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 increases the power of the equipment, in addition to sometimes adding buffs or the rerolling of an affix.
It is important to remember that upgrading magic and common gear is not always worth the cost. Rare and exclusive gear will quickly outclass upgraded magic and common gear.
Cost
The player has to spend gold to upgrade an item. The cost of upgrading an item is dependent on its current level and the upgrade type chosen. Upgrades to weapons are generally cheaper than upgrades for armor since weapons have less requirements. The amount of Gold required for upgrading an item increases as the item is upgraded.
The upgraded items will also have upgraded stats that will improve its performance in a variety of ways. This can include boosting its attack power or critical strike chance. An upgraded item may also give additional bonuses to the unit it is equipped with. These upgrades can be used to boost the overall strength of a unit or individual unit, and could be a major influence on the gameplay.
Any item upgrader NPC can be located in the game. These NPCs are located in the major questing areas or capital cities. You can also find item-upgraders in dungeons that feature high-level bosses, and speaking to NPCs in the garrisons of your faction.
The World of Warcraft item upgrade system allows players to increase the level of their weapons, armor, and trinkets. This process is largely identical to the process of reforging gear in Mists of Pandaria and Warlords of Draenor however instead of using the currency that is appropriate players must visit an item upgrader NPC to complete the process.
Upgrades can be costly, especially for weapons and armor. Based on the upgrade path you select, each item level increase will cost Crests or Valorstones. The total costs can be very prohibitive for players who don't have the resources or are unable to grind them.
The game allows you to reroll a upgraded item using a special tool from the items menu. This option replaces the upgraded item with the level 1 version which offers different bonus effects. This can be useful to gain better results on items which are already upgraded. However, it could be a waste of time.
Requirements

This bonus consists of a guaranteed additional substat as well as a random stat that will vary in value from upgrade to upgrade.
A player can Reroll an upgraded item using a Reroll Token to exchange the upgrade for a new version. The new item will feature a different set of extra bonuses and a lower level of base item. The rerolled item will have different requirements for strength and dexterity. It is important to keep in mind that the item rerolled does not keep its original strength or any of its wasted resource.
Rerolling some upgraded items is only possible if the item that was upgraded was an Epic Rare, Rare or Unique. Extraordinary items can also be suitable for rerolling, however their original stats will be replaced by a flat bonus. Rerolling a Rare item will result in a Normal version the same kind, while rolling an Epic item will result in an Elite version of the same type.
An upgraded item may also include additional modifiers that can further increase its stats and enhance its performance. These additional modifiers are not included in the upgrade cost. They can be acquired by the questing process, purchasing them from the Trading Post or from other players. Additionally, they can be earned through completing certain tasks in the game.

Time

They're not cheap, but they can be a great way to increase your stats without having to spend so much time fighting. It's important to know the costs and benefits before making the investment of time or money.
Each upgrade boosts the stats of the item's base by to a certain extent and also gives the chance to obtain an additional substat. The extra substat is a random and may range from a small increase in one stat to a larger increase in another. It's best to focus on the most effective items in the slot first, as they will provide a greater return for your investment.

The upgrade window will show the expected completion time and progress. In certain situations, you might be able speed up the process of upgrading by using a Glyph.
It is also possible to salvage certain or all upgrade components from an item by using a high-end salvage kit sold by Black Lion Salvage and Ascended Salvage. However, this doesn't include legendary equipment and upgrades that can only be recovered by using an Upgrade Extractor or by recovering them through the appropriate karma merchant.
Take advantage of the benefits
The upgrading of items provides players with currency and a variety of items. In addition, every upgrade is able to grant a random extra stat bonus. The amount of bonus awarded is different for each upgrade, and is generally more expensive for rarer items. Players can conduct the Great Vault search to see whether an item is upgradeable prior to spending tickets. The search can assist in determining whether the item is of a particular level and if the player could benefit from an upgrade.
During the upgrade process, an item will gradually grow closer to the next stage, but not always reach the full upgrade bar. This process consumes Growthstones and Sollant however there is an opportunity to achieve an item that is fully upgraded in only one cycle of growth. The more levels that an item is upgraded the more powerful its stats will be and the more items that can be upgraded.
Upgrade components can be inserted into trinkets, armor, and weapons to earn an attribute bonus or to create a unique effect while the equipment is being worn. Certain upgrade components come with cosmetic effects. Upgrade components can be acquired by crafting, buying from vendors or the Trading Post, looting or receiving as a gift. Players can also retrieve upgraded items using an Upgrade extractor or salvaging with a high-tier salvage kit. Glyphs, which are stored in gathering tools, can be freely swapped out without restrictions.
By selecting the item and pressing the green button that has an arrow that rerolls the player can roll it into an upgradeable item. This will change the layout of the game and let players select up to six items for "recycling". The item will be replaced by an item of level 1. Recycled items don't keep their current level or amount of resources needed to upgrade them.
The highest level of upgrade an item can achieve is determined by its tier and quality. Common items can be upgraded to the maximum level of six while Rare and Epic items can be upgraded to level nine. The item upgrades are added to the base stats of the item. This means that they won't increase further after a certain level.
