WoW Upgrades - The Item Upgrader
Upgrades give you an increase in specific statistics. Each upgrade item increases the level of an item by 3. A random substat is also added to every upgrade.
The more modernized gear generally has a more value in trade as long as it meets low requirements (like the FB shield of the sorc) or very high stat variation (like Eth titan weapons). Upgrades aren't as useful for the latter because of the requirement to roll the perfect version.
Recycle Points
The item upgrader allows players to upgrade their gear by offering the currency to an NPC. Upgrades can be applied to any kind of weapon or armor. The item used to upgrade the item will be consumed and cannot be used again. Upgrades can also be used to create enchantments.
You can upgrade your equipment at any time by visiting the upgrader in any major city. To ensure that your equipment is up-to-date, it is recommended that you visit the upgrader every several weeks.
Upgrades will cost more depending on the item upgrader kit level, but they will always be cheaper than purchasing new gear. Upgrades such as upgrading a Benthic chest up to the level of ilvl385 will cost you 20 recycle points. Buying a similar item upgrading will cost you 105.

Upgrades are useful items that are used to upgrade weapons tools, armor, and accessories. They can be purchased from item upgraders NPCs in a variety of currencies. They can also find them on random treasure lists. Once purchased, an upgrade can be applied to any weapon, tool or armor. button, which will show an item level upgrade (link webpage)'s preview when it is upgraded in the event that the player has enough materials.
The cost of upgrading is based on the item upgrader mod slot and the current item level as well as the level of the weapon, which is more than bracers or gloves, for instance. Each upgrade costs 15 Flightstones and a number of crests, with certain upgrades having a discount to lower the cost of Flightstones or crests that are used. Once an item is upgraded to a certain level and is degraded, it can be sold and sold back to the upgrader for a lower amount of the two currency types.
A lot of locations offer upgraders for items which include the main island and a few outposts. The NPCs provide both an upgrade discount and the chance to obtain a new upgrade recipe. The discount on upgrades increases depending on the amount of items being upgraded, and can be boosted by having players complete specific achievements or complete quests.
Unlike Cromwell in Baldur's Gate II, there is no upgrader for items in the beginning of Icewind Dale. Instead, the NPCs that can be used to upgrade must be acquired through several methods, which is both an improvement as well as a disadvantage.
In Season 3, several new features have been added to the upgrade system. Once a player obtains an upgrade to a certain item level for a particular armor slot, upgrading further items to that level will cost less, even if they are part of another set of gear.
The discount applies to all accounts. Similarly, the amount of Harbinger Crests required to upgrade is also reduced and is not available until players have reached certain milestones in their achievement.
Crests
Players have several options when it comes to upgrading their gear in WoW. Flightstones are an option that is accessible to everyone for upgrading. Crests are more special and are used for specific item upgrade level upgrades. Crests are a crucial component of the Dragonflight Gear Progression System that was introduced in version 10.1. They are available in four ranks.
First, you should know that Crests are only available to equipment that is of a certain rank. Each rank comes with distinct upgrade paths. The simplest and most straightforward upgrade process costs just 15 crests while the more complex one can require as much as 20 crests depending on the type of gear that is being upgraded.
Players can earn crests through completing content at the appropriate level. This could be done by doing outdoor activities or taking on dungeons and raids of all difficulty levels to obtain lower-level gear or Mythic+ raid bosses or dungeons that have a high difficulty for gear in the endgame. The crests can then be exchanged with an upgrader for the item, such as Cuzolth or Vaskarn, in Valdrakken to upgrade the item in the proper steps and paths.
Using these new currencies isn't too complicated however, the system will introduce a few changes to the overall upgrade process. For example, once a piece of equipment reaches the highest level of upgrade for any rank (Explorer, Adventurer, Veteran, Champion, Hero, or Mythic) it will no longer require Flightstones to be upgraded. This is to allow players to get their equipment to the highest level possible on all their characters, instead of relying only on seasonal loot.
It's also important to use crests with care, since they only have one use. For instance, it's a good idea to make use of all your Whelpling-rank crests on the top equipment you have, and then save Drake and Wyrm crests for the next round of upgrades you plan on making. This is particularly applicable to items like rings and trinkets that occupy multiple slots. The discount on the account is only applicable when all slots on the character are filled with high-quality equipment.
