World of Warcraft Item Upgrades
The upgrade of an item can be used to increase the stats of an item. Depending on the type of upgrade you choose, it can boost an item's Rarity or Mark Level and increase other stats.
Each item comes with a track for upgrading it. Each upgrade increases the cost of the following one by a specific amount.
Item Level
The value of an item's stats base increase when it is upgraded. The value is the sum of the perks that are leveled up (attack magic attack and defense). Upgrades can be expensive dependent on who you employ and what you do. This is due to the variety of perks that have to be altered to upgrade an item.
The level of an item is a widely used measure of power, and is visible on all item tooltips. It is also used to limit the amount of PvP gear players can use as PvP is restricted at a lower level. Players can view their average level of items on their character sheet.
The level of an item can help players compare the power of equipment when deciding to purchase or sell. It's a measure of the item's condition and its quality. Comparing items in the inventory of a vendor can be done by using the item level.
On your PC, you can view the item level by pressing ALT or using the left stick on XB1 or PS4. This will show the item's full description, including ilvl. You can also locate it by hovering over an item and typing /itemlevel in chat.
There are several theories about the method by which the level of an item is determined. item upgrader is that the item level is a numerical value derived from a formula which calculates the value of an item's stats are worth. It takes into account the fact that different perks have different values and gems in sockets add to the value of the item overall. This can lead to an item's ilvl calculated, which is often very close to Blizzard's real level of the item.
It's not the only factor that affects the level of an item. The level of the area where the item was dropped may alter its stats. For instance, it could increase the item's haste or crit rating. Items that drop in higher-level instances will have a higher value.
Item Stats
The stats of an item are a major element in what determines the value of an item for players. The game makes use of a lot of them in a variety of ways to encourage players to use multiple weapons, and also to stop one weapon from being "the best." The stats of a base weapon are increased by the weapon's stat modification which are then increased by the player's skill.
Upgrades to an item may boost its stats. The rarity of an item determines its cost of upgrading. A grey or white item for instance, will only be upgraded once however, items with rare tiers can be upgraded multiple times with higher costs.
Affixes can also be used to change an item's stats. These are special stat boosts that can be added to an item by the player, and come in a variety of sizes and shapes. The affixes could provide the item extra damage, or give a specific capability to the item (such as reviving dead or cutting down cooldowns), or make the item unique by giving an exclusive name to the item.
All affixes are re-rolled at the moment by selecting them in the upgrade window, pressing the green button. This will cost a specific amount in gold and items. These can be used as upgrade gauges, just like the other rerolling methods.
Players can choose to upgrade an item by specific stats or reroll affixes. The range of stats determined by the item's level. However each item will contain at least one stat within the same range, unless it's an item that is unique, or the item is a God Roll from a raid boss.
Another thing that could change is the possibility of upgrading equipment without having to reroll affixes, or choose which stats to boost. Like the base equipment, this will have to be done per item and the item comparison interface will not show all possible stats at once.
Item Luck
The Luck stat of a player can increase the chance of finding items, the properties that are created by loot and the strength of these properties. However, it does not directly affect damage or the ability to upgrade items. It gives the player a chance to upgrade their gear in earlier waves and is therefore more beneficial in early game runs than in later ones, since most players prefer greater weapon scaling and defense over raw damage gains.
Luck can also increase the chances of upgrading items at the Blacksmith. This isn't to be confused with the Blacksmith’s overall upgrade chances that increase with each level of the item. It is also possible to be increased by using anti-materials such as a Scroll of Strength and a Jewel of Blessing.
Weapons, armor, and shields can be created or spawned using the Luck property, which has an initial value of 40. These items can be improved by using golden ingots or spined leather (depending on the type of material) to increase the value of 40 luck, or to increase the luck of the item to 140.
Additionally there are certain items, such as the Hollow weapon that is infused with hollow can be outfitted to increase the damage dealt by any damage-dealing skill by 5%. These items can be purchased from the shop or crafted using the right ingredients.
Item Failure
Not all upgrades work. However, there are cash shop items which allow players to increase their success rate or prevent them from losing an item if the upgrade is unsuccessful.
The success rate of an upgrade can be seen in the Honing UI. The percentage indicates the probability of successfully upgrading an item. This can be increased with Additional Materials or Special materials. There are limits to the extent to which the success rates can be improved and the chance of an upgrade failing 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 with Luck increases that chance by an additional 5percent.
The upgrade overlays of the item are rendered above items in the inventory. This may obscure enchantment effects and 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.
