Upgrades provide a guaranteed boost to certain stats. Each upgrade boosts the level of an item upgrader mod by 3. A random additional substat is also increased with each upgrade.

The latter see less value from upgrading due to the need to roll for a perfect version.
Recycle Points
The item upgrades upgrader allows players to upgrade their gear by offering the currency to an NPC. Upgrades can be made on any kind of armor or weapons. However, the item used for the upgrade will remain in use for a long time and will not be able to be used again. Upgrades can be used to create enchantments.
The upgrader can be found in all major cities, and can be accessed at any time to upgrade your equipment. It is recommended to visit the upgrader every few weeks to ensure that your equipment is up-to-date.
The cost of upgrading will vary based on the current item level of the item being upgraded but they will always be less expensive than buying new equipment from other sources. For example upgrading a chest piece from Benthic to 385 ilvl will cost 20 recycle points, while purchasing the same item level upgrade from a different player will cost 105.
Valorstones
Upgrades are items that can be used for weapons, armor, tools, and accessory upgrades. Players can purchase them 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. The button will show the item's next upgrade level, if there are enough materials.
Upgrade costs differ based on the slot of the item upgrader mod and the current Item Level Upgrade level. For example weapons cost more than gloves, bracers or bracers. Each step costs 15 Flightstones plus a set number of crests. Certain upgrades provide discounts on Flightstones. After an item has been upgraded to a certain degree it is able to be degraded and sold back to the upgrader for a lesser amount of the two currencies.
Many locations offer item upgraders, including the main Island and a few outposts. The NPCs provide both an upgrade coupon and a chance to obtain the latest recipe. The upgrade discount increases according to the number of items being upgraded, and can be boosted by having players complete some specific achievements or complete quests.
Contrary to Cromwell in Baldur's Gate II is no item upgrader available at the start 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, a number of new features were added to the upgrade system. Once the player has upgraded to a certain level of item for an armor slot, upgrading other items to the same item level, will cost less. This is regardless of whether the items come from an entirely different set of equipment.
The discount is available to all accounts. The amount of Harbinger Crests required to upgrade is reduced too, but it is only available when certain milestones are reached.
Crests
Players have several options for upgrading their gear in WoW. Flightstones are a currency that is available to all players for upgrading. Crests are more special and are utilized during specific item level upgrades. Crests are a key element of the Dragonflight gear progression system introduced in 10.1, and come in four ranks.
The first thing to remember is that crests are only able to be spent on gear of a specific rank, and each rank has its own requirements for upgrading. The simplest and simplest upgrade costs 15 crests. The most complex upgrade can require up to 20 crests, contingent on the type or gear that is being upgraded.
Players can earn crests through working through tasks at the appropriate level. This could mean doing outdoor activities or completing dungeons and raids in all difficulty levels to obtain lower-tier gear or Mythic+ raid bosses or dungeons with heroic difficulty to obtain endgame gear. The crests can then be exchanged with an upgrader, such as Cuzolth or Vaskarn, in Valdrakken for the appropriate upgrade steps and routes.
Using these new currencies isn't too complicated, but the system introduces some modifications to the upgrade process. For instance, once an item reaches the highest upgrade level of any rank (Explorer, Adventurer, Veteran, Champion, Hero, or Mythic), it won't require Flightstones to be upgraded. This change is intended to allow players to upgrade their equipment to the highest possible ilvl on all their characters, rather than relying solely on seasonal loot.
It's also essential to use crests with care, since they have only one purpose. For instance, it's best 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 plan on making. This is particularly true for items like rings and trinkets that fill 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 equipment.
