So I want to thank the people that weighed in on my last thread about decoding and understanding the item upgrader practice that came into prominence on my sabbatical from WoW! I’m now fully engaged with it without fear!
… Well, mostly without fear.
I do not lose sleep or sweat about “ideal stats” or “the meta,” but I do often wonder if I’m spending my currencies at the item upgrader in a way to get the most out of them. I’m a firm believer that “item level has to be the most important stat” for the lane of the game I play in, so pushing it up at the upgrader is a detail I’m concerned with.
Is there an addon that, like, when I go to the upgrader, it will tell me the best items to upgrade first? Usually I just pull up the greens to being blues and then the blues to purples, but like… can I go deeper with an addon’s help?
Thanks in advance for any and all helpful replies!
Not that i know of, but typically wep followed by what ever else is bis/on the highest gear track.
There are things like PAWN but that doesnt include upgrader.

You know, now that I think about it, something that just clearly displayed everything’s item level when I open the character pane would kinda help me know what the low items are at a glance!
You can sim yourself at raidbots.com . You’ll need the simulationcraft addon.
It has a lot of options, so it can look kind of overwhelming at first. But it let’s you select different options of gear and upgrades, then pick how many targets and how long the fight will last. It’ll tell you which changes to your current loadout result in the biggest gain.
Generally people do single target for 5 minutes. If you really want to get deep into it you’ll run different target counts and times that resemble fights you’ll do.
It acts as if youre just smacking a target dummy, so keep in mind that movement or other mechanics can change the values sometimes. But id say you probably dont need to worry about that.
