Why We Enjoy Item Upgrade (And You Should Also!)

WoW Upgrades - The Item Upgrader
Upgrades will give you a boost to certain stats. Each upgrade increases the level of the item by +3. Each upgrade also increases an unspecified substat.
Upgraded gear is generally more valuable, unless the item is not required by nature (like FB sorc shields) or has a large variance in stats (like Eth Titan weapons). Upgrades are less useful for those with lower requirements because of the requirement to roll a perfect version.
Recycle Points
The item upgrader enables players to upgrade gear to a higher item upgrading level by supplying the appropriate currency to the NPC. Upgrades can be applied on any type of armor or weapons. The item used to upgrade the item will be consumed and can't be used again. Upgrades can be used to create Enchantments.
You can upgrade your gear at any time by visiting the upgrader in any major city. To ensure that your equipment is up-to-date it is recommended you visit the upgrader each several weeks.
The cost of upgrading will depend on the current level of the item being upgraded however, they will always be less expensive than buying new gear from other sources. For example upgrading a Benthic chest piece to 385 ilvl will cost 20 recycle points while buying a similar item from a different player will cost 105.
Valorstones
Upgrades are useful items that are used to upgrade weapons, tools, armor, and other items. They can be purchased by players from NPCs of Item level upgrade upgraders for various currencies. They are also available on random treasure lists. Once purchased, an upgrade is able to be applied to any tool, weapon or armor. button, which will show an item's preview at the next upgrade level in the event that the player has enough materials.
Upgrade costs differ based on the slot for the item upgrader kit and the current level of the item upgrades. For instance weapons cost more than gloves, bracers or bracers. Each step costs 15 Flightstones and a variety of crests, with certain upgrades offering discounts to lower the cost of the Flightstones or crests used. Once an item has been upgraded to a certain amount it can be re-downgraded and sold to the upgrader at a lower price.
A lot of locations offer upgraders for items in addition to the main island and some outposts. The NPCs provide both an upgrade discount and a chance to obtain a new upgrade recipe. The discount for upgrading increases as more items are upgraded. It can also be increased by having players finish certain achievements or quests.
Unlike Cromwell in Baldur's Gate II, there is no upgrader for items available at the beginning of Icewind Dale. Instead the NPCs that can be used to upgrade are acquired via a variety of means which is both an improvement but also a drawback.
In Season 3, many new features have been added to the upgrade system. Once a player has upgraded to a certain level of item for an armor slot upgrading other items to the same level, will cost less. This is even if those items are from an entirely different set of gear.
The discount is available to all accounts. The amount of Harbinger Crests needed to upgrade is cut also, but is only available once certain milestones are achieved.
Crests
When it comes to upgrading gear in WoW players have a few choices. Flightstones are an item that is available to all players for upgrading. Crests are more specific, and are used during specific item level upgrades. Crests are a crucial component of the Dragonflight Gear Progression System that was introduced in version 10.1. They come in four ranks.
First, you must be aware that Crests are only available to gear of a certain rank. Each rank has a different upgrade path. The simplest and most straightforward upgrade process costs just 15 crests while the most complex requires as many as 20 crests depending on the type of gear being upgraded.
Players can earn crests through finishing content at the appropriate level, which involves walking around and engaging in outdoor activities to get lower-tier gear, raids or dungeons with all difficulties for higher-tier items or Mythic+ heroic raid bosses and dungeons for endgame gear. These crests are then exchanged with an item upgrader such as Cuzolth or Vaskarn, in Valdrakken to upgrade the item in the proper steps and routes.
Using these new currencies isn't that difficult, but the system will introduce a few modifications to the upgrade process. For example, once an item reaches the highest level of upgrading for any rank (Explorer, Adventurer, Veteran, Champion, Hero, or Mythic), it won't need Flightstones to be upgraded. This is to allow players to get their equipment up to the highest possible ilvl on all their characters instead of relying on seasonal loot.
Another significant change is that crests only have one usage, so it's important to make use of them in a responsible manner. It's best to use your Whelpling-rank crests on the top-quality equipment you can locate, and keep Drake and Wyrm Crests to be used for the next set of upgrades. This is especially applicable to rings and trinkets that take up multiple slots on the character, which will only be able to benefit from the account-wide discount if all of the slots are filled with top-quality gear.
