What actually changes?

why?
Why? · StatsBlizzard’s item record prints stats at a preview level that differs between items, so the rows compare how each item SPLITS its secondary rating — the share of each stat — not the raw numbers.

How far can it grow?

why?
Why? · Upgrade trackItem level per rank is the gear page’s track table; every rank costs 20 Mistcrests of the item’s own track. Any 344 drop from the Mythic Coiled Altar or Ula’tek is past the track and upgrades no further; a fully upgraded Hero or Myth weapon, trinket or necklace can take one Ascendant Venomstone upgrade (Method: Hero 321 → 328, Myth 334 → 341; Blizzard prints no number), a 344 cannot.

  2. This item does not drop on Veteran.

  5. This item does not drop on Myth.

No upgrade track — Blizzard’s record gives it item level 219 and no track. The journal lists no drop for it, so no track per difficulty is claimed.
