The search can also help determine whether the item is of an appropriate tier and whether the player would benefit from a particular upgrade.
During the process of upgrading an
item upgrading will gradually increase to its next level but won't always reach a full upgrade bar. This process makes use of Growthstones and Sollant however there is a chance of achieving a fully upgraded item after just one cycle. The higher the levels an item is upgraded the more stats will be and the more items that can be upgraded.
Upgrade components can be integrated into armor, weapons and trinkets in order to give an attribute benefit or an additional effect when the equipment is in use. Certain upgrade components come with cosmetic effects. Upgrade components can be acquired by crafting, buying from vendors or the Trading Post, looting or receiving them as gifts. Additionally, players can recover upgraded items using an Upgrade Extractor or by salvaging them with a high-tier salvage kit. Glyphs that are positioned on gathering tools can be swapped freely.
By selecting the item and pressing the green button, which has a rerolling arrow players can reroll it into another upgradeable item. This alters the layout of the item's window and allow players to select up to six items to "recycle". The
item level upgrade that is recycled will be exchanged for an item of level 1 similar to it. Recycled items will not keep their status or the amount of resources used to upgrade them.
An item's maximum upgrade level is determined by its quality and tier. Rare items can be upgraded to a maximum of level six, while Rare and Epic items can be upgraded to level nine. The upgrades to an item are added to the base statistics of the item and will no longer increase after a certain point.
