Tier armor pieces will be receiving a boost to its item level in a separate hotfix that's currently undergoing testing.

I'd really love to know why changing a couple integers for items' level requires testing. I'm not being a jerk here or calling you guys incompetent. I'm legitimately curious how and why this could cause problems that need testing.

All hotfixes that affects the live game requires testing. Even seemingly simple things (it's not that simple) like changing a couple of integers requires testing to ensure that all the tier items are indeed being increased by 5 item levels and not something wacky like 50 item levels, the set bonuses still work, and so on.

Tier pieces have been upgraded

But what about Stone of Fire?

It'll take just a little longer. Stone of Fire will be receiving a boost to its item level as well.
