World of Warcraft - Item Upgrade
The item upgrade feature allows players to boost the item level for weapons that can be equipped or armor. This boosts the stats of that equipment, and also sometimes adding buffs or rerolling an affix.
It is crucial to remember that upgrading magic and common gear is not always worth the cost. Rare and Unique equipment will quickly surpass the standard gear and upgraded magic.
Cost
The player has to spend gold to upgrade an item. The cost of upgrading an item is contingent on its current level and upgrade type chosen. Upgrades to weapons are usually cheaper than upgrades for armor, since weapons have lower requirements. The amount of Gold required increases as an item is upgraded.
A new item will also have increased stats, which can boost its performance in many ways. This can include increasing its attack power or critical strike chance. In addition an upgraded item could be able to offer additional buffs for its equipped unit. These upgrades are able to increase the overall strength of a unit or individual unit, and could significantly impact the gameplay.

Item upgrades can be expensive, particularly when it comes to weapons and armor. Based on the upgrade track you select, each item upgrade can cost Valorstones or Crests. The total cost could be very prohibitive for players who do not have the funds or are unable to grind them.

Requirements

The bonus is a combination of a guaranteed additional substat and a random statistic that will change in value from upgrade to upgrade.
Reroll Tokens can be used to reroll an item that has been upgraded. The new item will feature a different set of extra bonuses and a lower level of base item. The rerolled item is also likely to have different requirements for strength and dexterity. It is important to remember that the rerolled item will not retain its level or have any wasted resources.
Rerolling some upgraded items is only possible if the item that was upgraded was Epic, Rare or Unique. Extraordinary items can also be rerolled, however the original stats are replaced with a flat-rate bonus. Rerolling an item that is Rare or Epic item will produce the normal version, and rolling the Epic version will result in an elite version.

Time is a factor.
Item upgrades are a way to boost your ship's stats and gear without needing to level them up.

Rewards

The maximum level of upgrade for an item is determined by the item's tier as well as its quality. Rare and Epic items can be upgraded to levels of nine, whereas common items can only be upgraded up to level six. Upgrades to items are added to the item's base statistics and won't increase after a certain point.
