Item Upgrades in Patch 5.3, Oondasta's Health Reduced by 50%
Blizzard posted a huge blog on item upgrades today, in the midst of revealing their new game,
Hearthstone
at PAX East.
Here's what you need to know about item upgrades returning:
They'll be returning in Patch 5.3 at a reduced cost for PvE gear.
0
Valor Points
is needed to upgrade an item by 4 levels, instead of 0
Valor Points
as in Patch 5.1.
5.2 Justice items now require 750 Justice to upgrade per 8 item levels, for a total of 750 Justice for 8 item levels per item.
Season 12 PvP items can be upgraded, but no other PvP items for the foreseeable future. Many PvPers did not like the concept of upgrades, and there were some imbalance issues going from ilvl 483 Honor gear that was upgraded to ilvl 491 in 5.1, to ilvl 476 un-upgradeable Honor gear in 5.2.
There was also a post today stating that
Oondasta
's health was reduced by 50%--should be a bit more killable now.
