World of Warcraft - item upgrades Upgrading

Item upgrading allows players to boost the gear score of an item level upgrade up to 700 and also add an additional perk. Items can be upgraded if they are in your inventory and you bring them to the kiln.

Certain items can be upp'd for their unique stats (like an ideally broken point armour that is rolled for melee PvP) while other items, such as weapons do not change significantly after an upgrade, so they aren't worth upgrading.

Weapons

Upgrades to weapons can boost their numerical stats, such as attack damage, crit chance and PvE/PvP damage. Weapons come with a flat-rate bonus that increases damage per second. Some weapons also come with an unaffected bonus that is activated when three or more identical weapons are placed in a unit. This bonus may be greater than the damage that an upgrade alone can do.

A weapon's upgrade costs depend on the nature of the weapon as well as its current level. For instance the weapon with a +2 rating will require two regular Smithing Stones to upgrade while a +3 requires four. The number of stones required to upgrade a gun will increase until it needs an upgrade to a higher level of Smithing Stones. At that point, it will reset back to one.

Upgraded weapons can also alter their base stats. This is generally a positive aspect, but it may also have negative consequences. For items that only see use in a particular build (Whistant's shield for FB sorcs, for instance) upgrading them could render them unusable unless you happen to have an extremely fortunate roll.

It is possible to upgrade armor items to boost their performance. This will increase the defense base of a chest or helm while belts and gloves can boost their strength and agility. Armor also offers an option to reroll its Enhanced Defense percent, which means that it can sometimes roll back to a lower number.

The upgrade template for a weapon shows the new stats that it will gain upon upgrading and their respective values. 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% doesn't mean that it will strike for 3 times less often, since it is an absolute statistic.

Rerolling a weapon is also possible by pressing the green button within the item menu using the arrows that are circling. This will reroll an item and alter its stats but not reset the weapon's levels or bind it to account status.

Armor

A few armor upgrades can make a huge difference in your ability to survive. Certain sets can offer massive improvements in the resistance to poison, curses and fire as well as magic. This can make it easier to traverse difficult terrains. In general, the greater defense you can offer your character, the greater health you will receive from each point. Therefore, it's a good idea to upgrade your armor.

To improve your armor, head to one of the Great Fairy Fountains in the game. There are four Great Fairy Fountains in the game, and to unlock them all, you have to complete an additional quest that involves the Stable Trotters. Once you've done the main side quest and completed the corresponding fountain, you can then talk to any Great Fairy to open up the armor upgrade menu.

The amount of material needed to upgrade each piece of armor is different. In general, you're looking at anywhere between three Red Chuchu jellies and 10 Rupees for the first upgrade, and then anywhere from five Rubies and ten Fire-Breath Lizalfos Horns for each subsequent one. For instance the Champion Leathers could be upgraded to +5 defense, which allows you to keep up with a large group of adversaries in most cold environments and the Snowquill Headdress can be upgraded all the way to +20 defense, giving you enough protection to survive the full-on assault with a few friends.

You can't 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 worthwhile to save your armor upgrades to use for 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.

By giving the jeweler 10 Twinkling Titanite in Gerudo Town in Gerudo Town, you can gain some benefits to your armor. You'll typically want to keep these upgrades to the weapon you'll be using to beat the game. For example the Longsword or Battleaxe. However, it's beneficial to have a few upgrades to the armor on your chest and helmets to allow you to sneak around some monsters.

Potions

Potions are liquid substances that, if consumed, give the user an effect on their status for a short period of time. There are five types of potions, each with different effects and durations. Some potions can be upgraded to improve their effectiveness. Additionally the effects of certain potions can be enhanced by adding redstone or glowstone dust the potions.

Potion upgrades cost a certain amount of XP. These can be earned by making them on a table or the chest of the Alchemist. The upgrade price varies depending on the type of potion used and the item's rarity and Mark Level.

To upgrade a potion, click right on it in your inventory and choose the "Upgrade" option from the menu. This will open an GUI where you can choose the potions you want to upgrade and the amount of XP they'll yield when upgraded. The upgrade of potions can be completed in batches of up to five at a time, and the XP that they generate will be added to your current XP total.

When a poton is upgraded, it will not degrade in the event that you use it again or break the bottle in which it is stored. You can also change the name of the potion by clicking it in your inventory.

Version 1.7.2 brought a few changes to the mechanism of potions. For example splash potions now have the duration of 0:08 (this is not the same as 22.5 seconds shown on the item hover display). The table for potion is constructed from four Wood Planks, and two Glass. It can now be used in both Survival and Bedrock. Bedrock Edition potions are not compatible with cauldrons like Java Edition. This is the same for using a potion in the cauldron that is filled. This will drain the potion and refill the bottle.

In addition, there are simmering potions that are made using splash and dragon breath potions. Redstone can be added to potions that are lingering to increase their effect. The table of potions is organized more closely to the Java Edition, and new potions were introduced, including the potion of leaping, the potion of decomposition, and turtle master potions.

Trinkets

A trinket could be an ornament that is small and inexpensive or piece of jewelry. It can also refer to an ornament or object that serves a purpose, but is not important as a trinket. In some cultures, trinkets are used to symbolize affection or friendship, particularly between family members.

Trinkets can be upgraded by players as well as weapons or armor, as well as potions. Upgrades can be purchased by paying the appropriate currency to an upgrade vendor. Trinkets, unlike other items that can be upgraded, can be swapped at will without losing stats.

Upgrade vendors are located at the capitals of every zone, and in some instances in dungeons. Upgrades for trinkets are purchased using tokens, gold or fragments of rare trinkets.

Upgrades to trinkets are an economical alternative to buying new ones. One can upgrade a trinket with as little as 12 tokens. The new trinket will come with the same base ilvl as previous one, and will come with an additional 1% upgrade bonus.

Trinkets can be upgraded when the old ones are no longer useful and allows players to increase their power and worth over time. They can be traded between players which makes them a good alternative to gold.

In general players should upgrade item their top-priority items first. This usually means the best-in-slot items for their class, followed by their secondaries, and finally other items of gear they won't replace in the near future (for example an earring or cloak). When deciding on which items to upgrade players must also consider their class's preferred statistics. If Haste and Crit are two of the most important stats to a tank player and they want to upgrade item their helm, chest and shoulders.

Once they have become useless trinkets can be upgraded to a greater level. The new trinket has an additional 1% bonus. However, a re-upgrade is likely to cause the trinket to be destroyed in the event that it is not saved using a Black Lion Salvage Kit or an additional salvage tool of higher quality. This makes upgrading trinkets more expensive than other upgrades, yet is still cheaper than purchasing a new one.
