https://cases.gg/item-upgrader World of Warcraft - Item Upgrading Item upgrading allows players to increase the gear score of an item up to 700, and then add a final perk. Items can be upgraded by having them in inventory, and then taking them to the kiln. Certain items are worth upgrading due to their unique stats. (For instance an excellently rolled breakpoint armor used in melee PvP). Other items, like weapons don't really change after an upgrade and therefore aren't worth the cost. Weapons Upgrades to weapons can increase their numerical stats, such as attack damage, crit probability and PvE/PvP damage. Weapons have a flat-rate bonus that increases damage per second. In addition some weapons come with a set bonus that activates when three or more of the same weapon is present on a single unit. This bonus can sometimes be greater than the damage that an upgrade alone can cause. The cost of upgrading a weapon varies on its rarity and current level. For instance, an upgrade to a +2 weapon will require two standard Smithing Stones while a+3 requires four. The number of stones required to upgrade the gun will increase until it needs a higher level of Smithing Stones. At that point it will reset to one. Upgrading weapons will also reroll their base stats. This is usually a positive aspect, but it may also have negative consequences. Upgrades can render items impossible to use, unless you are very lucky. Armor items can also be upgraded to improve their stats. In the case of chests or helms, it will boost its base defense while gloves and belts will increase their strength and dexterity. Armor also offers the option of rerolling its Enhanced Defense percentage, which means that it could change its roll to a lower value. The upgrade template of a weapon will display the new stats it will gain after upgrading along with the relative values of those stats. This means that a weapon will gain 33% attack damage when it is upgraded from an 8 attack damage sword to an 11 attac
