World of Warcraft - Item Upgrading
The item upgrader kit upgrade lets players boost an item's gear rating up to 700 points and add a final bonus. Items can be upgraded by having them in inventory, and then taking them to the kiln.
Certain items are worth upgrading because of their unique stats. (For instance an excellently roll breakpoint armor is used in melee PvP). Other items like weapons aren't changed much after an upgrade and therefore aren't worth the effort.
Weapons
Upgrades to weapons can improve their numerical stats, like attack damage, crit chance, and PvE/PvP damage. Weapons come with 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 equipped in a group. This bonus could exceed the damage that an upgrade alone can cause.
The cost of upgrading a weapon is based on the quality of the weapon and its current level. For example an item upgrades 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 weapon will continue increase until it requires an upgrade to a higher level of Smithing Stones, at which the amount will be reset to one.
Upgrades to weapons will also alter the stats of their base. This is usually a good thing, but it can also have negative consequences. In the case of items that are only used in a certain build (Whistant's shield for FB Sorcs, for example), upgrading them may render them useless unless you get a fortunate roll.
Armor items can be upgraded to improve their effectiveness. For instance, if you have a helm or chest, this will increase its base defense while a belt and gloves will improve their required strength and dexterity. Armor has a rerolling option for its Enhanced Defense percent. This means that it may reduce its value.
The upgrade template of a weapon will show the new stats that it will gain upon upgrading, as well as the relative value of those stats. This means that a weapon will gain 33% attack damage when it is upgraded from an 8 attack damage sword to an 11 attack damage sword. However, the 3% doesn't mean that it will hit for 3 fewer times because it's an absolute statistic.
A weapon can also be rerolled by pressing the green button, which is accompanied by arrows that circle in the menu for items. This will reroll the item and alter its stats, but it won't reset the weapon's level or tie it to the account status.
Armor
Making a few improvements to your armor could make a an enormous difference in your ability to endure. Certain sets can offer massive improvements in the resistance to poison, curses fire, magic, and other. This makes it easier to traverse difficult terrains. In general, the greater defense your character has, the more value you can get from every point of health you have and it's crucial 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 in the game and to unlock each one you must complete a side quest that involves the Stable Trotters. After you've completed the main side quest and mastered the fountain in question and then you can contact any Great Fairy to open up the armor upgrading menu.
The amount of material needed to upgrade each piece of armor will vary. In general, you'll need at anything from three to five Red Chuchu Jellies and ten Rupees for the initial upgrade, and then anywhere from five Rubies and ten Fire-Breath Lizalfos Horns for each subsequent one. For example the Champion Leathers can be upgraded to +5 defense, which allows you to keep up with a decent-sized group of adversaries in most cold climates and the Snowquill Headdress can be upgraded up to +20 defense, providing you enough protection to survive an entire raid with a few of your friends.
You can't upgrade your armor the same as weapons. If you're playing as a Warrior then you should concentrate on upgrading your armor to increase physical power or spell power. You should also save your armor upgrades to upgrade the armor that you'll still wear by the end of the story, like the Ring of Lightning, Spectral Shield or the mask you'll wear in the final boss fight, the Monter Parts Merchant Mask.
By giving the jeweler 10 Twinkling Titanite in Gerudo Town and you will be able to unlock perks for your armor. You'll typically want to keep these upgrades to the weapon 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 let you get around a few monsters.
Potions
Potions are liquid substances that, when consumed give the user an effect on their status for a short period of time. There are five kinds of potions, each having particular effects and durations. Some potions can be upgraded to increase their level of effectiveness. You can also increase the effects of certain potions by adding redstone dust and glowstone dust.
Potion upgrades cost a specific amount of XP. This can be earned by crafting them using a craft table or in the Alchemist's chest. The upgrade price varies depending on the type of potion as well as the item's Rarity and Mark Level.
To upgrade a potion to the next level, right-click on it in your inventory and choose the "Upgrade" option from the menu. This will open a GUI that allows you to select the potion you wish to upgrade, and the amount of experience they will provide when upgraded. You can upgrade potions in batches of up to five at a time, and their XP will be added to the total XP you currently have.
Once a potion is upgraded and stored, it will not degrade unless you take it out again or break the bottle within which it is stored. You can also rename the potion by clicking on it in your inventory.
There were some changes to the mechanics of potions in version 1.7.2. For instance splash potions now have an average duration of 0.08 seconds (this is not the same as 22.5 seconds that are displayed on the hover display of the item). The table of potion can now be made using four Wood Planks and two Glass. This allows it to be used by players in Survival and Bedrock. Bedrock Edition potions are not compatible with cauldrons like Java Edition. Similarly, using a potion in a cauldron that is full drains the potion and refills the bottle.
Lastly, there are now lingering potions, which are made with dragon breath and splash potions. Similar to lingering potions, the' effect is extended by adding redstone. The potion table has been rearranged to appear more like the Java Edition. New potions have also been added, such as the potion of leaping as well as decomposition.
Trinkets
A trinket could be an ornament that is small and inexpensive or piece of jewelry. It may also refer to an object or decoration that serves a purpose, but is not particularly important like a thimble. In some cultures a trinket can be used to show affection or friendship between family members.
Players can upgrade trinkets in addition to weapons, armor, and potions. Upgrades can be purchased by paying the appropriate currency to an upgrade vendor. Unlike other item upgrades, trinkets can be swapped out at will without losing their status.
Upgrade vendors can be found at the capitals of each zone and in some cases in dungeons. Upgrades for trinkets can be purchased using tokens, gold or fragments of a rare trinket.
Upgrading a trinket is an economical alternative to buying new ones. It can be done by a player for as little as 12 tokens. The new trinket has the same level of base as the old trinket, but it also comes with an additional 1% bonus upgrade.
When the old Trinkets are not usable, they can be upgraded. This allows a player to increase their power and value over time. They can also be traded between players and are a popular alternative to gold.
Players should upgrade their most essential items first. This usually refers to the most valuable-in-slot items for their class, followed by their secondaries and then other items of gear they won't replace in the near future (for example, a ring or cloak). Players should also consider their class's preferred stats when choosing the items to upgrade. If Haste and Crit are two of the most important stats to tank players then they should consider upgrading their helm, chest and shoulders.
Trinkets are able to be upgraded to a higher ilvl once they're no longer needed and the new trinket will receive an additional 1% upgrade bonus. Re-upgrading can cause damage to the trinket unless it is salvaged with a Black Lion Salvage Kit, or a salvage tool. Upgrades to trinkets can be more expensive than other upgrades, but still cheaper than buying an entirely new trinket.
