World of Warcraft - Item Upgrading
item upgrades upgrading allows players to increase an item's gear score up to 700 and add an additional perk. Items can be upgraded by having them in inventory before heading to the kiln.
Certain items can be upgraded to benefit from their unique stats (like an ideally rolled breakpoint armour used in melee PvP) and others, like weapons, don't change much post upgrade and thus aren't worth upgrading.
Weapons
Upgrades to weapons can boost their numerical stats, like attack damage, crit chance and PvE/PvP damage. Weapons have a flat-rate bonus that increases damage per second. Additionally, many weapons have a set bonus that activates when three or more of the same weapon is present on a unit. This bonus can sometimes be more than the damage that an upgrade can do on its own.
A weapon's upgrade costs depend on the quality of the weapon and its current level. For instance, a +2 weapon will require two regular Smithing Stones to upgrade while an upgrade of +3 requires four. The number of stones needed to upgrade a weapon will continue to rise until it requires an upgrade to a higher level of Smithing Stones, at which the number will be reset to one.
Upgrading weapons will also reroll their base stats. This is generally a positive factor, but it could also have negative effects. Upgrades can render items impossible to use, unless you are extremely lucky.
It is possible to upgrade armor items to boost their effectiveness. For example, if you upgrade a helm or chest, it will boost its defense base while gloves and belts increase their strength and dexterity. Armor also offers an option to reroll its Enhanced Defense%, meaning that it can sometimes reroll to a lower value.
The upgrade template for a weapon shows the new stats it will gain upon upgrading, along with their relative values. This means that the weapon will gain 3% attack damage if it is upgraded from an 8 attack damage sword to an 11 attack damage sword. However the 3% difference doesn't mean that it will hit for 3 times less often as it is an absolute number.
A weapon can be rerolled by pressing the green button with circling arrows in the Best item upgrade menu. This will roll an item and change its statistics, but not reset the weapon's levels or connect it to an account's status.
Armor
Making a few improvements to your armor can make a an enormous difference in your ability to endure. Certain sets offer massive increases in resistance to curses, poisons and fire as well as magic. This can make it easier to get through difficult areas. In general, the greater defense your character has the more value you will get from each point of health and it's crucial to improve your armor as often as you can.
To improve your armor, head to any of the Great Fairy Fountains in the game. There are four of them, and each requires you to complete a special side quest that involves the Stable Trotters musical troupe. After you've completed the main side quest and mastered the fountain that corresponds and then you can 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 material and Rupees required for each will vary. In general, you'll need at anywhere between three Red Chuchu jellies and 10 Rupees for the initial upgrade, and then anywhere from five Rubies and ten Fire-Breath Lizalfos Horns for each subsequent one. For instance, the Champion Leathers can be upgraded to +5 defense, which allows you to keep up with a large group of adversaries in most cold climates and the Snowquill Headdress can be upgraded up to +20 defense, granting you enough protection to withstand an entire raid with a handful of friends.
You can't upgrade your armor the same as weapons. If you're playing as a Warrior, you should focus on upgrading your armor for physical strength or the power of spells. It's also a good idea to save your armor upgrades for the armor you'll still be wearing at the end of the game, such as the Ring of Lightning and Spectral Shield or the helmet you wear to fight the final boss as well as the Monter Parts merchant's mask.
You can also gain advantages to your armor by presenting the jeweler in Gerudo Town 10 Twinkling Titanite. In general, you should save these upgrades for the weapon you'll be using to win the game, like the Longsword, Battleaxe or Warhammer however, it could be useful to have a few upgrades of the chest armor and helmets to allow you to stealth around certain monsters.
Potions
Potions are liquid substances that, if consumed, give the player the illusion of status for a few minutes. There are five different types of potions, each with a specific set of effects and durations. Certain potions can be upgraded to increase their level of effectiveness. You can also increase the effects of certain potions by adding glowstone dust and redstone.
Potion upgrades cost a specific amount of XP. These can be earned by crafting them on a crafting table or the chest of the Alchemist. The upgrade price varies depending on the type of potion used and the item upgrader mod's Rarity and 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 lets you select the potion you want to upgrade and the amount of experience they'll provide when upgraded. Upgrading potions can be done in batches of up to five at a single time, and the XP that they generate will be added to your current XP level.
Once a potion is upgraded, it will not degrade until you use it again or break the bottle it is stored in. Clicking on the potion in your inventory will allow you to change its name.
There were some changes to potion mechanics in version 1.7.2. Splash potions, for instance, now have a duration 0:08 instead of the 22.5 seconds shown on the hover display of the item upgrader kit. The table of potion constructed from four Wood Planks, and two Glass. It can be used in both Survival and Bedrock. In contrast to the Java Edition, Bedrock edition potions can't be mixed in cauldrons. Additionally, using a potentio in a cauldron that is full drains the potion and replenishes the bottle.
Finally, there are simmering potions that are made with dragon breath and splash potions. Similar to lingering potions, the' effect is extended by adding redstone to it. The table of potions is arranged more like the Java Edition, and new potions were introduced, including potion of leaping, potion of decomposition, and turtle master potions.
Trinkets
A trinket is a tiny and cheap ornament or piece of jewelry. It can also refer to an object or ornament that serves a function but is not important, like a trinket. In some cultures a trinket is a way to express friendship or affection between family members.
In addition to weapons, armor and potions, players are able to upgrade their trinkets. Upgrades can be purchased by paying the appropriate currency to an upgrade vendor. As with other upgrades to items trinkets are able to be swapped out at will without losing their status.
The upgrade vendors are found in major cities and 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 new ones. You can upgrade a trinket for as little 12 tokens. The new trinket will come with the same base ilvl of the previous one, and will come with an additional upgrade bonus of 1.
When the old Trinkets are not usable they can be upgraded. This allows players 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 means that the top-in slot items for each class are upgraded first then their secondary gear and other equipment that they won't replace in the near future (such as an earring or a cloak). When choosing which items to upgrade, players should also be aware of their class's preferred statistics. If Haste and Crit are two of the most important stats for a tank player, then they should upgrade their helm, chest and shoulders.
After they've become unusable, trinkets can be upgraded to a greater level. The upgraded trinket will give you an additional bonus of 1. However, a re-upgrade is likely to ruin the previous trinket until it is salvaged using the Black Lion Salvage Kit or an alternative salvage tool that is higher-end. Upgrades to trinkets can be more expensive than other upgrades, but still cheaper than buying a new one.
