World of Warcraft Item Upgrades Item upgrades can be used to increase the stats of a particular item. Depending on the type of upgrade you choose, it may increase the rarity of an item, or its Mark Level and boost additional stats. Upgrading gear in The War Within requires a set number of Flightstones and Crests and each item has an upgrade track. item upgrades increases the cost of the next item by a specific amount. Item Level When an item gets upgraded, its stats are increased 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 the sheer number of perks that must be changed in order to upgrade an item. The level of an item is a widely used measure of power, and can be seen on all item tooltips. It also serves to limit how much PvP gear players can wear, since PvP is limited at a lower level. The average item level can be found in the character sheet. When deciding whether to buy or sell gear players can look at the level of an item. It's an excellent indicator of an item's quality and the amount of damage it will be capable of dealing with. Comparing items in a vendor's stock is possible using the level of the item. On PC, you are able to view the item level using ALT, or by using the left stick on XB1 or PS4. This will display the complete item description, including its ilvl. It can also be found by hovering an item with the mouse cursor and typing /itemlevel in chat. There are many theories about how the item level is determined. One theory states that the item level is calculated by formulas that determine the worth of an item's stats actually are. It takes into account the fact that different perks have different values and gems in sockets increase the value of the item overall. This could result in an item's ilvl which is calculated and is typically very close to Blizzard's actual item level. This isn't the only factor that affects the ilvl of an item. The location of where the item was dropped can alter its stats. For example, it could add a level to the item's haste or crit score. Items dropped in higher-level instances will have a higher ilvl. Item Stats Item stats can make or break an item for players. The game uses a variety of them in a variety of ways to encourage players to play with multiple weapons, and also to stop one weapon from being “the best.” The base stats of a weapon are increased by the weapon's stat modification, which are themselves enhanced by the player's level. The upgrades to items add by boosting certain stats on the item. The rarity of an item determines the cost of upgrading. For item upgrade , a grey or white item can only be upgraded once, while an item with rare levels will be upgraded multiple times with higher prices. Another way to change the stats on an item is by affixing it. These are special stat boosts that can be added to an item by the player, and they come in all shapes and sizes. The affixes can be used to give items extra damage, special abilities (such as the ability to revive dead or reduce cooling downs), or to differentiate them by adding a name. Currently, all affixes can be modified by selecting them in the upgrade window and pressing the green button, which is accompanied by circles arrows. This will cost a certain amount of gold and other items. These can be used as upgrade gauges similar to other rerolling methods. Players can upgrade an item with a specific stat or reroll the affixes. The possible stat ranges for an item are based on the level of the item, however every item is guaranteed to have at minimum one stat within the range, unless it is an exclusive item or an item that is a God roll from a boss of a raid. Another thing that can be modified by introducing an option to upgrade the equipment without rerolling the affixes, or selecting which stats to increase. However, as with the base equipment, this would need to be performed on a per-item basis and the interface for comparing items would not display all the possible stats either lost or gained at the same time. Item Luck A player's Luck stat stacks up to increase the chances of finding items, the properties spawned on loot drops and the strength of these properties. It doesn't, however, directly affect damage or the ability to upgrade items. It gives players the chance to upgrade their gear in earlier waves, and is therefore more useful in the initial game run than later ones since most players prefer greater weapon scaling and defense over damage gains. In addition to influencing the discovery of items, Luck also increases the chance of being successful when upgrading items using the Blacksmith. item upgrading is not to be confused with the Blacksmith's overall upgrade probability, which increases with each item level and can be further increased by using an anti-material, such as a Scroll of Strength or a Jewel of Blessing. The shields, armor and weapons have a default Luck value of 40. These items can be improved with golden ingots, or spined leather (depending on their material type) to increase the value of 40 luck or to increase the Luck of an item up to 140. Moreover there are certain items, like the Hollow weapon, which is infused with Hollow can be used to boost the damage of any damage-dealing skill by five percent. These items are available in the shops or made using the right ingredients. Item Failure Not all upgrades work. However, there are some cash shop items that allow players to boost their success rate or prevent them from losing an item in the event that the upgrade fails. When you upgrade an item the success rate is shown in the Honing UI. The percentage indicates the probability of successfully upgrading an item. This can be increased with Additional Materials or Special Materials. The probability of success can only be increased as much, and the likelihood that the upgrade will fail cannot exceed 100%. The performance of an can be affected by the Luck of that item. Each item has an initial success rate of 25% and every item that has Luck increases the chance of success by 5%. The upgrade overlays of the item are rendered above items in the inventory. This may 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.
