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.

No upgrade track — Blizzard’s record gives it item level 298 and no track. The journal lists no drop for it, so no track per difficulty is claimed.
