World of Warcraft - Item Upgrade
The upgrade of items allows players to raise the item level of weapons and armor that are equippable. This boosts the stats of that equipment, and also sometimes adding buffs or the rerolling of an affix.

Cost

For instance, upgrading a weapon will typically be cheaper than upgrading armor, since weapons require lower levels of skill. The amount of Gold required for upgrading an item increases as the item is upgraded.
An upgraded item will also come with increased stats, which can boost its performance in many ways. This includes increasing its attack power, critical strike chance, or damage per second. In addition an upgraded item might be able to provide extra buffs to the unit it is equipped with. These upgrades can be utilized for a number of reasons such as to increase the overall power of a particular or group unit. They can also have a major impact on the gameplay.

Item upgrades can be costly, especially when it is related to armor and weapons. Based on the upgrade track you select, each item level increase can cost Valorstones or Crests. The cost can be prohibitive for players who do not have the money or are unable to grind.

This option will replace the upgraded item with the level 1 version which offers different bonus effects. This can help you get better rolls on items that are already upgraded, but it can also be a waste of money.
