World of Warcraft Item Upgrades
The upgrade of items is a crucial aspect of preparing your character. Upgrades increase the damage of your item and enhancements.
They also offer bonuses and enhancements. They can be purchased from the Blacksmith.
Players can recycle any item upgrade by pressing the upgrade button on it. Each recycled item upgrade adds one level to the gauge for upgrading.
Weapon
When the weapon is upgraded it gains an initial damage bonus and an increase in the scaling factor that affects other stats. Some upgrade components have cosmetic effects and others provide additional benefits. These upgrades can be added to weapons, armors trinkets, gathering tools and trinkets. Most require that the equipment has an upgrade slot available and that it meets certain specifications. The upgrade component can be removed from a weapon, armor or trinket, however it will not be replaced. (Except for legendary equipment). Upgrade components can be recovered by using the Black Lion Salvage Kit Ascended Salvage tool, or a high-tier salvaging tool on an Best Item Upgrade.
In addition to the normal upgrades, a weapon may be upgraded by adding an attribute called Calibration that increases certain stats like Weakspot Damage or Crit Rate. This is accomplished through the Gear Workbench interaction menu. Based on the level of the weapon the process can be repeated up to four times.
When the weapon reaches its maximum level of improvement and is then reforged to add different bonuses and effects, or to improve specific stats. These upgrades can be applied at once, and their effects will differ based on how rare the weapon is.
There are two Blacksmiths in the game who can perform these upgrades: Blacksmith Hewg in the Church of Elleh hub area as well as Smithing Master Iji on the Road to the Manor Site of Grace. Both require different upgrade materials: Smithing Stones for standard weapons and Somber Smithing Stones to alter the damage a weapon deals.
Generally, it is advised to improve weapon damage first, followed by armour defense, then the other secondary stats as required by your build.

This is particularly relevant for enchantments that increase a weapon's stats as well as damage.
Armor
Item upgrades allow players to improve the base stats of certain armor pieces, weapons, trinkets and gathering tools.

The majority of armor upgrades boost the item upgrade's strength or defense by a small amount. However, some upgrade components can give significant enhancements to strength or defense, especially when upgrading an epic item.
In addition to increasing the base defense of an item, a few upgrades also give specific abilities that can be activated while wearing a piece of armor. These abilities can prove useful in combat. For instance they can boost the speed of attack or block. Certain upgrades also have passive effects, like cutting down on the amount of damage that is taken when wearing armor, or giving you a the chance to avoid attacks.
Depending on the type of armor being used, upgrading an item could require several tries. If a player wishes to upgrade Steelclash armor into Dragonscale, then the first attempt will result in a brand new Dragonscale armor with an armor base defense of 59-67. The second attempt will result in an Dragonscale armor that has an initial defense range of between 67-77.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild lets players upgrade their armor sets to level 4. To do so players must visit each of the four locations referred to as Great Fairy Fountains in the game. Each of these locations is home to an incredibly powerful fairy who can upgrade a piece of armor for the player.
Contrary to popular belief, armor in The Division 2 is not useless. Certain armors give a substantial boost to the reduction of damage caused by poison spells, curses, magic or fire. This makes them very useful for certain types of builds. There are other methods to improve armor stats besides upgrading the armor, like using the engineer trait to increase armor penetration or the challenger trait to decrease the weight of the entire armor.
