World of Warcraft Item Upgrades Upgrades to items are a method to increase the stats of an item Based on the type of upgrade you choose it may increase the rarity of an item or mark Level and boost additional stats Upgrading equipment in The War Within requires a certain number of Flightstones and Crests Each item comes with an upgrade track Each upgrade increases the cost of the following one by a set amount Item Level The value of an items stats base increases when it is upgraded This is the sum of an items upgraded perks attack magic attack and defense The cost of upgrading items can be high dependent on the upgrader and the kind of upgrade you decide to perform This is due to the fact that many perks have to be replaced to allow the item to be upgraded The level of an item is a popular measurement of power and is visible on all tooltips for items It also serves to limit the amount of PvP gear players can wear since PvP is not available at lower levels item upgrades of the item can be found on the character sheet When deciding to purchase or sell gear players can evaluate the level of an item Its an excellent indicator of an items quality and the amount of damage it will be capable of causing Comparing items in the inventory of a vendor can be done using the level of the item The item level can be checked by pressing the ALT key on PC or using the left stick L3 on XB1 and PS4 The item will be displayed with its full description including ilvl It can also be located by hovering an item with the mouse cursor and typing itemlevel into chat There are various theories about how the calculation of an items level is carried out One theory is that the item level is a number that comes from a formula that calculates how much an items stats are worth It takes into account the fact that various perks have different value and sockets have gems that increase the value of the item overall This could result in an items ilvl calculated which is usually very close to Blizzards real level of the item However this is not the only factor which affects an items ilvl since the level of the region the item dropped in can change the value of its stats such as by adding an additional level to its haste rating or crit rating Items dropped in higherlevel instances will have a higher ilvl Item Stats Item stats are a big component of what makes or breaks an item for players The game uses them in many ways to encourage players to not limit themselves to a single weapon and to encourage them to try out other weapons The stat modifications of an weapon increase the base stats These stat mods are then enhanced by a players level Upgrades to an item can boost its stats The upgrade costs are determined by the rarity of the item For instance a gray or white item will only be upgraded once whereas an item with the rare tiers will be upgraded several times at higher costs Affixes are another way to change an items stats They are stat boosters that can be added by the player to an item The affixes can provide the item extra damage or add a unique ability to the item such as reviving the dead or reducing the duration of cooldowns or make the item unique by adding an additional name to the item All affixes are currently rerolled by selecting them in the upgrade menu pressing the green button This will cost a specific amount in gold and items They can also be used as upgrade gauges just like the other methods of rerolling In addition to rerolling affixes players can select which of the available stats to be kept on an item after it is upgraded The stat ranges are determined by the items level However every item will have at least one stat within the same range unless its a unique item or the item is a God Roll from a raid boss This is another thing that can be modified by adding the option to upgrade the equipment without rolling the affixes or choosing which stats to boost However as with the base equipment this would have to be performed on a peritem level and the interface for comparing items will not show all the stats that could be either lost or gained at the same time Item Luck A players Luck stat stacks up to increase the chances of finding items and the properties that are spawned from loot drops and the intensity of those properties However it does not directly affect damage or the ability to upgrade item s It gives players a chance to upgrade their gear in earlier waves and is thus more valuable in the early game than later ones since most players prefer more powerful weapon scaling and defenses over the raw damage gain In addition to influencing the discovery of items Luck also increases the chances of being successful when upgrading items using the Blacksmith This is not to be confused with the Blacksmiths overall upgrade chance that increases with each level of the item and can be further increased by using an antimaterial such as a Scroll of Strength or a Jewel of Blessing The shields armor and weapons have an initial Luck value of 40 These items can then be enhanced by golden ingots spined leather or oak boards depending on the items material type to grant a further 40 Luck or to increase the existing Luck of an item up to 140 Additionally certain items like the Hollow weapon that is infused with hollow can be used to boost the damage of any damagedealing skill by 5 These items can be purchased in the shop or they can be made using the correct ingredients Item Failure Upgrades to items are costly and not all upgrades will be successful However there are cash shop items that allow players to boost their chance of success or stop them from losing an item in the event that the upgrade is unsuccessful When you upgrade an item the success rate is displayed in the Honing UI The percentage is the probability of successfully upgrading the item This can be increased by using Additional Materials or Special Materials The chance of success can only be increased by so much and the chance that an upgrade will fail cannot be greater than 100 The luck of an item may influence the success of an upgrade Every item has an initial success rate of 25 and each item with Luck increases that chance by an additional five percent The item upgrade overlays are rendered above items in the inventory This can cause obscurity to enchantment effects or other effects If you wish to disable the upgrade overlays the config option decorationrenderUpgradeOverlays can be set to False in the Item Upgrader CORE client config
