Upgrading tier set appearances is back! Players were very concerned when the Midnight Alpha showed that you can no longer unlock a higher armor set look by upgrading it via crests. Blizzard have now reconsidered this and changed the way it currently works as well.
Players will be able to receive the higher track armor look after upgrading their current one to its maximum item level! So if you push your Heroic gear to its maximum, you will receive the Mythic look.
We’ve seen a great deal of feedback from players about how they hope to continue upgrading the look of class set items, which has been possible since patch 10.1 by upgrading items to the point that their required crest type changed. In Midnight, there will only be one crest type per item track, and we agree that this is functionality worth keeping in the game, so we’re changing how it works.
In Midnight, we’re maintaining that functionality with a clearer trigger: reach the highest level of power within a tier, and you unlock the next tier’s appearance.
Class set and raid weapon appearances will now change after the item has been fully upgraded to 6/6 on its upgrade track.
Thanks again for your feedback!
