World of Warcraft Item Upgrades Upgrades to items are a method to boost the stats of an item. Based on the type of upgrade, it may boost an item's Mark Level or Rarity, and also boost other stats. Each item has a track to upgrade it. Each upgrade increases the cost of the next item by a certain amount. Item Level The value of an item's base stats increase when it is upgraded. This value is the sum of the perks that are leveled up (attack magic attack and defense). The cost of upgrading items can be high depending on the upgrader and what type of upgrade you choose to perform. This is due to the sheer number of perks that must be altered to upgrade an item. It can also be used as a gating requirement while waiting for dungeons, raids and scenarios. It can also be used to limit the amount of PvP gear players can use since PvP is not available at a lower level. The average level of an item is listed on the character sheet. When deciding whether to purchase or sell equipment players can look at the level of an item. It's a measure of the damage and its quality. Comparing items in a vendor's stock can be done by using the item level. On your PC, you can see the level of the item by pressing ALT or by using the left stick on XB1 or PS4. This will display the item's full description, including the ilvl. You can also find it by hovering over an item and typing /itemlevel into chat. There are several theories about how the item level is determined. One theory says that the level of an item is calculated using a formula that calculates how valuable the stats of an item really are. It takes into consideration the fact that various perks have different value, and also that gems in sockets add to the value of the item overall. This process can result in a calculated amount for the item's level, which is usually close to Blizzard's real item level. This is not the only thing that affects the level of an item. The degree of the area in which the item dropped can also alter its stats. For example, it could increase the item's haste or crit rating. Items that drop in higher-level instances will have higher ilvl. Item Stats Item stats can be the difference between a good or bad item for players. The game makes use of them in various ways to encourage players to not restrict themselves to a particular weapon, and to encourage them to try out other weapons. The stat mods of weapons boost base stats. These stat mods are then boosted by a player's skill. Upgrades to an item can increase its stats. The cost of upgrades is determined by the rarity of the item. A white or grey item, for example, will only be upgraded one time however, items that has rare tiers can be upgraded multiple times at more expensive 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 they come in all sizes and shapes. Affixes can provide the item additional damage, add a special ability to the item (such as reviving dead or decreasing cooldowns) or make the item unique by giving an exclusive name to the item. All affixes can be being re-rolled right now by selecting them in the upgrade menu and pressing the green button. This will cost a certain amount of gold and other items. These can be used as upgrade gauges, just like the other rerolling methods. In addition to Rerolling affixes and rerolls, players can select which of the available stats they want to keep on an item when it is upgraded. The range of stats is determined by the item's level. However, all items will include at least one stat in the same range, unless it's a unique item or a God Roll from a raid boss. Another thing that could be altered by adding the option to upgrade the equipment without rolling the affixes, or selecting which stats to boost. Like the base equipment, it would have to be done per item and the item comparison interface wouldn't display all possible stats at once. Item Luck The Luck stat of a player stacks up to increase the chances of finding items as well as the properties that appear on loot drops, and the intensity of the properties. However, it does not directly affect damage or the ability to upgrade item s. It provides players with the chance to upgrade gear earlier in the game. This is more useful in the early game, because players tend to put defenses and weapon scaling over raw damage gains. Luck can also boost the chance of upgrading items at the Blacksmith. This isn't to be confused with the Blacksmith's overall chance of upgrading that increase with each level of the item. They can also be increased by using anti-materials, such as the Scroll of Strength and a Jewel of Blessing. Armor, shields, and weapons have an initial Luck value of 40. These items can be enhanced with golden ingots or spined leather (depending on the material they are made of) to add another 40 luck, or to increase the Luck of an item 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 5percent. These items can be bought at the store or made using the correct ingredients. Item Failure Not all upgrades are successful. However, there are some cash shop items that allow players to boost their chance of success or stop them from losing an item if the upgrade fails. When you upgrade an item the success rate is shown in the Honing UI. The percentage indicates the probability of successful upgrading an item. This can be increased by using Additional Materials or Special materials. The probability of success can only be increased so much, and the chance that an upgrade will fail can't be greater than 100%.. The Luck of an item can also affect the effectiveness of an upgrade. All items have an overall success rate of 25 percent and every item with Luck increases the chance of success by 5percent. Note that item upgrades are rendered above the inventory items, so enchantment glint and other effects can be masked by the overlays. 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.
