Try to stick to the 25's, but it's not a huge deal. You are entirely right about the bloodshard numbers.

This is up to you, one thing getting way better could put you ahead and start a streak of progression for all you know. In like 20 minutes, haven't gotten one since. I also got 3 of my last 4 items I wanted improved on one of my characters, in a row, upgrading rares. Or you'll end up maybe spending them all on something you ended up getting 4 better options for anyway, while still having 8 items you really want to improve. I'd wait till I want to improve only a handful of items drastically. If you are exhausting supplies continuously then 50 game hours from now you may kick yourself. If you have that already great, but it's best to grind away with drops and bloodshards for a while if you don't.

Yeah, reforging and upgrading rares isn't for new players so much. Of course it may make it worse, entirely random. It disappears when you reforge it, and you then get to change one stat again.
