World of Warcraft Item Upgrades Upgrades to items can be used to boost the stats of an item. Based on the type of upgrade you choose, it can increase the rarity of an item or mark Level, and also boost other stats. Each item comes with a track for upgrading it. Each upgrade increases the cost of the next item by a certain amount. Item Level The value of an item's base stats increases when it is upgraded. The value is the sum of all of an item's leveled-up perks (attack magic attack and defense). Upgrades can be costly, depending on the person you hire and what you decide to do. This is because of how many perks must be replaced to allow the item to get upgraded. Item level is a popular measure of power, and can be found on all tooltips of items. It also serves to determine a gating condition when waiting for dungeons, scenarios and raids, and to limit the amount of PvP gear a player can wear (since PvP is capped at an lower level). The average level of the item can be found on the character sheet. When deciding whether to buy or sell equipment, players can compare the level of an item. It's an indicator of the item's damage and its quality. Comparing items from the inventory of a vendor is possible using the item's level. On PC, you can check the level of the item using ALT, or by using the left stick on XB1 or PS4. This will display the complete item description, including its level. It is also accessible by hovering over an item using the mouse cursor, and then typing /itemlevel into chat. There are a variety of theories on how the level of an item is determined. One theory states that the level of an item is determined by an equation that determines the value of an item's stats really are. It considers that different benefits are valued differently and that gems found in sockets increase the value of the item. This can result in a calculated amount for the item's level, which is typically close to the actual Blizzard level of the item. This isn't the only factor that influences the value of an item. The degree of the area in which the item dropped can also change its stats. For instance, it could add a level to the item's haste or crit score. Items that drop in higher-level situations 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 uses a lot of them in a variety of ways to encourage players to play with multiple weapons, and to prevent one weapon from being “the best.” The base stats of a weapon are increased by the weapon's stat modifications that are in turn boosted by the player's level. The upgrades to items add by boosting certain stats on the item. 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 rare tiers will be upgraded several times at higher prices. Affixes are another way to change an item's stats. These are special stat boosts that can be added to an item by the player, and they come in all sizes and shapes. The affixes are used to provide items with extra damage or special abilities (such as revitalizing dead or reducing cooling downs) or to make them unique by adding a name. All affixes are being re-rolled right now by selecting them in the upgrade window pressing the green button. It will cost a set amount in gold and other items. They can also be used as upgrade gauges, similar to other rerolling methods. In addition to rerolling affixes, players can select which stats to keep on an item when it is upgraded. The possible stat ranges for an item are based on the level of the item, but all items are guaranteed to have at least 1 stat within the range, unless it is an item that is unique or the result of a God roll from a raid boss. Another thing that could change is the possibility to upgrade equipment without having to roll the attachments, or pick which stats to enhance. However, as with the base equipment, this would have to be done on a per-item level, and the interface for item comparison will not show all the stats that could be gained or lost at once. Item Luck A player's Luck stat stacks up to increase the chances of finding items, the properties spawned on loot drops, and the intensity of the properties. However, it doesn't directly impact damage or the ability to upgrade item s. It merely gives the player a chance to upgrade their equipment earlier in the game, and is therefore more useful in early game runs than in later ones, because most players value more powerful weapon scaling and defenses over the raw damage gain. Luck can also boost the likelihood of upgrading items at the Blacksmith. This should not be confused with the Blacksmith's overall upgrade chance that increases with each level and can be further enhanced by using an anti-material, such as a Scroll of Strength or a Jewel of Blessing. Armor, shields and weapons can spawn or be crafted with the Luck property, which has a default value of 40. These items can be augmented by using golden ingots or spined leather (depending on the material they are made of) to add another 40 luck or to boost an item's existing Luck up to 140. Furthermore, certain items, like the Hollow weapon, which is infused with Hollow, can be equipped to increase the damage dealt by any damage-dealing skill by five percent. These items can be purchased from the shop or made using the correct ingredients. Item Failure Upgrades to items can be expensive and not all upgrades will succeed. Cash shop items can be used to increase the chances of success for an upgrade or to stop players from losing their item in the event that it is not successful. When you upgrade an item the success rate is displayed in the Honing UI. The percentage represents the chance of completing the upgrade successfully, and it can be increased by adding Additional Materials or Special Materials. There are limitations on the extent to which the success rates can be improved and the chance of a failed upgrade cannot exceed 100%.. The Luck of an item can affect the effectiveness of an upgrade. All items have an average success rate of 25%, and each item with Luck increases that chance by 5%. The item upgrade overlays are displayed above items in the inventory. This can 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.
