From Chucks 1E Eclipse Phase Wiki

WoW Upgrades - The item upgrading Upgrader

Upgrades provide a guaranteed boost to specific stats. Each upgrade increases the level of an item by 3. A random additional substat is also added to each upgrade.

The more modernized gear generally has a higher trade value as long as it meets low requirements (like the FB shield of the sorc) or very high stat variance (like the eth titan weapons). Upgrades aren't as useful for those with lower requirements because of the requirement to roll a perfect version.

Recycle Points

The item upgrader allows players to upgrade their gear by giving the currency to an NPC. Upgrades can be applied on any type of armor or weapons. However, the item upgrader kit that is used to upgrade will be consumed for the duration of time and cannot be used again. Upgrades can also be used to create enchantments.

The upgrader is located in all major cities and can be visited anytime to upgrade your equipment. It is recommended to visit the upgrader at least once every few weeks, to keep your equipment up to date.

The cost of upgrades will be based on the current level of the equipment being upgraded but they will always be less expensive than purchasing new equipment from other sources. Upgrades such as upgrading a Benthic chest up to 385 ilvl will cost you 20 recycle points. If you purchase a similar item, it will cost you 105.

Valorstones

Upgrades are items that can be used to upgrade weapon, armor, tool and accessory upgrades. They can be purchased by players from item upgraders NPCs in a variety of currencies. They can also find them in random treasure lists. Once an upgrade has been purchased it can be used on any weapon, tool, or armor with an button, which will show an item's preview at the next upgrade level when the player has enough materials.

Upgrade costs differ based on the slot of the item and the current level of the item. For example, weapons will cost more than bracers, or gloves. Each upgrade cost 15 Flightstones and a few crests, with some upgrades offering discounts to reduce the cost of the Flightstones or crests used. Once an item has been upgraded to a certain level it is able to be downgraded and sold to the upgrader at a lower price.

A lot of locations offer upgraders for items which include the main island and a few outposts. The NPCs provide both an upgrade coupon and the possibility of getting an entirely new recipe. The discount for upgrades increases according to the number of items being upgraded. It can also be boosted by requiring players to complete specific achievements or complete quests.

Unlike Cromwell in Baldur's Gate II is no item upgrader available at the start of Icewind Dale. Instead, the NPCs that are available to help with upgrades are acquired via various methods which is both an improvement and a drawback.

In Season 3, the upgrade system was tweaked a bit, with some new features added. After an upgrade item has been completed to a certain item level for an armor slot upgrading other items to the same item level, will cost less. This is true even if the items come from another set of equipment.

The discount is applicable to all accounts. The amount of Harbinger Crests needed for upgrades is also cut and is not available until players have reached certain milestones in their achievements.

Crests

When it comes to upgrading equipment in WoW players have a variety of choices. Flightstones are an item level upgrade that is available to everyone for upgrading. Crests are more specialized and are utilized during specific Best item upgrader level upgrades. Crests are an integral component of the Dragonflight Gear Progression System, which was introduced in version 10.1. They come in four ranks.

First, you should know that Crests are only available to equipment that is with a certain rank. Each rank has distinct upgrade paths. The most basic and straightforward upgrade path costs 15 crests, while the most complex may require as many as 20 crests based on the type of equipment that is being upgraded.

Players can earn crests through working through content that is of the appropriate level, whether that involves walking around and performing outdoor activities for gear of lower tiers, raids or dungeons of all difficulties for higher-tier items, or Mythic+ dungeons or heroic raid bosses for endgame gear. These crests are then exchanged with an upgrader such as Cuzolth or Vaskarn, in Valdrakken for the appropriate upgrade steps and paths.

Utilizing these new currencies isn't too difficult, but the system will introduce a few changes to the overall upgrade process. When a piece of equipment attains the highest level of upgrade for any rank (Explorer or Adventurer) it no longer requires Flightstones. This is to allow players to upgrade their gear up to the highest level possible on all their characters, instead of relying on seasonal loot.

Another significant change is that crests have one purpose therefore it's essential to use them properly. For instance, it's a good idea to utilize all of your Whelpling rank crests on the top equipment available and then save Drake and Wyrm crests for the next round of upgrades you're planning to make. This is especially applicable to items like trinkets and rings that fill multiple slots. The account-wide discount will only be applicable if all slots on the character are filled with top-quality equipment.
