World of Warcraft - Item Upgrading

The upgrade of an item lets players boost the gear rating of an Item upgrader kit by up to 700 points and add a final bonus. Items can be upgraded by keeping them in inventory and heading to the kiln.

Certain items can be upp'd for their unique stats (like a perfectly rolled breakpoint armour used in melee PvP) while other items, such as weapons do not vary greatly post upgrade, and therefore aren't worth upgrading.

Weapons

Weapons can be upgraded to increase their numeric stats such as the chance to crit, attack damage PvE and PvP damage. Weapons also come with a flat bonus which increases the damage they deal per second. Many weapons also come with a fixed bonus which is activated when three or more identical weapons are placed in a group. This bonus can sometimes exceed the damage a weapon upgrade alone can do.

The cost of upgrading a weapon's capabilities is contingent on the nature of the weapon as well as its current level. For instance, a +2 weapon requires two regular Smithing Stones while a+3 requires four. The number of stones needed to upgrade a weapon will continue to increase until it requires the higher level of Smithing Stones, at which the number will be reset to one.

Upgrades to weapons can also change the stats of their base. While this is generally beneficial but it can also have negative consequences too. In the case of items that only see use in a specific build (Whistant's shield for FB sorcs for instance), upgrading them may render them unusable unless you happen to have an extremely lucky roll.

Armor items can also be upgraded to boost their performance. For example, if you upgrade item a helm or chest, it will boost the defense of its base, while gloves and belts will increase their strength and dexterity. Armor has a rerolling option for its Enhanced Defense%. This means that it can sometimes reroll down to a lower value.

The upgrade template for a weapon shows the new stats that it will gain upon upgrading in addition to their relative values. This means that an upgrade from a sword that has 8 damage to an 11-attack-damage sword would result in a weapon gaining an attack damage of 3. However the 3% difference doesn't mean that it will hit for 3 times less often, since it is an absolute number.

Rerolling a weapon is possible by pressing the green button on the item menu, using the arrows that are circling. This will roll an item and change its statistics, but it will not reset the weapon's levels or connect it to an account's status.

Armor

Adding a few upgrades to your armor can make a huge difference in your ability to endure. Certain sets can offer massive increases in resistance to curses, poisons and fire as well as magic. This makes it easier to navigate difficult terrains. In general, the more defense you have for your character, the greater health you will gain from each point. So, it's Best item upgrade to upgrade your armor.

You can upgrade your armor by visiting any of the Great Fairy Fountains. There are four Great Fairy Fountains in the game and to unlock each one you have to complete an additional quest that involves the Stable Trotters. After you've completed the main quest, and the corresponding fountains, you'll have the option of talking to any Great Fairy in order to unlock the menu for upgrading armor.

Each piece of armor can be upgraded up to three levels, and the amount of material and Rupees required for each will vary. You'll require anything from three Red Chuchu jelly and 10 Rupees to upgrade the first armor piece, and anywhere between five Rubies or ten Fire-Breath Lizalfos Horns to upgrade each subsequent one. For example, the Champion Leathers can be upgraded to +5 defense, which allows you to keep pace with a good-sized group of adversaries in most cold climates, and the Snowquill Headdress can be upgraded up to +20 defense, giving you enough protection to withstand the full-on assault with a handful of friends.

Note that armor can't be upgraded the same way as weapons, so you'll want to focus on enhancing it to increase physical power if you're a Warrior or Spell Power when you're Mage. It's also worthwhile to save your armor upgrades for the armor you'll be wearing at the end of the game, like the Ring of Lightning and Spectral Shield or the helmet you'll wear to fight the final boss, the Monter Parts Merchant's mask.

You can also get some advantages to your armor by presenting the jeweler in Gerudo Town 10 Twinkling Titanite. In general, you should keep these upgrades for the weapon you'll be using to beat the game, such as the Longsword, Battleaxe or Warhammer however, it could be beneficial to have a few upgrades to your chest armor and helmets that let you stealthy battle some monsters.

Potions

Potions are bottled substances that, if consumed, give the user a temporary status effect. There are five kinds of potions, each with different effects and durations. Some potions may be upgraded, enhancing their level of effect. Additionally, the effects of some potions can be enhanced by adding redstone or glowstone dust them.

Potion upgrades cost a certain amount of XP. These can be earned by crafting them on a crafting table or in the chest of the Alchemist. However, the upgrade price changes depending on what kind of potion you wish to upgrade, as well as on the item's Mark Level as well as its rarity.

To upgrade a potion you need to right-click it in your inventory. Then, select "Upgrade" from the menu. This will open a GUI that allows you to select the potions that you wish to upgrade items, and the amount of experience they will give you when upgraded. Upgrading potions can be done in batches of up to five at a single time, and the XP they earn will be added to your current XP level.

When a poton is upgraded, it will not degrade until you use it again or break the bottle within the container it is kept. Clicking on the potion in your inventory will allow you to rename it.

There were a few changes to the mechanics of potion in version 1.7.2. For instance, splash potions now have the duration of 0.08 seconds (this is not the same as the 22.5 seconds shown on the hover display for the item level upgrade). The table of potion can now be made using four Wood Planks and two Glass. This allows it to be used by players in Survival and Bedrock. Unlike the Java Edition, Bedrock edition potions are not able to be used in cauldrons. The same applies to the use of a potion in an empty cauldron. This will deplete the potion, and refill the bottle.

Finally, there are simmering potions that are made with dragon breath and splash potions. Redstone is also added to lingering potions to enhance their effects. The table of potion ingredients is rearranged to look more like the Java Edition. New potions have also been added such as the potion of leaping as well as decomposition.

Trinkets

A trinket is a tiny and inexpensive ornament or piece of jewelry. It can be a reference to an object or decoration that serves a purpose but is not particularly significant such as a tiny thimble. In some cultures, a trinket is used to signify friendship or affection, especially between family members.

In addition to armor, weapons, and potions, players are able to upgrade their trinkets. These can be upgraded by going to an upgrade vendor and paying the appropriate amount in currency. Trinkets, unlike other items which can be upgraded can be swapped at will without losing stats.

The upgrade vendors are found in major cities and in the capital of each zone, and in some instances in dungeons. Upgrades for trinkets are available with gold, tokens, or fragments from rare trinkets.

Upgrades are a less expensive alternative to buying a new trinket. A player can upgrade a trinket for as little as 12 tokens. The new trinket will have the same base ilvl of the previous one, and will include an additional 1% upgrade bonus.

Once the old Trinkets are no longer useful, they can be upgraded. This allows a player to increase their power and value over time. They can be traded between players, making them an alternative to gold.

In general, players should upgrade their most important items first. This usually means the best-in-slot items for their class, then their secondaries and item upgrader kit then other gear items that they won't replace in the near future (for example rings or cloaks). Players should also take into consideration their class's preferred stats when selecting which items to upgrade. For example when Haste and Crit are the two most important stats for tanks, they should prioritize upgrading their chest, helm shoulders, belt, and helm.

When they are no longer useful, trinkets can be upgraded to a greater level. The upgraded trinket will give you an additional bonus of 1. A re-upgrade, however, can cause damage to the trinket unless it is saved using a Black Lion Salvage Kit, or a higher tier salvage tool. Upgrades to trinkets can be more expensive than other upgrades but still cheaper than buying new ones.
