The 10 Scariest Things About Item Upgrader World of Warcraft Item Upgrades

Upgrades to an item are a way to increase the stats of an item. Depending on item upgrading of upgrade, it can increase the rarity of an item or mark Level, and also boost other stats.

Upgrades to gear in The War Within requires a specified number of Flightstones and Crests and each item comes with an upgrade track. Each upgrade increases the cost of the next item by a specified amount.

Item Level

The value of an item's base stats increases when it is upgraded. This value is the sum of an item's upgraded perks (attack magic attack and defense). Upgrades can be costly, depending on the person you hire and what you do. This is due to the number of perks that must be altered to upgrade an item.

The level of an item is a popular measure of power, and can be seen on all tooltips of items. It can also be used to limit how much PvP gear players can wear, since PvP is limited at a lower level. The average item level can be found on the character sheet.

When deciding whether to buy or sell gear, players can compare the level of an item. It's a sign of the item's condition and its quality. The level of the item can be used to compare items when evaluating the inventory of a vendor.

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

There are several theories on how the calculation of an item's level is carried out. One theory states that the level of an item is calculated using an equation that determines the worth of an item's stats really are. It is based on the fact that different advantages are valued differently and that gems found in sockets boost the value of the item. This process can result in a calculated value for the item's ilvl which is typically close to Blizzard's actual item level.

However, this is not the only factor that affects an item's ilvl, as the size of the area the item is dropped into can change the value of its stats, for instance by adding a level to its crit rating or haste rating. Items dropped in higher-level instances will have a higher value.

Item Stats

The stats of an item are a major part of what makes or breaks an item for players. The game makes use of a lot of them in various ways to encourage players to use multiple weapons, and prevent one weapon from being "the most effective." The stat modifications of weapons boost base stats. These stat mods are then boosted by a player's level.

The upgrades to an item can increase the stats of an item. The upgrade costs are determined by the rarity of the item. For example, a grey or white item will only be upgraded once, whereas items with rare tiers will be upgraded several times with higher prices.

Affixes are a different method to alter the stats of an item. These are special stat boosts that can be added to an item by the player and come in a variety of sizes and shapes. Affixes can be used to give the item additional damage, or give a specific ability to the item (such as reviving dead or reducing the duration of cooldowns) or make the item unique by giving an exclusive name to the item.

Currently, all affixes can be modified by selecting them in the upgrade window and pressing the green button with the arrows that circle. This will cost a certain amount of gold and other items. They can also be used as upgrade gauges, as with other rerolling methods.

Players can upgrade an item with specific stats or reroll the affixes. The possible ranges of stats for an item are determined by the level of the item, but every item is guaranteed to have at minimum one stat within the specified range, unless it is a unique item or an item that is a God roll from a boss in a raid.

This is another aspect that could be changed by adding an option to upgrade the equipment without rerolling the affixes or choosing which stats to increase. As with base equipment, it would have to be done per item, and the interface for item comparison would not display all the possible stats simultaneously.

Item Luck

The Luck stat of a player can increase the chance of finding items as well as the properties generated by loot, and the intensity of these properties. However, it does not directly affect damage or the ability to upgrade items. It simply gives players a possibility to obtain better equipment in earlier waves and is thus more beneficial in the early game than in later ones, because most players value higher weapon scaling and defenses over the raw damage gain.

Luck can also increase the chance of upgrading items at the Blacksmith. This is not to confuse with the Blacksmith’s overall chances of upgrading that increase with each level of the item. These can also be increased with the use of anti-materials such as the Scroll of Strength and a Jewel of Blessing.

Armor, shields, and weapons have a default Luck value of 40. These items can then 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 an item up to 140.

Furthermore, certain items, such as the Hollow infused weapon can be outfitted to boost the damage of any damage-dealing skill by 5%. These items can be found in the shop or crafted using the right ingredients.

Item Failure

Upgrades to items can be a costly process and not every upgrade will be successful. However, there are cash shop items that allow players to increase their chances of success or even prevent them from losing an item in the event that the upgrade is unsuccessful.

When you upgrade an item the rate of success is displayed in the Honing UI. The percentage represents the chance of successfully upgrading that 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 success of an upgrades is also influenced by the luck of that item. All items have a success rate of 25 percent, and each item with Luck increases this chance by 5%.

The item upgrade overlays are rendered above the items in the inventory. This may cause obscurity to enchantment effects or 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.
