An additional update was made to the 10.1.5 PTR notes today that confirmed the addition of a new item upgrade track. The “Myth” upgrade track is a new track that exists above the “Hero” upgrade track, which is currently the highest upgrade track live in the game.
This will allow players to take items on the Myth upgrade track to item level 447, allowing players to increase their power even further! Only items looted from specific content will have this upgrade track available to them, and there are only three tiers to the Myth upgrade track: 441 [1], 444 [2], and 447 [3]. So, what does this mean? This means that for an item to be eligible for the upgrade track it needs to be created at a 441 or 444 item level. Only items that come from the first five mythic raid bosses, or weekly great vault rewards from a 16-19 mythic+ key will drop on the Myth track. Players will need to use Aspect’s Shadowflame Crests to upgrade these pieces. If you have a higher item level item in the slot of the piece you’re trying to upgrade, the current material discount rules will be applied.
More-over this change will be a retroactive one. This means that any items looted during season 2, under the criteria mentioned above, will be upgradeable come 10.1.5. An example of an item that will be upgradeable in the new patch can be seen below.

One additional PTR note for the week:
ITEMS AND REWARDS
- Gear created at item level 441 or 444 can now be upgraded using the new Myth upgrade track instead of being above the upgrade system entirely.
- The Myth track is a new track that goes from 441 (Myth 1/3) to 444 (Myth 2/3) to 447 (Myth 3/3). Gear cannot be upgraded above Myth 3/3.
- This change is retroactive for all gear obtained in Season 2. Any Season 2 gear that was created at item level 441, 444, or 447 will now display its upgrade level along the Myth track and can be upgraded at any item upgrade vendor.
- Upgrading gear along the Myth track requires Flightstones and an Aspect’s Shadowflame Crest for each upgrade. The usual discount rules apply here (if the character has a higher level piece of gear in the same slot, no crest is needed; if any character on the account has a higher level piece of gear in the same slot the Flightstone cost will be halved).
