World of Warcraft - Item Upgrading
Item upgrading allows players to boost the gear score of an item upgrade to 700, and then add an additional perk. Items can be upgraded if they are in your inventory and you decide to take them to the kiln.
Certain items can be upgraded to increase their stats (like an ideally rolled breakpoint armour used in melee PvP) while other items, such as weapons do not change significantly after an upgrade and thus aren't worth upgrading.
Weapons
Upgrades to weapons can increase their numerical stats, such as attack damage, crit probability and PvE/PvP damage. Weapons come with a flat-rate bonus that increases damage per second. In addition, many weapons have a set bonus that activates when three or more of the same weapon are present on a unit. This bonus can sometimes 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 instance, a +2 weapon will require two regular Smithing Stones to upgrade while a +3 requires four. The number of stones needed to upgrade the gun will increase until it requires an upgrade to a higher level of Smithing Stones. At that point it will reset to one.
Upgrades to weapons can also change the stats of the base. While this is generally beneficial, it can have some negative consequences too. Upgrades can render items inaccessible, unless you're exceptionally lucky.
Upgrades can be made to armor items to increase their effectiveness. For instance, if you have chests or helms it will boost its defense base while gloves and belts enhance their required strength and dexterity. Armor also offers an option to reroll its Enhanced Defense percent, which means that it could roll back to a lower number.
The upgrade template for a weapon shows the new stats that it will gain when upgraded, along with their respective values. This means that an upgrade from a sword with 8 damage to an 11-attack-damage sword would result in a weapon gaining an attack damage of 3. The 3% does not mean that the weapon will be hit three times less, since it is an absolute number.
Rerolling a weapon is also possible by pressing the green button in the item menu using the circling arrows. This will reroll the item upgrader mod and alter its stats but it won't reset the weapon's levels or tie it to the account status.
Armor
Making a few improvements to your armor could make a a huge difference in your capacity to withstand. Certain sets can offer massive improvements in the resistance to poison, curses fire, magic, and other. This makes it easier to navigate difficult terrains. In general, the greater defense you have on your character, the greater health you'll get from each point. Therefore, it is recommended to upgrade your armor.
You can upgrade your armor by visiting one of the Great Fairy Fountains. There are four Great Fairy Fountains in the game, and to unlock each one you must complete an additional quest that involves the Stable Trotters. Once you've done the main side quest and have completed the corresponding fountain, you can then talk to any Great Fairy to open up the menu for upgrading your armor.
Each piece of armor can be upgraded up to three levels, and the amount of materials and Rupees needed for each level will differ. You'll need anywhere from three Red Chuchu jelly and 10 Rupees to upgrade the first armor piece, and anywhere between five Rubies or 10 Fire-Breath Horns to upgrade the next one. For instance the Champion Leathers could be upgraded to +5 defense, which allows you to keep up with a large group of enemies in most cold climates and the Snowquill Headdress can be upgraded up to +20 defense, providing the protection needed to survive the full-on assault with a handful of friends.
You can't upgrade your armor in the same way as weapons. If you're playing as a Warrior it is best to focus on upgrading your armor for physical strength or the power of spells. It is recommended to save your armor upgrades to upgrade the armor you will still be wearing 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.
By giving the jeweler 10 Twinkling Titanite in Gerudo Town in Gerudo Town, you can unlock perks for your armor. You'll typically want to keep these upgrades for the weapon that you'll use to beat the game. For example the Longsword or Battleaxe. It's nevertheless beneficial to have a few upgrades to the chest armor and helmets to let you escape some monsters.
Potions
Potions are liquid substances that, if consumed, give the player an effect on their status for a short period of time. There are five kinds of potions that have different effects and durations. Some potions can be upgraded, enhancing the effectiveness of their effects. You can also increase the effects of certain potions by adding glowstone dust and redstone.
Potion upgrades require a certain amount of XP. This can be obtained through crafting them on a crafting table or by placing them in the Alchemist chest. The upgrade price varies depending on the type of potion as well as the item's rarity as well as Mark Level.
To upgrade a potions simply right-click on it in your inventory. Then, select "Upgrade" from the menu. This will open an GUI that allows you to select the potion you would like to upgrade and the amount of experience they will give you when upgraded. You can upgrade potions in batches up to five at once, and their XP will be added to the total XP you currently have.
Once a poton is upgraded, it will not degrade in the event that you make use of it again or break the bottle within the container it is stored. You can also rename the potion by clicking it in your inventory.
Version 1.7.2 introduced a few modifications to the mechanism of potions. Splash potions, for example are now available with a time of that is 0:08 instead of 22.5 seconds displayed on the hover display for the item. The table for potion can now be constructed using four Wood Planks and two Glass. This allows it to be used by players in Survival and Bedrock. Unlike the Java Edition, Bedrock edition potions can't be used in cauldrons. Additionally, using a potentio on a full cauldron drains the liquid and replenishes the bottle.
In addition, there are lingering potions that are made using dragon breath and splash potions. Redstone can also be added to lingering potions to extend their effect. The table of potions has been rearranged to look more like the Java Edition. New potions have also been added such as the potion of leaping and decomposition.
Trinkets
A trinket could be an ornament that is small and inexpensive or piece jewelry. It could be a reference to an object or decoration that serves a function but is not particularly important, such as a tiny thimble. In certain cultures, a trinket is used to signify friendship or affection, especially between family members.
In addition to armor, weapons, and potions, players can upgrade their trinkets. They can be upgraded by visiting an upgrade vendor and paying the appropriate currency. As with other upgrades to items trinkets, trinkets can be swapped out at will without losing their status.
The upgrade vendors are found in major cities and in the capital of each zone, and in some cases, dungeons. Upgrades for trinkets are available with tokens, gold, or fragments from trinkets that are rare.
Upgrades to trinkets are an affordable alternative to buying an entirely new one. You can upgrade their trinket for as little as 12 tokens. The new trinket will have the same base ilvl of the previous one, and will have an additional 1% upgrade bonus.
Once the old Trinkets have become no longer usable they can be upgraded. This allows a player to increase both their power and value over time. They can also be traded between players which makes them an attractive alternative to gold.
Players should upgrade their most important items first. This usually means the Best item upgrade-in-slot items for their class, then their secondary items and finally, other gear items that they will not be replacing soon (for example, a ring or cloak). When choosing the items to upgrade, players must also be aware of the preferred statistics of their class. For instance, if Haste and Crit are the two most important stats for tankers, they should be focusing on upgrading their chest, helm shoulders, belt, and chest.
Trinkets can be upgraded to a higher ilvl once they are no longer useful, and the new trinket will receive an additional bonus of 1% for upgrading. However, a re-upgrade can cause the trinket to be destroyed in the event that it is not saved using a Black Lion Salvage Kit or an additional salvage tool of higher quality. This means upgrading trinkets is more expensive than other upgrades, however it is still less expensive than buying a new one.
