The 10 Most Scariest Things About Item Upgrader
World of Warcraft Item Upgrades
Item upgrades can be used to increase the stats of a particular item. Based on the type of upgrade you choose, it can increase an item's Rarity or Mark Level, and also boost other stats.
Each item has a track to upgrade it. Each upgrade increases the price of the next item by a specified amount.
Item Level
The value of an item's base stats increases as it is upgraded. This is the sum of an item's leveled-up perks (attack magic attack and defense). Upgrades can be costly, dependent on who you employ and what you do. This is because of how many perks need to be replaced in order for the item to be upgraded.
It is also used as a gating requirement when queueing for dungeons, raids and scenarios. It can also be used as a gating requirement while queueing for dungeons, raids and scenarios, and to limit the amount of PvP gear a player can wear (since PvP is limited to the lower levels). The average item level can be found on the character sheet.
The level of an item can help players evaluate the strength of equipment when choosing to buy or sell. It's a measure of the item upgrade's damage and quality. Comparing items in the inventory of a seller is possible using the item's level.
On 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 complete item description, including its ilvl. It can also be found by hovering over an item with the mouse cursor and typing /itemlevel into chat.
There are several theories on how the calculation of an item's level is made. One theory is that the item level is a numerical value derived from a formula that determines the value of an item's stats are worth. It takes into account the fact that various perks have different value and that gems in sockets increase the overall value of the item. This could result in a calculated item's ilvl that is typically very close to Blizzard's real item level.
This is not the only thing that affects the level of an item. The location of where the item dropped can also alter its stats. For instance, it could add a level to the item's haste or crit score. This means that items that drop at higher levels will have higher the ilvl than items from lower level instances.
Item Stats
Stats on an Item Upgrader Kit are a significant element in what determines the value of an item for players. The game makes use of them in various ways to encourage players not to limit themselves to one weapon and to motivate players to explore other weapons. The stat modifications of an weapon increase the base stats. These stat mods are then increased by a player's skill.
The upgrades to items add by increasing certain stats of the item. The upgrade costs are determined by the rarity of the item. A grey or white item for instance, can only be upgraded one time however, items that has rare tiers can be upgraded multiple times with more expensive costs.
Affixes can also be used to alter the stats of an item. 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 can be used to give items additional damage or other special capabilities (such as revitalizing dead or reducing cooling downs), or to differentiate them by putting a name on them.
All affixes can be re-rolled at the moment by selecting them in the upgrade window, and pressing the green button. This will cost a specific amount in gold and other items. They can also be used as upgrade gauges, similar to other methods of rerolling.
Players can upgrade an item by specific stats, or reroll affixes. The stat ranges are determined by the item upgrader mod's level. However every item will have at least one stat in the range, unless they are a unique item, or a God Roll from a boss in a raid.
This is another thing that could be changed by introducing an option to upgrade the equipment without rolling the affixes, or selecting which stats to enhance. But as with base equipment, this would have to be performed on a per-item level, and the item compare interface wouldn't show all possible stats that were gained or lost at the same time.
Item Luck
A player's Luck stat stacks up to increase the chances of item discoveries and the properties that are spawned from loot drops and the strength of those properties. However, it doesn't directly affect damage or the ability to upgrade items. It merely gives the player a chance to upgrade their gear in earlier waves and is therefore more beneficial in the initial game run than later ones as most players prioritize greater weapon scaling and defense over damage gains.
In addition to influencing the discovery of items, Luck also increases the probability of being successful when upgrading items using the Blacksmith. This is not to be confused with the Blacksmith’s overall upgrade chances, which increase with each new level of Best item upgrader. These can also be enhanced by using anti-materials such as a Scroll of Strength and a Jewel of Blessing.
Weapons, armor, and shields can be made or spawn using the Luck property, which has a default value of 40. These items can then be enhanced by golden ingots, spined leather, or oak boards (depending on the type of material used) to grant a further +40 Luck, or to increase the existing Luck of an item, up to 140.
Moreover some items, like the Hollow weapon that is infused with hollow, can be equipped to increase the damage dealt by any damage-dealing skill by 5%. These items can be purchased in the shop or created with the right ingredients.
Item Failure
Not all upgrades are successful. However, there are cash shop items that allow players to increase their success rate or prevent themselves from losing an item if the upgrade is unsuccessful.
When you upgrade an item, the success rate is shown in the Honing UI. The percentage represents the likelihood of successfully upgrading the item. This can be increased by using Additional Materials or Special Materials. There are limitations on how much success rates can be increased, and the overall chance of an upgrade failing cannot exceed 100%.
The performance of an upgrade is also affected by the luck of the item. Each item has an initial success rate of 25% and each item with Luck increases the chance of success by an additional 5%.
The upgrade overlays for items are displayed above items in the inventory. This may cause obscurity to enchantment effects or 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.
