World of Warcraft Item Upgrades Item upgrades are a way to boost the stats of an item. Based on the type of upgrade you choose, it can boost the rarity of an item, or its Mark Level, and also boost other stats. Each item has a track for upgrading it. Each upgrade increases the cost of the following one by a set amount. Item Level When an item is upgraded, its stats increase in value. item upgrader is the sum of an item's upgraded perks (attack magic attack and defense). Upgrades can be expensive, depending on who you hire and what you do. This is due to how many perks have to be replaced to allow the item to be upgraded. The level of an item is a popular measure of power, and is visible on all tooltips of items. It can also be used to limit how much PvP gear players can use, since PvP is limited at lower levels. The average level of an item is listed on the character sheet. When deciding whether to buy or sell gear players can evaluate the level of an item. It's an excellent gauge of an item's worth and how much damage it is capable of dealing with. Comparing items from a vendor's stock can be done by using the level of the item. The level of the item can be seen by pressing the ALT key on PC or using the left stick (L3) on XB1 and PS4. This will show the full description of the item, including its ilvl. It can also be located by hovering an item with the mouse cursor and typing /itemlevel into chat. There are several theories about how the item level is determined. One theory is that the item level is a number that comes from a formula that determines the amount an item's stats are worth. It considers that different advantages are valued differently and that gems in the sockets boost the value of the item. This could result in an item's ilvl which is calculated and is often very close to Blizzard's actual item level. However, this isn't the only factor that determines the ilvl of an item, since the level of the area the item dropped in can change the value of its stats, for example by adding a level to its haste rating or crit rating. This means that items dropped at higher levels will have more value than items dropped in lower-level instances. Item Stats Stats on an item are a significant component of what makes or breaks an item for players. The game uses a lot of them in different ways to encourage players to play with multiple weapons, and to prevent one weapon from being “the most effective.” The base stats on a weapon are increased by the weapon's stat mods that are in turn boosted by the player's level. Upgrades to the item add by boosting certain stats on the item. The rarity of an item determines the upgrade cost. For instance, a grey or white item can only be upgraded once, while an item with the rare levels will be upgraded multiple times, at higher costs. Affixes are a different method to alter the stats of an item. These are special stat boosts that can be added to an item by the player, and are available in all sizes and shapes. The affixes are used to provide items with extra damage or special abilities (such as the ability to revive dead or reduce cooling downs), or to differentiate them by putting a name on them. All affixes are currently re-rolled by selecting them in the upgrade menu pressing the green button. It will cost a set amount of gold and other items. They can also be used as upgrade gauges similar to other rerolling methods. In addition to the possibility of rerolling affixes, players may select which of the available stats to be kept on an item after it is upgraded. The range of stats determined by the item's level. However, all items will include at least one stat within the range, unless they are an item that is unique, or the item is a God Roll from a boss in a raid. This is another aspect that could be altered by adding the option to upgrade the equipment without rerolling the affixes or deciding which stats to increase. However, as with the base equipment, this would have to be done on a per-item basis, 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 The Luck stat of a player increases the likelihood of locating items, the properties that are generated by loot, and the strength of these properties. However, it does not directly affect damage or the ability to upgrade item s. It merely gives players a chance to upgrade their equipment in earlier waves and is thus more valuable in early game runs than in 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 chance of being successful when upgrading items using the Blacksmith. This isn't to be confused with the Blacksmith’s overall upgrade chances that increase with each item level. They can also be increased with the use of anti-materials such as the Scroll of Strength and a Jewel of Blessing. Weapons, shields, and armor can spawn or be crafted with the Luck property, which has an initial value of 40. These items can be augmented with golden ingots or spined leather (depending on the type of material) to increase the value of 40 luck or to boost the Luck of an item up to 140. Moreover, certain items, like the Hollow weapon that is infused with hollow can be used to increase the damage dealt by any damage-dealing skill by 5percent. These items are available in the shops or made using the right ingredients. Item Failure Not all upgrades are successful. Cash shop items can be used to increase the chance of success of an upgrade, or to protect players from losing their item in the event that it does not work. The success rate of an upgrade is displayed in the Honing UI. The percentage is 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 by so high, and the probability that the upgrade will fail cannot exceed 100%. The performance of an can be affected by the luck of that item. Every item has a base success rate of 25% and every item that has Luck increases that chance by an additional 5%. Note that upgrades to items 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.
