Shares of each item’s secondary rating, from Blizzard’s item records; the raw numbers sit at different preview levels, so they are not compared. Rows that move 20 points or more are lit.

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.
  3. This item does not drop on Champion.
  4. This item does not drop on Hero.
  5. This item does not drop on Myth.

No upgrade track — Blizzard’s record gives it item level 197 and no track. The journal lists no drop for it, so no track per difficulty is claimed.
