World of Warcraft -
Item UpgradingItem upgrading allows players to increase the gear score of an
item upgrading up to 700, and then add a final perk. Items can be upgraded by keeping them in inventory, and then taking them to the kiln.
Certain items can be upp'd for their unique stats (like perfect broken point armour that is rolled for melee PvP) and 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 like damage to attack, crit chance as well as PvE and PvP damage. Weapons also come with a flat bonus that increases their damage per second. A lot of weapons also have a fixed bonus that is activated when three or more identical weapons are used in a group. This bonus may be more than the damage a weapon upgrade can do on its own.
The cost of upgrading a weapon is contingent on its rarity and current level. For instance, an upgrade to a +2 weapon requires two regular Smithing Stones while a+3 requires four. The number of stones required to upgrade a weapon will continue to increase until it requires the higher level of Smithing Stones, at which the amount will be reset to one.
Upgraded weapons can also alter their base stats. This is usually a positive aspect, but it may also have negative effects. Upgrades can render items inaccessible, unless you're extremely lucky.
It is possible to upgrade armor items to boost their performance. For instance, if you have chests or helms, this will increase the defense of its base, while a belt and gloves will increase their strength and dexterity. Armor also has an option to reroll its Enhanced Defense%, meaning that it may roll back to a lower number.
The
upgrade items template of a weapon will show the new stats that it will gain after upgrading, as well as the values of these stats. This means that a change from a sword that has 8 damage to an 11-attack-damage sword will result in a weapon receiving an attack damage of 3. The 3% does not mean that the weapon will be hit three times less, since it is an absolute number.
Rerolling a weapon is possible by pressing the green button in the item menu using the arrows that are circling. This will roll the item and alter its stats, but it won't reset the weapon's level or tie it to the account status.
Armor
A few tweaks to your armor can make a an enormous difference in your capacity to withstand. Certain sets can offer massive increases in resistance to curses, poison, fire, and magic. This makes it easier to navigate difficult terrains. In general, the more defense you can offer your character, the more health you can get from each point. Therefore, it's a good idea to upgrade your armor.
You can upgrade your armor by visiting any of the Great Fairy Fountains. There are four Great Fairy Fountains within the game and in order to unlock each one you have to complete an additional quest involving the Stable Trotters. Once you've done the main side quest and mastered the fountain in question, you can then 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 materials and Rupees needed for each will vary. In general, you'll be looking at anywhere between three Red Chuchu Jellies and ten Rupees for the initial upgrade, then anywhere between five Rubies and 10 Fire-Breath Lizalfos Horns for each subsequent one. For instance, the Champion Leathers can be upgraded to +5 defense, which allows you to keep pace with a decent-sized group of enemies in the majority of cold environments and the Snowquill Headdress can be upgraded up to +20 defense, providing you enough protection to survive an entire raid with a few friends.
You can't upgrade armor in the same way as weapons. If you're playing as a Warrior it is best to focus on upgrading your armor for physical strength or the power of spells. You should also save your armor upgrades to upgrade the armor that you'll still be wearing at the end of the story, like the Ring of Lightning, Spectral Shield or the mask you wear in the final boss fight the Monter Parts Merchant Mask.
You can also unlock some perks for your armor by presenting the jeweler at Gerudo Town 10 Twinkling Titanite. You'll generally want to save these upgrades for the weapon you'll use to win the game. For instance the Longsword or Battleaxe. But it's useful to have some upgrades to the helmets and chest armor to allow you to sneak around some monsters.
Potions
Potions are liquids that, when consumed by the participant, produce an immediate effect. There are five types of potions, each with a specific set of effects and durations. Some potions may be upgraded, enhancing their level of effect. You can also enhance the effects of certain potions by adding redstone dust and glowstone dust.
Potion upgrades cost a certain amount of XP. These can be earned by crafting them using a craft table or in the chest of the Alchemist. The upgrade price varies depending on the type of potion used and the
item level upgrade's rarity as well as Mark Level.
To upgrade a potion to the next level, right-click on it in your inventory and select the "Upgrade" option from the menu. This will open a GUI that allows you to select the potions that you wish to upgrade, and the amount of experience they will offer when upgraded. The upgrade of potions can be completed in batches of up to five at a single time, and the XP they provide will be added to your current XP level.
Once a potion has been upgraded, it will not be degraded until you use it again or break the bottle it is stored in. You can also rename the potion by clicking it in your inventory.
There were a few updates to the mechanics of potions in version 1.7.2. For instance the splash potions now have a duration of zero,08 seconds (this is not the same as the 22.5 seconds displayed on the
item upgrade hover display). The table of potion now made of four Wood Planks, and two Glass. This allows it to be utilized by players in Survival and Bedrock. Unlike the Java Edition, Bedrock edition potions are not able to be combined in cauldrons. Additionally, using a potentio in a cauldron that is full drains the liquid and replenishes the bottle.
In addition, there are lingering potions that are brewed with dragon breath and splash potions. Similarly, a lingering potions can be enhanced by adding redstone. The potion table is now laid out more in line with the Java Edition, and new potions were introduced, including the potion of leaping and the decomposition potion, as well as turtle master potions.
Trinkets
A trinket is a small and inexpensive ornament or piece of jewelry. It could also be a small ornament or object that serves a purpose, but isn't important as a thimble. In certain cultures, trinkets are used to symbolize affection or friendship, specifically between family members.
Trinkets can be upgraded by players in addition to weapons and armor, as well as potions. They 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 stats.
The upgrade vendors are located in major cities and in the capital of each zone, as well as in in dungeons. Upgrades for trinkets are offered with tokens, gold, or fragments from trinkets that are rare.
Upgrades are a less expensive alternative to buying a new trinket. It can be done by the player for just 12 tokens. The new trinket will feature the same base ilvl of the older one, and include an additional 1% upgrade bonus.
Trinkets can be upgraded once they're no longer useful, allowing a player to boost their power and value over time. They can be traded between players and are a viable alternative to gold.
In general players should upgrade their highest priority items first. This means that the top-in slot items for each class are first upgraded then their secondary gear and finally other equipment that they won't replace anytime soon (such as rings or cloaks). Players should also consider their class's preferred stats when selecting which items to upgrade. For example, if Haste and Crit are the two most important stats for tanks, they should prioritize upgrading their chest, helm shoulders, belt, and helm.
After they've become unusable, trinkets can be upgraded to a higher level. The new trinket comes with an additional 1% bonus. Re-upgrading will destroy the trinket unless it can be saved using the help of a Black Lion Salvage Kit, or a salvage tool. This means upgrading trinkets is more expensive than other upgrades, yet is still cheaper than purchasing an entirely new trinket.
