WoW Item Upgrades
Item upgrades--more commonly known as "upping"--are enchantments and items that can be incorporated into armor and weapons, increasing their stats. These upgrade items increase the gauge of an item by a specified number of points. Their cost increases depending on their rarity.
A perfectly formed version of this armor is highly prized in the melee PvP community for its ability to limit the damage caused by weapons.
Type-restricted upgrades
Upgrades are a crucial element of the crafting process. Upgrades can be used to increase the effectiveness of an item, enhance its strength, or even give it an added benefit. They can also alter the appearance of an item. Certain upgrades are universal, while others are governed by specific rules for weapons and armor. The wrong upgrade could ruin a excellent weapon, and could even render it unusable.
The general rule is that you can only upgrade an piece of equipment up to the level of the highest-level equipment in its category. You are able to upgrade helms only to the highest level. Weapons can be upgraded to the equivalent of the sword. However, this won't increase the damage output of the weapon and could decrease its value in trade.
To upgrade an item, you must spend flightstones and crests. The amount you pay for each depends on the item upgrader's level and slot. Upgrades to swords, for example will require more flightstones than upgrading an cloth. Also, you can get discounts on the amount of flightstones or crests needed to upgrade an item.
Upgrading an item fills up its diamond-shaped indicator. Each step raises the item's Tier level by one-third. The highest level of Tier is Tier 3. It could take a few upgrades to get to this level, based on the item. It is crucial to remember that any procedures that might mount a disk should not be running during an upgrade. In addition, you need to ensure that the disk being upgraded is not used as a system disk.
Enchantment is a feature which lets you transform white or Common items into rare or blue items. Eleanor's Enchantment Shop, located in the Capital District is where you can do it. This procedure does not add gem or rune slots to the equipment, however, it alters its size. It increases the equipment's size by two categories smaller. For instance the size of the size of a Stormtrooper armor is Medium and the Blaster Pistol Small.
Universal upgrades
Universal upgrades are upgrades that can be made on any kind of equipment. This includes weapons and armor. Upgrade components are available through Random drops or side quests. Universal upgrades can be permanent or temporary and can also be combined with Power-Ups. They can be linear or branching.
Universal Upgrades start when "internal technology" can provide sentient beings new capabilities that are unlikely to develop naturally. Examples of internal technology include implants or prostheses. This kind of upgrade is different from medical internal technology which aims to restore the natural capabilities. Rather, it represents the beginning of an upgrade process that alters civilizations in a fundamentally different way. The universal upgrade may be long and complicated. However the process is divided into two different classes: full success and partial failure.
This is similar to the way that resort upgrades function at Disney and Universal. In the case of WDW the majority of them occur because of operational issues such as rooms being overbooked or not available. In the case Universal, it could be to move guests to another resort that is open. This is not intended to be rude however it can be unavoidable in the current climate.
Universal upgrades can be utilized on any kind of equipment. They can also be applied to multiple items at once. This makes them more versatile than other types of upgrades. However, this flexibility may cause problems when upgrading items within the same gear path since it will increase the item level of all pieces in that path.
Before you upgrade, it is essential to stop the PowerShell Universal service and delete the application files that are already in use. Then you can install the new files by using the GetChildItem-Recurse command or Unblock-File. To ensure that your PSU server is operating properly it is also recommended to perform an initial verification.
Jewels
Jewels are upgrades that can be put into weapons, armor and accessories. They offer varying stat bonuses and other effects based on the gemstone and reagent that is used to make them. They can be found in Golden Chests, Rift Incursions, V Blood Carriers and other regular enemies, or can be bought from a Master Craftsman for gold or karma. Jewels can also be crafted on a jewelry table with one gem and five of the same type of reagent to create a jewel that is of a lower or higher level; this procedure is similar to upgrading a gemstone using a gemcrafting table.
Jewel Tiers are determined by the number of modifiers that they possess. Jewels of higher tiers are more modifiers than lower-tier jewels. The primary effect is determined by the jewel's tier. The secondary effect is random. Players can make use of luck potions in order to increase their chances of receiving better secondary effects.
Like other upgrade components jewels can be inserted into an item upgrader mod using an appropriate socket to boost it. A Garnet Jewel and a Garnet Stone both boost the strength of an item upgrade, but a Garnet Jewel also boosts a player's ability to strike with force. Jewels can be found in all weapon, armor and accessory slots. They can also be used with some exotic trinkets, or trinkets of lower rarity that require the use of a slot.
As with other DM mechanics, gems can help to keep items feeling special to their owners. Jewels offer a variety upgrade paths that allow players to personalize and find the best combination for them. They can upgrade their equipment by purchasing new gems if they feel the existing set is no longer appropriate.
Requirements
The item upgrades in WoW allows players to increase the level of their weapons, equipment, and trinkets from their current level of item using specific Mists Of Pandaria or Warlords of Draenor resources. These upgrades increase item stats and some even have special effects. (For instance Dolphin's grace grants swimmers dolphin-like grace). Players can obtain these upgrades at any upgrader NPC, or by rescuing them from items that contain them, with a variety of items dropping different upgrade components.
The process of upgrading can be a bit complicated however, it's a simple process. The player selects the item he wants to upgrade, and then clicks on the Upgrade button. A window will pop up with the various upgrades available for this item. This window will show the upgrade level, any type of upgrade bonus (such as Tech Points or Quality Chance) and the cost of the upgrade. The bonus for upgrading will be shown below the bar which shows the upgrade level.
The upgrader will require the user to bring the item to the upgrader, who will explain how to upgrade the item. The player must then supply the correct currency and, if required additional materials. These requirements are determined by the item's level. Weapons are more stringent when opposed to armor.
In addition to the necessary upgrade components, many upgrade recipes have an acceptable materials list. This list shows what other upgrade components are available on the item, and includes a flag indicating whether that item can be guaranteed to boost or additional effect. This is important because the value of an upgrade could differ greatly based on its 'extras. For instance an item that is properly rolled could be worth much more than the non-upgraded version.
The list of upgrades that require valorstones or crests will be shown in a separate list below the main list. The crests and valorstones required depend on the level of the item that is required, with weapon upgrades requiring the most Valorstones.
