This is not factoring in the 35 per blue calling or 50 per epic calling. Assuming there is 7 blue callings (gives a total of 245 valor for the week) per week that's still a total of 36 mythic+ you have to run per week to get that 5000 valor cap or if you get luck and there's all epic callings in the week that drops the total of mythic+ needed to run down to 35 for the week (7 epic calling rewards is 350 valor). This isn't even factoring in the fact that next week the cap for valor will be 5750, the week after that will be 6500, the week after that will be 7250, the week after that 8000, the week after that 8750...etc etc etc. Yes weapons will cost 1000 valor to upgrade 1 rank (2h weapons are 1000 alone, 1h int weapons are 750, 1h agi or str weapons are 500 each, and shields & offhands are only 250 meaning shield using tanks & casters that can use shields only have to fork out 750 total for for their weapon & shield to get upgraded 1 rank instead of 1000 for everyone else) but since the mythic+ upgradeable items don't start at rank 1 means that you can still get an item at a high level and then work on upgrading it later. That means you can get that rank 10 item level 213 item and upgrade it to rank 12 (assuming you've done the required Explorer/Conqueror/Master achievements to upgrade it to rank 12 once per week. Assuming you have a full set of gear you need to upgrade you just got and have the required achievement to even upgrade it at all, a full set of gear costs 6,075 (minus the valor that would be used to upgrade a slot that is taken up by your legendary item like pants that would use 475 would bring it down to 5600 instead of 6,075).

You really should read my reply. It takes a total of 6,075 to upgrade all slots of your gear 1 rank assuming you have the required achievement to be able to even upgrade slots past the rank it is currently at. Subtract the valor cost for whatever slot your legendary is in and it could go down to only 5600 for all slots or even lower to 5350 if you are a 1h + shield using class. There is also an insane amount of mythic+ that needs to be ran even if you do all 7 callings per week. It averages out to about a bare minimum of 5 mythic+ per day every day in the week if you happen to get ALL epic calling quests every day for calling quests which you also do for valor points. If you just do the mythic+ grind for valor and ignore the calling quests then you're needing to run 5 or 6 mythic+ per day every day for the entire week just to cap out valor. If you get a better piece from the vault in the next week, it won't be detrimental in your upgrade path as I doubt you'll see any difference in it....
