Valor and Item Upgrades
Valor Points may be gone, but Valor returns in Patch 6.2.3! Item upgrades are also back, with two upgrade levels at +5 item levels each.
- You can see a full list of items that can be upgraded here.
- Upgrading an item costs 250 Valor for +5 item levels.
- Hellfire Citadel items, Dungeon loot, Baleful items, and crafted profession items can each be upgraded twice, for a total of +10 item levels.
- You can upgrade lower tiers of crafted items, not just the highest one.
- There is no hard weekly cap on Valor earned, but the sources of Valor are inherently not infinitely repeatable. You can earn up to 4,875.
- There is a cap of 5,000 Valor that you can hold at once.
- Valor can be earned in the following ways:
- Mythic Dungeon (Valor awarded with dungeon completion, once per dungeon per week) – 300 Valor Points
- Complete the weekly Event quest from Seer Kazal (Pet Battle Event excluded) – 500 Valor Points
- Heroic Dungeon (complete your first random Heroic of the day) – 100 Valor Points
- Raid Finder (once per week per wing) – 150 Valor Points for Hellfire Citadel wings, 75 Valor Points for Highmaul and Blackrock Foundry wings
- To upgrade, visit your friendly neighborhood ethereal in Orgrimmar and Stormwind, or Stormshield and Warspear.

- Mythic dungeon items can now go from 685 to 725 in 5 level increments.
- Baleful item can go from 655 to 695 in 5 level increments.
- Items have a progressively lower chance to be rewarded as item level increases.
