World of Warcraft - Item Upgrading
The
item upgrades upgrade lets players boost the gear rating of an item up 700 points and also add a bonus. Items can be upgraded by keeping them in inventory and heading to the kiln.
Certain items can be upgraded to increase their stats (like perfect rolled breakpoint armour used in melee PvP) while others like weapons do not vary greatly post upgrade and thus aren't worth upgrading.
Weapons
Weapons can be upgraded to improve their numeric stats, such as crit chance, attack damage, PvE and damage to PvP. Weapons also come with an unchanging bonus that increases their damage per second. In addition some weapons come with a set bonus which is activated when three or more of the same weapon are equipped on a unit. In certain instances, this bonus could amount to more than the amount of damage that a weapon can sustain on its own.
The cost of upgrading a weapon varies on its rarity as well as its current level. For instance, an upgrade to a +2 weapon requires two regular Smithing Stones 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 reroll the stats of their base. While this is generally beneficial however, it could have negative effects as well. Upgrades can render items inaccessible, unless you're exceptionally lucky.
It is possible to upgrade armor items to improve their effectiveness. For instance, if you have chests or helms it will boost its base defense while a belt and gloves will enhance their required strength and dexterity. Armor also offers an option to reroll its Enhanced Defense percent, which means that it may roll back to a lower number.
The upgrade template of a weapon will display the new stats that it will gain when upgrading, along with the relative values of those stats. This means that a weapon will gain an attack damage of 3% if it is upgraded from an 8 attack damage sword to an 11 attack damage sword. However the 3% does not mean that it will be hit for 3 fewer times, since it is an absolute number.
A weapon can also be rerolled using the green button with circling arrows in the
item upgrades menu. The
item upgrader mod will be rerolled and change its stats, but it won't reset the weapon's levels or connect to the status of your account.
Armor
A few upgrades to your armor can make the world of difference to your survivability. Certain sets offer massive increases in poison or curse, fire or magic resistance, which makes the journey through difficult terrain a breeze. In general, the more defense you have on your character, the greater health you can get from each point. Therefore, it is recommended to upgrade your armor.
You can upgrade your armor by visiting any of the Great Fairy Fountains. There are four of them, and each requires you to complete a unique side quest involving the Stable Trotters musical troupe. After you've completed your main quest and the corresponding fountains, you'll be able to talk to any Great Fairy in order to unlock the menu for upgrading armor.
The amount of materials required to upgrade each piece of armor will differ. In general, you'll need at anywhere between three Red Chuchu jellies and 10 Rupees for the initial upgrade, and anywhere between five Rubies and ten Fire-Breath Lizalfos Horns for each subsequent one. For instance the Champion Leathers could be upgraded to +5 defense, allowing you to keep pace with a large group of adversaries in most cold climates and the Snowquill Headdress can be upgraded up to +20 defense, providing you enough protection to survive a full on raid with a few of your friends.
It isn't possible to upgrade armor like weapons. If you're playing as a Warrior it is best to focus on upgrading your armor for physical power or spell power. It's also worth saving your armor upgrades for armor you'll be wearing at the end of the game, like the Ring of Lightning and Spectral Shield or the helmet you use for the final boss fight, the Monter Parts Merchant's mask.
You can also unlock some perks for your armor by giving the jeweler in Gerudo Town 10 Twinkling Titanite. Generally, you'll want to 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 some improvements to the chest armor and helmets that let you stealthy battle certain monsters.
Potions
Potions are liquid substances that, when consumed provide the user with the illusion of status for a few minutes. There are five different types of potions, each having particular effects and durations. Some potions can be upgraded to increase their effectiveness. Alternatively, the effects of some potions can be enhanced by adding redstone or glowstone dust them.
Potion upgrades cost a specific amount of XP. These can be earned by crafting them on a table or in an Alchemist's chest. The price of upgrades changes depending on what type of potion you'd like to upgrade, and also on the
item level upgrade's Mark Level as well as its rarity.
To upgrade a potion to the next level, right-click on it in your inventory and choose the "Upgrade" option from the menu. This opens a GUI where you can choose the potions you wish to upgrade and the amount of XP they will yield when upgraded. The upgrade of potions can be completed in batches of up to five at a single time, and the XP they earn will be added to your current XP level.
Once a poton is upgraded and stored, it will not degrade until you take it out again or break the bottle in which it is kept. You can also change the name of the potion by clicking on it in your inventory.
Version 1.7.2 introduced a few modifications to the mechanism of potions. 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 of the
item level upgrade). The table of potion can now be made using four Wood Planks and two Glass. This allows it to be utilized by players playing Survival and Bedrock. Bedrock Edition potions are not compatible with cauldrons like Java Edition. Additionally, using a potentio in a cauldron that is full drains the liquid and refills the bottle.
Lastly, there are now lingering potions, which are brewed with splash and dragon breath potions. Similar to lingering potions, the' effect is extended by adding redstone to it. The potion table 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 a small, inexpensive ornament or piece jewelry. It can also refer to a small ornament or object that serves a function but isn't essential such as a Thimble. In some cultures, a trinket is used to symbolize affection or friendship, particularly between family members.
In addition to armor, weapons and potions, players are able to upgrade their trinkets. They can be upgraded by visiting an upgrade vendor and paying the appropriate amount in currency. Unlike other
item upgrades trinkets, trinkets can be exchanged 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 are offered with gold, tokens, or fragments from 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 old one, and will include an additional upgrade bonus of 1.
Once the old Trinkets are no longer usable they can be upgraded. This allows players to increase their power and value over time. They can be traded among players, making them an alternative to gold.
Players must upgrade their most valuable items first. This means that the most-important slot items for each class are upgraded first before their secondary gear and finally other equipment that they will not replace anytime soon (such as a ring or an cloak). It is also important to consider your class's preferred stats when selecting which items to upgrade. For instance If Haste and Crit are the two most important stats for a tank, they should prioritize upgrading their helm, chest, shoulders, and belt.
After they've become unusable trinkets are able to be upgraded to a greater level. The new trinket comes with an additional 1percent bonus. However, a re-upgrade can ruin the previous trinket until it is saved using the Black Lion Salvage Kit or an alternative salvage tool that is higher-end. This means upgrading trinkets is more expensive than other upgrades, yet is still less expensive than buying a new one.
