World of Warcraft - Item Upgrade
The upgrade of items allows players to increase the 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, as weapons have lower requirements for level. The amount of Gold required increases as an item is upgraded.
