World of Warcraft - Item Upgrading
The upgrade of an item lets players boost the gear rating of an item up 700 points and also add a final bonus. Items can be upgraded by keeping them in inventory before heading to the kiln.
Certain items are worth upgrading because of their distinctive stats. (For example, a perfectly roll breakpoint armor is used in melee PvP). Other items, like weapons don't change much after an upgrade and aren't worth the cost.
Weapons
Upgrades to weapons can improve their numerical stats, including attack damage, crit probability and PvE/PvP damage. Weapons have a flat-rate bonus that increases damage per second. A lot of weapons also come with a fixed bonus that is activated when three or more identical weapons are placed in a single unit. This bonus may be more than the damage that a weapon upgrade alone can do.
A weapon's upgrade costs depend on the quality of the weapon and its current level. For instance an item with a rating of +2 will require two regular Smithing Stones to upgrade while a +3 requires four. The number of stones required to upgrade a gun will increase until it needs more Smithing Stones. At that point, it will reset back to one.
Upgrades to weapons also reroll the stats of their base. This is usually a positive aspect, but it may also have negative effects. Upgrades can render items unusable, unless you are exceptionally lucky.
The ability to upgrade armor items to boost their performance. For instance, if you have chests or helms this will increase the defense of its base, while gloves and belts will increase their strength and dexterity. Armor offers a rerolling option for its Enhanced Defense%. This means that it may reroll down to a lower value.
The upgrade template of a weapon will show the new stats it will gain after upgrading, as well as the relative values of those stats. This means that a change from a sword that has 8 damage to an 11-attack-damage sword will result in a weapon receiving an attack damage of 3. The 3% difference does not mean that the weapon will hit 3 times less, as it is an absolute number.
Rerolling a weapon is possible by pressing the green button on the item menu using the circling arrows. The item will be rerolled and change its stats, however, it will not reset the weapon's level nor bind to account status.
Armor
Adding a few upgrades to your armor could make a huge differences in your ability to endure. Certain sets can offer MASSIVE boosts to poison or curse, fire or magic resistance, making traversing tough areas a breeze. Generally speaking, the more defense your character is, the more value you get out of each point of health you possess therefore it is important to upgrade your armor as much as you can.
You can upgrade your armor by visiting any of the Great Fairy Fountains. There are four Great Fairy Fountains within the game and in order to unlock each one you have to complete an additional quest involving the Stable Trotters. After you've completed the main side quest and mastered the corresponding fountain, you can then contact any Great Fairy to open up the armor upgrade menu.
Each piece of armor can be upgraded to three levels, and the amount of materials and Rupees needed for each level will differ. In general, you'll need at anything from three to five Red Chuchu jellies and 10 Rupees for the initial upgrade, and anywhere between five Rubies and ten Fire-Breath Lizalfos Horns for each subsequent upgrade. The Champion Leathers, for example, can be upgraded to a 5 defense rating, which allows you to keep up in frigid environments with a lot of adversaries. The Snowquill Headdress, on the other side, can be upgraded to +20 defense to ensure you're able to withstand a rout with your comrades.
You can't upgrade armor like weapons. If you're playing as a Warrior, you should focus on upgrading your armor for physical power or the power of spells. It is recommended to save your armor upgrades to upgrade the armor you'll still wear at the end of the story, like the Ring of Lightning, Spectral Shield or the mask you wear in the final boss fight, the Monter Parts Merchant Mask.
You can also gain perks for your armor by presenting the jeweler at Gerudo Town 10 Twinkling Titanite. You'll typically want to keep these upgrades to the weapon that you'll use to win the game. For instance, the Longsword or Battleaxe. But it's useful to have some upgrades for the chest armor and helmets to allow you to escape some monsters.
Potions
Potions are bottled substances that, when consumed, provide the user with the illusion of status for a few minutes. There are five different types of potions, each with specific effects and durations. Certain potions can be upgraded, increasing their level of effect. You can also enhance the effects of certain potions by adding redstone dust and glowstone dust.
Upgrades to potion require a certain amount of XP. This can be earned by making them on a craft table or by storing them in the Alchemist chest. However, the cost of upgrading changes depending on what type of potion you want to upgrade, as well as on the item's Mark Level as well as its rarity.
To upgrade a potion you need to right-click it in your inventory. Select "Upgrade" from the menu. This will open an GUI that lets you select the potion you wish to upgrade, and the amount of experience they'll provide when upgraded. Upgrades to potions can be made in batches of up to five at a time and the XP they earn will be added to your current XP total.
Once a poton is upgraded in quality, it will not deteriorate in the event that you make use of it again or break the bottle within which it is kept. Clicking on the potion in your inventory will allow you to rename it.
There were a few updates to potion mechanics in version 1.7.2. For example splash potions now have the duration of 0.08 seconds (this is not the same as the 22.5 seconds that are displayed on the hover display for the item). The potion table is now made of four Wood Planks, and two Glass. This allows it to be used by players in Survival and Bedrock. In contrast to the Java Edition, Bedrock edition potions cannot be used in cauldrons. The same applies to the use of a potion in the cauldron that is filled. This will draw out the potion and refill the bottle.
Finally, there are lingering potions that are made using splash and dragon breath potions. Similarly, a lingering potions' effect is extended by adding redstone. The potion table is now laid out more in line with the Java Edition, and new potions were added such as the potion of leaping and the decomposition potion, and turtle master potions.
Trinkets
A trinket is a tiny and affordable ornament or piece of jewelry. It could also be a small ornament or object that serves a function but isn't essential as a Thimble. In certain cultures, a trinket is used to symbolize affection or friendship, particularly between family members.
In addition to armor, weapons, and potions, players can upgrade their trinkets. Upgrades can be obtained by paying the appropriate currency to an upgrade vendor. Unlike other item upgrade s, trinkets can be swapped out at will without losing their status.
The upgrade vendors are located in major cities and in the capital of each zone, as well as in in dungeons. Upgrades for trinkets can be purchased using tokens, gold or fragments of rare trinkets.
The upgrade of a trinket can be an economical alternative to buying a new one. It can be done by the player for as little as 12 tokens. item upgrading will have the same base ilvl as the older one, and come with an additional upgrade bonus of 1.
Once the old Trinkets are no longer usable they can be upgraded. This allows players to increase both their power and value over time. They can be traded among players, making them an alternative to gold.
Players should upgrade their most essential items first. This typically means the top-of-the-line items for their class, then their secondaries, and finally other items of gear they will not be replacing in the near future (for example an earring or cloak). Players should also take into consideration their class's preferred stats when choosing which items to upgrade. If Haste and Crit are two of the most important stats to tank players and they want to upgrade their chest, helm, and shoulders.
Trinkets can be upgraded to a higher level once they're no longer needed and the new trinket will receive an additional bonus of 1% for upgrading. However, a re-upgrade is likely to cause the trinket to be destroyed, unless it is salvaged using the Black Lion Salvage Kit or an alternative salvage tool that is higher-end. Upgrades to trinkets are more expensive than other upgrades, but still less expensive than buying a new one.
