World of Warcraft - Item Upgrade
Item upgrade allows players to increase the level of armor and weapons that can be equipped. This boosts the stats of the item and can also add buffs or rerolls on an affix.
It is important to remember that although you can upgrade your magic and common equipment, it's generally not worth the cost. Rare and exclusive equipment will quickly surpass upgraded magic and common equipment.
Cost
When a player upgrades an item, they must spend Gold to do so. The cost to upgrade an item depends on the item's current level and the type of upgrade. For example upgrading a weapon will generally be less expensive than upgrading armor, as weapons require lower levels of skill. The amount of Gold needed increases as an item is upgraded.
An upgraded item will also come with increased stats, which could boost its performance in a variety of ways. This could include increasing the power of its attack critical strike chance, or damage per second. Additionally, an upgraded item may be able to offer additional bonuses to its equipped unit. These upgrades are able to be used to boost a variety of purposes for example, to increase the overall power of a particular or group unit. They can also affect the overall gameplay.
The items can be upgraded at any NPC that is an upgrader in the game. Typically NPCs can be found in major cities or questing areas. Players can also find item upgraders in dungeons that have high-level bosses, and by talking to NPCs in their garrisons for their faction.
The World of Warcraft item upgrade system allows players to improve the quality of weapons, armor and trinkets. This process is similar to the gear reforging process in Mists of Pandaria or Warlords of Draenor. However instead of making use of currency, players will need to visit an item upgrade r to complete the process.
Upgrades can be costly especially for armor and weapons. Depending on which upgrade track you select, each level increase can cost Valorstones or Crests. The total costs can be a major burden for players who do not have the funds or are unable to grind them.
Fortunately, the game lets players reroll an upgraded item with an additional tool available in the menu for items. This option lets you exchange the upgraded item for an equivalent level 1 version with an additional set of bonus effects. This is useful to gain better results on items that are already upgraded. However, it could also be a waste.
Requirements
Upgrading is the process of increasing the item level of the items that are equippable like trinkets, weapons and armor. This can increase their power which makes them more powerful in combat. Players can upgrade their equipment by spending the appropriate currency at an item upgrader. Players must be aware of the fact that some upgrades require specific requirements.
The earliest upgrades only increase the base item's stats by one level, but later upgrades give more substantial increases. For instance, upgrading a weapon from level three to level six will boost the weapon's damage by two levels. A bonus stat will be added to the upgraded item based on its level. The bonus consists of a guaranteed substat as well as an undetermined stat that will change from upgrade to upgrade.
A player can reroll an upgraded item by using a Reroll Token to exchange the upgrade for a brand new one. The new item will come with a different set of extra bonuses, as well as a lower base item level. The rerolled item will also have different requirements for strength and dexterity. It is important to remember that the rerolled item will not be able to maintain its strength or have any of its wasted resources.
Rerolling upgraded items is only possible if the item that was upgraded was Epic, Rare, or Unique. Extraordinary items are also allowed to be rerolled, but their original stats will be replaced with an uninvolved bonus. Rerolling a Rare or Epic item will result in a Normal version, and rerolling the Epic version will result in an elite version.
Upgraded items can come with additional adjustments that can boost their performance and boost their stats. These additional modifiers do not come with the upgrade cost. They can be acquired through doing quests, purchasing them at the Trading Post or from other players. They can also be earned by completing specific missions in the game.

Time

The amount of bonus awarded differs for every upgrade, and is typically higher for items that are rarer. The Great Vault can be searched by players to determine whether an item can be upgraded. The search can assist in determining whether the item is of a particular class and whether the player could benefit from a particular upgrade.

Uncommon items can be upgraded up to an maximum of level six while Rare and Epic items can be upgraded up to level nine. The upgrades to items are added to the base stats of the item. This means that they will not increase further after a certain level.
