Right now when you bring a Elemental Overflow or Bloody Coin gear to be upgraded on the Item Upgrade NPC (New feature of 10.0.5 as the previous upgrade vendors are removed), you will not get your Storm Sigil or Trophy of Strife deducted from your currency but still get the upgrade.
I upgraded 2 Bloody Coin pieces, a total of 10 tokens, when I had 11. Still had 11, even thought it still gave me my upgraded pieces.
I proceed to buy a extra cloak I already have to test it out, and I still have my same 11.
I then go to test this with the Elemental Overflow gear. I upgraded 3 pieces of gear, bringing it to a total of 18 tokens worth of gear upgrades when I only had 13 tokens, still have 13 Storm Sigil tokens, but now have 3 pieces of 385 epic gear.
Valor gear is still the same as it was before, same with conquest gear as it actually spent my conquest when I upgraded my boots, no bugs here.
People are essentially getting free 385 upgrades and 421 pvp gear upgrades once they purchase a piece of gear.
As you can see here, I spent 7, still have my same 13 storm sigil.
Also give worgens a tail option please. ;D

Can confirm. It looks like it’s only the storm/wm gear. Tested with honor and conquest.
Also some gear is not able to be upgraded for example a 376 chest piece of WM gear says it will upgrade to 402 with a pvp ilvl of 470 instead of 385/421. Thankfully it doesn’t allow the upgrade to actually happen.
I have the same problem. I have more than I need to upgrade the 2H Sword and it just makes the noise of it and leaves it blue.
Help ME BLIZZARD!! I waited 2 weeks for the Sigils.

ya i’ve got blue 366/408 that upgrade to 404/479 or 392/470 or 369/408 to 404/379
and epic 382/408 that upgrade to 408/470. and 372/408 to 404/376
only think I can guess… haven’t checked the math but upgrades might add +X illvl per sigal cost. or similar compounded equation.
I am experiencing the same thing
server maintenance again tomorrow now.
Yep, can confirm… I upgraded 5 items… Woops.
Same issue – upgraded two items and realized I had the same amount of Sigils (7)
Same issue happened to me upgrade 3 or 4 peices before i realized they actually upgraded
Seems upgrade issues are all over the place in 10.0.5. But I wish I had the problem you guys are having, getting “free” upgrades.
I’m a lowly casual/solo player who just wanted to upgrade a 359 to 385 with storm sigils, and all I get is, “can’t be modified.”

If you actually upgrade it goes to the correct ilvl for the patch. The notes of the upgrade are just bugged. My guild and I tested it as soon as we found it 5 minutes into the servers going live.
Confirmed here as well, reported last night.
I sent a tweet concerning this earlier today. It appears all upgrades are now blocked so the “free” ones are no longer possible. Sadly this also means that people just flat out can’t upgrade anything even if they were obtained “after the patch”.

Makes sense. An exploitable bug that gives away epic gear will always get shut down pronto.
I hope they have mercy on those who exploited this bug, especially if it was unintentional.
I wouldn’t want that problem as there could be a ban hammer because of it, or the pieces reverted.
Most people KNOW how many sigils they have and how many pieces they can upgrade. So I really don’t see how any could be unintentional. I know I have 10 and I can only upgrade one item. Any more offered would be an obvious exploit.
guess i know why the dude don’t work now lol. can’t upgrade nothing now.
hopefully they fix it soon. I was pretty unhappy that I had to buy a whole new piece of the same type because the old items could not be upgraded only to find out that this item I just bought can’t be upgraded now ether…
At least they are taking these problems seriously.
I love that blue post that stated they were fixing this issue when servers went down at 11am… only to not fix the issue. 4 hours of grinding out sigils for literally nothing… Now I get to be time-gated by a hotfix for a game I pay for.

this is not OK. Why am I continuing to get eggs when I cant use them?
