Three Reasons To Identify Why Your Item Upgrader Isn't Working (And Solutions To Resolve It)

World of Warcraft Item Upgrades

The upgrade of an item can be used to improve the stats of a particular item. Depending on the upgrade type it can increase an item's Mark Level or Rarity and boost additional stats.

Upgrades to gear in The War Within requires a set number of Flightstones and Crests, and each item comes with an upgrade track. Each upgrade increases the price of the next item by a specified amount.

Item Level

When an item is upgraded, its stats increase in value. This is the sum of all of its leveled up benefits (attack magic attack, attack defense). Upgrades to items can be costly dependent on the upgrader and the type of upgrade you choose to make. This is because of how many perks need to be replaced to allow the item to get upgraded.

It can also be used as a gating requirement while waiting for dungeons, raids and scenarios. It also serves as a gating requirement while waiting to queue for dungeons and scenarios, and raids, as well as to limit the amount of PvP gear a player can wear (since PvP is capped at a lower level). Players can see their average level of items on their character sheet.

When deciding whether to buy or sell gear, players can compare the levels of the item. It's a measure of the item's damage and its quality. Comparing items from the inventory of a seller can be done by using the item level.

The level of the item can be seen by pressing the ALT key on your PC or using the left stick (L3) on XB1 and PS4. This will display the complete description of the item, as well as its value. It is also accessible by hovering over an item with the mouse cursor, and then entering /itemlevel into chat.

There are a variety of theories on how the level of an item is calculated. One theory says that the item level is determined by formulas that determine how valuable an item's stats really are. It considers the fact that different perks have different worth and that gems in sockets add to the overall value of the item. This process could result in a calculated value for the item's ilvl, which is typically close to Blizzard's real item level.

However, this is not the only factor that affects an item's ilvl, because the size of the area the item is dropped into can alter the value of its stats, such as by adding a level to its crit rating or haste rating. This means that items dropped at higher levels will have more value than items dropped in lower-level instances.

Item Stats

The stats of an item can make or break an item for players. The game makes use of a lot of them in various ways to encourage players to play with a variety of weapons, and prevent one weapon from being "the most effective." The stats of a base weapon are boosted by the weapon's stat modification, which are themselves boosted by the player's level.

Item upgrades add to that by increasing certain stats of the item. The rarity of an item determines its cost of upgrading. An item that is white or grey, for example, will only be upgraded one time however, items that has rare tiers can be upgraded multiple times with higher costs.

Affixes are a different method to change an item's stats. They are stat boosts that can be added by the player to an item. The affixes can provide the item additional damage, add a special ability to the item (such as reviving the dead or decreasing the duration of cooldowns), or make the item unique by adding an additional name to the item.

Presently, all affixes are able to be modified by selecting them in the upgrade window and pressing the green button, which is accompanied by the arrows that circle. This will cost a certain amount in gold and items. They can also be used as upgrade gauges, as with other rerolling methods.

In addition to rerolling affixes, players can also choose which of the available stats they want to keep on an item after it is upgraded. The stat ranges are determined by the item's level. However, all items will have at least one stat in the range, unless they are a unique item or an item that has a God Roll from a boss in a raid.

Another thing that could be changed is the possibility to upgrade equipment without having to reroll affixes, or choose which stats to enhance. However, as with the base equipment, this would need to be carried out on a per-item level, and the item compare interface would not display all the possible stats either lost or gained at the same time.

Item Luck

The Luck stat for a player adds up to increase the chances of item discoveries and the properties that are spawned from loot drops, and the intensity of those properties. However, it does not directly affect damage or the ability to upgrade items. It simply gives the player a possibility to obtain better equipment earlier in the game and is thus more beneficial in the early game than in later ones, because most players value higher weapon scaling and defenses over the raw damage gain.

Luck can also increase the likelihood of upgrading items at the Blacksmith. This is not to be confused with the Blacksmith's overall upgrade probability, which increases with each level and can be further increased by using an anti-material such as a Scroll of Strength or a Jewel of Blessing.

Weapons, shields, and armor can be created or spawned by using the Luck property, which has the default value of 40. These items can then be upgraded with golden ingots, spined leather or oak boards (depending on the material of the item) to give +40 Luck, or to increase the Luck of the item up to 140.

Additionally some items, such as the Hollow weapon, which is infused with Hollow can be used to boost the damage of any damage-dealing skill by 5percent. These items can be purchased in the shops or made using the right ingredients.

item upgrading  are successful. Cash shop items can be used to increase the chance of success of an upgrade or to prevent players from losing their items if it does not work.


The rate of success of an upgrade is displayed in the Honing UI. The percentage represents the chance of successfully upgrading that item, and can be enhanced by adding Additional Materials or Special Materials. The percentage of success can only be increased as high, and the probability that an upgrade will fail can't exceed 100%..

The performance of an upgrades is also influenced by the luck of that item. Each item has an overall success rate of 25 percent, and each item that has Luck increases the chance of success by 5percent.

Note that item upgrades are rendered above the items in the inventory, so enchantment glint and other effects can be obstructed by them. 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.
