World of Warcraft - Item Upgrade

The feature of upgrading items allows players to increase the level for weapons that can be equipped or armor. This boosts the stats of the item and may also include buffs or rerolls to an affix.

It is important to keep in mind that upgrading magic and common gear is not always worth the cost. Rare and exclusive equipment will soon surpass upgraded magic and common equipment.

Cost

The player must pay gold to upgrade an item. The cost of upgrading an item is dependent on its current level and type of upgrade selected. Upgrades to weapons are typically less expensive than upgrades to armor because weapons have lower requirements. The amount of Gold required for upgrading increases when the item is upgraded to the next level.

Upgrades can be expensive, especially for armor and weapons. Based on the upgrade path, each step up in level of the item could cost several Valorstones and crests. The total costs can be very prohibitive for players who do not have the funds or are unwilling to grind them.

Fortunately the game lets players reroll an upgraded item with a special tool in the items menu. This option allows you to replace the upgraded item with a level 1 version that has different bonus effects. This can be useful to get better rolls on items that are already upgraded, but could be a waste of time and resources.
