World of Warcraft - Item Upgrading
item upgrading (mouse click on Click 4r) allows players to increase the gear score of an item to 700 and also add a final perk. Items can be upgraded if they're in your inventory and you decide to take them to the kiln.
Certain items can be upp'd to increase their stats (like a perfectly rolled breakpoint armour used in melee PvP) and others, like weapons, do not vary greatly post upgrade, and therefore aren't worth upgrading.
Weapons
Weapons can be upgraded to boost their numeric stats like the chance to crit, attack damage, PvE and damage to PvP. Weapons also have a flat bonus which increases their damage per second. Additionally there are many weapons with an added bonus that is activated when three or more of the same weapon are present on a unit. In certain instances, this bonus can add up to more than the amount of damage a weapon upgrades by itself.
The cost of upgrading a weapon varies on its rarity and level. For instance 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 needed to upgrade the gun will increase until it requires more Smithing Stones. At that point, it will reset back to one.
The upgrade of weapons can also change their base stats. While this is generally beneficial however, it could have negative effects as well. Upgrades can make things unusable, unless you are exceptionally lucky.
Items of armor can also be upgraded to improve their effectiveness. For example, if you upgrade items a helm or chest, this will increase the defense of its base, while gloves and belts enhance their required strength and dexterity. Armor also has the option of rerolling its Enhanced Defense%, meaning that it may reroll to a lower value.
The upgrade template for a weapon displays the new stats it will get when upgraded, along with their respective values. This means that a 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 3 times less often because it's an absolute statistic.
A weapon can be rerolled by pressing the green button, which is accompanied by circular arrows within the menu for items. This will roll the item and alter its stats, but it won't reset the weapon's level nor bind to account status.
Armor
A few upgrades to your armor can make all the difference to your survivability. Certain sets can offer massive improvements in the resistance to poison, curses, fire, and magic. This can make it easier to traverse difficult terrains. In general, the greater defense you can offer your character, the more health you can get from each point. So, it's best to upgrade your armor.
You can upgrade your armor by visiting any of the Great Fairy Fountains. There are four fountains in all each of which requires you to complete a unique side quest that involves the Stable Trotters musical troupe. After you've completed the main quest and the associated fountains, you can talk to any Great Fairy in order to unlock the menu for upgrading armor.
Each piece of armor can be upgraded to three levels and the amount of material and Rupees required to complete each level will differ. You'll require anything from three Red Chuchu jelly and 10 Rupees to upgrade your first armor piece, and between five Rubies or 10 Fire-Breath Lizalfos Horns to upgrade the next one. The Champion Leathers, for instance can be upgraded to a 5 defense rating, which allows you to stay ahead in frigid conditions with a lot of adversaries. The Snowquill Headdress, on the other hand, can be upgraded to +20 defense, which means you can survive a raid with your friends.
It isn't possible to upgrade armor in the same way as weapons. If you're playing as a Warrior, you should focus on upgrading your armor for physical strength or the power of spells. You should also save your armor upgrades to upgrade the armor you will still be wearing by the end of the story, for example the Ring of Lightning, Spectral Shield or the mask you use in the final boss fight The Monter Parts Merchant Mask.
You can also get some perks for your armor by giving the jeweler in Gerudo Town 10 Twinkling Titanite. In general, you should keep these upgrades for the weapon you'll use to beat the game, such as the Longsword, Battleaxe or Warhammer However, it is useful to have a few upgrades of the chest armor and helmets to let you stealthy battle certain monsters.
Potions
Potions are substances in bottles that, if consumed, give the player the illusion of status for a few minutes. There are five kinds of potions, each with particular effects and durations. Certain potions can be upgraded, enhancing their level of effect. You can also increase the effects of certain potions by including glowstone dust and redstone.
Potion upgrades require a certain amount XP. This can be earned through crafting them on a craft table or by storing them in the Alchemist chest. The price of upgrades will vary based on the type of potion you'd like to upgrade, and also on the item's Mark Level and rarity.
To upgrade a potion you need to right-click it in your inventory. Then, select "Upgrade" from the menu. This will open an GUI that allows you to select the potions that you wish to upgrade, and the amount of experience they'll give you 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 have.
Once a potion is upgraded in quality, it will not deteriorate until you make use of it again or break the bottle in the container it is stored. Clicking on the potion in your inventory will also allow you to rename it.
Version 1.7.2 introduced a few modifications to the way potions are used. For example splash potions now have an average 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 table of potion constructed from four Wood Planks, and two Glass. It is now able to be utilized in both Survival and Bedrock. Bedrock Edition potions are not compatible with cauldrons, unlike Java Edition. This is the same for the use of a potion in a cauldron that is full. This will deplete the potion, and refill the bottle.
Finally, there are lingering potions that are brewed with dragon breath and splash potions. Redstone is also added to lingering potions to enhance their effect. The table of potion ingredients has been rearranged to appear more like the Java Edition. New potions are also added, for instance, the potion of leaping as well as decomposition.
Trinkets
A trinket is a small and cheap ornament or piece of jewelry. It could also refer to a small ornament or object that serves a purpose, but isn't important, like a thimble. In certain cultures, trinkets are used to symbolize affection or friendship, particularly between family members.
Players can upgrade trinkets in addition to weapons or armor, as well as potions. These can be upgraded by visiting an upgrade vendor and paying the appropriate currency. Trinkets like other items which can be upgraded can be traded at will without losing statistics.
Upgrade vendors can be found at the capitals of every zone, and in some instances in dungeons. Upgrades for trinkets are purchased with gold, tokens or fragments of rare trinkets.
Upgrades are a less expensive alternative to buying a new trinket. It can be done by a player for as little as 12 tokens. The new trinket will have the same base ilvl as the previous one, and will include an additional upgrade item bonus of 1.
Once the old Trinkets have become not usable they can be upgraded. This allows a player to increase their power and value with 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, followed by their secondary items and finally, other gear items that they will not be replacing in the near future (for instance, a ring or cloak). It is also important to consider your class's preferred stats when deciding the items to upgrade. For instance when Haste and Crit are the two most important stats for tanks, they should be focusing on upgrading their helm, chest, shoulders, and belt.
After they've become unusable trinkets can be upgraded to a higher level. The new trinket comes with an additional 1% bonus. However, a re-upgrade will destroy the old trinket, unless it is saved using the Black Lion Salvage Kit or a higher-tier salvage tool. This means upgrading trinkets is more expensive than other upgrades, however it is still less expensive than buying a new one.
