13 Things About Item Upgrader You May Not Have Known

World of Warcraft Item Upgrades

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

Each item comes with a track for upgrading it. Each upgrade increases the price of the next item by a specified amount.

Item Level

When an item gets upgraded, its base stats are increased in value. The value is the sum of all the leveled up benefits (attack magic attack, attack defense). Upgrading items can be expensive dependent on the upgrader and the kind of upgrade you decide to perform. This is due to the fact that many perks need to be replaced to allow the item to get upgraded.

The level of an item level upgrade is a commonly used measure of power, and is visible on all tooltips for items. It can also be used to limit how much PvP gear players can use since PvP is not available at lower levels. Players can see their average level of item on their character sheet.

When deciding whether to buy or sell equipment, players can compare the levels of the item. It's a useful indicator of an item's quality and the amount of damage it is capable of causing. The item level can also be used to compare items when evaluating the inventory of a seller.

On your PC, you can view the item level by pressing ALT or using the left stick on XB1 or PS4. This will display the item's full description, including the ilvl. It can also be located by hovering over an item using the mouse cursor, and then typing /itemlevel in chat.

There are various theories on how the item level calculation is made. One theory states that the item level is calculated by a formula that calculates the worth of an item's stats actually are. It takes into consideration that different benefits are valued differently and that gems in sockets increase the item upgrade's value. This could result in an item's ilvl calculated, which is usually very close to Blizzard's real level of the item.

It's not the only factor that influences the value of an item. The degree of the area in which the item was dropped can alter its stats. For example it can increase the item's haste or crit score. This means that items that drop at higher levels will have higher value than items dropped in lower-level instances.

Item Stats

The stats of an item are a major part of what determines the value of an item for players. The game uses a lot of them in different ways to encourage players to use multiple weapons, and prevent one weapon from being "the best." The stat mods on weapons boost base stats. These stat mods are then increased by the player's level.

Upgrades to an item can increase its stats. The cost of upgrades is determined by the rarity of the item. For instance, a gray or white item can only be upgraded once, whereas items with rare levels will be upgraded multiple times at higher prices.

Affixes can also be used to alter the stats of an item. These are special stat boosts that can be added to an item upgrader kit by the player and they come in all sizes and shapes. The affixes can be used to provide items with extra damage or other special capabilities (such as the ability to revive dead or reduce cooling downs), or to distinguish them by adding a name.

All affixes are re-rolled at the moment by selecting them in the upgrade menu pressing the green button. This process will cost the player a certain amount of gold and other items which can be used to add to the upgrade gauge in the same manner as other options for rerolling.

Players can upgrade an item to a specific stat or reroll the affixes. The possible stat ranges for an item are based on the item level, but all items are guaranteed to have at minimum one stat within that range, unless it is an exclusive item or a God roll from a raid boss.

Another thing that could change is the possibility of upgrading equipment without having to roll the attachments, or pick which stats to boost. Like the base equipment, it must be done per item, and the item comparison interface will not show all possible stats simultaneously.

Item Luck

The Luck stat of a player increases the chance of finding items, the properties that are spawned by loot and the intensity of these properties. It does not, however directly affect damage or the ability to upgrade items. It gives players the chance to upgrade their gear in earlier waves and is thus more beneficial in the early game than later ones since most players prefer higher weapon scaling and defenses over raw damage gains.

In addition to influencing item discovery, Luck also increases the probability of success when upgrading items with the Blacksmith. This should not be confused with the Blacksmith's overall chance of upgrading, which increases with each level and can be further increased through the use of an anti-material such as a Scroll of Strength or a Jewel of Blessing.

Armor, shields and weapons can be made or spawn by using the Luck property, with a default value of 40. These items can be upgraded with golden ingots, spined leather, or oak boards (depending on the type of material used) to grant an additional +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 outfitted to increase the damage dealt by any skill that is able to deal damage by five percent. These items are available in the shops or made using the right ingredients.

Item Failure

Upgrades to items are expensive and not all upgrades will be successful. However, there are cash shop items that allow players to boost their success rate or prevent them from losing an item if the upgrade is unsuccessful.

When you upgrade an item the success rate is displayed in the Honing UI. The percentage is the chances of completing the upgrade successfully and can be enhanced by adding Additional Materials or Special Materials. The percentage of success can only be increased by so high, and the probability that the upgrade will fail cannot exceed 100%.

The Luck of an item may affect the effectiveness of an upgrade. Each 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 items (google.At) are rendered above the items in the inventory which means that enchantment glints and other effects could be obstructed by the overlays. If you wish to disable the upgrade overlays, the config option decoration.renderUpgradeOverlays can be set to False in the item upgrade Upgrader CORE client config.
