Interesting video about item upgrades and tier breakpoints in D4

When you upgrade a piece of gear at the blacksmith, and the item level is near a tier breakpoint, you can sometimes get very powerful upgrades for minimal gold and materials investment. Things such as +1 to a skill becoming +2 for eample.

Wudjio does a good job of explaining it.

    In the crafting window, I noticed it shows a preview of the upgrade results. That way you can decide if that particular piece is a good upgrade and decide on priority.

    Yeah, that's nice.

    It's really more of an advanced level thing unless you happen to have something with + skill levels on it for one or two skills you use and just shy of a breakpoint. 

    Then there's the cost. It was easy to throw gold and mats into it during the betta because everything was getting wiped anyway. But when we're playing for real, I'll probably want to be kind of cost-conscious since, unlike D3, you're not exactly showered with gold and mats in this game.

    It's just handy to know that those breakpoints exist just in case I can make use of them if the RNG works out.

    I had no idea about the breakpoints and have prompty screnshotted that and will reference it when I play. Im not sure how much it matters at low levels since we outlevel gear so far but Im sure that is huge in later game play.
